(2.1) Jedi Strike -- litesabr's Doryani Lightsabres - BACK IN ACTION!!

I am testing out using Lightning Strike. It already fits the build nicely. So far, it seems to have less single target DPS, but definitely higher clear speed than Molten Strike.

Big update coming:

1) Lightning strike

2) Acrobatics

3) Now reflect capable w/o Atziri's Acuity (still need to test in high map)

Hey litesabr, have you tried using ground slam or cyclone? I found those two skills to have the best clear speed on my dual sceptre character, especially ground slam with increased AoE.

The reason why ground slam is awesome is that you can attack the entire screen at once in a huge cone while lightning strike can only attack a few monsters at a time.

Also, have you thought about going into the shadow area? The nodes over there are really, really powerful and efficient.

No to both, but for different reasons.

1) Cyclone: I'm not a fan of the desync that this skill has. I used it a lot when I did a shavs + mjolner build in month 2 of ambush league (while everyone else was doing life version). It was good, but I reeeeally got tired of the desync....

2) Ground Slam: if I remember right, you aren't use 2x Doryani for your build, just scepters in general. Doryani scepters are amazing for damage conversion skills like molten strike, lightning strike, and infernal blow (which is great for vorici single target missions). I believe that I'd need a very high rare scepter for ground slam to be as effective as lightning strike.

Also, with lightning strike's damage dealt being primarily from projectiles, ondar's guile is amazing vs reflect. My next on my to-do list is to try a reflect map w/o my acuities. I've already done 3 Atziri runs w/o them.

I've considered it many times, but couldn't decide what to remove from my current build that is less efficient than what I'd get in shadow area. Could you make a passive tree for me to see the exact changes that you mean?

EDIT:
While using Maligaro's Virtuosity, I just did a 78 map with reflect w/o dying. Ondar's Guild + Acrobatics + Rumi's Concoction + Jade Flask = success.

I've done 70 Apex runs already without Aquity for a week - ondar's guile/ aerobatics. 100% clear all. I tried Lightning Strike (nice for blue mobs and totems), but i think (not sure) that Molten Strike has more power.

Just killed uber atziri with molten strike!!!!

Dang, 1% from perfect es% AND chaos res with a good flat es roll too

EDIT:
Uber Atziri video added (whole run)

Congrats mate, knew you could do it.

Edit: So I just watched the video and it was just epic. And you got lucky on the axe too :P

I guess trying uber on a non block/crazy defensive character will require at least 7k life. And even then, that dual strike dude and some of those vaal guys as well nearly oneshot you. I'm amazed.

Did u kill Uber with LS or Molten?

And if u did go acrobatics didnt u change your armor for a Evasionchest?

Can u post a new link on what u use atm gearwise?

Tnx in advance

He used LS for general clearing and molten strike for killing the bosses.

Using an evasion chest is not really viable since most of your gem links are red. Of course, it would be more optimal if you could somehow get 5 off color slots in a 6l, but it's not really worth it imo.

This is MOSTLY correct. :) Optimal would be an armor/evasion chest with the same stats that I have one mine, but with flat evasion instead of armor.

On another note, sorry to everyone for not updating earlier. I've been working a lot this week. I am now working on doing it.

EDIT:
Finished the update. For specific changes, see change log.
