[2.3 Pro]Datboishagg's Ball Lightning/Vortex Elementalist

Figured out a slightly better pathing for you here - http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgMAAnEC4wMeBAcEswVCBx4HYwelCPQOSBEPES0RlhOeFE0UsBXnFm8WvxbzGmwfQR_HJKok2CY8JpUo-it4LJwvnTLRNuk74z1fQZZE-0VHRZ1G10lRSbJMLUyzUDBSU1NSVUtVxl3GXfJfKmBtYeJjQ2QJakNtGXBScNVzs3yDfjN_xoIQgh6Cx4M4g9uFbYnTiiiMNo5klS6XlZf0muCdgKIAoqOkka6ztQS2-riTvOq9gsBUwfPLvc360PXVgdsL217d89-K37DjauQi6-Tr7u988Gvw1fem-eg=

Less int(which is not really relevant), same amount of points, 20 more str, 10 more dex, if you still need to get a 30 dex node you can get it on the other side of the tree(Alacrity).

Oh my god Celestial Punishment is so good with this build if you use the Ice Spear setup (Also the Storm weaver node is sick). Im definately remaking this in the new challenge leagues.

Btw Datboishagg, if you wonder how far i came with the build i actually made it to 89 (which is my highest character) and didnt rip in beyond. The most fun i've had in PoE so far.

Ahh thanks for the input and sorry for the late reply. That alternate path could do wonders for gear/gem requirements, I will keep it in mind for reference thanks.

Celestial Punishment is going to be tiiiiiight. patch notes may or may not spell(pun intended) trouble but for now i'm just crossing my fingers.

Level 89 awesome! Glad i could be of some assistance. its always wonderful to hear you are having a good time with the build when i have put so much into the build and others get to enjoy it, it makes all the time and effort worth it =D

Finally updated for 1.3 with a bunch of goodies.

Glad you are diggin' the build =D , I was the point where additional leech wasn't needed, with lvl1 CWDT + lvl5 Warlords mark along with cloak of defiance automatically gave me enough life+mana leech to counter ele-reflect aura and sustain myself, granted i still used a topaz flask and did not run ele reflect maps. i was playing very ballsy and had no issues until i ran into otherworldly powerful crit devourers and reeep. i was aiming to finish off with probably the new unique lightning ring and doryani's belt.

Hello, just wanted to generate some additional comments from your self and our fellow exiles. Getting this out of the way, comparing my POE experience to yours is ridiculous, im a newbie. That being said I played ball lightning before reading your guide and wanted to point out that in my experience, knockback is significant. it increases both DPS and survivability. 200ms per dmg tick right? well knockback carries the enemies along with the ball lighting increasing the number of damage ticks. Hope I stimulate some conversation with my comment. Great build.

Finally did a 2.0 update. Not very far or very rich in Tempest league yet so there isn't too much extra info.

2.3 update and the new vortex combo is amazing. check me out on twitch at twitch.tv/datboishagg
