Is this build still worth doing in 2.5 after the nerf? with 14 grand spectrum?

I'd still say it will melt the balls off of anything. I'm gonna end up doing a weird variation with Eye of Chayula upgrade and go LL + PA for even more damage and probably dual curse. Still destroying everything so far as self cast flameblast in current league.

so anyone have a LL tree of this?

Currently playing this with 14 GS jewels, pathing to 15th now. Would probably be wiser to grab more es/defensive nodes though. 8.6k es at 82, the damage is insane using a 5l, 1-2 stacks for general clearing in t13-15s.

Feels a little fragile though, will probably need to run enfeeble.

Hu?
What makes this jewel so special? It gives "only" 4% increased elemental damage per jewel. There are plenty of passive nodes that give 8 or even 12-16% increased elemental damage.

What´s the secret here?

It's special because the bonus from each Grand Spectrum stacks with each other.

So it's basically (4% Elemental Damage) x (Number of Viridian Grand Spectrums) x (Number of Total Grand Spectrums).

In this case it's 4 x 14 x 14 = 784%. The OP makes reference to 980% damage because the jewels used to have 5% elemental damage.
