is fun so far! but I am having some difficulties.

thank you for your help.

Here you go, try this

It's got more mana and much more ES plus chaos immunity. From there either go towards Celestial Walker or Arcane Potency, good luck :)

Thanks so much lukeiy for all your insight and work into this build. Your info has helped me a ton to create my favourite character yet.

I just got a hold of the voll's devotion amulet, and since I basically don't need warlord's mark to build endurance charges anymore I'm trying to decide what curse to use. Do you think something like elemental weakness or critical weakness would be worthwhile or is that overkill and something like temp chains would be better for survivability? With the massive damage already I guess I'm leaning towards crit weakness to maybe provide more chaining of discharge and temp chains for mobs with some of the nastier mods.

Also, has anyone tried using a rime gaze with this build? The recovery reduction is kind of scary but the idea of having basically a 5L without paying a fortune for 5L voll's is pretty nice. Not to mention the mana and extra damage.

Ele weakness is much more beneficial versus resist mobs. Critical weakness is probably better for everything else once you get a high crit chance (maybe 60%+). I like having a range of curses for different situations. Frostbite for cold resist and reflect mobs. Temporal Chains if you need to run like you said.

So i just started making this char... like.. what weapons i am going to need. elem dmg? spell dmg? crit chance? ... and i am only going to stick increased area of effect an concentrated effect? and only discipline and blood rage? thats it? O.o thats how i will get 50K AOE DpS?

Hi, I can help a bit. First thing you might want to do is mouse over lukeiy's gear in the original post so you can see what gems he has linked as well as the stats on the gear. That should give you just about everything but I'll mention the important stuff. You are correct that you only need Increased AOE and Conc effect on discharge which you should take as good since you can put whatever else you might want with it (item quantity etc).

The true damage with discharge comes from the charges (endurance, power, and frenzy). The more you have the more damage and that's how you hit that insane 50k. Each charge is gained in it's own way and that's what the rest of your gear and abilities need to do. Voll's protector combined with high crit chance gear and skill points will give you power charges (lukeiy uses ice spear for this as do I). Blood rage will build your frenzy charges (you'll need to wait until you're CI for this one though to prevent the life drain). Finally warlord's mark as a curse or enduring cry to build your endurance charges. Voll's devotion is also an option to build the endurance charges if you're on the anarchy league.

You mentioned discipline and blood rage but you'll want clarity too as voll's removes half your mana and getting every last bit will be really important. Let us know if you have any other questions but I think a lot can be cleared up by just checking out the gear and links on the first post.

I'll also mention that everything does work as described in the first post. My setup is pretty similar except that I use voll's devotion amulet. Once I build full charges with a pack or 2 I can pretty much chain discharge non stop until there's a big gap between enemies due to the charges refilling each time. Whites take one discharge, blues about two, and most rares will be gone within 3 unless they have resist, extra hp, or regen.

I like the idea of having multiple as well. I run most of the time with a freezing pulse friend so I'll probably stick to frostbite with them and switch to elem weakness when solo. I'll slot temp chains for those oh crap what did I just warp into the middle of moments (as I use lightning warp to center myself in a pack). Thanks for your insight on it.

On an unrelated note I posted a comment in your Teleporting Bow Shadow thread in case you don't read that one much. I was just curious if you had thought about a similar setup with cyclone and multi-strike to take advantage of the crazy movement speed.

how do you deal with ele reflects?
secondly how much do voll's protector cost?
thx

1. You'll spot ele reflect before they come into range of discharge so just don't explode
2. Anywhere from 1 chaos to a few exalts depending on links.

Cheers for a great build ;)

topic creator what lvl you manage to go?

yeah good luck doing that ALL the time in the heat of a 6 man group especially in high density maps,with all the bull**** in the screen,and i dont even mention a 6man dischargers group did i?

im playing this build in anarchy right now (lvl72atm) tried all the topic creator's variations (i have 5k ES, max res, 40-50k dps full charge), dont get me wrong its a fun build i really love it and its so fast clearing low lvl easy maps or docks (especialy the 95% crit) but it has 2 major problems:

first the lack of defense value and second the reflect elemental issue (the ethereal knives ''solution'' mentioned is a joke)

you will not go anywhere near lvl80+ without frustration from deaths, sooner or later something will kill you,and you will DIE in many situations SO easy with this build its not even funny, because you cant play 101% cautious and perfect all the time


kripp's discharge variation with marauder might have less discharge dmg, explode less with more downtime but its so superior to survivability, i think i will respec my witch around that
