|| Discharge Witch Build || 50k+ AOE DPS 0.11.c

So I've stuck with this build, and at level 81 am still loving it. With the most recent patch, there's a new unique that I think would work perfectly with this build.

You'd lose the mana regen from Atziri's Foible, but this would eliminate the need for warlord's mark. You'd also lose some charge duration, but would no longer have to curse mobs to gain endurance charges. You'd gain your endurance charges every time you discharge with power charges, and wouldn't have to worry about some party member cursing mobs with something else right before you discharge. I'm not sure if this appears in the Anarchy or Onslaught league though. Once I find out which league in which it drops, I'll probably make a IIQ char in that league to see if I can score one.

How do you deal with reflect?

Without Vaal's Pact, this build has enough damage to oneshot yourself even against one enemy.

1. have you tried with vaal pact to kill reflect mobs?

2. Also using ghost reaver, do i still need to get a life leech gem if i take vaal pact??

3. If i need life leech, does it matter if its not quality life leech gem??

1. with vaal pack:

Discharge--->Life Leech--->Reflect Damage

2. yes.

3. with vaal pact quality does not matter

Hey thanks for the reply. i managed to pick up volls for 2 chaos Haha had one link but i got lucky n rolled it to four. Ill have to start saving up for the knife i only have 5 chaos but lots to sell. i respeced this build from ice crit witch. really struggled getting used to it at first but since I've got used to it and levelled my spells abit Im up to about 4k aoe at lvl 54. I dont have the best gear yet but Its so much fun. atm I've avoided chaos innoc and picked up few mana passives as i only have 500 hp and 1200 es plus have mana issues. just wandering why in the spell tree you don't pick up that one endurance charge that is one away? Is your tactic to gain charges w crit run in do two cries and boom. or is there more i shud know?

The extra endurance charge is not as important as solving the mana issues and getting more ES. The last thing you need to focus on is discharge damage because the only thing that helps with is clear speed. You're gonna have a low DPS if you have just respecced from cold crit, but you'll see it rise very quickly as your discharge gem keeps levelling up.

The playstyle takes some getting used to because it's a lot more complicated than most other builds. I might add some tips to the first post, if I do I'll be sure to update everyone. I curse everything with warlords mark then start spamming ice spear, so sometimes you get some endurance charges while you're gathering power charges. But basically once your discharge gets strong enough you only need the 7 power charges to kill the whites, and with warlords mark and blood rage you'll pretty much always get back at least 3 frenzy and power charges ready for the next pack.

Nice work on 81, you've gotten a lot further than I have yet!

I'm probably going to use this free full respec to try out a full crit build with this new ammy and just focus on Power Charges, grab the Endu Charge in the Templar area and that amulet. It should be possible to reach about 80% crit chance easily. Can you let me know which league it drops in?

Lord Chopf already answered but I'll go a little more in depth.

I don't think life leech is necessary, just play carefully. Ice spear proliferated freeze will hold the mobs long enough for you to check for any of those bright blue reflect spikes. A bit of crit multi and you'll have enough damage with ice spear to kill the reflect rare, and then you can just discharge on all the leftover mobs.

If you still feel like you need it though, quality life leech only helps you reach the leech cap with less DPS (max is leeching 25% of your life per second I think). For Discharge the damage is so high that you'll reach that cap regardless of whether you're using a quality gem or not.

P.S. divinarius vs void battery wand? which is better for pvp?

I posted about Divinarius vs. Void Battery a couple of posts back, please read. PvP I don't know, my build is for PvE and doesn't use Freezing Pulse. Part of the fun is experimenting? I'm not going to tell you how to make your characters, this is just a guide for people interested in following the build I use.

Looks like it drops in both leagues. I actually had one drop right in front of me today, but it rolled for another player. :( I was in A2 on normal, so I guess there's potential to find it pretty early on.

1. Is there a difference if you use discharge in voll's protector to gain power charges, or just wearing voll's protector and using discharge gem in rime gaze? The difference in getting power charges? Is it the same? I havent got time to test it.

2. did anyone tested that voll's devotion amulet.. i didnt found tested confirmation that you get 1endurance charge if you use 1power charge and you get 5endurance charges if you use 5power charges at once?

Is it 1:1 or just 1e ndurance per 4 or 5 power charges used?

Going to do this build with ghost reaver and vaal pact.

1.
Discharge in Rime Gaze will work exactly the same. Just make sure you get the ES recovery increase nodes because 50% reduced will change your recharge delay to 12 seconds... :S

2.
From the wording on the item, it is per power charge. 5 Power charges used ought to give 5 Endurance charges if you can have that many.

So I've got this ammy now and have tested - yes you receive a 1:1 ratio of endurance to power charges. Meaning if you use 1 power charge you get 1 endu charge, if you use 4 power you get 4 endu.
