[3.6] Vowel's Crit Storm Brand Elementalist - Flaskless Uber Elder
|
How do you manage elemental overload with almost no crit chance? lightning spire trap on bosses?
| |
" After i posted it it just kinda dawned on me, more lightning damage on every piece that can get it =P Next step is to 3 white socket my carcass jack so i can interchange added cold for added lightning, should make my storm brand hit even harder on bosses, that + the lightning spire trap should do the trick in any single target situation. Thank you very much for the groundwork and answering questions, build is so effortless, feels AMAZING :) |

Quick question as I've not played an Elementalist that clears screens ala BV before.
Do you guys lag for a split second before the screen gets deleted when there is high density? I'm curious if it's just me or if Beacon/HoI is laggy especially when combined with the more chains enchant. I have a fairly strong PC so I haven't run into this kind of issue in PoE since upgrading. Other than that, brands are easily my standout from this patch. I tried the Steel skills, which I didn't like. WO clears just as fast but it doesn't seem as easy to fix the ST issues as Storm Brand (*cough* Void Batteries *cough*). Heck, up to T12 I don't really need the traps at all with level 18 gems. Good guide, OP. I don't regret swapping this guy over from Occulist at all.
Spoiler
I probably want to stick with Devoto's as I use Phase Run and it feels so good, but I probably need to shoot for a wand upgrade first and foremost. Perhaps a Shaper ring with Warlord's on it, if I can get a decent one. The belt should be replaced with a Stygian eventually (and I didn't have a scour on me to replace that bad veiled mod before I went to bed).

" Lightning Spire Trap deals lightning damage only and the Added Fire Damage Support only converts physical damage over so it seems like a wasted gem slot to me. |

" Noted. Those are placeholder gems until I can color it right for the most part; I just grabbed two reds off the vendor. I might just shop for one on an easier base to get the colors. Last edited by JoeODanger#4553 on Dec 20, 2018, 12:20:21 PM

" Storm Brand has really high hit rate. With 5 brands, it hits a ton per second. You only need to proc it every 8 seconds so it's super easy getting 100% uptime as opposed to Armageddon Brand. I am a Mirror, I do not exist.

What Pantheon do you use for major and minor? Thanks for the guide, loving the new skill!

Hey, having fun with the build but i have 2 somewhat Minor questions:
1.: Have you tried/thought about Biscos for the Rampage clear? Haven't tried it myself but it shouldn't be too hard to add in.. Not too sure if you loose to much damage without a decent Stygian tho 2.: Why do you keep Shield Charge and Fortify on low gem-level? |

" I'm wonder this as well :D |
