[NOT UP TO DATE][11.0e] Vinz's 7-Aura Mass Shock 20k dps LS Build (With Gamplay Video)
  BUILD OVERVIEW ------------------ Hi, I am a melee class lover. After trying Elemental Cleave (level 81) / Physical Cleave (level 83) / Sweep Build (level 76) and EK Tank (level 86), I have finally decided to build a new melee char that uses Lightning Strike while inherit some ideas from Ele Cleave / LS builds. This build have the balance of offence and defence that runs 7 auras. Mainly focus on Lightning Strike as both single target and AoE dps, while maintaining 3 shock stacks on every mobs. The build requires blood magic support gem for all active skills. Against monsters that can hit for a lot of damage (Brutus / Vaal), you can always play as a semi-range character, which is a hugh advantage over sweep and cleave. Latest change: 0.11.0B CHANGES:

Solid build, I am pretty close to this already and doing maps (missing a few auras however). I might tweak it to match this a bit closer.
Thanks for posting! | |
" You're welcome, glad that you like the build. I'm currently working towards getting a new weapon (2H sword) and grab Blade Master + Cruel Blade. Should be quite a dps boost.

You should use covenant to cast blood magic auras rather than mask right? The mask multiplies cost by 100% while the covenant chest doesnt.
I also wonder if the several point investment into reduced mana reserved and haste is really required. I don't feel that aura is worth the investment. The attack speed is additive, not multiplicative and ms is irrelevant when usin movement skills. I could save several nodes and get more hp by letting me put some other aura in mana pool. I would just skill the duellist starting area attack speed nodes instead (10% with only two nodes). I know level 20 haste with inner force provides with 17% but I am not convinced. ign KlearSpeed 1.3 Torment - Scion Kinetic Build Guide (HC Viable) http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1146976 Last edited by iMbaQ on Apr 4, 2013, 9:06:49 AM

" The Mana Cost affect does't not affect reserved mana cost, so both Mask or covenant work the same. Life Reserved for Anger lv19 (101), Wrath lv18 (97), Grace lv20 (136) with Reduced Mana lv20 and reduced reservation nodes. A total amount of 334 life reserved (will be slightly higher once anger and wrath reach lv20). Ambush: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/edit-thread/815193

" Just saw the second part of the post (after the initial post edit). There are a few reasons I grab the mana reservation nodes: 1. Blood Magic Keystone (aka no % aura) build is very common for melees (providing extra 17% haste and movement speed for melee is a very huge gain). 2. Unlock the 10 str requirement for Splitting Strikes (will get that @ lv84), this will grants you 8.5% atk spd per skill point spent. 3. If you look at my current level 80 build, I do have the 6% atk spd. Able to run Haste if one of the most efficient way to get attack speed (with only 2 points). 4. Usually run maps with at least 3 players. I know you can get Haste from somebody else, but do not count on range character since aura radius is quite small. If you wish to provide more dps for the party (or at least for melees), I think Inner Forced Haste is a very good choice. Ambush: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/edit-thread/815193

Messing around with the new melee gems. Multistrike looks promising, but might have to do a little tweaking to the passive tree. Getting close to 20k dps without EP gem. Also added a simple video on shock stacking.
