Just a feedback on this build. Yes this is a pure farmiing build, currently on 79% IIQ/171% IIR, level 74. Since respeccing to this I can do a Merciless Docks run in under 4 minutes tops, ledge run under 2 minutes.

My damage isn't as much as Ecka has, I have approx. 1084dps with the ice spear power charges. I've found 5 uniques in a day and have made more money in the past few days than I have getting to 70.

Downfall is that you see nothing when you are doing maps as you are low HP.

All-in-all props to Ecka :)

Here is my set-up
I have 15% Spark which is BTW amazing. Hopefully getting Soul Mantle for a 3rd totem :)

like i said in other posts

I will link my gear when i will have ideal setup
For the moment i switch too many items/days for testing
i dont want to show you a way i will erase after and make many ppl in trouble

Things change with dps increase or gear setup and this is why i wanna wait more time before give you the best purpose for the build settings

Theory craft in this game is really interesting and some things "unexpected" can change all or not

Follow the gear objective in the main page and you will be fine

can somebody tell me if a 140% spell dmg (lightning dmg) wand is better than some wand with 70 spell dmg and crit chance/multi/castspeed ????

Update on RF testing

It begin to be more good than expected
Can sustain it for more than 1min now

In combat their is a safe way to give him a shiny utility when you are front in a TOUGH mob/boss
Cast totem
Search for a carebear place (Real safe one) Activate and think about recast totem when they die

for example im just in replacing totem on image
Was at right before


Need other testing about him I will post a huge feedback and different possibilities to use this spell :)

JUST DON'T TRUST TOOLTIP
(Tooltip is for LOOKATMEIGOTTHEBIGGER ...)
Sure it reflect your dps but i see some ppl i group with who have 30k dps and are just useless :) (they can't reach something before all mob get rape by massive spark fork


Depend on many things

"

cast speed =
high dps
same damage on hit

"

spell damage =
less dps than castspeed
More damage on hit

Let's take a example
You have an elemental with regen life and good resist

"

Cast speed will hit him more than spelldamage but with the resist and it's life regen
it can regenerate more than you damage him and fork will not hit him again until he bounce

"

With more spell it will do more damage on him but less hit
But he will get hurt and will have not enough time to regen

a other example
You have a squeleton pack with 2 necromancer behind

"

Cast speed Will proc more time spark (expo) and will cause Massiv amount of spark who do small damage
Necromancer will not have time to cast squeletons cause spark going crazy as hell and will rape their meat shield

"

Spell damage will one shot squel but less spark
So necromancer will cast squeleton and the miet shield will work

Cast speed will grow your dps but without high spell damage he will hit less damage and be less effective

Sorry for this simple answer it's 4:20 am bit lazy to post real Maths :D
You have to consider crit chance and crit modifier too who scale HEAVY on each other (and can give you an Insane increase of damage)

You had to test because you will see spark is very specific with fork
all i can say about the combo is mob can be raped like no other spell combo
And even more in Maze

ps: i hope i explain this clearly :D (Drunk a bit too haha)

I tested the new chest piece , it sux badly even if you 6 link it , it stacks curses even the totems are not dead.


I buyed it for 3.6 exalted (equivalent ) linked it to 5 link and sold for 8.5 exalted pure.GL

i've used 6l 1k es chest, 6l shav, n now trying out 5l soul mantle (will upgrade to 6l once someone sells it, i have the worst rng possible so i rather buy than self link)

have to say soul mantle suits my playstyle the best, and it's ironically the cheapest of the other chests. curses are irritating, but i havent actually died to it yet, even though i have stacked up to 7-9 curses at the same time. doesnt matter if u get a ton of debuffs if u're standing behind 3 totems + some minions n dont get hit at all.

n yes i'm doing my testing in lv 70+ maps solo (havent done past 74 yet since i used up all my 75+ on my main)

will have to be a different build for soul mantle though since i find CI works better with it than low life mf. sadly u'll have to lose the 100% mf from wondertrap n 30% from pain attunement, but boots with high IIQ+IIQ and the added dps of a 3rd totem (or flexibility of casting 2 totems n doing spell dmg yourself) more than makes up imo.

I was going to buy one, but the point of the build for me is to clear an area as fast as possible with the highest DPS. It's a shame you get so many debuffs and taking out wondertrap + pain attunement is a big leap in DPS and IIR.

you can do it without going CI and you keep wondertap and low life mode
You will have for sure more dps (30% more Brut damage)
But you will need to play More safe and understand all curse on you gonna do
And you will have a real low ES (except if you have endgame piece all around)

He have his advantage
But he have this "curses Irritating" + low life mode


He can be good but i don't recommend for this build (Curse are a fucking pain ...)
Can be fun at beginning but i think allways decurses yourself will make you rage like hell and don't have fun

Quick notes about your build Ecka:

1 - Power Charges on Critical sucks for this build, it sucks for any totem build because when totems crits -> YOU get the power charges but the totems do not, unless you recast them. Plus you will have trouble keeping them up (the charges) between packs of mobs. A much better choice would be Elemental Proliferation, even with your low critical strike chance, spreading the shocks on multiple mobs is better than totems not getting charges benefits or you recasting them!

2 - Whenever playing with lightning, you better get shocks! Simply put, a shock stack gives you 40% MORE damage, making shock stacking fast, a much better dps boost than any talents you currently have on your proposed skill tree. Shock stacking is what makes lightning builds so wildly successful in this game.

3 - If you are looking for better dps (when fighting actual mob packs) getting shocks through a combination of HIGH critical strike chance AND Static Blows AND Elemental Proliferation is far better than spending 12 (!!) points on +6% lightning damage nodes ;)
Put those points in Static Blows, more critical strike chance and more critical strike multiplier, use the Elemental Proliferation support gem (conveniently the same color as power charges on crit) and watch the mobs melt.

4 - Getting Static Blows + Shock (in the Shadow starting area) gives you 25% chance to shock mobs per hit - this means actually per cast!;
you have roughly 30% chance to critical strike (before gear) with spark;
assuming 2 casts per second x 2 totems you have 8(!!) x 30% chances per second to shock your targets ... let Elemental Proliferation do the rest :)

Just my 2 cents!
