That's a very nice staff! It looks like it has 424 dps, which is just slightly below mine (437 dps). Also your has built in accuracy which is great for this build. It has 3 prefixes and 2 suffixes, so you could exalt it and try to get lightning% dmg, crit chance, crit multiplier, or a resist.

Thanks Tyronis. I am going to work on 6L'ing it and may exalt it I guess. I just haven't really done much crafting so unsure and hesitant I guess :)

So I've started to play with this build a bit now running low level maps. I do feel pretty squishy. Admittedly, I need to beef up my defenses a bit (especially life). However, as I level and gear up I'm wondering if running LMP or GMP wouldn't actually help a bit defensively. My thinking is that with large packs you will be hitting more critters and thus more shocks. Still running a 5L setup but if/when I get my staff to 6L I will likely try it as opposed to added fire. Anyone else doing that?

If you position yourself the correct distance from the pack of mobs you can hit almost all of them with the 3 projectiles you already have, you don't need anymore. Using LMP will decrease your damage meaning your shocks won't last as long.

How's so ? [136+409+4+56)/2]*1.19 is nowhere near 424.
Are you counting the +20% quality also ?

Yes I am counting it with 20% quality.

Tyronis, do you think I can get a pretty nice LS staff for 2 gcps? Or should I save up more to get something better?

2 GCP isn't a whole lot so if it's much better than yours then I think you should get it. It really depends on how good it is though.

Thanks a lot for the Build Tyronis!
I reach lv 65 recently with it and it´s a lot of fun to play with.
However i really struggle with my Life and my chaos resist because i am very hesitant of trading high value stuff after getting ripped off multiple times so could you take a look at my gear and tell me what best to upgrade and how much to aproximitly spend for the upgrades?

Edit: my current Life pool is 2350











My budget is 2 Exalt, i traded all ym currency upwards to get exalts but it shouldn´t be too hard to get them to GCP and Chaos again

Also i have some old staffs that i purchased and used untill i found my current one if anyone is interested.

240 DPS


300 DPS

How viable is this build on Onslaught?
Any updated skill trees or feedback?

Is it able to create same build with Groundslam? I'm just curious.
