I have been using multistrike with it for a very long time,because the tooltip displayed a higher DPS and i was intoxicated with the excesive speed :D.However the tooltip,shows the DPS of the melee attack and not the projectiles,which are the ones that we really are interested at.After some testing i concluded that faster attacks is just much more effective.
On lightning strike the projectiles get a penalty of 30% less damage.Then if u use LMP u have another 30% less damage.On top if u use multistrike u still get a 30something% less damage,without even getting the % increased as it level ups,as it only applies to the melee attacks.So u have a whole lot of LESS damage.Try faster attacks instead and u ll see how more efficiently kills stuff,how more efficiently socks mobs,and how much it actually leeches.

just a quick question, why didn't you take the power charge nodes close to deep wisdom node?

Hello again...

I have been following your build for a while now and again, its the most ***-kicking I´ve played so far!


Just hit 84 today. Never thought it was possible when I was around lvl60... almost gave up there.

My dps was comparable to yours, but reflect = game over and ES = too low, any desync = game over.
Have been dying ALOT on lvl 82, (2 weeks no lvl up) until I decided to drastically change some things, starting yesterday...

Bought a massive amount of gcp and spent alot on new gear

I removed the maligaros and abyssus, dps halved doing so.
Changed to aurseize gloves (I had them 4L with correct colors so I didn't bother to look further), a 300es helm and upgraded to a 6ex+ 540+ vaal shield.
Now got 6450+ ES (+-5200 before) and 79/79/79res (i run lvl20 purity)

The aurseize may be changed to some 200+ ES gloves (would bring me to +-7.100es) but they do their job great for now.

For bosses I change to single target gem (73k dps) and its enough to rape anything up to 71maps. havent tried higher with new setup.

I found out 35k AOE - 73k singe is enough, just make LS main attack and flicker as backup/boss killer.

Also, I use molten shell + granite flask with +94% armour mod, totaling me over 11.000 armor =>57 phys reduction, this allows me to face tank some phys bosses (kole, blacksmith ect.)

And I upgraded LS to 20/20 LS... the pierce is amazing!!! should have done that 60lvls ago

Now, the best part, after those changes I got from lvl 83 to 84 in 2 days and died only once doing so!!
Reason of death... full game freeze, ctrl alt del needed, my friend on skype told me my char was standing in a mob and got eaten alive during that freeze...
Basically I didn´t die once on 83 with those changes.

I even survived a 6-party wipeout (promenade boss) and melted the hell out of him solo




End goal is 87... all after is a big ??? :)




So can I recommend this build?

YES YES YES YES YES


But find the balance between dps - es - res and you'll still rape maps at insane speed, without getting killed at every desync/reflect or other stupid mistake.

GL to you all and tnx poutsos for getting me to this insane build!!!
