Did you remove Pain Attunement on purpose?

He's CI which can't go low-life. Life is either full (1/1) or empty (0/1 = dead). But he missed an endurance charge and in my opinion his crit chance is too low, even with voidbringer. Unless he has a shield with >100% crit chance.

i think once he gets arcane potency the crit chance issues is settled

as for endurance charge he can take the inner route to get the stamina instead of using the outer iron reflex route but it will take 2 or 3 additional skill points though.

;)

I have gifts from above ring too. And Q crit weakness curse.
Overall and for now my crit damage (tree+gear) is 59,5% with 6 P. charges it's 83,5% and with cw. curse =92,5. When I grab three more nodes around arcane potency it will be 90,32 (99,32 w curse)

Why only 6 P. charges? Because I deliberately took end. charge as bandit reward. Anyway I have 6 power /6 end and 3 (will be 4) frenzy charges, as you see it all evened out nicely :)

In that case you're doing something wrong because with Spell Power, that you grabbed, I'd do close to 100k dps, which is suicide even for CI against reflect. Add -resist, bloodmagic (etc) maps and there's a pretty big variety of map setups that you can't run.

I played through cruel Dominus today and got to a1 merc. Died 25 times during my run to Dominus, the bosses before and whatnot. Most of them caused by massive lag as GGG thought it'd be a good idea to add even more graphics effects to the game, so besides random PoE crashes (only been happening since release) I also get 800ms lag spikes frequently. Yay!

In other words, I'm quitting PoE. GGG obviously is more interested in having shiny effects and lots of auras, artificially ramp up the difficulty for the final fight, adding all the shittiest monsters from the whole game to the last areas than to make this game stable. I can play online shooters perfectly fine, yet PoE is clogging up my 50mbit connection and still lags. Not even talking of desync which happens much more often now than ever before.

Had wanted to try this build in domination, have some great farming spots that few people farm and could have achieved something there. But I refuse playing a game that's made worse and worse in terms of gameplay patch by patch. baibai. Thanks for the great build, Cloud.

I never had problems with reflect nor I feel too much of desync on my discharger. I mean it's noticable but not as my other chars.

Many ppl have unjustified fear of reflect however thanks to vaal pact, and if you are hitting multiple targets seems that you simultaneously leech from each /as you do damage. Not sure how mechanics work but I can confirm that reflect is least of my concern, I have never died to reflect mob, ever.

You don't hit crit. weakness curse on it ofc. And if mob is alone you don't have to ride in with all charges lit up, you can control how much charges you discharge if need be.

As for your other problems, yes, last days there were unusually many DCs and lag spikes but I believe they'll sort it out, it's just normal release problems, many things are new, give it few days, don't rage quit just yet :)

thorien

Here's how reflect works. Discharge hits X targets that are in range of its AoE attack. The damage is applied to all targets first, reflected then and then you leech life back. That means if you survive with more than 1 life point, you're at full life again (due to the massive amount of life you leech back). It's not simultaneous, though, so no matter how much you leech, you gotta survive your own hit first. I'm hovering around 73k dps with 7 endurance charges and 5k-ish ES and can one shot myself on ele reflect if I cast crit weakness. I'd assume spell power (100k dps) would one shot 8k-ish ES, which is where I'd put you.

It's not a rage quit, GGG has never addressed these problems since end of February 2013, which is when I started. Not just the lag and the crashes are horrible, also a3x content, the boss fight.. basically aside from balance changes I dislike everything about 1.0 . This game is going in a direction I don't like one bit.

off topic:
Completely agree with you, after 1.0 most of my chars are destroyed...Most of my chars Ive invested hundreds of hours of leveling and farming currency got destroyed. My Sporker is useless now...got Blender, cant rly play him after rework without Soul Taker, which I cant afford cos GGG decided to make it "legacy" item unaffordable without using RMT/thousands of hours of farm...and ye, my Discharger got nerfed hard with the insane increase cost but unlike the above its still playable
Whenever I log in I cant rly play more then few minutes, all the desync and ppl spam legacy uniques for 1000 ex in trade chat makes me puke
Gonna quit as well, or take a LARGE break

Teacher and Thorien, thx for the help you gave me with my discharger/sporker in the past, had lots of fun playing it pre 1.0
