[0.11.2] Lightning Arrow Duelist - 1.0.0 updated!
" It's not really needed. LA builds do the majority of their damage from applying shock stacks. That being said, all your support gems are aimed towards increasing your chances of applying shock to your targets for you and your group. Maybe if we had more sockets to work with, but since LA requires 5 sockets alone just to work, it isn't really a viable option. Mess with the best, die like the rest.

Ok guys, time to pick me apart. "WOW WHY DID YOU DO SO AND SO, LOLSCRUB"
I don't care and I won't be offended. I just want to optimize my build and my gem-setup. I'm currently capped on fire and about 10% off cold and lightning from being capped. I run Haste, Hatred, Purity, Determination, Grace, Wrath, and Anger. I find that my DPS tooltip looks much better with all these auras vs. the BM keystone build. I wanted to experiment a little with my build for softcore seeing as if I took all the lifenodes in the original build I'd be over 7K (ish). I'd like to have at least 5K life capped resist and MAX DPS! My friend is making a MF character and I will be tasked with killing the maps mostly with just support such as freezing totems from him. Now that my essays over, here is my gear setup and talent tree. Feel free to rip me to shreds! Keep in mind I want Life nodes, but I also want DPS nodes because of the above. Help me optimize my build, find the shortest node trees to the main nodes I need. Here is my current 94 Point Build at level 75: (Decent Life GREAT DPS LA/Frenzy Duelist Softcore build) https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQABLMFLQx9Dq0QfxNbFSAXHRjbGbQaOBpsGtshYCP2KU8ppSpNLIUs6TIJMn4yiTrhPC0_J0CgQ5xKfUz_VcZV1lb6V-JaGluvYEtjp2TnZ6BnvW6qdO108Xflerh674Kbh3aI8Y1-j0aQVZstm6Gdrp65ogCmV6cIp4Suk69stz63triTvea-p8APxPbFisaexq7K082Yz2XQ0NJN3Q3dRt7G5CLnY-pi7DjuDu5v707wH_JF-WP6sfxO_MX-Cg== And of course the gear (sucking not having many slots due to Kaoms, just enough to run my auras and 2 main skills only.. leap slam is on alternate wep slot)
Spoiler
Can't bring myself to run the Destruction Mesh Boots, they lower my HP by almost 100 and keep my Fire/Light 15% under the cap :\. I get a 500 DPS boost with them though <3. Hope my essay wasn't too long. But, HELP! I just feel like theres something I could fix with my build to optimize it a little more. Please post alternate trees that are somewhat similar to what I am tryin to accomplish (AKA MORE DPS, Medium Life). Thanks so much in advanced for your guys help! GO LA DUELISTS!!!!

*bump* i know "scrubcore" LA builds aren't the norm, but I really need input on my build and setup. I am not sure if my build is optimized as far as using the fastest ways to nodes and the like.
Thanks. IGN: ReflectDeezNutz

currently running pretty much your CI LA specc but with mana regen and higher ES. how can u not have mana problems? i have 80 mana per sec and i have a shitload of problems atm!

" You will have to get mana regen nodes, more then list, while leveling probably - or have nice leech gear. But, the 2% leech by shadow, once you get there, will help in the endgame build since you will be using a lioneyes. Mess with the best, die like the rest.

" Over all seems pretty standard build - few things I noticed that I don't like, although if it is softcore it really doesn't matter but... I really dislike frenzy charge nodes, unless any build is running right past it, or if you are a pure physical based bow user. Otherwise, it's normally not worth the 2-4 points you waste getting them. Can go to better things. Secondly, inner force is really a waste of points. I'd really only consider taking it if you are a tank-health based build (not LA) and want the boost from grace/determination/vitality. Otherwise, it's not really worth it. Lastly, Blackgleam isn't really that good in LA. If you were going 100% elemental, and using a tri-elemental bow and got a few more +elemental damage passives, it would be worth it - but, I think you will get more benefit from a 30%+ WED life/resists/ias quiver instead. Hope that helped. Mess with the best, die like the rest.

" yeah but i am in endgame man. doing 75 maps at lvl 83 atm and i have the auxium belt with 4 powercharges im at 6% manaleech. still having problems :( 10k frenzy and 2.8k LA dps atm | |
" Are you running a level 20 clarity? I don't see how you can have problems with A Chained LA, with that much manaleech, and clarity.. doesn't add up. Mess with the best, die like the rest.

79 mana per sec with clarity and 6% in total mana leech from phys and i can still see my mana go down when i use frenzy on single targets. and i have 1350 mana dammit. cant see where im doing wrong to have so much mana issues since it shouldnt be there! |
