ELE LIGHTNING STRIKE - ALL T16s, Shaper, Uber Atziri, HOGM, Chayula, Elder

How much dmg do we lose if we go with claws and soulraker cluster (so no need to take the mana leech)? I'm thinking we're gonna need more life leech, cuz even with my current gear and VP I leech very little mana. Was also thinking on crafting lightning leech on my dagger (but that would lose me 20% ele dmg)...

Hi bro, I'll run the numbers for claw again when I get home later today. Are you having trouble with life leech or mana leech? Your mana should be fine after you take that mana leech node. How much unreserved mana do you have when playing? If you want more life leech with VP you should use a vinktar flask to get more massive leech from lightning (which means you will have to spec Avatar of Veil, or use another flask with Grounding mod to prevent Vinktar's shock).

But following the nerf to VP next patch, yes you could build more leech with claw node and and life leech nodes by Vitality Void which will be close to VP anyway and then spec the new VP. But honestly I think it would be easier to just use a life flask instead of dropping 6+ points on leech.

We'll have to wait and see for the new 3.1 patch notes, but in the meantime if you want more leech please use Vinktar with VP.

I meant to say Ileech very little life, not mana. Sorry.

Mana leech is a-ok. Im asking about life leech in the case of dropping vp entirely come 3.1. For now I'm running without vp and trying to figure how to go about with normal ll. I'm still sub 80 so I'm missing some nodes and gear, but so far I'mmanaging quite well. Just want to make sure I have sufficient ll going forward. Unless I don't really need to fuss about it as long as I position myself well.

Np bud, Vaal Pact is very nice to have but not really necessary on this build. I'll post a vid without VP.

Only map I really wanted to use Vinktar's + VP was Uber Atziri to help vs. the mobs since there is a lot of ranged damage and you can start to take a lot of damage if you are not careful.

Please keep in mind that there are 3 modifiers to life leech: i) % of damage, ii) increased life leeched per second, and iii) increased maximum life leech rate.

So you will need to invest in ii) and iii) as well to get good life leech. Which will mean going to Duelist area and/or getting the new 3.1 Vaal Pact which will be by Duelist anyway.

We'll have to see any other changes for 3.1 to the tree, but overall it's not going to be a big deal - either we skip Vaal Pact 3.1, or I adjust the tree and we go to Duelist and grab new VP + another frenzy charge.

Also I think people under-rate life flasks, you can get some crazy life regen from flasks with Belly + Herbalism + Patfhinder Master Surgeon OR Profane Chemistry node. This is a vid I made testing life flask on my crit facebreakers - recovering 4.5k hp in nearly 1 sec from 1 sip.

Anny lvling tips??

Vid with two Minotaur fights with no Vaal Pact, one with some turbo, and the other had 100% extra damage as cold:

https://youtu.be/zVM1eSwLZ_4

All I did was unspec Vaal Pact so I am not using Belly which would give me even faster life recovery from flask and I did not change out Damage on Full Life.

Why Minotaur is because this is the toughest Guardian for me personally on this build because I cannot just kite him the whole time and I am forced to engage in close range as the fight gets longer and take more risk and damage.

Other Guardians I can just kite and take less damage. And for Vaal Temple bosses with enough skill you can take almost zero damage the whole fight if you are ranged.

Your video quality is so good.

@Ceryneian can u give some tips for leveling ? ;)

Hi bud, leveling really depends on what you prefer and what isavailable xD. I don't like putting leveling guide because people like to level different ways. Some people want to spec more defense first then add offense slowly, some the other way round. Some want to level wiht phys first, then swap to ele later once they get their gear.

In general I try to get Acro and Phase Acro as soon as I can, and I love using items like Ungil's and Briskwarp early on. Lycosidae too if you can find it. Ideally you should have Primal Spirit and mana leech once you start turning on the auras.

When you start getting Raider frenzy path you can then spec the frenzy charges.

Get a diamond flask as soon as you can ofc.

I would recommend speccing the general crit and general damage nodes first, and then do the weapon-specific nodes last (e.g. dagger) once you get your end game weapon because if you find a great claw it would make sense to spec claw and that would save you some regrets.

Gear-wise leveling is very flexible and really depends on what you can find until you can get the end-game items like Thunderfists, Choir of the Storm, and Voidwalker/Wake of Destruction/Darkrays.

Again keep in mind that you need to be flexible so if you find a Mightflay for example, then use phys damage gems and put on an aura like Hatred instead, and then spec the weapon nodes if you need to. Then later once you get your ele dagger and ele rings you can then spec the ele nodes.

Links really depends on your colors you have and how well you are sustaining your mana, sometimes when I level I find Multistrike a bit hard to sustain so I use the other gems instead.

Ty for answer ;) wanna try dat in mayhem ;) u lvled with lighting strike ?:P
