pabrt's Critical Mass Discharger 1.2 (molten strike coc)
"I used my build on my character just without the amulet. " Frenzy nodes only provide benefit on kill, rather than on crit, so they provide comparatively limited benefit. " Glad to hear it is going well for you! Last edited by pabrt#4594 on Nov 26, 2013, 1:59:13 PM

Planning on following this for my next build. I'm going CI but everything else should be similar(es nodes instead of life and blood rage on my cwdt).
I do have a couple of questions before starting. Can you heal your ES with flasks the same way other builds heal? I'm used to spamming seething flasks when I'm in trouble so this might take me out of my comfort zone. If seething flasks are not an option should I go ahead and grab Vaal Pact? Why not dual strike if we are dual wielding? Thanks for the awesome guide. Looking forward to sharing my progress. :) |

You cannot use flasks to heal ES, therefore Vaal Pact is a no brainer for many CI builds.
Dual strike is terrible for a lot of reasons. It provides half power charge procs, requires you to use a local crit offhand rather than prismatic eclipse, and synergizes poorly with multistrike. |

What are your thoughts on using something like Cast on damage taken > Arc > Chain > Prolif? I know we're doing a lot of aoe lightning already I personally didn't notice the power charge gain from using GMP Ice Spear. Being in the thick of things all the time and the lower crit chance on it (35% or so) I figure I'd give arc a try.

I'm not able to test it, but maybe a solution to not using a voll's devotion is to use two crit daggers and use frenzy instead of double strike. I know it isn't an ideal solution, but the loss of attack speed could possibly be mitigated by getting spell damage on the daggers.

"It would work fine. But I think any codt combo will have a fairly low impact on the overall build, so I haven't bothered to change mine at all. "Frenzy is never a solution, unfortunately. On a crit, Double strike gives 2 power charges and Frenzy gives 1 power charge and 1 frenzy charge. They're roughly equal in that sense, without a voll's amulet. However frenzy generates half as many flask charges from crits, making it a weak option overall. Last edited by pabrt#4594 on Nov 26, 2013, 6:54:20 PM

" I agree that 24% attackspeed is way better. Good catch. This is what I am looking at right now: CI Discharge |

is your current build still the one on the first page jc

I was wondering the dagger weapon gems
Those are 3L, and you putted in discharge, which will be separate from the main discharge on the chest, does that mean we have to manually use that particular discharge? Are the better gems to put into dagger? Also are there any build which are viable for mapping, and face tank stuff :D? |
|
" Not too sure if this was directed towards me, since the dagger I linked had a non-quality discharge in it. I have it in here to level it to 20 to sell off other then that you could put whatever you'd like into your weapon. |
