pabrt's Critical Mass Discharger 1.2 (molten strike coc)
|
It seems to me that vaal gems kinda useless in this build...at least in main link. You can't spam them, you must charge them like flasks.. May be there would be vaal dual strike, which would hit..lets say 50 times instead of 2 :) Then we can put it in main link (if we are lucky to have 3 green sockets in voll's protector) and use normal double strike against trash and vaal version against tough enemies..
I definitely want to try vaal cyclone, because there will be now desync issue.. |

Seems like there aren't any vaal gems that will really matter to this build. Also vaal pact leech got nerfed 60%. |

Just curious -- how well does LGoH work with this build? I never tried it but given how fast we attack, wouldn't it potentially be better than LL in the first place?

" They also nerfed the shit out of normal LS, it won't stack anymore. Might be a problem, we will see. " As a link to double strike I don't feel it's worth it, it's less than life steal ATM. But cybils paw with firestorm is okay... Not enough to lose lifesteal though. Last edited by pabrt#4594 on Mar 4, 2014, 4:04:41 PM

" How are you figuring this? Just compare one hit (since same chance to hit regardless of leech method): [Assuming max quality/level gems] Life Leech ---------- 1.0 Hits 735 Avg DPS of Discharge 8.8% LL 85% Crit Chance 86% Chance to cast on Crit -- 40.4 Avg LL per hit Of course, you'll also leech that 8.8% for the physical damage as well, so go ahead and add another 12.75 life per hit (150dps dagger, to be generous). This takes us to... 53.15 Avg LL per hit Compare this to 54 Life gain on hit -- they're equivalent with rather generous inputs for Life Leech. Throw in the fact that LGOH applies instantly without Vaal Pact (and the 40% leech penalty) and it seems like an easy decision... am I missing something here? |

How did you figure that dps number for discharge? It seems incredibly low. Also discharge leeches in aoe which is necessary for reflect, life gain on hit will not save you from reflect.
Problem is basically life gain on hit doesn't scale well enough because it's a flat number and also it only works on your double strike hits. My basic math was that I hit approx 6 times a second, So ~300 life a second with lgoh With life leech I am always capped at the leech rate, so ~4500 x .2 = 900 a second with the 20% leech rate edit: Forgot about 20q leech, meaning at the 40% cap life leech should be giving around 1800 a second. double edit: just read the wiki page on life leech, that doesn't work quite how i thought it did, but it does mean that generally speaking this build is unaffected by the life leech changes Last edited by pabrt#4594 on Mar 5, 2014, 2:05:08 AM

New talent tree is up for those interested: http://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1zlt62/updated_for_110_offline_skill_tree_calculator/

Those buffed ele/spell nodes look very appealing

I went ahead and used the old talent tree and the new one and this is what I got.
Old and new one, respectively:
Spoiler
  This build is the one featured in the OP except I didn't include any level to the character (it's currently at level 0). Maximum HP was reduced by about 12%. Lost like 2% of AS and a bit of physical damage but this new talent build didn't really affect this build, it seems in terms of life nodes since when we go down to get IR there's some life nodes in there to compensate the ones lost near the scion path. fph ~ Orbs work in real life.
