That is why the DPS of the 5 builds I listed varies from 18K to 400k.

I was not aware that there was a consensus on what tooltip DPS numbers were considered good? Seems to be your personal opinion more than anything else. Tooltip DPS is also irrelevant for many builds (Spork Totem comes to mind), and it's real DPS that matters. Tooltip DPS does not take into account shock stacks, does not take into account degen like burning and chaos damage and is a faulty way of viewing a build's DPS.

Neither did I give a range on what tooltip DPS numbers was considered good, nor did I say that tooltip DPS was relevant for builds like Spark Totem. I think it would be safer to say that tooltip DPS for sporkers is not that relevant. Saying it is irrelevant is, oh wells, inaccurate at the least. Yes, of course I know how Sporkers work. Thanks for the reminder.

Since they released CODT it's Split Arrow > Lightning Arrow. CODT + Immortal Call means you can stack as much phys damage as you like, have zero armour (CI) & survive phys reflect with no problems. When I play with dischargers I kill the mobs before they can get their charges.	Posted by lethal_papercut#5270 on Nov 10, 2013, 8:32:28 AM Quote this Post

Yes, though GGG has promised us some changes to CoDT in the upcoming patch, which to me sounds like a nerf :/ I really hope its not.

wow. the only actual BUILD here is that of kripp. the rest as far as i read through is just grabbing the most OP legacy uniques or mirror-only-items and use whatever gems u like just for record i never watched any stream for longer than 10 seconds, so dont worry about fanboy-opinion in here.

Sorry if I sound like a Kripp-"fanboy", but I recall Kripp saying specifically that his Discharge Burning Templar build was not cheap to make. I mean...what if we can't afford a quality Shock Nova? =^( Zappy zappy.	Posted by CungPowCow#0839 on Nov 10, 2013, 12:04:27 PM Quote this Post
Kripp's build is extremely cheap in comparison with the others posted. You can farm enough to afford some quality gems and a 5link searing touch in a pretty nominal amount of playtime. EDIT: As for the flicker strike build, with the same level of gear you could make almost anything work. A flicker build pretty much has to one shot mobs to maintain frenzy charges and be effective, and that guys dagger is literally the best one in the game by a wide margin.
