lightning coil player which aura are you playing with ?

is purity of lightning mandatory ?

See my previous reply on last page. Short version: Yes until you can cap res without it. For hc you'd probably want to keep pol still for the extra mitigation +max res gives you and the less chance to get shocked. SC you can probably go wild and add more dps auras.

Got owned by an Incinerate guy in PvP the other day, any tips on how to counter that stuff?

lost one match and barely managed to get a tie in the second one. Seemed like the guy had
permanent immortal call up making it almost impossible to make a hit, ended up getting
most of my kills with whirling blades just to avoid the incinerate spray.
Considering buying a flickerstrike gem, do you think that would be better?

Used legacy saffels 120% but did not seem to be of much help :)

Reave sucks in PvP. Flicker is the go to PvP skill for all Dagger builds.

I`ve been using doublestrike in PvP so far and it has worked fine...until I encountered this incinerate guy that is :) Guess I`ll go shopping for a flicker gem!

Allright, got myself a Flicker strike gem but after putting it into my 6l the damage
was pretty underwhelming, 10k with rats nest and auras... noticed when playing around with the
gem setup that faster attacks seems to have no effect, any other green support gems that would
benefit flicker strike?

Would like to avoid recoloring my 6l as it was quite costly to get it the way it is now (RRRBGG)

Peace!

Flicker tooltip is on-hit dmg and not DPS! Multiply it with your attackspeed for DPS value.
FA is wasted on Flicker, take Blockechance reduction gem instead.

How does this build get to +140 Intelligence from the passives done?

gear, unless you sacrifice passives into +30int for easier gearing.

(its about 70int from gear btw)

I just wanted to say that Lightning Strike works extremely well with this skill tree as well, not sure if you've had a chance to test it out yet as stated in the original post. I'm playing in Rampage now, used Double Strike almost all the way until now but just made the switch and am quite happy with it.

My links & gear are as follows:



I found LS to suit my playstyle much better since it's more versatile. Instead of scaling the melee portion of the attack for aoe, I use PPAD to increase the projectiles' damage. LS also gives you the bonus of getting shocks through the inherent lightning damage.

I haven't had problems with reflect - possibly because you get the benefit of Ondar's double evasion and the attack is being split into physical and elemental, though the last part is just a guess. I haven't done crazy maps (namely ele weakness with some other damage mod) because my gear is still lacking a bit in terms of resists & life as you can see.

Anyway, really fun build and I intend on pushing this further before Rampage ends!

Hi again guys!

Quick tip, try to link Elemental Proliferation to HoA, seems to speed up clearspeed greatly
while still being affordable manawise :)
