Power Pulser [work in progress]

[this is still a work in progress, and I'm playing other builds as well, so may take some time to complete]

The Power Pulser is a combination of Power Siphon and Freezing Pulse (triggered via Cast on Crit).
The idea is, that with GMP, each siphon crit will trigger up to 5 lots of 3x5 freezing pulses.
With around 3 attacks per second, that's up to (in magical Christmas land) 225 pulse waves fired.

[Gear]


[Gems]
6L Power Siphon(lvl 5)-GMP-Cast on Crit-Freezing Pulse-Freezing Pulse-Freezing Pulse
4L Cast when Damage Taken(lvl 1)-Critical Weakness(lvl 5)-Elemental Weakness(lvl 5)-Enduring Cry(lvl 5)
3L Frenzy(lvl 5)-Increased Critical Strikes-Power Charge on Crit (for building charges vs bosses)
3L Cast When Damage Taken(lvl 1)-Arc(lvl 5)-Elemental Proliferation
4L Reduced Mana-Auras (currently only using Purity and Grace, with Portal in 4th socket)
4L Cast When Damage Taken(lvl 1)-Summon Skeletons(lvl 7)-Spell Totem-something else (I was using Blind, but don't want to reroll the colours in my Rat's Nest, as it is currently RRRB and I use it on another character)

[Passives]
at level 70

Will complete later...

You will have a monster of a boost when those pulses all are 20/20 and they have some range. Do you have a quality faster projectiles?

I'm not using faster projectiles support.

OP updated.

Very interesting build, am levelling a shadow now following your passives, currently at lv31. Some questions:
1. At what level do you start using power siphon with FP?

2. I was testing the 6L set-up and the mana cost was huge and I couldn't maintain more than a few hits before my mana ran out. How do you sustain your attacks?

Thanks!

Hello,

U'r build look very cool to play, i'm a fan of freezing pulse.

Really impatient to see a detailed thread about it.

I levelled with facebreakers, as cast on crit builds don't really work until you reach a critical mass of crit chance. I switched over at level 59.

You leave Power Siphon at lvl 5, and bereks grip should keep your mana full most of the time, a surgeons flask takes care of the rest. Berek's grip is very important for the build.

Sorry, but I'm having too much fun on my cyclone-cast on crit-EK character. Especially since I bought and 6 linked a belly of the beast in 3 fusings. xD
I also started a rain of arrows-cast on crit-storm call ranger, so it will indeed take some time for me to complete this.

I did however add a short vid to show the build in action, but it will take some time to finish uploading (my net sucks).

Video is up, please watch and comment here if you are interested in this build.
I'm most happy to answer any questions you might have.
