[1.0.6] Goddess of Thunder - CI Storm Call tank [discontinued]

hey Enki91,

thanks for sharing the build.
Do you only use low life because of the effect of Lauri's Latern? Have you tried to run a life base non-low-life build?

Heya, i've always wanted to experiment with low life but was hesitant, cuz i never owned a shavs. So i thought for my very first own build i'd try to find a way around that, and still being viable.

After a few theory crafts, GGG released Storm Call and it was just a perfect fit. Storm Call scales insanely well with low life + conc effect + crit multi, and the opportunity to buff one aura on life let me spend less points on reservation nodes, and more on other stuff, which greatly helped since i squeezed kind of a lot into this build.

Lori's Lantern was a good addition i kinda discovered after testing a first draft of this build, thought the Unlucky Status is a great addition and it's overall a pretty decent ring.

Haven't tried to run this build as life-only, and it wouldn't work without ditching something else from the build, but some other of my chars ran on life-only.

Got a new chest now from a nice seller and fixed bandits reward to my 7th power charge, so there's a huge update posted in gear, offense and defense stat.

Also encountered Xandro Blooddrinker earlier and was.. disappointed. I could just stand there and chat with my guildmates, and he didn't really hurt me at all.

Hi

I try a similar build, but it's very hard to have a lot of critical strike chance with this skill.

What's your critical strike chance with/without power charge ?

Currently got 26% without / 40% with charges, add 9% with crit weakness.
Can get +3.6% maxing the passive tree, but that's about it. If you manage to max chaos res without an amethyst ring, you could also use a Diamond base for some more crit.

Just so you know Conductivity will add a lot more dps than critical weakness.

Sorry for the tl;dr, in less words: does anyone have a formula, that's fairly easy to understand for a mathematical zero like me, and shows where to put things like crit multi, lightning penetration, spell/ele/light mods etc?

Just from pure numbers condu+throatseeker could be an insane dps boost, just would like to calculate first before spending for it.

Also, just found a nice mace, base damage gets up slightly and it seems to work better with the breaking points for me.

Looks good, think I'll give it a try

Did some changes to the initial gem setup.

Added CwDT + Enduring Cry + Molten Shell as another instance of defense. I know, Molten Shell doesn't really fit the thunder theme of this build, but it just adds so much!

Also switched Crit Weakness to Conductivity. This curse is really evil, i was able to 1-hit lunaris kole, but the downside is the lower crit chance this build got now.
Still leveling condu and got my crit weakness with me to do more testing.

thank you so much for this Build i play it since 3 days and it works very well.

its a different play styl like my level 83 Spectral Throw but it works very well.
