Isn't Invalesco's other Ign Nagarashi?

Anyone know what happens to Lighting Strike after patch?

Mine used to do less DPS then DOouble Strike now it does like 1.5k more

I went from buffed LS dmg of 9.4k to 10.6k without changing anything. Well only patch changed.

Patch doesnt even mention LS. I would of assumed my double would now do 1k more dmg then LS but its the other way around lol...

Mine went up too... My 5L Lightning Strike was a few hundred under Double Strike 4L and Flicker 4L. Now it's higher than both, haha.

Haha, I'm not Invalesco. The entire build idea and everything around it is courtesy of Inva, I'm only executing his ideas :)

Edit: My LS damage also seems a lot higher. Even took out some dps nodes for HP ones and my LS is suddenly over 10K while it was at 8.9k WITH 2 extra dps nodes. crazy

Hey all, really i'm posting here for seeking motivation cause i'm doing pretty crappy. i deal decent damage, but i can't solo level 66 maps. This is my gear



in place of culling, rarity and quantity gem, i have faster attacks, melee damage and increase crit damage. i was just running a map with mates at the time. i only have 3k hp my res is all maxed except chaos, i just can't solo on end game maps even with warlords mark and blood rage, the life leech doesnt support fast enough or i just get chunked to death. i'm a level 76 who can't solo a 66 map it's highly depressing lol. My gear's not great but still.. don't think i should be having this much difficulty on a supposedly late game build :P

any advice?

Your chest is very crappy for a lvl76, you should replace that horrible thing immediately. Another thing is your gems and links. You are also wearing A LOT of ES gear, I can't imagine you having high enough armor at all, you should have at least one more pure armor piece (chestplate for example). As far as I can see, you're also still rocking negative chaos resists.

Flicker - Bear Trap - Anger - Added Lightning? Makes no sense at all.

Added fire damage attached to skeletons makes it cost a lot more for no benefit. The entire reason of the skeletons is to create a diversion against mainly flicker striking mobs, it's already a high manacost skill and you just made it cost even more. Also, at lvl76 I don't feel like you should be needing skelly brototem on your gear anymore, at best you can keep it on your weapon slot just in case.

For the best possible result, I'd advise you to do things this way;

1. Get a new chest, either an Astral Plate or a higher pure armor piece if you don't need implicit resists. Get a 5L, it's not that hard anymore to get one, it's not necessary but it helps.
2. Shuffle your links around and follow the guidelines of Invalesco. It's not set in stone but it will help you a lot into overcoming maps.
3. Not sure about your flasks but you should at least use one Granite (Surgeon's Granite Flask of Iron Skin).
4. Perhaps alter your playstyle, I have no problem soloing maps (I'm lvl79), and I've done magic and rare maps up to lvl72 (solo and in group). I'm not saying I have an easy time, you're a melee, you'll never have it as easy as a ranged but I can clear it fairly well. I'm barely have 3k hp and I run 1 or 2 auras on blood magic so 2.5 to 2.7k usually.

Yeah i'm currently working on a better chest atm, but the es helps alot in letting me run my auras, haste vit and wrath hatred anger. With that low life don't you get chunked massively? the gems are just there as fillers cause i have nothing better to put in those sockets atm.

Im selling my old dagger, if someone need
