FoxTactics "Lightning Ninja" Arc build 18k+ : No update for 1.2

updated 1.2

The 3 points in shadow 10% elemental damage nodes are better spent above the witch area at Lightning Weaver nodes imo. It comes back to 8% dmg + 2% cast speed versus 10% dmg.

How come you don't spec the 2 Static Blows for the 20 percent inc shock chance and duration. Not needed I guess?

Can u roll weapon with +2 lighting gems prefix just with alternations? I wanna start new fresh char in ambush and level it by putting arc in 3 link +2, but i am not sure if i can get that kind of prefix on low level weapon.

how about for single target dmg?

people telling me not to do this build cuz its bad for single target.

(like i guess when u want to farm piety or dominus)

Hi!

I was running Cood's Dual Arc totem build for a bit until he ripped his char and stopped updating. Now I'm kinda taking info from both his guide and this one. I've removed all the crit used in his build as Arc's crit chance is awful. I still wanna remain as dual totem as I'm going to use this for MF.

Got a question or two relating to my skill tree. Here's where I'm at currently:


I think my next goal would be to finish the Shamanistic Fury nodes above Templar. I put the first point in before I left for work today. They should give a lot of DPS to the Totems, after those I'm thinking Lightning Weaver as I see it's better than the three Elemental Damage nodes by Shadow. Then, if I make it that far, go for the Harrier/cast speed nodes above, but I'm not too sure on that simply because of how many points it is.

Other nodes:
Static Blow - Is it worth going for? Can't say I really noticed it when I was specced into it around 30 levels ago.

Sovereignty/Inner Force - Are these gonna really be needed as I'm using Totems to take the damage instead of my character? If it's not worth taking I could also spec out of Influence and save 4 more points.

Elemental Adaption - I think I will skip this one. If I'm in MF gear I'll probably have bad resists. If I ever afford 2x Andvarius, that's -40 to each resist right there.

Maybe someone has a ready made dual arc totem tree made, or can make suggestions for more/less points. Could always strip life from me, but I already run around with just under 2k in 66-67 maps. :P

Also here's my gear, need to make gem set-ups for gloves/boots. Think it'd be better to run a BBBBR(G) of the extra totem cloak over the Geofri's? Could make a BBBR helmet for auras then.



EDIT: Something I just thought of. Does cast speed affect the speed the totems cast Arc, or is it just the speed you take to place the totem?

You are correct, i just recently removed the lightning weaver node, and didnt think about the ele ones in shadow tree, ill update this.

hi there, watched your stream and am a huge fan of the build.

I really like my builds tanky though and had an incinerator with (although way more defensive) a similar tree.

Clicky

I am using a Rathpith and a Stone of Spellblock, which buffs the spellblock to almost capped (can be capped with a 4% Vaaled Stone - I sold mine though cause i need currency :D )

Maybe this can even be done in HC - although one might want to go inner Force (i cant afford more than a lvl 20 AA atm - manawise)

with some tweaking (i cant try it out right now) i may be able to add the aura nodes in there.

any thoughts on that?

I assume you use rainbow stride also ?

What would you buy first for hardcore:
Rathpith or mind over matter armor ?

How much life do you have?

What kills you?

Thoughts on tempest shield for more block or which links will be good ?

Very good build!
Now I'm lv75 with +2 empower and lv17 ARC, the DPS is 5.7k more.
Mana reg is 350+, enough to spend the lv16 AA.
thanks for this two rings:


I use rainbow boot, for much ES and RES, also 20% run speed.
The CWDT is linked with EC+IC+Frost wall.The frost wall should be knockback monsters,It's so good!

Now with 5.7k dps to clean lv75 map is easy, only hard to vs Dominus, his attack let blood losting so fast, and his RES is to high. I think I can easily to kill him when my ARC is level 18.
But dont forger this: this build is so cheap!
Thanks for your build and share!

MoM, is so underrated imo. It takes 40% of any dmg and puts it on mana instead, get a huge mana pool and sick reg and just watch those spells wash over you, combine this with a high lvl AA and you pretty much get immune to small arms fire, and take very little dmg from spells.

Wait, what?

I thought that the this would not stack with the one from the passive tree.
Or i'm totaly wrong here?

The Mind Over Matter mod has the same effect as the keystone, Mind over Matter. Taking the keystone in addition to equipping this armour will impart no additional benefit.
