Is this belt good for molten strike?
There are also other variations like 30% increase fire damage and 1% fire damage leech as life.

if you have avatar of fire try a belt with Weapon elemental Damage.
test and see.

So, I just hit level 59 and am fine in merciless thus far (though haven't moved very far). I still have several upgrades for my planned version needed. Mainly I need to level.

~3.8K dps tooltip and obviously more for projectiles. My plan was to never increase AoE and after previous page's point blank discussion I'm glad that's been my plan. Life is only about 2.8K at the moment.
My build outlined here


Here's my current gear


current spec


Dual cursing with elemental weakness and flammability is sweet. Blind on flame totem works nice too. This is not my final gem setup on gloves. I need other rings with life and WED. There will be an ongoing balancing act with resists.

---------------
I've also been considering a lightning coil. I do have a 5L coil. Thing is I wonder if it would require purity of lightning or if 79 capped resists would be enough.

Also contemplating Ondar's Guile (since I'm not iron reflexes) but not sure I can give up 3 passives. With evasion/armor chest and shield I would have very good evasion chance....

How do I look guys?

I am running a 5L coil with 77 lightning resist (79 eventually) and have no problems. As long as you keep capped on resists PoL isn't needed.

I took all of the good passives, has a nearly perfectly rolled Doryani's, well over 180 WED, multi, +fire in the tree, attack speed, phys increase, conc effect, and Molten Strike still did only 4-5 K in damage... that is REALLY low. Really, really low in comparison to a simple sweep, cleave or double strike build.

This doesnt make sense. With the passives/gear I linked above I do well over 10k dmg (and thats tooltip -- in actuality its way higher)
And that is before the shockstacks, which are applied really fast.

/edit Double post. Sorry.

That is only your initial hit and not including your projectiles. Not sure what you are doing wrong but a build running Just an ok 1h puts up those numbers

Anyone running End game maps yet with this? Curious how its holding up, and clear speeds

We need to see your tree + links. I am putting up those numbers with a shitty 10c 250dps 1h mace. Also tooltip DPS means very little sometimes.
