Any thought on concentrated effect with Discharge rather than Iron Will or Arc?

concentrated effect makes aoe smaller and increases dmg by 69%
iron will give 15% spel damgage from quality on 20/20 gem plus as minumum 82% spell damage on top so a total of 97%

Iron will is FAAAR better than swapping out with conc effect

now in terms of changing out arc i wouldn't recommend it purely because you have a huge advantage in beging able to chain to out of reach mobs that are outside discharge aoe. im fairly sure you would get some hard hitting discharges and maybe on single target it would be better since you can't chain on 1 mob. again im not big on changing stuff around as tom has almost perfected this build to the fingertips.

anyway hope this answered your question.

Conc gives 69% MORE spell damage, not increased. Would that not make a difference in practice?

It would make a difference if you already had lots of increased spell damage from your tree and other items. Since you don't, it will hardly make a difference. I prefer Iron Will because it doesn't reduce the area of effect.

exactly what he said for iron will.

i'll just add that switching arc for concentrated effect is an even worst idea :
with discharge alone, it goes off with an average of 2 power charges (since 2 weapon hits are needed on average per discharge).
with arc beside discharge, you still get the 2 power charges from the 2 weapon hits necessary to cast it, but those 2 same weapon hits will also proc an arc, which will generate its own power charge, increasing the total to 3 power charges available for discharge. that's a 50% more damage right there (without taking into account arc's damage) that won't reduce the AoE of discharge.

tom94's set-up is simply the most efficient and versatile one you can get atm.

Does RF,PoF, Vitality have to be level 20 or something? my ES still degen pretty fast even with vitality/PoF up.

did my first atziri run last night. it was awesome. no deaths on first to bosses and 1 death on atziri cuz i was a n00b and hit the wrong flask. went in again and killed her. easiest build for kills ive tried so far.

LOVE how you can just use your topaz and then nuke your butt off during reflect phase.

What are you guys thoughts on running the Daresso´s Defiance full dragonscale armour on this build?

nope im running shavs, but for life based a normal rare is just fine.


besides daressos is prolly a bad choice since it can make you loose your endurance charges and thereby also dps - at least right of the top of my head i think it a bad choice.

I hope for find new low life version without snapshotting...

Its done yet. Just use passiv Blood Magic (and the -40% reserve node) with Life Gain on Hit gem.
Here is a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3sfoIMjhVY
