Edit: Thinking about it I don't know if I will be able to get a 5 off shavs, lol


5-off shavs is definitely doable, just expensive. If you don't want to risk dropping 20-30 ex or so in chroms, you could always try to trade your shavs + some currency for the 5-off that you need; there's a decent amount of 5-off shavs available in standard.

I actually had to do the reverse... trade my 5-off that I got by accident for a 4-off because my luck was so abysmal.

hi,

Meanwhile i collect money for my shav´s i´m using a 6L Solarica, well atm i can´t put my RF because i don´t have a Shav´s moonstone ring, so i have decided change Curse on hit and E.Weakness for Add light. dmg and Ligh, penetration, that´s cool!

Linking added lightning damage and elemental weakness to Lightning Strike isn't going to do anything, because lightning strike (and/or molten strike) are not the main sources of damage for the build.

If you don't have a shavronne's revelation, you will get more mileage out of my variant of the build since it gets most of its damage from the passive tree.

So...better link ELEM. PROLIFERATION and ADD CHAOS DAMAGE for example? or better EL. PROLIFERATION and CONC.EFFECT?

And if i put in another socket TEMPEST SHIELD....¿more spell dmg?

IMO you'd be better off putting auras in your 6L and running lightning/molten strike as a 4L since they just don't benefit much from other links than curse on hit, really.

If I were going to use the chest for molten/lightning strike, but not use curse on hit, I would try this:

Lightning Strike
Molten Strike
Faster Attacks
Multistrike
Greater Multiple Projectiles
Lesser Multiple Projectiles

That would add even more projectiles to your attacks, allowing even more triggers of arc/discharge, and having lightning strike and molten strike both slotted all the time would allow you greater flexibility in how you attack mobs (you wouldn't have to manually swap in the molten strike gem for single target DPS).

An alternative idea would be to get some MF (this may be more useful for you since you're saving up for a large purchase):
Lightning/Molten Strike
Multistrike
Fast attacks
GMP
Culling Strike
IIR/IIQ gem

I'm not sure you'd want GMP + LMP would you? I notice quite often that my power charges get to 3, so wouldn't adding LMP just mean they go off more often for less damage? I think in the end it would be the same wouldn't it?

I think for solaris users, a 5L is ideal. Just add molten strike as the 5th gem and it makes playing a lot smoother.

The damage reduction from LMP/GMP does not apply to Arc/Discharge, which is the source of 99% of the DPS for this build, so combining them wouldn't do anything harmful to the DPS. It would be a bit silly with Lightning Strike and not all that useful, but it would be a slight buff to Molten Strike since you'd get even more projectiles flying around to proc Mjolner.

The more I think about it, though, the more I think that culling strike + iir/iiq would be the better 6L option in a Solaris.

Yeah, I just saw his gear thread and he had ES gloves, not meginords. I'm not sure how it would be possible to go over 7K ES while wearing Meginords with either my variant or the OP (apart from super expensive 50 ex+ ES helm/boots), and I'm curious if Uber is doable around the 6K ES mark.

Thanks for the clarification about the gems - that means that my variant is about 10% weaker as far as DPS goes, apples to apples. I think my variant will still do something like 50% more DPS against overcapped bosses, though.

I'm obviously biased but I think my variant deserves a mention as an alt. option in the OP :). The biggest problem with my variant as-is is just finding appropriate rare gear. It's not necessarily super expensive stuff, just hard to find since you pretty much need an available suffix on everything to craft +STR. I paid 10 ex for this shield, 1.5 ex for the boots, 5 ex for the helm, and 20 ex for the gloves. Thought that the gloves were overpriced by about 10 ex but the boots were underpriced by about 10 ex so it evened out. Also costs a decent amount of chroms since you have to 4-off color both the helm and gloves (cost me maybe 8 ex in chroms to do both). So if you assume a Shavronne's Revelation is 25 exalts, my variant is maybe 10-30 exalts more expensive depending on your luck finding the rares and with chroming 4-off onto two of the items.

I'll see about getting some videos up. The 2% mana leech from Romira's is what enables the mana to not be an issue. Warlord's mark isn't strictly necessary for it. I cannot spam attacks in half regen maps unless I carry a mana pot, but that's it.


Yep, I am aware, that with lightning pen you're doing more damage over all. I'll see what I can do with a mention in the OP and as I already said, I do consider your version to be superior. (Albeit it is lacking movement speed & fire resi from RoTF.)

Not for maps though, there's no way in hell I'd hit LS/MS to a 10% hp mob. I'd just really go with the curse on hit + ele weak for a 6link as a 20/20 ele weak is a lot better than lvl11 ele weak from meginord's. You could also change meginord's for either normal ES gloves, or use a +1 levels meginord's for better light/fire res. Or alternatively you can put enhance+RF+BR into +1 gloves for a lot of more DPS.
I don't think IIQ / IIR gems would do much of anything linked to lightning strike would they? The amount of times culling + lightning strike actually get a kill compared to arc / discharge would be so rare it wouldn't be worth it.
