I was referring to crit build that needs 5 uniques Build linked below is flexible item independent starting build. Wut? :S I didn't post any gear in the crit build... which 5 uniques are you talking about? 1H+Shield High Block&Spell Block Tank: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/868995 Ice Crash Crit Staff AKA "The Shaterring Karui": https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1289037 Tanky Block+AR+EV Ranger Crit Reave Dagger/Claw: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1301888	Posted by ComradeSerge#4604 on Aug 18, 2014, 3:11:34 PM Quote this Post

You should add in Eye of Chayula into there though! Also maybe mention Moonsorrow somewhere, pretty amazing wand that's cheap to start end-game with. Especially since BL will Blind everything.

Things like Eye of Chayula and Dream Fragments or Auxium or standard gear for every CI, how does that qualify as anything out of the ordinary? :D if you know anything about CI, you should know it's not cheap, since every CI requires these uniques (unless you get Unwavering Stance, in which case you don't need Chayula). You don't level as CI anyway. 1H+Shield High Block&Spell Block Tank: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/868995 Ice Crash Crit Staff AKA "The Shaterring Karui": https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1289037 Tanky Block+AR+EV Ranger Crit Reave Dagger/Claw: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1301888	Posted by ComradeSerge#4604 on Aug 18, 2014, 6:36:59 PM Quote this Post

Coming back to the game after a long hiatius, I'm a bit sad that I missed the prime time for arc builds. But Ball Lightning seems like a fun alternative, sticking with the lightning theme. Although clear speeds seemed a bit low before, it's getting a 30% damage buff in the coming patch.. with that in mind, do people think it'll end up being a strong (and cheap to run) build?

You don't level as CI anyway. Not every CI. Dual/triple totems users don't need any of these uniqs. Pretty sure some other builds dont't need them either. Interesting whether BL gets increased base crit or not. Last edited by SidleJinks#3016 on Aug 19, 2014, 5:34:36 AM	Posted by SidleJinks#3016 on Aug 19, 2014, 5:32:52 AM Banned Quote this Post

Main damage modifier is increase aoe and 70% is goodish then comes crit . Hell you can skip inc cast speed entirely and go for traps.

You write "BL does no AoE damage, which means that the Concentrated Effect gem, as well as the "increased area damage" passive nodes do not affect the damage of BL." Yet your setup is: 6L: BL - Spell Echo - Increased AoE - Power Charge on Critical - Lightning Penetration - Increased Critical Multiplier - did I miss something? With regards	Posted by Fathervic#3656 on Aug 19, 2014, 6:59:27 AM Quote this Post
