How do you figure in the DPS added by lightning penetration when you get your 5L. I was sitting around 300 dps listed on my totem with 4L and it didnt change by adding lighting penetration support tonight when i finally fused my 5L armor. But i figured right now my curses reduce lighting resist by 91% and lightning penetration gem makes the spark totem penetrate another 27% light res so i know almost every mob my totem hits,if cursed, is most likely negative light resist.

How much does this increase the listed dps of the spark totem?


Lightning pen doesn't change the list dps at all. It's effect is variable, anywhere from doubling your damage on a max resist mob to less than the pen amount. In any case, it's definitely the best 5th link.
What would be the to get go 20% quality in order?

Spark, faster casting, elemental weakness and then? Fork, lightning penetration, critical damage or it is somehow different?

Critical Damage looks like a really good gem to get quality on, but I'm not sure.

Would your build work if I chose to use EK (respecing out of lightning damage nodes of course)? Or would it be less effective than spark?

Hey guys,

I've been following this build very closely and just wanted to see what you all thought of my gear at the moment and if possible give me some advice on where to head next. I'm currently lvl 78 and i've started picking up crit dmg/chance nodes. My next purchase is very likely to be a windscream boots and a quality faster casting shortly followed by a wand with %crit stats. I'm about 40% over cap on all resists without running purity so I have a lot of flexability in what pieces to upgrade. From memory (currently wasting time at work and not in game) my dps is around 700 (not including curse effects) with those items equipped however I usually swap out my amulet for a rare I found with 59% rarity :)



My current build is as follows,



Any feedback would be appreciated.


With your gear you should replace the spell / lighting damage nodes with crit nodes immediately. I think the way Dominion does it in his lvl 91 tree is quite good.

Next purchases:
quality faster casting
crit multiplier / chance wand
crit multiplier / chance shield
maligaro's virtuosity unique gloves.
crit jewelry

You should also consider respeccing into double curse. The DPS bonus is huge and it also provides survivability.

@glh5 I was very pleased to read this response. I just noticed that I forgot to link my gloves which are in fact 4L maligaro's. Last night (before reading this reply) I purchased an 18% faster casting and got some Windscream boots so I was pleased to read you recommended me taking that path too. I bought a VERY good wand which had 2exalt rolls left on it. I rolled them both and got base light damage and +% fire damage so I sold it to make my money back. Point being, a high crit wand and shield were my very next step. After that I will go for quality elemental weakness and from there jewelry etc.

If you look at the build I have it very much resembles Dom's. More crit chance and multi to come soon I hope.

hi there, i see you are not using the anti stun amulet

how do you cope with those rhoa skull monsters or similar?

even if i play very carefully it happens once in a while that they catch me

and stun me to death, what can i do instead of just getting insane amounts of ES? ^^

You need the stun amulet. He doesn't need it because he has 11k ES and enough damage to kill any large packs of mobs before they can stunlock him. He also can cast the totem and run like crazy with his quicksilver flasks. He probably doesn't even need the dream fragments since he can get a "of heat" granite or quicksilver. Dream fragments does have really good stats for his build though, so he probably doesn't want to get rid of it.

Anyone else here have a LA ranger also? I have a level 70 LA ranger, and a level 70 Shock totem witch. Wanting to quit one, but can't decide which. Anyone with experience can tell which character's better overall for 80+ ?

Would play which one is more fun since you gonna stick with that one for longer time if you want to develop that one char.
