not a problem. your clear speed and clear waste of extremely powerful unique is not my problem. just wanted to help you point the reason why that build performance is so abysmal.

what you do with that - it is your choice

bye

side note: i do not miss your 'final' and 'current' trees. both are bit inefficient even for what you seem to want to do. just wonder how is that possible you got that 6L pledge of hands so early..

I agree with the fact that Nito's build isn't 100% efficient but lol get off your fucking high horse, your build isn't exactly amazing either when you have a Arc totem and Vaal Storm Call doing 40% work for you with your pitiful cast speed.

Let Nito make his build thread and stop trying to highjack it with your mediocre build.

you seem to be a very nice person (ill let support decide what to do with insults)

as for my 'hijack' - it was my genuine concern + stating probable reason of inadequate performance. read my previous posts. do you have a problem with that?

and.. last time i checked combining skills that synergize well was called 'smart' or 'a skill'. something had changed?

btw Arc hardly kills anything unless it crits and even then it is very low dps addition - it is for shocks. just like in ALL successful Arc builds. Storm Call solves the 'single target' problem for me. since when it is wrong? it works. despite my 'cast speed' (that as one can see doesnt help even when used in 7Link if used unoptimally) i clear fast enough. so what was your point again?

The point is, you're coming off as a bit of a prick. i appreciate your concern, and have responded to those concerns. Now move on, there's nothing more to talk about, I'll conduct my build guide, and if it bothers you so much, you can make your own. :)

Moving on, i'll be revising the OP, trimming some fat, and adding some insight pertaining to the unique items and their interacts with the build section.

U can use items like that for more leeching and cs, if u can find.

Hi

I've been using a Templar MoM 4 link shiny Lightning Balls since level 1, now level 77 and still going nicely. I use a different combo though, a powerful double curse setup (Temporal Chains + Conductivity) combined with the classic Arc Totem for ele prolif and extra shocks.

Doing nice clear speed so far, having only two quality gems (Added Lightning Damage 6% and Slow Proj 12%), and highest gem level being level 17. Lightning Balls is still level 15, supported by Slower Projectiles, Increased AoE and I just switched Added Lightning for Spell Echo.

Replacing Added Lightning by Spell Echo was a game changing, it has doubled my clear speed, which was already good, so definitely something to keep in mind for this spell. Still hoping for a 5 link to add Knockback (that sounds like fun) or Life Leech if needed, or even putting back the Added Lightning. I can now fire once or twice and destroy a group instead of having to fire a bit more to cover more area, and I'm not being hit very often.

I'm surprised you are not using a third aura, maybe you could add a purity for defense, or maybe haste or extra damage once you've got a bit more mana. I went for a few mana cost/reserved to lower my need for mana and can run three auras + AA and still got about a hundred mana regen. Got a small amount of mana available though, around 500/600.

Anyway, can't wait for 5 linking my Cloak, but still not happening after 60 fusings even it's a 6S. :(

My lack of luck in this game is just astonishing...

Alright, after about 80 fus I finally 5 linked my CoD.

Here is a video of Moutain Ledge with my BL + SE + IAoE + SP + ALD, not very concentrated and not using flasks appropriately at all. Keep in mind that my highest gem is level 17 and only got (low) quality on slow proj and added lightning.

Still a lot of fun, can't wait for the gems to level up and see what kind of damage I'll be doing with quality or level 20 gems.

I'm still playing around with the totem, not sure what to use, and will probably experiment a few more supports for BL. Probably Lightning Pen or Chaos Dam if not Knockback.

Ignore added chaos if youve got passive tree with lots of lightning%

I got my baller to 85 (not 95.. tthat was a typo) and that was the easiest fastest and funniest experience. Build is somewhere in this section.

103% inc aoe. Some cast speed.

Bl
Knockback (this makes it sooooo easy to not die)
Lightning pen
Added lightning (for longer shocks)
Inc aoe (aoe IS this skill)

Spell echo shall go for that 6th link/pledge of hands but xurrently rmters keep all these staves..

I don't have a lot of lightning, I think just Shock. Going there ^^

I got to say, Knockback is a ton of fun and fits very well with this skill. If you really have trouble staying alive, Life Leech is extremely reliable, and if going for damage, I really like the Added Lightning with quality and Echo/Faster Cast/both for the uzi rafales.

Nice build, also man, nice to see you went 95 ! This is certainely a nice skill with some good combos possible, but I really think multiple projectiles (or maybe in a 6L) don't fit very well with these sparkly balls ^^

I'm still only level 72, but I'm really enjoying this build! My gear is pretty sub-par and I only have a little less than 3k life, but the life leech is insane when you hit a whole mob with your orbs.

I agree with the knockback, I don't have the gem (or the links for it) yet, but whenever I find a Brutal shrine, life is SO much easier. And speaking of shrines, an Echoing shrine stacks with Spell Echo, for extra spammage! ^^

Have you taken a look at the supposed new skill tree? It doesn't look like the build will need a lot of changes, and since Ball Lightning is supposed to have been buffed... I'm pretty excited for that patch!

Will this viable in 1.2? If yes do you plan to refresh the main post and the tree?

At the moment (91 skill points to use) I'm thinking of doing something like that:



Still 7 points away from Inner Force though, and I haven't even touched a single (pure) cast speed node yet. Well, neither did I before the patch anyway.
