FoxTactic's - [1.2] Pledge Of Arc 26k dps Updated: 2014-09-08

Why does no one take Cruel Preparation in the tree?
It's a no-brainer to take it instead of - let's say - Hired Killer.

Well, didn't want to test anything new. Decided to stick with Fox's build and this is what I got so far. I followed everything, just decided to grab the nodes up top.

I've started a witch planning to use arc and i messe up with tree..im using respec point from quest to fix it..atm im lvl 47: 1838 hp, 689 ES, 1100 arc dps, 75 fire res, 34 cold, 70 light.
Im in act 3 cruel and im never dead...considering also to grab too the light dmg nodes cause i've 0 surv problems (im in rampage right now)

Whats the overall consensus on this build as of now?
Working out as great as the foxtactics build pre 1.2?

In 1 level i'll get EB and unlock MOM from ..i ll upgrade situation with that

Ok lets get one thing clear, arc isnt dead. Nowhere near it, atm im just farming docks at lvl65 with 1 moonsorrow, 4l arc\echo\fc\lightning pentration.

echo is lvl3, and i got 4200 dps

Conclusion, Everything just melts. like the good old days =). AND with the dual curse support on selfcast eleweak\conduct, rare mobs really fall flat,

if needed an extra push, throw down vaal stormcall linked with lightning pent and duration.

Have fun, ill update soon again.

Catarina is a master you really want in your hideout for this build btw.

You know the toll for visiting my build thread right? I can take that CoD off your hands =).

Thats how nice i am.

Uhmmm, I don't think this build will work well with Geofri's Crest and Dual Moonsorrow anymore, that's for sure. I feel like this is a really good idea, except we're gonna have major problems when something is immune to curses because lots of the damage will be coming from that. I can't really say though, still working on this Pledge of Hands.

-------

Don't want the wrong message gotten from this. Geofri's Crest and Dual Moonsorrow works with the old Lightning Ninja build, you'll just have a little less dps. I was referring to those items not working with the curse on hit change.
