Thank you. Interesting you think that putting another active instead of buffing up discharge is more worth it. But I have 0 experience with this kind of build so, yeah :P

What kind of dps can I expect with it, and does it clear maps decently on its own?

The firestorm is not just there for the damage, it's also (or even more) there for generating power charges for you when it crits. When you fight a single boss, that's incredibly helpful - firestorm hits 20 times in two seconds. And because of that it is a damage buff for discharge.

You can clear maps decently on your own, each charge gives you around 1k dps (depending on your gear of course), but it's hard to predict the dps with it. Let's just say it's easily enough to clear maps.

Edit: Just to do a little bit of math here, when you have a crit chance of 70% and you attack four times a second, on average you discharge twice per second. And on average you have 1.3 power charges up when you do. When you also proc firestorm, that firestorm hits five times (again on average) before your next discharge and assuming it has a crit chance of something like 55%, those five impacts between your discharges give you an extra 2.7 power charges. So instead of discharging with 1.3 charges you do so with 4 charges. And that is 200% MORE damage for zero mana multiplier. MUCH better than anything else you could link

Great build, great clear speed, i always wanted to play coc discharge without volls ammy - and now i am ;)

Now i have big problem with chaos damage, 'cos of less then 2k hp and ghost reaver. I'm trying to boost chaos res, but with -10% every degen kills me easily. What im supposed to do, bring 4 panicked/seething flask and pray? ;/

still confused on all your " gear " spoilers wich of them is the one to go for end-game?! and what is updated and what is not, almost none of your items have realy a full gem link setup.. and its also different from your youtube clips then what is linked in the guide.

PSA: discharge triple dips on crit multiplier to fire, lightning and cold skills, and you can get some sweet budget jewels with those modifiers on them that people don't think are worth anything.

How important is the Vagan dagger?

The price on those daggers has shot through the roof. I'm noticing Facebreaker has gone up in price too, it seems. My next upgrade will pretty much empty what chaos I have left after getting the 5L Voll's and all that. I'm currently using Ungil's Gauche and having no problem with accuracy at the moment (87% hit rate, I believe). Facebreaker would be a huge damage increase, but Vagan dagger is...well, a Vagan dagger. There's always the chance that I rip the dagger on the augment/regal as well, and wouldn't be able to replace it for a while. I'd also probably end up with a pretty crappy base, as the good base daggers are starting to get out of price range.

Have to disagree with Vortex choice mathil. You're only spitting a few blades out and Discharge is doing all the real DPS. Seems like BV is a curiosity in this build. OTOH ice nova + EE would have discharge doing a boat load more DPS.

Chaos should be no problem.

Vertex and get chaos res on boots and belt. that will put you in positive territory which is really healthy number since chaos doesnt hit *that* hard.

BV isnt their for DPS with some blades up you get instant max charges when you touch a mob. Your discharge constantly crits with max or almost max charges. No way ice nova EE would out-dps this setup.

The dagger and discharge gives you max charges first mob you encounter. No need for blades. Pull em out and see.

Not against single bosses where this setup really shines through.
