2.3 Fakener (budget fake Mjölner) build - Trickster Version

I’ve been using lightning warp + faster casting + reduced duration for mobility for like ever. So much so that they’re like 10m xp from being 20/20.

On a CI CoC discharger this worked really well, but I’m seeing this build as a much faster clearspeed and a much safer alternetive. Maybe I’ll muster up the courage to go life-based.

I'm leveling up with this setup:


Super fun so far, cant wait to go for the discharge. One thing- I'm having a blast with Herald of Thunder.. it's really helping me out a lot. If I wanted to keep that with this build, would I need to avoid Elemental Equilibrium? What would I go for instead?

Being Level 78 now on Torment with this quite decent Gear, i guess :



Overall i gotta say, 5l is needed in my Opinion, had a hard time leveling without.
I feel like im forced to run Lifeleech with a 5l, even with my 2% Lightleech its not enough at this Stage.
You can pretty much feel what this Build can become with Levels and even better Gear.
Damage overall is still just insane and your Clearspeed is hilarious.


I leveld with Flameblast/Arc in a 4l which just turned out fine.
Respecced at 64/65 i guess.

Wouldn't the travel time of ice Nova mess up elemental equilibrium? For example, the Discharge and the ice nova go off at the same time, the discharge hits the mob first due to the slow travel time of ice nova. This procs Ele equilibrium, making the mob light resistant.

I think the best way to get EE benefits is to use frenzy charges, but cold snap or herald of ice could work just as well.
Now… a real upgrade to this build would be to branch into low life. Even if it only means two more aurae, the benefits blood rage provides on low life are staggering. It’s just too bad there aren’t enough skill points to get pain attunement.

In fact, I wonder if this tree would work given there is Shavs and enough mana regen on gear.

Would it be of importance to get Saffell's legacy over the nerfed version?

My dagger has add 29-54 cold damage, i don´t use EE (waste of nodes), so, which gem would be better as a 6L blue socket?

-cold snap
-ice spear
-light. penetration
-add light. dmg
-fireball

I’d go with added chaos damage because it cannot be reflected. Lightning penetration, however, should land you the most DPS.

Need some gear/gem/build suggestions. Dying a lot, and can't beat Dom cruel at lvl53. The gear I have is just to level me enough til I can go for discharge and get a decent volls, but if I can't level I wont get there :P Here's my gear:


Suggestions on how to get this char into better shape?

Mind linking your current passive tree for us? I just hit lvl 64 following this build as best I could and I focused my passive specs on health and survival keystones first. Static strike carried me all the way until I got a Voll's fairly early, and I think I was running a 4L cyclone/coc/discharge/bloodmagic in it around lvl 50. It was hard to sustain hp with a blood magic gem, but I figured once I got more crit it would make up for the hp issues, and it did. Now I can run cyclone full time and it doesn't kill me, crit chance on cyclone is 57.7% currently. You just need to get as much hp/crit chance on the tree as you can, and then cap your resistances on gear. I ran Purity of Elements to cap mine for awhile, mixed with grace, and everything else on blood magic.
