A crit dagger gives about 80+90 crit chance = 170%

Divinarius gives 40+~90 = 130%

This wand gives 60+50(power charge) = 110%

So, not too bad. You can still get effectively 100% crit chance with discharge, for instance, with two wands. Not to mention much more damage from the charges themselves.

Very good points raised.

I guess the challenge of making this build viable would be to be able to keep up the Power Charges consistently.

For in the initial stages of racking up those charges, you would be getting 80% Reduced Spell Damage and also way lesser chances to crit/permafrost.

For Volls discharge builds, I would argue a 170 critical dagger still might be more useful:

The goal is to always crit [...]

In the case of Discharge, you just spam spark to rack up the charges. For other skills it would be a penalty to start, yes, but maybe 2-3 casts maximum before you net positive.

The power charge gem is much slower than Voll's, but is still viable.

If you are CI discharge, you don't need to always crit. Blood Rage allows you to get a frenzy charge on kill, so even if it goes off and somehow doesn't crit, if you kill one monster, you can use discharge again and start the chain back up.

Awesome creation Zand.

I think you have just increased the market value of Volls with this beauty.

Thank you. :)

If you're CI and using Voll's..... Good luck.

i am ci/discharge with volls no problem. Before volls reserved 50% mana now instead it just takes it out completely leaving you with half mana. granted i only use 2 auras purity and disipline, but i am able to sustain discharge enduring cry no problem. its a very viable build, i am still working on the survivability of it, but you dont need to really be tanky when you can wipe full screens at a time with one spell.
