[2.0][106 - 285k DPS] Lucinda's Shockwave Totem | Atziri/Uber Viable | Budget Version Available

http://tinyurl.com/q6fwoo2

You can ignore the strength nodes if you have enough

-Way more damage than I was expecting but need to do some work on survivability now that the CWDT setup and life regen are pretty much dead
- I am now running discipline to go with EB instead of clarity (requires lv3 Enlighten)

Aura's + 9 Charges + Inc Aoe (Ideal Mapping setup)

Aura's + 9 Charges + Conc Effect (Atziri Stuff)

Tree
- Not too much has changed, but the changes are mostly in our favor. It seems to take more nodes (1 extra per) to get power charges now. On the plus side though, we now have the Shaman's Dominion cluster that provides some sweet benefits like totem crit chance/multi and the notable that gives you 100% totem crit chance for the first 4 seconds after dropping a totem (REALLY GOOD FOR US!). I currently have 2 variations to test out, one with the new EB using ES for mana, and the other just pure mana with more mana regen and possibly a small blood magic reserve (300-ish life). I will not include my tree yet as it will need some final tweaks on release day.

Jewels
- My current testing build has 3 jewel sockets allocated with provision for a 4th depending on how the mana changes affect the flow of play (may spec into some ES regen or something). For jewels, I would most likely be going with Physical Damage, Max Life, Area Damage etc. None of the unique jewels really seem to be a big addition for us so I will most likely stick with only rares.

Gems
So many new gem combinations to try out (especially with all the new ice supports).

- Ice Bite: Gives a frenzy charge on killing frozen enemies which will give us a nice DPS boost
- Hypothermia: Gives more damage against chilled enemies which will work better for those who do less DPS
- Innervate: Gives Onslaught on killing shocked enemies + even more shock chance. (5 seconds of 20% cast speed on kill)
- Flame Golem: Gives 15% increased Damage
- Ice Golem: Gives 20% increased Crit Chance
- Arctic Armor: Gives Phys + Fire Damage reduction (A possibility now that we are unlikely to need/use clarity)

Gear
- Not many changes here. The addition of the Empires Grasp unique may be interesting to some who would like to have reversed knock-back direction (pretty much creating black hole totems). I will not be using them as I don't think they offer much to a high damage SWT (in fact you will lose crit chance/crit multi - depending on what gloves you are using currently).

Other Notes
- With the changes to Eldritch Battery, there may be some little adjustments to the play style. I will be sure to check out what works best in my opinion and will also look forward to what you guys will be able to come up with.

All in all though, I think this build is one of those that can embrace the new changes and actually benefit for the most part.

- Easy to play
- High DPS (both Single & AoE)
- Relatively fast clear speed (carry 6-man parties)
- Can Kill Atziri (And Uber with good gear)
- Many possible build variations
- Permanent Vaal Haste (due to fast clear)
- Decent protection from damage with shockwaves
- Getting some love on 2.0

- Not tanky (this is one of those best defence is a good offence situations)
- Map mods like Blood Magic, No Regen & Elemental reflect can be a pain
- Sometimes requires you to play cautiously (No yolo joyrides in Devourer town)

OAK-Normal-(Life: It's pretty straight forward - we need this stuff)
OAK-Cruel-(Physical Damage: Did I hear someone say DPS??... no?.. okay.. take it anyway)
ALIRA-Merciless-(+1 Power Charge: If you love power, then get charged up with Alira's +1 Power Charge baby)

Void Batteries


These wands are beautiful. +1 to power charges, Mana, Crit Chance, Cast Speed, 25% increased spell damage per power charge (270% combined increase from both at 9 charges)

Carcass Jack


Es, Life, All resists, Increased AoE, Area Damage (yes to all)

Romira's Banquet


Mana, Crit chance, Crit Multi, Power Charge on Non-Critical Strike. This interaction allows you to generate power charges that your totems benefit from, and allows you not to lose them (as your totems are the ones doing the crits and not you)

Facebreakers



Really just for the %60 Crit Multi (a real beast). As the rest of the gloves do not matter, you can get these really cheaply and corrupt the cast speed without breaking the bank.

Maligaro's Virtuosity (Legacy)



Not quite as good as Facebreakers in the Crit Multi department but offers both Crit Chance and Dex to make up for it. A perfect roll will net you only a 10% reduction in Crit Multi in exchange for all the bonuses. #Worth

Belt



Resists, Life & ES. Corrupt Increased AoE if you like to live life dangerously

Diamond Ring



DEX (you need dis), Cast Speed, Crit, Life

Amulet



Spell damage, cast speed, crit chance, crit multi, es/mana if you can


Boots


Life, Resists, Move Speed, ES

Helmet


Life, Resists, ES

- Why Facebreakers?: Cheap access to 60% Increased Global Crit Multiplier & Cast Speed Corruption. The only thing that comes close would be Legacy Maligaro's and I do not have the balls to corrupt those (Nor do I have a pair actually... of Maligaro's, not balls... I have those).

- Why Incinterate?: It works well with Romira's Banquet for gaining power charges. Incinerate has a 0% bas critical strike chance and is only likely to crit on mobs cursed with Assassins Mark. (TLDR: Charges for days)

- Empires Grasp in 2.0?: It's an option, but I don't think I would be willing to give up crit multi for reverse knockback though.
