[2.0] non-crit ball lightning mana MoM build
|
Changes in 2.1 are mostly buffs to the build. More mana per level means more mana for MoM and ball lightning got 10% increased damage. Only nerf is less increase to aoe from passive tree
Overview: This is non crit ball lightning build for templar also possible as witch or shadow for more dps but less survivability. Build utilize Mind over Matter keystone with mana for defense paired with Warlord's mark for life leech, mana leech and endurance charges. For offense is used Ball lightning paired with Vaal storm call for occasional dps boost offence screen

 Skill tree In the spoiler below is current passive tree at level 82 (104 passives). Finishing with Devotion and Melding life clusters is recomended, than jewel slots or more mana Currently I'm using dual wands as more offensive approach, but could be made easily tankier by ditching dual wands and using shield. Then obviously drop Dark arts cluster. Pledge of hands is also viable :-) Bandits normal - Oak cruel - passive merciless - passive Passive attributes from offline planner

Hey Taudlitz,
I've recently been interested in 100% chaos damage with consuming dark and infernal mantle and using ball lightning. I would like to try this build out by using Avatar of Fire (since it is only 3 passives out of the way). What do you think about this? Thanks in advance! |

" Thats interesting idea, but as I understand how AoF works would not end well. With AoF you cannot deal non-fire damage which applies to chaos damage too. So result of this setup would be that you would deal exactly 0 damage. Last edited by Taudlitz#7803 on Aug 23, 2015, 12:59:11 PM

Looks pretty great but why not a LMP/GMP instead of add lightning damage?

" From what I can tell it's not as useful on BL because there's already AoE and the balls can't overlap anyway (shotgunning essentially). Having more dmg means you can cast and then just move to clear another spot. Try it and see if it makes a difference to you I guess. |

" Exactly this, with Carcass jack, and passive tree aoe nodes, the BL aoe is sufficient and having more single target is more important. |
