[2.1] Voltaxic LA by ad1ce (Talisman Rank 3)

from what i see all his skills are connected to blood magic.. he is using 4 aura, (wrath (50%), HoI (25%), HoT (25%) and Artic Armor (25%)) so total is around 125% mana.. not sure if his reduce mana reserved 12% node able to handle all 4?

It is enough with Alpha's Howl.

125%*(1 - 0.12 from passives - 0.08 from howl) = 125% * 0.8 = 100% ;)


p.s. btw next league I will play with non-critical version of voltaxic build with totally different tree. Already tested it on standard and result was great! Maybe average dps is slightly lower than in crit version but it has much more survivability and more damage to the really big pack of mobs :) Anyway I really like it! And I will share it when I've got lvl 100 or RIP ;D

Will you update the guide when subclasses will be presented? A lot of people will be lost (me included) when they will change the tree+ it can happen that build will no longer be viable after the changes to mobs...so would love to know before we spend points in new version:)

no, i think it would be another guide with another thread. Cause its really different. Different defence, different links, different playstyle, uniques... only howl and voltaxic stay same :D So i think it will be another build.

p.s. idk what to do with subclasses. Planned some critical elemental build with start from templar and choose his ignore elemental resistances when crit :D

Hey, I've been theorycrafting a Voltaxic build for the HC talisman league (yes, I know the new patch will probably change things but I wanted to make a framework on which to accommodate the tree rework), and I was wondering if you could give some input on what I have? Mostly as to whether you think its viable in a HC setting, I did drop AA as well as a little life. (I have a final total of 208%)



I took the life regen nodes at the scion start so I'd have enough regen to not tick down from blood rage at all, I also planned to get an intuitive leap and socket it by Heartseeker which would let me pick up Acuity, Survivalist, and Fervor for three points. This tree has a little more damage then the ranger start except for the fact that it drops a lot of dex where you would usually put a static electricity jewel, so I was kinda curious how much damage static electricity adds in comparison to a decent regular jewel?

I've seen this done before, but I don't know if it's worth it. The extra cold resist is nice, but you miss out on the increased evasion per frenzy charge node (ok, the Survivalist bonus makes up for it) and spend 6 points total. Instead, you could spend 4 points, ignore Acuity and Survivalist, and get a bigger damage bonus (Static Strike or a nice jewel), then spend the extra two points on life nodes or even more damage.

Yeah I think I'll drop it and actually pick up charisma so I can aurify am enfeeble curse and then maybe end up running arrow dancing depending on how large the aoe is, since enfeeble aura would cancel out the downside of it. Thoughts? It'd almost be best to have a small aoe on it so I could still run a coh setup with ass mark for power charges though.

DO you think that going more dps approach (Rats nest+ legacy maligaros) with going for nodes with more ctir chance etc and drop some hp is a good idea ?
Im thinking about droping IC and CWDT for Vaal Grace and haste too
Im talking about standard on lvl 91-93.
Would love to hear what you think about this.
