[2.1] Voltaxic LA by ad1ce (Talisman Rank 3)
" My profile is open, but my Talisman league Ranger is still in leveling stage (42 lvl ATM). Since i'm leveling with Death Harp, i grabbed bow nodes first, acrobatics and turned to duelist. You can use Storm Cloud if you want to "feel" the build from early levels... Blast Rain is a magnificent leveling skill, and when used with "life gained on hit" it makes you almost unkillable. I also got Point Blank just to try it (also it's nice to kill faster at early levels). Later you'll want to unlearn it, probably. " True, on Hardcore you rush Scion's Wheel (and Marageur's life nodes) as fast as you can. And you cap resistances from very beginning. " You can get Snakebite gloves (they have HP, btw) and poison enemies, that frees one socket. GGG wrote, that "projectile" and "chaos" damage modifiers DO affect poison damage (inflicted by projectile skills). That includes "increased projectile damage" from tree and Drillneck, gems "Void Manipulation" and "Slower Projectiles", etc. With all that's, it's absolutely real to deal 75% of hit damage per second as poison (or even more), and that not counting Shock debuff... Void Manipulation will be must-have gem. As for Blast Rain, you can actually use it as "jack of all trades" skill, because it's AoE after all. Especialy good for Kaom users, since they dont have second 5-link. Arcing Blows is so-so cluster itself (for example, 2 ranger's starting nodes or Sniper notable are no worse), but since you have to waste 2 nodes to reach it, it's absolutely terrible. And you rather wanth chaos or projectile damage nodes, as they increase your poison damage as well. " I dont life going through Vaal Pact because it vastes many nodes (yes, you get Charisma, but...). I laos dont understand, why do you waste 2 points on +10 dexterity nodes when you can get "stun avoidance and movement speed"? And instead of that Chaos Damage cluster, 20% crit node and Colhearted Calculation i'd took Maradeur's life nodes. " Hungry Abyss converts life leech only, and you still need to get it somewhere (not counting 5 corrupted items). And mana leech? And -1 jewel slot? Life leech nodes were not just "turned" to work for any damage, they also were numerically buffed. With extra 3-4 nodes invested, you can forget about further need for life and mana leech....

Is using Voltaxic the only way to deal with reflect as LA?
To give some context i was messing around with supports for LA as my (phyical chain crit build got killed by the split arrow nerf)So i was using; LA-PTL-WED-GMP-Chain which was doing good work until i instantly and i mean instantly died to a reflex mob off screen one-shot 1 ms later im dead.So how is that dealt with? "Blue warrior shot the food"

Managed to get a GL Body Armor on Talisman
Now i am testing links... i still stick with SA but also tried LA but i ran into Mana Problems with LA Using SA-CHAIN-WED-AL-FA-Innervate But What would be your Links for SA and/or LA though about Added Chaos Damage or Power Charge on Critical and adding Warlord's Mark. I am using Snakebite but iam still not bought in on Poison :( |

The 2 dex nodes are for static electricity jewel, you spend 1 point for 10 flat lightning instead of 2% move speed. Coldhearted calculation is also worth it because its not only a 12% dmg node but also gives you int and the regen is nice if you run on mana. And yes you get charisma so you can use wrath+2heralds and run on mana maybe with lvl3 enlighten you can save some points here.
Marauder points are an alternative yes its just a trade off of dps vs hp you already have 190% or so life without them. |

is poison better than slower projectiles as 5th link in blast rain? consindering you need to spend 4 points to increase poisons damage wich could be used elsewhere if you'd link slower projectiles.

How are people running this on mana now as I find even with the Spirit void 3 nodes you just dont get enough leech quickly enough :S
|
|
" Theres many supports that are probably better than slower proj. Especially added lightning/faster attacks scale very well with worse gear. |
|
" running +2 mana on hit jewel plus spirit void is more than enough for me on 5-links. |
|
" would essence sap not be better then as you only lose 0.2 % leech but gain the +2 on hit naturally? |
|
" you gain 1 skillpoint if you get a jewel and get both life and mana leech at the duelist area. if you cant get a good jewel with +mana on hit go for essence sap, in fact i used it until i picked up my jewel. Last edited by shukolade#2579 on Dec 15, 2015, 4:48:32 PM
