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

Don't know why people keep talking about slower proj its not like theres a lack of supports. Just use conc effect/void manip/crit damage/faster attacks/wed for blast rain and its fine. Added lightning seems underrated in these posts but you need base damage to scale up with all these multipliers.

Can someone clarify for me how Blast rain works?
So i got lets say 40k dps on Blast Rain on my chart - blast rain splits into 4 projectiles each of them dealing 40k ? Can i hit same mob with all of them?

Just multiply Blast Rain's DPS by 4, and you'll get realistic number. It not just "can" hit the same target 4 times, but it WILL hit it if targeted on.

Concenrated effect decreases AoE which isnt allowable for packs. Also, it doesnt work for Tornado and LA.
Void Manipulation is must-have, already told that.
Crit damage is a BAD support, actually. DPS-wise it's just around 24% more damage (with proper gear), and it's highly spiky (because dealt on crits only), which is BAD for pack clearing.
Faster attacks is must-have too, probably.
WED is absolute musthave gem.
Added lightning is also musthave - how else you get that base damage?

So it have better single target dps than Frenzy with all frenzy charges it seems and even better then tornado shot- quess its the new way to go for single target:)

atm on my voltaxic I have WED - LA - FA - GMP

When I 5 link which would be better Added Lightning Damage or Void Manipulation ?

I use innervate for lower maps and added lightning for the rest. void manipulation could be worth it but i have a significant amount of fire/cold damage on gear and i would have to chrom my voltaxic.

Also, swap FA for chain imo.

Indeed. However, against moving target it will "miss". And it doesnt gain frenzy charges.

I was talking about blast rain for SINGLE target. Conc effect and crit dmg with poison is very good for kiting bosses.

@Aggnog: playing Talisman too atm. and releveled a ranger, because casters suck atm.
Following my gear atm.:


Your gear (especially jewlery) is pretty insane for the short time of this league.
I have a LC ready, but I need to 6 socket and link it, so I use tabula so long.
With my gear atm. lighres is enough to have 75 all res. with LC.
Question is: what should I focus on now?
I'd like to have WED rings, but theres no good rings/affordable ones atm. (prices are ridic. for shitty jewlery...).

my tree atm.

Sadly I need the INT node, maybe can respec it later.
Essence SAP solves all my mana issues running the 6L in the tabula (respecing that later when I have a 5L LC).
Sitting at 3,7K HP with tabula @lvl 69.

Any tips on what to focus on next?
Damage is good atm. (7,7K LA with all frenzy and powercharges up).

There are better supports than ICD for 6-link (WED, ALD, Poison, CE, VM). If you poison via Snakebite, add FA or SP. Why do you want to use suboptimal gem instead?
