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

I'm doing voltaxic without snake bites, kaoms, and a few less frenzy charges. I was wondering if with lightning coil would taste of hate still be worth it with atziri? Currently I'm running taste - instant blood divine - instant freeze divine - topaz curse - quicksilver with extra mspeed. I'm kind of worried with running only 1 hp flask since there seems to be quite a few times where I need both.

To clarify that, running the jewel would only add the .4%of blooddrinker to the leech, thats how i understand it.
So not really a point unless of course getting %ele dmg corrupt on rings.

Did any of you calculate maligaro vs snakebite vs facebreaker? i am alternating and by the life of me i cannot notice any difference other than having more life with snakebite.



Hungry Abyss isnt really worth using, because it takes out a gem slot (which is worth ~3 nodes in lategame) and leech nodes also provide +5% to max leech rate which is quite good.

As for Snakebite - you actually dont need them if going for stadard LA/Blast Rain skill combo (each 5-link min). For LA, poison is absolutely useless. For Blast Rain, you can just put in Poison support gem (which provides good damage boost anyway) and dont suffer from reduced charge duration.

I think I am getting as close to being done, gear wise, as I am going to get. I spent 2 ex on bow, 1.5 ex on armor (I alched it to current stats), and probably around 2-4 ex for everything else. I can't remember. I found Rats, the belt, the talisman, and chaosed one of the rings.

My life is 3900. My gems are all low level with no quality. I almost think that Ringwald's Quills is the best quiver choice (enabling us to get rid of chain in 6-link).

While I am impressed with the build, I still think Windripper is a better mapper.

Any tips on how to finish this build? It is good but not rave-worthy so far.

I'm assuming you're not trolling so I'm going to tell you that you're not even close to completing a voltaxic character and is hardly a good voltaxic build. Your gem setup isn't nearly optimal especially on your 6 link and curse on hit, no WED on neck, no flat lightning on rings, no coil/kaoms, and with 3900 life you are not even near the point where this build excels. It is one of if not the quickest high tier clear speeds in the current meta if you don't count vaal spark on maps where it shines.

Can anyone give us a leveling guide for this build?

Been trying different bows...Death's Harp/Roth's Reach/Storm Cloud with Lightning Arrow>WED>AddedLightning>GMP and Blast Rain>Conc>WED>FA

I had an issue with mana until I put on some elreon jewelry but only 1 ring -6 and I will have to swap them out for res rings..

I am currently level 38 and I am struggling against bosses in Act 4 Normal...So was wondering if someone could give me a leveling tree and tell me which setup carried them to Merciless up until Voltaxic?

I would like to get there on a budget until I can swap to Voltaxic/Snakebites to start farming some currency to buy up Maligaro's/Rat's nest.

I decided to go down to the bottom of the tree first and I just got Fiery Bolts and the leech cluster at the bottom.

Thank you for this guide and any suggestions would be appreciate...I am playing on HC.
How are you getting the 191 strength for the Kaom's?

Try to level up with Blast Rain as main "all-around" skill (for both AoE and single). Link LGoH gem to it to recover HP VERY quickly (and i mean it). On other hand, LA cost way too much mana for early game, so dont use it till you grow up.
You may use Death's Harp or Storm Cloud. Storm Cloud is especially powerful to regain HP (due to its APS).
Dont reserve more than 50% of your mana pool until you'll be able to sustain your main skill's manacost with mana leech. You wont gain much DPS from it anyway, but recovering your mana with flasks will become a pain (if you reserve more that 50% mana). Rallying Cry also helps a lot. though you have to spam it.

If you have 5-link (or Tabula), link Blood Magic so you wont suffer from mana cost. You may reserve more than 50% mana then.

Blast Rain and LGoH are you best friends in early game - remember that.

He is using a heavy belt that gives the strength I had to find one that had 67 strength combined to get it to work.

Alternatively, you can choose another pathing (like i did), and then you'll get enough strength withyour tree.

Jeez. I did NOT say, "hey guys, check out my BIS gear." I said that this is as close as I might get to a finished character. I am merely looking for advice.
I do appreciate the criticism (as snarky and negative as it is). I will try to upgrade some of my rings and all. I don't know if a 6link coil is realistic for me.

Dark_Strand, would you please post your BIS gear so I know what to look for? I am pretty slow and would love the help. Thanks!

What do you guys think about using CoH, HoT, warlords to generate endurance charges and then using CWDT Immortal Call? Would this work for some extra survivability?
