[2.2] Hyaon's Fury Lightning Strike / ST || 85k DPS + Light Pen, Budget, Insane Defences, HC Viable

I switched added lightning with faster attacks and my damage went up a little bit. It's also way more fun to play now, thanks for the tips! I'm only doing 20k dps with frenzy charges but I still have to get lots of damage nodes in the shadow area. My gear is also not very good because I'm a new player on talisman and I didn't have a lot of currency when I started this build.

Ah nice, 20k dps is not bad and your DPS will improve a lot as you progress and your gear/gem leves improves.

Keep up the great work and have fun!

Hey Everyone,

Sadly I have to take a break from Path of Exile again. Therefore, I won't be able to respond to any questions regarding the build for a while :(

I am really thankful to everyone who has played and enjoyed this build, especially to the people who have taken the time to post up their items and stats.

If anyone has any questions regarding the build (that I haven't discussed in my guide), most of them should be answered in the previous 10 pages, so read through that to see if it answers any of your questions. Otherwise, you can always message someone who has played this build previously.

Thanks again, and have a nice day!

Here's my terrible gear at level 79. 28612 tooltip without charges, 3141 life, 1379 ES. I'm getting 21% IAS, 14% lightning damage and +2 ES on hit from jewels, plus a careful planning. It's fun til something actually threatening shows up and leaves me stranded with no ES. Been running a lot of t8 maps.

I'm sorely tempted to find 5 points to respec out of and pick up Alchemist. I ran it for a while leveling and it's really, really good.

Forget LS, FB and ST, just use Reave and stick a Vaal Reave somewhere. With no aoe investment it outranges ST and has none of the annoying issues LS and FB have. Tooltip dps is similar to FB.

updated for 2.2

2.2 update for templar?
Or is the shadow better choice for 2.2?

@Rizar

After thinking through, I think the Shadow Ascendancy classes are more suited for this build (namely the trickster). So I would recommend switching to shadow over templar.

So does that mean my templar will be parked or respecced since it's better to be shadow ? :(

@Aducan21

I think you can still go Templar and follow Inquisitor.
