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

@g0aky

I think ls is still the way to go.

@U_Ice

Sadly, I don't think Templar is efficient anymore. But it's still possible. Go Inquisitor and take Take Sanctify, Pious Path and Augury of Penitence. The passive skill tree is the same as shadow, just swap out the starting nodes.

@Senenleigh360

Ah interesting.. that's pretty cool to know.

I have made 2 other build guides for ascendancy for those who want to check them out!

What are your thoughts on using Walk the Aether as opposed to Swift Killer and picking up a pair of Blood Dance boots instead? It allows you to put your whirling blades setup to a 3L by dropping BM. I'm not too sure, but I assume the extra frenzy charge will technically be more damage than the inc 20% AS from Swift Killer, but at this point isn't this build already pretty front-loaded on damage?

@Vuewe

Yeah honestly it's your choice, we are running Blood dance already so we do have a reliable way of generating frenzy charges. Both Swift Killer and Walk the Aether are nice passives.

Hi, Firstly I would like to thank you for this build, this makes my history alive again :D The secondly, I want to ask about the curse on hit. I have read the change of this gem that you need to link it with other attack skill gem and use that skill to hit to make the curse work. But I saw in your gear that you just link the herald of thunder with curse on hit and 1 curse skill. How can it work?

Thanks

@shinhajoon

Herald of thunder works with curse on hit. So the herald of thunder is like an attack, it creates lightning around you which then curses enemies. It's hard to explain so you will probaby just have to try it and see for yourself.

Hello guys, i follow this build (lighting strike variant) and i like it a lot but i want to ask, its possible to use anything else than Lighting Coil Desert Brigantine chest ? i have some trouble when i use this chest piece, actually i am running lvl 3 maps and im lvl 73, thank you.

Plz can you update the skill tree (lighting strike) for templar ?

@necrotic

Soz for the late reply. Yeah I highly recommend using lightning coil because it gives great defenses.

Nowadays I recommend going trickster - shadow for this build, since the bonuses it provides are a lot better for our build. The tree will be the same as templar except the starting nodes are different.

What path should i choose for ascendancy (templar) ?

Is reflect really a non-issue on a 6L with a topaz flask? can't you kill yourself if you forget to pop a topaz?
