someone brought up using discharge with a voll's protector/devotion for even faster procs on vms due to discharge having no cooldown and can be cast instantaneously as opposed to using incinerate. . .
thoughts anyone?

Discharge has a 1 second base cast time.

It is possible to use Discharge with Volls Protector and Volls Devotion for more damage on an attack based build. Use Quill Rain to generate the VMS procs with Cast on Crit and Discharge etc. for more damage. With investment in attack speed you can also get 10+ VMS procs a second and the additional damage from CoC will be significant.

I tested a build like this a while back. Elreon jewelry was used to keep the mana cost down to almost nothing. It was hard to get a decent crit chance with Quill Rain without making major defensive sacrifices and thus charging up VMS was tedious. This will change though if the new Assassin class is released with the +0.5% base crit chance per power charge as new possibilities are opened up.

no! stop getting off topic!
what i meant was discharge has a 1 second cast time that 1 second cast time refers to the cast animation not the cooldown
therefore it can be cast as soon as u have another power/endurance charge up right after expending the 1st set of charges! thus causing discharge to cast at a much higher rate than incinerate (however you would be taking more dmg because of this but life leech should even it out)
or so i was told and thus why i brought it up
the wiki doesnt mention discharge to have any cooldown and no mention of an "internal cooldown" that i found with cwdt.

also this would be utilized for atziri and not mapping although i suppose it could be done either way

the only reason why im saying this is cuz i talked to like 5 or 6 different CoC discharge players that said discharge has no cooldown and when they run atziri they can just hold down the discharge button and let the sparks fly cuz they're recycling charges to be able to cast discharge right after another right after another and so on. Then i thought i could implement that into our vms setup and achieve a much faster proc on vms than incinerate

so i would encourage the rest of you to talk to other players in game about discharge having a cooldown or not (which i have done) and im of the belief that it can proc vms faster than incinerate

(P.S. i was so frustrated with my carcass screwing me on gem colors that im frantically trying to find a better chestpiece to recoup what i lost from carcass, i do not want to recommend anything that differs from the original post/guide. im just theory-crafting a replacement)
