Mathil's Voltaxic Crit LA/Blast Rain - Cruise control the entire game. Uber Atziri Viable 2.2 ready
" No -max modifiers. Map was standard mods that do nothing special for the build (other than ele reflect). I had no issues in any maps before or even throughout that map so not sure what was different for that pack. I spec in and out of Vaal Pact. I don't particularly love it with blood rage, guess I could rely purely on Raider passive for frenzy charges. No Acuity because I'm one of those idiots who doesn't trade and likes to use self found stuff. Would Vaal Pact prevent any 1 shots like this? Is it worth getting more than 0.4% life leech if I use Vaal Pact? Would save me 2 points if I don't need to fill the Vitality Void node. |

" Vaal Pact is a must have in all the open-to-reflect-mechanics builds. You can remove Vaal Pact only if you use Acuity. As a raider, you should have a good frenzy charge uptime when mapping even if not running Blood Rage. With Vaal Pact and the current Voltaxic, 2% life leech is highly recommended.

Maybe it's only me, but I find Blood Dance terrible. A question of personal taste, I think.
In 2.3, in my opinion Atziri's Step and Darkray Vectors are miles ahead, especially considering the increased damage for a lot of monsters' abilities (skeletons casting sparks / fireballs / frostbolts are a serious PITA in -max / extra damage maps atm). Also, the real value of the Phase Acrobatics + Vaal Grace + Atziri's step combo to cap spell dodge when mapping has risen to the stars in this patch.

" I loved Darkrays for a long time. But the 0 movement speed without frenzy charges paired with the "aura of can't see shit captain" was too much for me and I gave up at some point. From a pure defensive perspective though, 18% dodge from boots = godly. I switch to them once in a while, like for Izaro for example since the stash is before the fight, I'll switch to them in the hopes that they save me when I'm bad and don't move out of something. Hint: they are not enough to save me. |

Can anyone post their trees? Having some trouble choosing now what to level up..
Also can anyone tell me what's the best 5l or 6l at the moment? Been using a 5l with LA + Chain + GMP + WED + Added Lightning... Should i swap any like for pierce? Last edited by King0fEarth#4271 on Jun 29, 2016, 10:42:38 AM

" Swap chain for pierce and get the pierce nodes. Use frost wall for single target. Should be nice. For try, for see, and for know.
This is a buff |

" You can look at my 90 Raider on Prophecy. Fairly cookie cutter build that I followed. I prefer pierce to chain, even if you're not using the FW for single target. Still recommend going with FW but not everyone likes that. As for 5L, LA + GMP + WED are mandatory. Pierce or chain is based on preference, never run both they don't work together. 5th link, while Added Lightning may give you more tooltip dps, I think increased crit chance is better. I went from 40.4% crit chance to over 60% (before power charges) with the increased crit chance gem. LA basically works like this: you don't crit, you do no damage, you crit, you 1 shot rares from 4 screens away. So crit chance = clearspeed and damage. |

Thanks both for the help :)

IMHO Added Lightning damage (support) is mandatory too. It's usually the first gem you want to corrupt (21/20) when perfecting the gear. For the same reason, Wrath (lvl 21) and Herald of thunder (20/23) are also strong corruption candidates.
It's what makes you scale a lot better with the total lightning output (Voltaxic has a very poor physical base). |

" You can check my profile if you want. And yes still trying to link that bow to 6 link^^ Got 44k dps with wrath,hoi,golem and no charges. |
