Mathil's Voltaxic Crit LA/Blast Rain - Cruise control the entire game. Uber Atziri Viable 2.2 ready

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?

Swap chain for pierce and get the pierce nodes. Use frost wall for single target. Should be nice.

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.

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.

Blood Dance are a waste of a unique slot, yeah they help when you struggle to maintain frenzies from just Blood Rage (so when you're levelling and have low level gems), but as soon as you can maintain them there's so much better options, even just a rare pair with decent eva/life/resists.

I switched to Darkrays this league, absolutely godly with a Raider.


I'm only just hitting t12 maps (terrible rng with sustains) but being able to switch between going max speed with Darkrays & Vaal Haste, and max defense with Atziri's Steps & Vaal Grace for rippy red maps seems like a good plan.

Time to Vaal some +1 Frenzy Atziri's Step I guess.

Did it in Perandus, it was certainly worth it. And it is now, too.

Hey, guys, so, if the LA is the single target, what uses the blast rain have?
