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

has any1 thinking of changing the Ascendant's tree?

im thinking if Slayer/assassin a good choice for it...
because i think berserker make u quite squishy to be honest,
5% sometimes is huge especially for those boss or rares that hits hard
i'm thinking of trying out with Slayer/assassin and invest some passives on the
vitality void...
any of u can comment a little on my thought pls?=)

How do you guys sustain the intelligence needed for some of the gems in this build? I am level 57 right now, and if i drop my amulet which has 27 + intelligence + 12 intelligence, then half of my gear can't be used due to not enough intelligence.

Anyone? Thanks! :)


Well you basically have to get a es/eva boots with 35+ int. I had decent attack speed and crit chance so I ditched rat's nest and did the same with helmet too. Now I'm sitting at 166 int.

you can also use fertile mind on the right side of the tree. which would give you around 80 int. believe me, it opens so many possibilities on your gear choices. you basically go full dps jewellery without worrying about int.
Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

What do you guys think about this boots? It gives me like 20-25% DPS boost. But no ms/life/res of course. Maybe with some god tier astral armor I won't need the res.


I'm not a big fan. Movement speed is a huge factor for this build and you always struggle to get resists and Life. the 1-120 Lightning damage are good, but you should rahter focus on getting damage on the jewelery slots.

I only have intelligence on 1 piece of my gear which is the amulet.

Since they changed the skill tree you get a bit more via passive nodes and you can still grab 1-2 +30 Int. nodes to balance this issue while leveling/gearing up.

erm...any1 can give me some comment on this pls?
I need your help guys.

Can't decide which one to pick up: Endless Munitions or Ricochet

Endless Munitions:
"+200 accuracy": rating is nice to have, but not game changing.
"+20% AoE": helps Blast Rain, Herald of Cold and any other AoE effect. Can't tell if this is very nice to have or just a plus
"Skills Fire on Additions Projectile": Helps Lightning Arrow, but doesn't help Blast Rain, right?

Ricochet:
"Skills Chain +1 times": I assume this helps Lightning Arrow a lot, and doesn't benefit Blast Rain at all. However, does it allow me to drop Chain Support Gem from LA setup? Only +1 chain is enough to sustain a good clear speed?

Thank you.

Edit:
Just one more question:
How "Far Shot" interacts with Blast Rain? If I'm far enough I get the 30% multiplier? As simple as that?

Thank you for overtaking the repeating questions mate, haha ;-)

I've been asking quite a few myself, so it's the least I could do for you :D.

Doesn't mean I'm anywhere closer to completing the build, though. Still poor as heck :(


Take that as a good thing, since it keeps you driven! The build is really strong already on budget (assuming Voltaxic is "budget" *shrug*)

Even my level of gear doesnt suffice me yet, but i think i will have to craft most of the stuff i really want - which is still unlikely.

I managed to get a 4 Offcolours Voltaxic and plan to try out critical strikes instead of poison on Blastrain and will report on that after the holidays (am on shitty laptop right now, so dont really want to stress it too much).

In the meantime i can share and offer my help on the forums if i have some sparetime, so keep dem questions comming.

Happy holidays to everyone here.



They are real close and I have been testing in general since this patch came out. I ran Crit chance and also crit multi and they have good points yet as you mentioned to me in an earlier reply the poison stacks and if you need to move around a bit poison still may outshine crit chance/crit multi in general yet that's the thing - If you have to move around on the endgame bosses or uber - killing speed becomes a big factor and the more you have to tank/move the greater the chance of getting killed. I have now made two armors in the past couple of weeks to test some high end map boss content with poison gem in BR, Crit chance gem and also Crit munti so keep me informed of your findings. I am always tinkering trying to find the best overall gem setup let alone always trying to find that better ring, boot, belt, etc. :P

Something is wrong here... I got 6k lightning arrow tooltip dps and 7k blast rain tooltip dps both unbuffed, lv79 and have followed the scion part for this build. Is that normal?



I'm level 87 and just done Atziri for the first time (succesfully)!
I have about 105k LA dps fully buffed. Got deadeye, +1 chain ascendancy and dropped chain from LA setup.
I don't have any 6L. My gems are level 19, without quality on them. Uniques are far from perfect rolls. Gear was bought for cheap, the ammy costed the most, 1 ex. I linked the armour and the bow was 2.5 ex, if I remember.
Thought it would be nice to post my character:

Gear:

Tooltip DPS and Offence/Defence tabs:

Hello , I really liked the guide.

You could show how is Passive Tree to 2.2 ( perandus ) SC? I think it's the only question that remains for me , Thank you !
