Love this build. Running only single curse though, and 4 link RF to kill "allies cannot die mobs" without my PC exploding from the infinite arcs. Gonna get a few more lvls then try Atziri i think. And i find cyclone faster for clearing most groups in maps.

Cyclone is good for clearing but Molten Strike is best in slot for single target DPS. I use both Lightning strike and Molten strike on my 6L so I can adapt on situations :

Molten Strike - Lightning Strike for clearing/Blind for bosses - Multistrike - GMP - Faster Attacks - Life gain on hit

But without 6L yeah cyclone is a great idea for clearing, plus it keeps Fortify up all the time and don't misinteract with EE as Lightning Strike do. You'd still lose a slot for Vaal Haste that give a great DPS boost for bosses.

I'll do some testing of this setup this evening and give you feedback.

BTW did you try the tri-curse setup ? If so what are your feelings between tri-curse / purity of fire + dual-curse / purity of fire + arctic armour + single curse ?

No i didn't try anything but single curse. I just feel like my dmg is quite sufficient. But i do feel a little squishy now an then. Helps with a basalt flask with Iron Skin though. Getting me on 90% physical reduction for 13 seconds.

With dual curse + purity of fire I can free 4 points on the tree (Whispers of doom).


I'll try out that too and see if it is worth dropping Temporal Chains for those 4 points. I think it will be worth. :p


Edit : I can now sustain easily RF + BR. It is way better than before and I have two more jew sockets.

Hey you Updatet it in your Tree? What is now good 3 Curses or the 1 Curse Setup with 4 Points left?

And btw is it good in HC Perandus?

I still have to finish lvling my char on HC Perandus. I did not switched to Mjolner yet but be sure I'll let you now my first impressions.

I think the best option for HC is warlord's mark - enfeeble - purity of fire - blasphemy.

If I were to push it hard on SC I'd go triple curse with warlord's mark - conductivity - elemental weakness. That'd lower mobs' lightning resitance so much (plus the lightning penetration) ! Combined to RF you'd wreck bosses I believe.

so you'd still suggest using 4 skill points on those aura nodes in SC?

Think I'm going to try to get away with RF + Safell's frame, but we'll see how that goes lol. Might only pop it for bosses.

I've never used the RF, so dont know how it should work, but I cant sustain it, for a few seconds ends all life and dont know what to do with it.

I have no idea how to kill Atziri, because the split phase is killing me instantly, storm call deals little damage, RF i cant used, hope on your advice!

I just try your new set up and it's realy good =)

Warlord's mark + enfeeble + purity of fire. It's surprisingly easy to sustain BR+RF with rise of the phoenix + endu charge. The damage are now crazy xD

My update gear:



Thanks for keeping this guide up to date =)

Fly safe

I've been thinking... is it really worth it to get elemental equilibrium in this build? I feel like it slows down speed clears (when just running around throwing lightning strike in sub t10-11 maps), and then it also eats up 7-8 skill points that we can potentially save. Is the synergy with RF really that great?

What are your feelings arachnea (or anyone)? Have you tried sacking those points and getting more jewel slots and spell damage nodes?
