[2.4] CI CoC Discharge by Rico (barely reanimated)

@Vaaroth

Glad you like the build :)

The guide is now updated with additional info while has removed outdated info. Take a closer look at current gem setup. You need to make a few adjustments. For example:

1) Replace AA with HoI in the helmet and swap CoC with BV (just to change gem order) in your chest in order to have Elemental Equilibrium at work. You have +fire dmg on your dagger with HoI it will be fire + cold, setting -50% for lightning on enemies all the time.

2) If you have no Volls Devo amu you should throw in Crit Multi amulet for nice dmg boost.

3) If you followed my tree than you should be able to run PoL + HoI + Discipline + Assasins Mark via Blasphemy at the same time. You need to drop Empower from your Blasphemy chain and use one lvl 3 enlighten in your helmet (or use The Vertex with lvl2 enlighten)

Rest is fine, nice enchantment roll on boots :)

Hi m8.
I must to tell you for this build is really OP!!!
I am on level 92,and now i have 10.245 Energy shield,without Vaal discipline gem.
I play so easy maps tier 13,14,i kill all boss so easy.
So,yes,this build is so OP.
Ok,this is my gear:



Thx again for topic

Btw, how about new facebreaker since maligaros nerf? They should be cheap (well, only on league atm) for eweak on hit/+1gems vaaling also.

These are an option if you can achieve 59% crit chance with your dagger before power charges. But overall Maligaros are BIS. Crit chance, crit multi, attack speed and dexterity.

Also noticed have much less dps than in 2.1, and looks much slower getting charges with aoe gem instead of crit. Its most bcz bladevortex nerf? Then critchance gem looks better than aoe, then u need get templar aoe or it will very low.

Sorry m8 but I dont know what are you talking about :) If u follow my build you will see for your self that it does TONS of dmg and has absolutelty no problem keeping those charges rolling. And new defence mechanics from Occultist are just golden.

If you're refering to the aoe gem vs increase crit gem than yes, increase crit is much better. With aoe gem you need support your crit chance with Assasins Mark via Blasphemy and this combo will work

EDIT: I'm uploading new 2.2 T13 Excavation video with dmg modes so you guys can see the new stuff in action :) I'll add this to the video section as soon as its done. Especially intresting is the "long" Boss fight (all 3 bosses ripped in about 12s :)

EDIT2: Video is up :)

I can easily tell by looking at theorycrafting that this build is quite promising!

Would a poor man's version of this build be viable for HC? What's a way to level, without having to regret later and using this setup as early as possible (even if it's not optimal).

What about the new shield, Malachai's Loop? I tried it for a bit and got shocked extremely often. Once I got rid of all the additions to generate power charges (Blade Vortex and Voll's Protector), it seemed pretty consistent. I was testing with a Tabula and the shield by itself generates plenty of power charges. I tested with a Surgeon's/Grounding flask, but it didn't come up often with the above setup.

6L: Cyclone/CoC/Ice Nova/Discharge/Increased Crit Strikes/Life Leech
Elemental Focus also worked extremely well (in place of Ice Nova).

Note: I tested with Power Charge on Crit and consistently got shocked. Same with running Blade Vortex in the chest. Anything added to generate charges gets you shocked a lot. But just using Cyclone had me discharging often without shocking myself. My crit chance was ~60% on Cyclone.

I tried Fairgraves' Tricorne but it seems overkill. Same with Maligaro's Restraint.

Obviously this is not optimized; but if it works in a Tabula, any chest can work. You could use something like a Carcass Jack, Lightning Coil, or just a Vaal Regalia. Major upside compared to the non-stats of a Voll's Protector. Malachai's Loop doesn't have terrible ES (~200) either.

What do you think?

The big question is rather: Is it reliable vs single target?

Generating charges vs packs wont be an issues but just looking at it - it is 80% cut in power charge generation vs single target. And charges are dmg, and dmg is life (via leeching). Another thing is: is it generating one power charge per skill cast as for example Romiras des or it is rather per every enemy hit as Volls Protector does.

Cant say anything really untill I have a chance to test it myself.

But just using Cyclone...

Will make you loose elemental equilibrium chain which is e e, e e :)

Would a poor man's version of this build be viable for HC?

You mean no Volls Devo and 5l Volls Protector + lvl 20s puritys? Hm hm, dunno. Considering you've taken all the Occultist nodes, have Vagans dagger with at least 55% chance to crit before charges, have 6 power charges and 7k+ es, elemental equilibrium chain up & running, aura setup mentioned in the guide (for that max res with lvl 20 puritys) it should be valid till T12 maps. You might support yourself with additional flasks like Rumis and additional Vaal Disciplines for that oh shit moments. I would skip some dungerous map mods when doing this and approach the map boss just after blowing his adds to have that es regen stacks going when I deal with him/her.

Unfortunetaly I cant give you a good answer as I didnot lvl with this (respec). But to give some ideas in which direction I would go:

You may try going hybrid life/es Incinerate, than going full es:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1354469

This will need respecing some cast speed / fire dmg nodes into crit / area dmg nodes.

Dual Flame Totems / Shockwave Totems might be also an option, again mainly ife / some es, than full es later on.

This will need respecing some totem nodes.
