hey, i've been testing the build till act4 merciless and now i'm going to make the switch for 4curse instead of 2.

the thing is i don't find orb of storms a good skill for cursing, it has low/self range so it's impossible to curse at certain distance

what alternative setup/skill should I use for cursing? I've been thinking about icespear but i'm not sure. i thought about ball lightning but it's really slow...

Another arc maybe ?

thanks a lot!

I might have missed it since I see noone mentioning it but I couldn't find it, not even in the skill tree: how should I spend the ascendancy points? I mean 4 points for the extra curse ofcourse, but then 2 on the ES line? And in which order should I pick them? I think 3 curses should be enough until merciless so I assume first 2 on ES?

I'd take 4 curses right away

Just got one shot by Izaro's earth wave ability. Was looking so promising, but I didn't do nearly enough DPS to him. I guess this build needs help on fights where boss damage is crucial?

Okay, so I have been playing this build for a little bit now, currently lvl 46 in A2 cruel difficulty.

Only played friday night and today's evening so not really much to say. Looks pretty good so far, was never close to dying etc., damage is fine. Elemental Overload is awesome for lvling, can keep it up for almost 30-40% of the time and it's a huge boost in dps.

For lvling: just craft a scepter with +1 for Lightning skills with the vendor recipes and it's easy going. Until you get a 4l it's the best thing (or you get a nice lvling unique).

I actually wouldn't get some of the nodes in this order as all the hybrid nodes with es/life are pretty bad at lower levels (you only have around ~200es maybe). But it comes down how comfortable you feel and how well you know the game. I just got more dps first and will slowly spec into more def with cruel A4 and merciless approaching.

Will do labyrinth mabye tomorrow, last few days were just horrible in terms of latency/fps with many server crashes so the patch really sucked for performance.

Yes, this build's single target is not great, it helps a lot to be in a party with a single target type person - and of course the party will love you because you have so many curses.

Go for your 4th curse right away. Doing merciless labyrinth is not easy, you won't be doing it right when you get there.

Also I've been using ball lightning for applying curses, as others have mentioned, orb of storms isn't really good for that, it turns out.

Another arc is an option, but ball lightning will hit a lot more guys. Once I hit level 20 arc for 7 arcs I may try switching it back to arc again.

If you're having trouble with single target damage (as Arc builds usually have), level up Storm Call in off hand and switch it with Arc when you need it. That's what I usually do. Or you can have a 5-6L staff in off hand for killing bosses and stuff. Your choice :)

Can someone help me with this build im following the updated CI tree build now. what gem should I replace with arc and the Templar chain I find them useless and what gems should I get for more dps? and what should go with curses etc?

I want to replace something with Arc and Templar Chains ? any suggestions?



CWDT + Immortal Call + Increased Duration Do I put this one on my shield or weapon
