Any reason you don't use elemental overload?

Was answerwed allready. Its not worthy. Its 3 points better spent elswere.

For me its only 2 points as it lets me drop a +30 int point. Is 2 points really not worth 40% damage? Maybe I just need more gem levels.

Well, give it a try.

Feel free to use these links if you want Rico.

Thx, I've just added them to the guide.

Nice guide!

Tried scrolling through the post, but cant find.. anyone got a decent leveling tree pre-72 that doesnt cost a billion regrets? :)

Inspired by SMOKETHESKYXXX's Uber run I've run some DPS checks on Malformation Piety regarding different gem setups and Elemental Overload that many people talked about.

I've killed her 4 times, each time with different gem setup and with/without Elemental Overload.

I've recorder each kill attempt in 60 fps, than played it back in slow motion to count real kill time (aka when she was facetanked). Here are the results:

Dis = Discharge; FPen = Fire Penetration; CD = Controlled Destruciont; EO = Elemental Overload.

Dis-FPen-CD: 6s
Dis-FPen-Dis: 5-6s
Dis-FPen-Dis-EO: 4s
Dis-FPen-CD-EO: 3-4s


Here's the tree that I've used for EO setup: click

NOTE: My secound Discharge was only @lvl 15. Setups with Elemental Overload had overall 3% less dmg increased from tree - can be ignored.

So yeah, after saying that Elemental Overload is not worth additional 3 points I've tweaked passive skill tree so it costs 0 additional points and the only difference with previous tree version is that this one has 3% less overall dmg increased, 10% less aoe increased (both can be pretty much ignored) and 20 less int (can be fixed with 1 addtional point).

So, for those who are using non legacy Mjolner the most damaging option is to go Dis-FPen-Dis-EO as far as you can support your int through gear (or you can add 1 more passive point).

For those who are using legacy Mjolner above is probably also true as long as your PC can handle that ammount of Discharges/s. If not use Dis-FPen-CD-EO its gets the job done practicaly same as fast with less FPS breaking mechanics.


EDIT: Added above info to the guide.

EDIT2: Updated the guide, added new Gem & flasks setup, standarized passive trees, added 2 versions - Safe/Uber and General/Mapping.

@sniklefritz So after some additional tests I actually slightly redesigned tree to include Elemental Overload as it seems its pretty often in the "on" state even with Controlled Destruction (to my suprise). Now its costs 0 points or 1 point if you have int problems.


EDIT 3: Added T12 Village Ruin video with vulnerability, crazy dmg mods, using latest General/Mapping setup with double Discharge, Fire Pen, Elemental Overload - works like a charm:

Nice work on the latest updates Rico! Thanks for the shoutouts as well. There's only one thing left for this build to do....Hall of Grandmasters! I tried 3 times last night. I cleared 5 out of 6 wings but can't clear the final wave in the hall of heroes. I get one shot by the goddamn ranger (puncture skill maybe? As soon as I try to get close I'm gone). Cant recall his name. I bet you could clear it Rico with your knowledge of flask usage and a better strategy.

*DanziGG is the characters name that keeps one shotting me. I can't get close enough to him. He's in the last wave.

isnt Avatar of Fire a good option for more fire dmg with discharge/fire pen ?

I dont think it will be noticable (or better at all). I dont want to go math here but to the naked eye: there's like 6k ligt damage per Discharge with 3 power charges. Half of that is 3k, it will be around 4k fire dmg added (with all that fire increases and stuff) and 3k light wasted. So net benefit will be around 1k dmg per Discharge and only fire dmg. So no shocks via crits which is the main issue here.

Hey is this prophecy HC friendly? Also a lot of the gear is hard to find with those slots any substitutes?

Its not (Volls Devotion). Because of that its rather end-game-meta you may or may not aim for.

How you guys getting 5k+ life? I copied pretty much the same gear and I'm at 3.5k. What suggestions can you give me to do uber Atziri and labs? I know I need more life nodes and levels but can't see me getting that much.
