[2.6] life Mjolner done right by Rico - Berserker version

Would we also need to put Inc accuracy on lightning strike? or the projectiles wont miss anyways?

1000 accuracy would be enough to be consistent with molten strike? :)

It will be less consistent than RT for sure. Old Jugg version had 1000 accuracy but also 60% increased accuracy from passive tree. Than there was +333 from romiras and I had +339 from a second ring. For a total of 3500+ accuracy rating. This was good enough for most content. Still RT is more reliable than that.

So test it for yourself, for me - I'm gonna stick with RT.

If you're doing it only for flask refill, better try Perpetual flasks + Magnate belt and leave that RT alone :)


EDIT: Added Atziri run video in the guide.

The build doesn't seem to be very tanky tho, you dip REALLY low alot while doing the video.

I dipped low EXACTLY 2 times in the video. I wont call that "alot".

1) Vs enraged cyclonist when I was under RF, standing in the degen ground while he applied 8 corrupting blood stacks on me. After switching off RF and removing bleeding via life flask that didnt happen again.


2) Vs Atziris empowered Storm Call - I took 2 at the time while not having topaz flask ready and not leaching. That was an error but build survived that.

Other than that health didnt drop below 45-50% anywhere else.

Hi there

I've been thinking about juggernault and if its that good people talk, so I compared with inquisitor (non-crit)

Inquisitor

110% damage
49% attack speed
6% elemental resistances
5.0% life regenerated

imune to status
enemies cause 8% less elemental damage
less 16% enemies ele resist


Juggernault (9 endurance)

94% damage
60% armour

+1.5% life regenerated
+1 endurance charge
20% gain endurance charge
8% less ele damage
5% damage reduction
25% chance to max end charge

We will use in our tests:
1P = 1 power charge
1E = 1 endurance charge

Assumming you are fightning a single target, if you have a non ascendancy class, and assumming each charge have a damage factor of 1, we have, for example

spark - discharge - support gem (+40% damage)

in damage comparison, spark has a factor of ~1.496

so, single target hitting:

spark - discharge - spark - discharge - spark - discharge...
5P(MAX) - 5E+1P - 5P+5E - 1P+5E - 5P+5E - 1P+5E...
1.496 - 7 - 1.496 - 10 - 1.496 - 10...
The charges just count as damage factor when discharge trigger, so the average damage factor of this mess (x1.4 of support gem) is

= ~ 7.35

When you use this setup

discharge - empower - support gem (+40% damage)

we have:

discharge - discharge - discharge - discharge - discharge...
1 - 3 - 4 - 4 - 4...

average damage factor:

= ~ 6.53

The power difference between a pure discharge and spark-discharge is 12.56% for spark-discharge

When u go for 2 or more targets, pure discharge is better

(Just for note, empower lvl3 gives +41% base damage to discharge, and +16% base damage for spark, no frenzy considered)

So, these 12.56% more damage for single targets dont compensate, in my opinion, so i think pure discharge is better (Romira's no crit build).

The Juggernault + Scold's Bridle brings more complexity to the math, so i'll not post all i did here, but this combo gives a total of 42.5% more damage (pure discharge, single target).
The Inquisitor has great bonuses, like the 49% attack speed, and imunity to elemental status conditions.
I didn't test Bersek, but it's lifesteal and bonuses in damage are great too.

So, the battle is really close, but i still prefer my inquisitor.

Any mistakes pls tell me
And sorry for my poor english.

I dont have any experience with Templar based Mjolners so I cant comment on that really. Maybe others will have something to add to this.

What can say thou is that I have been theorycrafting Inquisitor based Mjolner for 2.4 and I didnt find him "worthy" ;)

Regarding lvl 4 Empower. In my current setup it gives less dmg than controlled destrucion.

I tried Rico's RT version and then switched to a Non-RT EO version with attacks on mana and additional accuracy on Molten strike.

O.M.G.

Full 4/4 discharge does around 30k tooltip damage and i can still sustain RF thanks to a little more life regen instead of +1% fire res for an astonishing 48-50k discharge dpu
Molten strike Chance to hit is around 92-93%, around the juggernaut levels, overall it's a good alternate option. Also, 14k arc damage

And now let's start the lvl 92 to 100 grind for moar life :D

Can you post Arc and Discharge tooltip shots with and without rf?

Doryani's Invitation Heavy Belt (Physic)
Doryani's Invitation Heavy Belt (Lightning)
Doryani's Invitation Heavy Belt (Fire)
Viable ??

My bad, i saw wrong numbers on Discharge Damage, still quite high tho



All screenshots are taken with every buff visible and with Discharge(21/20)-CD-Arc(19/4)

Arc Damage without RF:


Arc with RF:


Discharge without RF:


Discharge with RF:


TL;DR: Arc does 8.2k - 13.3k, Discharge 4/4 pow/end does 22.7k - 36.1k
