You are right about AA, now, i´m using a defence build with Life Gain on Hit as 6th link (removing BM) and

I have no problem with mana:-)

Also for an offensive build you can put

but it´s a pain to re-chrom 3G+3R...

What gem would be better for 6th link? (+2 molten strike projectiles...sounds good)

Hi Rico, hi guys

I was thinking here

Since mjolner got this cooldown in 2.4, some things changed, and we have to considerate them.

Mjolner has a cooldown of 100ms. With 5 aps, you get 200ms between attacks
If you use an attack skill like SS, MS, LS... the secondary effect of it is "cast" at the same rate (200ms). So, the ideal scenario is when you use the attack skill, and the secondary effect happens exactly in the half time between this and next attack, getting the magic value of 100ms between hits.

In molten strike, the balls of magma seems to hit all at same time, visualy variating speed because of random distance each one travel. The only factor that influence the delay is projectile speed, right?
So, if all balls hit at same time, it seems useless to ad projectiles such as LMP, GMP and helmet MS enchants. A 4L MS - faster attacks - Multistrike - Fortify would be the best option.

The static strike has a predefined delay to its effect, that can be modified by "duration" like Less duration support, skill effect duration passive nodes, etc.

In Lightning strike, it varies with projectile speed, enemy distance in an arc form, and if u use chain, distance between enemies. To complex to manipulate. But for single target is like an normal attack in terms of hits.

I Didn't give attention do frost blades yet

On the other hand:
When your attack speed is, for example, 15 aps, you grant an extra power charges once each 3 attacks (is that right?).
when static strike secondary effect happens, you gain a power charge for each target it hits, right? Same to magma balls

So, my questions are:

Is there a way to measure these delays, with the intention of manipulate it to get the perfect 100ms?
If your attack skill can't get this consistancy, or if you have more than 5 aps it wold be better just use a movement skill like cyclone or shield charge, right?

I tried to compare 4L SS with MS in my build (4.37 aps). MS balls, in my build, start to hit after 3rd attack (end of 1st multistrike). I don't know why, faster projectiles support didn't make difference. SS started to hit before 3rd attack, using less duration support lvl 19 +0

I'm trying to buy a PC to try to record in 120 fps a boss fight, so i can see frame per frame what is happening with my power charges. Next month I'll start some tests.

So, tell me if I'm saying something ridiculously wrong.
And again, sorry for my poor english.

Cold and fire explosions? Wut? The only explosion this build does is with a triggered discharge that does fire and lightning damage

@KaianSBT, i'm pretty sure that molten sttike projectiles don't hit all at the same time, I remember rico doing some experiments on that matter, some pages back

Ok, but i can't trigerred fire explosion. All time is lightning and very rarely fire, not as videos.
UPD: Fire discharge activates with 4 endurance charges)

The graphical performance of Discharge has been improved - it now only plays the dominant effect if you have multiple charge types.
