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

Hello,

I've been playing your build since the end of 2.2 (not so long ago). It is very strong by I think my gear is really far from optimal.
Firstly, I don't get how you guys manage to have 5.5+ aps with molten strike. I barely sit à 5.0X.

I have respeced since 2.3 and the juggernaut passives make this build even stronger! The always on 7 (for now) endu charges are great!

Could you guys provide some help on which part of my build to upgrade ?

Thanks!

If you want to push your attack speed higher, then use Blood Rage linked to Blood Magic and you'll be able to get your IAS a bit higher with that. Also, you can likely drop your CWDT setup for Immortal Call and just cast it manually...that is...if you've got a high enough level IC and can link it to Increased Duration and Blood Magic. You'll have to check on the time you get for IC in that sort of setup and make sure it's over 4 seconds so you'll bypass the cooldown time.

Short answerw: jools. You're low on jewel sockets (5 is optimal). Get those asap and then socket some nice attack speed jools. Like 8% with maces 5% total, 8% while holding a shield, 7% with one handed melee weapons, 4% all and so on. With good luck you can get +15% attack speed per jool with other usefull stats like str / life.

I'll post my jools today evening when I'm back at home.


@Tanakeah I didnt choose RT from one simple reason: accuracy is high enough that it doesnt matter but at the same time that accuracy provides attack speed.

With something like this as a secound ring I have 4k accuracy, thats 20% attack speed "for free":

I know about the accuracy thing for sure, but for me I am running RT right now only because I don't have the extra two ascendancy points to get the big accuracy boost. :) Once I get them, then I'll be able to get that node and drop RT and put the points in my current tree elsewhere.

So here are my jools as some poeple asked for them:

I can say, that Atziri is very easy with this build

I spend about 7 minutes . Awsome

Currently I'm testing different gem setups. So far I like best for general map clearing:


Attack: 1/20 Cyclone - 20/20 Faster Attacks - Fortify - Blood Magic

Mjolner: 20/20 Discharge - 20/20 Increased AOE - 20 Controled Destruction


It feels very smooth and flawless. For bosses I do swap Inc AOE for secound Discharge. They melt in seconds.

There are many option (which is cool). To give you guys (and girls) some ideas:


Mjolner: Discharge - Controled Destruction - Discharge

Mjolner: Discharge - Controled Destruction - Fire penetration

Mjolner: Discharge - Controled Destruction - Inc Aoe

Mjolner: Discharge - Controled Destruction - Conc Effect

Mjolner: Discharge - Fire Pen - Discharge

Mjolner: Discharge - Fire Pen - Inc Aoe


... and so on :)


Basically the more I test the more I find Arc and Lightning Strike useless with this build.

Rico, have you tried a triple discharge mjolner setup? If so, how it compares to the other choices?

Not yet :) I think this will be a little bit of overdoing. Double discharge seems to be right on spot. Well, ofcourse if someone is able to reach higher aps like 6.5+ than maybe triple Discharge might work wonders for him.

I'm uploading T15 Abyss Video with dmg modes, boss dmg modes, monster attack speed, endu charges and other nasty things (oh yeah and with fixed sound).

So yeah, I have like 7 lvl 87+ characters ready to be respeced into something, I have gear&gems for them, but this time, this patch I really dont feel a need of doing anything else lol.

This build is doing more damage than CoC and its tanky.

seeing how good this build feels, i fear a nerf after Prophecy

Welp, time to enjoy while it lasts
