[3.1] The Laserbeam! Crit Ball Lightning build - Clearspeed & Bosskills!

@SakYant:

Heyo!

I tried everything.

Storm Burst is just crap.

A 6L staff is possible - you loose lots of block & life tho. For bosses till T14 a staff in weapon swap could work i guess. Be aware that you prolly die to higher bosses with less than 5k life & Fortify'less.

A better option would be another 6L armor to swap.

I agree storm burst is crap :) I only meant to use it as the channel tag to ball lightning, but I'm not sure it would cast BL fast enough (compared to manual casting). The extra damage from storm burst would just be a bonus. I might just try armor swap. TY!

I dont like that this threat is sleeping :S

Its an intresting build, well, u have to change a lot since the nerf of choir, but well.

I would like to know what DPS i should have which is shown ingame, completely unbuffed, u know what i mean?
If u go on BL skill, in town f.e., what base damage should i have to go for guardians ?
I followed the built with focusing much on getting much EHP, i have currently 9,3k EHP, thats plenty,
but i dont rly kill bosses as fast as i should as a Bosskiller - is it the build or is it me, so im asking what damage the skill should have .....
Dont get me wrong, im rly strong, i can do T 16 Maps easily, also Beachhead is no problem, but this build should be a bosskiller, not a maper ....

Pls answer if someone understand my concern

I fully reworked the thread for 3.0 early in the league already. Plus 3 replys from me within the last 7 days. Well and this answer only 1h after your reply.

To your question.
In my hideout with "Wrath + Lightning Golem + Slower Projectiles" my tooltip DPS shows 24 615. Check out my latest YouTube video to see what this damage looks like (older videos may show less damage).

To archieve the exact same or a higher power level, just check my passive tree / gear / jewels.

Be aware that jewels yield crazy amounts of power!

"Add's 1-160 lightning damage if you have not killed recently" boots enchantment is huge aswell. It will scale to 20% on Ball Lightning, another 20% on Orb of Storms and a stunning 100% on Lightning Bolt (triggered by Choir of the Storm). After that flat effectivness it will scale with your "increased spell/lightning damage" and with crit multi aswell.

Good luck with your journey, exile!

I took your advise and rechromed my chest to 5B 1G so I could use slower projectiles/culling strikes. Been using slower projectiles/elemental focus on boss fights and then culling/crit damage for map clears. The only problem I still have is survivability. I have to be extra cautious with certain map rolls (even vulnerability or boss damage on certain maps could mean death). I've mainly been running shaped T11-13 and feel like every few maps I end up dying somehow. Most of the time it's boss fights, shaped spider/castle ruins/atoll, but sometimes Harbringers. I have around 5,900 HP and 900+ ES which I feel like should be enough. Chaos resist is -40%, all other resists capped out. Any suggestions?

Loving this build JB (hope you don't me calling you that haha) - anyway I realised in your Guide you wrote "Adds 1-120 lit damage" instead of 1-160.

Thanks for the guide!

Hey again,
thx for the fast reply, and by all means, i didnt meant the thread itself is sleeping, im sry if i wrote it wrong maybe, what i meant is, the interest in this built ... so little followers it seems,
in my other guide, there are 5 - 10 new posts every day and this helps to improve but well, ty again

In my tooltip, compared to your wrath, golem and Slowe Pr. i reach 18k ... with 9,2k EHP ...
maybe i go a little bit less ehp for more damage, since i do not know where i can improve my damage further .... maybe a lvl 21/20, for sure, but thats it... u can check my gear, its open for all, well, maybe i try 2x dagger or even 2 x void battery as it still doesnt feel like a bosskiller :(

best regards

@Zand:

Hmm i have seen people with worse gear doing higher maps without trouble.
I dont know about your playstyle, but maybe you just have to accept that you are not a melee tank in the first place. With Fortify up bosses shouldnt be able to onehit you, with enough damage it is impossible that they twohit you due to leech.

The last suggestion i have for you is to try Artic Armor (instead of HoI). I run it myself against Phoenix & T15+ physical damage bosses. Another 12% less phys dmg taken may do the trick for you.

//EDIT:
Some bosses are just hard. If you failed killing totem bosses or The Godess - dont worry. You cant leech mana against them as easy, because they are curse immun. There are many ways to play around that, ie: Mana Leech Support, ninja leave & rejoin to refill mana, mana leech enchant on boots, Vaal Clarity or a mana flask (to just point a few).

@kazafz:

Oops, my bad. Thanks a lot, will correct that.

@Brummbär88:

My guide is kinda exotic and a non-meta build. Dont expect as much reply's as ie golem builds have. :P

Level 21 gems & better jewels could add the missing damage i believe (be aware that lv21 Ball Lightning is the biggest dps improvement of all lv21 gems by far). Your EHP is pretty high in my opinion. 7k life should be the absolute maximum, put points into damage if you have archieved this already.

If you can handle to get double curse anyhow (amulete corruption, passive node etc) you gain the option to use Projectile Weakness for another ~50% damage multiplier. This is huge.

Hey onlyjb,

I found u Build realy cool, but my problem is that i was killed instandly by one reflekt mob....

What are u doing against this.

Map clear is rly good and i can kill the bosses easy. But one Ele Relekt killed my fun and 10%

greatings to u
