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

i dont understand. How to survive with CI? I got too much permastuns. Only Skyforth? Cant even do t8 maps easily with my 7.8k ES.

There are several options to handle stun. I prefer to attack before the mobs can do, stunning them myself. Another option would be the boots enchantment "80% chance to avoid stun".

I find that shield charge is nice. I think it give a bit more mobility than whirling blades.

Shield Charge is a little bit faster for pure traveling. You dont leave your actual position instant, but you can use it again faster.

Whirling Blades on the other hand is more effective to dodge. You will leave your position in the same moment you are using it.

It is pretty much a decision of your choice, both are T1 movement skills.

why not use voltaxic rift for some sweet sweet poison damage on top of this? Seems to synergize well with how often ball lightning hits

The same confusion as always.

Chaos is not the same as poison, also you dont get the chaos on top, but a part of your lightning damage converts. It wont work proper on my build, and is not recommended at all. Read the PoE Wiki pages according:
-Poison
-Chaos damage
-Damage conversion

There are dozens of other reasons why Voltaxic isnt your best choice here, feel free to prove that im wrong :P

Right, so you'd have to use a cospri's or a poison gem in addition to.

There are volatix spark builds for instance.

Poison Support -> Not realy worth it, compared to other gems (atleast for an elemental build)
Cospri's -> you loose ways too many ES
Voltaxic -> you cant use a shield (and loose tons of ES/block)

Additinaly you loose Fortify with a Voltaxic (often underestimated).

All that is not necessary anyways, as your damage with my build is absolutely fine.
Instead of going for even more DPS, i'd say it is rather a good idea for some players to improve it's defense and take a bit less damage ;)

The only reason people play Voltaxic Spark: they are always in danger of reflect out of sight. You wont have this problem on my build as much, because you dont kill mobs 3 screens away. Mobs in sight can be countered easy with Vessel of Vinktar.

On top of all this, my build relys on crit, even more than other crit casters. Check Lightning Bolt's (Choir of the Storm) tooltip numbers! A dagger can yield SO MUCH more crit compared to a Voltaxic.

If this is still not enough reasons against Voltaxic, send me a privat message - i have many good arguments left.

Hi
