[3.0]SC CI Trickster Lightning Strike using HOWA under 2ex
|
About build:
Spoiler
Since Perandus league I just love playing CI trickster so I decided it's finally time to make one. Also I wanted it to be melee so
was an obvious choice since doing CI would give us a lot of intelligence anyway. Also I decided to go lightning Strike because of it's damage effectiveness, and for my own amusement. Required uniques:
Spoiler
Gloves pretty much fix our accuracy problem Recommended uniques:
Spoiler
Fixes our debuff from Ghost Reaver. If you are lazy as me and find chill/freeze too scary to even get it for a fraction of a second this is a great ring for you. Bonus DMG, we don't have to worry about requirements, increases benefits from gloves. Since we will be mostly hitting enemies with projectiles not melee dmg this is an obvious choice. Great life leech. (Preferably you'd want to have the one with "lightning penetration" but so far I'm using this one. Moar DMG Also I reccomend using Eleron's ring. Allows us to reserve more mana without having any mana problems. Rest of the items should be rare with nice ES and some resistances. Final Passive Tree (lvl95): Ascendancy Priorities:
Spoiler
Ghost Dance -> Shade Form are corse to this build, rest is your personal choice but I higly recommend going Swift Killer (who doesn't like free charges? :D ) and then Weave of The Arcane. As you can notice we are using 10 jewel sockets. Stats you should look for in your jewels (most of them gonna cost less than 5c):
Spoiler
%Lightning damage
%Damage %Elemental Resistances(feel free to get some resistances from jewels it will make gearing easier and since we have around 7k energy shield with mid-quality gear you don't need %ES on every jewel) %Attack speed with claws %Attack speed while holding a shield %Projectile dmg/melee dmg %Energy shield +Intelligence Gems, buffs, and auras:
Spoiler
You only need 5L in order to make this build work, but I highly reccomend using a 6L for more damage. Lightning Strike links(in order of priority): Lightning Strike Added Lightning Damage Damage on Full Life Elemental Damage with Attacks Lightning Penetration Elemental Focus Using Penetration gem instead of Ele focus allows us to shock enemies, so we can benefit from it more than from Ele focus while using a 5LINK. Orb of Storms(used to proc Elemental Overload and shock tougher enemies): Orb of Storms Increased Critical Strikes Faster Casting Elemental Proliferation Movement Skills(shield or weapon): Shield Charge or Whirling Blades Faster Attacks Fortify Aura group(shield or weapon): Discipline Wrath Enlighten (lvl3 is fine) Life Savers: CWDT Immortal Call Increased Duration Vaal Discipline Curse: Blasphemy Conductivity or Warlord's Mark. It's your choice but I highly reccomend using WM. You can use Enlighten here but it's not required. My current gear(costed me around 3 ex [including jewels and flasks] and I have 7k ES atm):
Spoiler
Leveling Section:
Spoiler
Before you hit level 22 I reccomend using a Quill Rain with split arrow Lvl 22 From now on best way to level is using Astramentis and 2 Hand of Thought and Motion and rares to keep your life/ES and resistances high. Passive Tree: Lvl 50: Lvl 68: Lvl 76: After this rest it pretty much your choice if you want to get more jewel sockets or more ES. Videos:
Spoiler
Sulphur Wastes with boss(I'm lvl 74 while doing it so there is still few dmg nodes to take):

Once I'll stop being lazy I'll upload videos of doing Atziri and possibly Guardians with this build.
