Yo earlier we talked about ball lightning and that it does the most damage.
I was thinking about it today and i want to be sure about something.

So in PoB ball lightning has a lot less DPS than Arc. I figured thats the damage each ball does and since we hit the boss with multiple balls it gets multiplied and thats the true DPS of this skill. Then i thought that's dumb, PoB should take into account how many balls would hit the target with the appropriate cast rate and show that as DPS.

So how does that work for dmg calculation?
Is it something like one ball hits the same target multiple times (every 150 ms according to the wiki) and thats the stat PoB doesnt take into account?


I am sure Cyrix will have a detailed response to this question, but I believe one of the reasons we use Slower Projectiles is because Ball Lightning continues to deal damage every 150 ms, Cyrix hints at this when he says "depending on some things like positioning of the enemy and how long the ball is connecting". This becomes very noticeable when you take slower projectiles off, because if the ability did not hit multiple times based on its projectile speed then I would assume taking Slower Projectiles would actually be a damage loss.

This is correct. BL will continue to hit targets every 150ms as it travels past as long as the target is within its AoE. The slower it goes, the longer the target is within BL's AoE and thus the more times BL can hit the target.


So the DPS that PoB lists is the damage of all the balls hitting tha target 1 time only? So lets say if a ball hits on average a stationary target 6.6 times (every 150ms) per second, the actual dmg would be the one that PoB displays * 6.6?

How hard is it to farm the cards for Poets Pen? I can't believe how ridiculous the price is staying...


Do farm Scriptorium. It drops both the Card for Poets as well as for Shavs. Either way its a good profit/an item for this build.


You can even do what I was doing and carry friends/ guildies/ randoms and just say ahead of time you're taking the drops they get xp :D. I was able to farm up my cards pretty quickly doing that.


Shaped at t16 or lower ?
Sextants corruption and everything ?

I have two more pens to farm could use some guidance :)

thanks for the answer on call of the brotherhood :)
Btw i checked on pob, it's gonna be hard to get the mark of the shaper with how much res i have on my second ring erf.

How the hell are we supposed to meet attribute requirements for STR and DEX with all these uniques? I've never played an ES character and I am really struggling with the gearing, I spend more time staring at my character sheet trying to figure it out than playing lol. Level 65 got 2 PP, Shavs, and everything else is just rares until I figure this out...

Edit: Not trying to complain, just genuinely confused :D Having an absolute blast with the build and I'd like to take it all the way!

It isn't too bad, get a decent str roll on a belt and dex on your elder ring, you can get some dex on your boots, it is especially easy if you're running Sin Treks. Another option is the +30 nodes on the tree... The Practical Application node, as well as str/ dex on jewels.

We also don't run with crazy high requirements, typically it is something like 114 dex and about the same str.
Hey guys, would you mind looking at my profile and see what I can do next? can I buy voidbringer gloves and put the auras in there even though I can't afford enlighten level 4? My single target is really awful and idk how to fix it.
nvm -_-

Hey guys, playing at a latency of 7ms-9ms

1)Would u guys recommend 3.76AS or 3.80AS? Or no noticeable difference between these 2?

2)The node Arcane Vision, how important is it? Light Radius doesn't seem worth a point to me.

Hi Cyrix1337!

Sorry for my English i'm French ;)

I'm trying your build and it's pretty cool to play with :)

Actuality i have this stuff:




Weapon for Clear/Boss:


I gave nearly the same three as your and the Watcher's Eye.

I playing with Arctic Armour, Herald of Thunder, Discipline, Purity and Wrath at the same time.

I can't activate Spider for the time... need to enchant my helmet with 30% mana reservation for Arctic Armour.

I have a question. When do you activate Phase Run? I don't see it on you'r video :

hey, i know I'm CI, not LL, but after respec, my dps is sooo low, i can't even kill boss in t10. My last char was farming elder t16.

So what am I missing? I won't be low-life, cause all chaos dmg this league.

Hey! :)

About the Video: Some of my Videos are older/from Incursion - back then Phase Run + Arcane Surge did not work the way it does now and I used an Ball Lightning Setup instead to trigger Arcane Surge.

If you want to see me useing PhaseRun please check the UberElder Video - its relativly new (Did record during Delve League) and I use PhaseRun/Surge quite a bit.

For your character: You need to break the link between Cwdt/IC and PhaseRun/ArcaneSurge for it to work.

Best of luck on getting that helmet entchant!
