To add to this question, should we use ball lightning if we run slave drivers? (since they are lightning damage)

But this build uses EE, if your minion is also lightning how you going to do damage?

I was able to channel ball lightning, after the patch I can't channel it anymore. IDK why and I haven't changed anything on my character since the patches because I went to play metamorph league for a bit. I don't think you can channel with a wand, I switched to a Sai and was able to channel. Then to a mace and channel fine. Now I can't channel ball lightning anymore.

@ DigitalBeating: Melee channel skills, like Charged Dash and Cyclone, require a melee weapon. A wand will not work. Make sure you didn't accidentally hit X to Weapon Swap, that your tree is still intact if it's an old character, that no items are disabled from not meeting stat requirements, that the gems and links are all properly accounted for, that you have enough mana available, and that the Channelling skill is on your skill bar and not the triggered spell.

@ xaeror35: Avatar of Fire keystone (1 passive point), or use a Fire spell (Armageddon Brand, Firestorm with Spell Cascade), or add flat Fire Damage to a Physical skill.

Avatar of Fire only converts 50% of damage. So its still going to do lightning damage, yes?

Here's what I'm running now and corrupted T16's feel like T4's. This build is nasty as hell. 6.5k life and 3.2 es without spirit offering, feels pretty tanky.

Edit: One thing I'm messing around with is deciding whether Feeding Frenzy on Spectres might be better than Phantasms. Reason being, I don't really feel like Phantasms do much DPS for one, but more importantly when I'm fighting a super rippy metamorph boss and I'm having to run in circles to dodge constantly, my Spectres are not engaging the boss. When I put in FF, they are after that boss with the fury of a thousand suns regardless of what I'm doing. Those T16 metamorph bosses are really the only thing so far that can give me any trouble at all (outside of Sirus of course).

Curious on your thoughts, Hercanic.

Yes the gem was patched. It's still possible but very difficult.

Ah okay thanks

Not that difficult, corrupted Empower gem and +1 spectre boots. I couldn't get BBBBGG on my chest so I went with BBBBGR after too many chromatics.

How are you healing with no life on hit?

It's giving up a lot or making it very expensive just to get the 4th spectre back which isn't a huge deal anyway.

For coloring sockets, you can use the crafting bench. There's an option to craft 2 green sockets for 25 chromatics.

No. With Avatar of fire you ONLY deal fire damage. If you are not converting the remaining 50% to fire damage then that damage just disappears.

What stones to put in the ring, elemental army, animated guardian and what two to insert last? To the hungry.
