Witch - CoC Discharge Occultist - Shaper & Uber Elder down - Forum

Hello fellow Discharge fans!

Almost every league i want to make a Discharge character, but often they fall short in the dps or survivability area, especially compared to my first Mjolner Discharger back before the added the cooldowns :). This time however, i succeeded!

I will get the important stuff out there first and update as time passes.
I'll try to answer any question you might have! Videos will follow soon!

Why Occultist & pros/cons

Occultist because of multiple reasons:

Double Curse and Malediction is a great dps boost
Extra Power Charge and damage + AoE from PC
Profane Bloom makes mapping easier
A good amount of "free" ES nodes

Pros & Cons

Pros:
Can clear pretty much all content
Good Damage
Decently fast
Not crazy expensive
7k+ eHP with Eldritch Battery/MoM
Big Booms

Cons:
Needs some very specific gearsets
Low armour = squishy vs some Legion & Betrayal encounters

Bandit - Help Alira

Gear

Mandatory Gear

These are the backbone of CoC Discharge, they give your Power and Endurance Charge generation

This piece of beauty gives you the ability to run more auras, free Eldritch Battery and triggers Feast of Flesh every 5 seconds for Life/Mana/ES

You need a weapon with Hit's can't be Evaded or Lycosidae to make sure you get easy hitcap.

Recommended Gear

These next items aren't required to run the build, but i find them extremely nice and convenient for more consistent damage

The Watcher's Eye Jewel gives 300-400 ES and the Careful Planning fixes almost any Dex issues you might have, giving about 70 dex in the slot above Witch start and about 90 in the slot to the left of Witch start

Gem Links

Cyclone - Cast on Crit - Discharge - Increased Critical Strikes - Increased Critical Damage - Energy Shield Leech

This is not the optimal damage setup, however we need the Inc Crit Strikes for consistent CoC triggers, and Energy Shield Leech helps with survivability while still giving a good amount of damage, especially while leeching

Zealotry - Precision - Assassin's Mark - Blasphemy

These need to be in the helmet for the 20% reduced mana reservation

Cast when Damage Taken - Immortal Call - Increased Duration - Flame Golem

Some survivability and easy golem upkeep

Cast when Damage Taken (lvl10) - (Vaal) Blade Vortex (lvl14) - Increased Critical Strikes

Some extra hits for Power Charge upkeep on single target

Shield Charge - Faster Attacks - Fortify

Zoomzoom and Fortify

Rest

Cast when Damage Taken (lvl1) - Desecrate (lvl7)

To make corpses to get more value out of Feast of Flesh when there arent any corpses around

Flame Dash

To get over ledges

Clarity (lvl1)

Together with the Watcher's Eye Jewel this gives 300-400 extra ES
