For Ball Lightning of course Precision is the worst. But missing that much crit chance for Cyclone might be a dps loss ? Check my character. I run Zealotry, Aspect, Precision and Zealotry. No level 4 enlighten needed (level 3 and some reduced mana reservation nodes). My precision is leveled up since realistically I never need more than 28 mana (4 mana for cyclone which instantly regens, and enough to also hit vortex or flame dash without going OOM. You don't need anymore mana than that unless you want to run arcane surge higher than level 5.

I noticed a lot of people in the thread are running awakened added lightning on their hammer and awakened elemental focus on their body. Is there a reason for that? Is that the best combo?	Posted by faytte#6379 on Jan 7, 2020, 1:06:45 PM Quote this Post

Is that the best combo? I'm going to switch once I get lvl 5 added lightning. Before level 5 it's just significantly worse than ele focus so I don't want to lose as much dps on my 6 link BL.

Interesting, my PoB was showing awakened ele focus as more damage, but I think my PoB fork needs to be updated.	Posted by faytte#6379 on Jan 7, 2020, 2:15:20 PM Quote this Post

Is that the best combo? One reason might be if you use Vortex with Conductivity, your lightning damage has a chance to shock. Which means, your 6L is doing much more damage. With Elemental Focus, you can't inflict ailments. Your Mainhand Ball Lightning is doing less damage than your 6L, maybe they put Added Lightning Damage in that weapon for the cost of a small dmg decrease. Maybe try yourself with PoB and add "Enemy shocked" Last edited by n00bfight3r#7845 on Jan 7, 2020, 2:23:53 PM	Posted by n00bfight3r#7845 on Jan 7, 2020, 2:22:58 PM Quote this Post

Ele Focus is slightly more damage than level 5 Added Lightning, but it's a pretty small difference so I'd rather see if I can get shocks off my big hits.

Thanks a lot for this build, I'm having a lot of fun ! I was able to get my hands on this Discipline/Zealotry Watcher's Jewel for the price of a Discipline only one. The Zealotry proc of this jewel may not be that strong but it gives me 100% uptime of Arcane Surge (on bosses and rares at least). So I'm looking for a gem to replace my Arcane Surge Support which is now useless. Any ideas ?	Posted by Kathovarh#1019 on Jan 7, 2020, 3:32:48 PM Quote this Post
