I'm wondering what gems should I but now, either awakened lightning pen(5.1m dps with high crit chance) or awakened controlled destruction(5.8m dps but lower crit chance)

That's a good question.
With Awakened Controlled Destruction I have much more DPS on PoB but only 96% crit. Is 100% crit important?

hey guys, just started with this build . I really had a rough start because im not used to play a brand build, but now im alreay doin fine and lovein it so far.
Thanks for this awesome guide!

Im not sure what to upgrade next, i thought about headhunter but this would be a long way to go. some juicy jewels would be great but i actually need the dex atm. got like 30ex to spend
Maybe you guys can help me out a bit :)

Thanks!


Edit: my aoe/mapping is good,I think I’m lackin single target

Big shoutout to Fyregrass, ive been playing this build since league start (sort of casually) but I was kind of stuck. He spent his time to help me rearrange my tree and with extremely minor budget upgrades he made me a killing machine.

Thanks for your time and effort, I am looking forward to your next league's build !

- Your ascension already gives elusive on crit, so why the boots? Get new ones with dex or Replica Inya's epiphany.
- The 30 points into strength don't seem necessary to me, so that's one free point.
- You're pretty much crit capped, so I don't think you need the diamond flask.
- Storm brand ain't an attack, so your ring mod does nothing. Pretty sure there's free space there for dex.
- Your other ring should be replaced. Ele damage to attack mod does nothing.
- Now that you have extra dex, you can replace some gems. Get a watcher's eye.

Hey Fyregrass,

First i'd like to say thanks for all the work you put in the build and the help you give to everyone.

I come to you because i don't really know what i should focus for the next upgrade, everything seems really expensive now but maybe i'm missing something !

Thank you !

Hi! I am thinking about trying out this build but I am a little confused about resistances, especially chaos which seems to be even -40 in the PoB. Is this not a problem or does chaos damage somehow get mitigated by something?

I think the general plan is just to leave it low. This build is not built to survive things - rather to kill things before they can hurt you. Although I did find a nice Watcher's Eye that combines with Purity of Elements nicely. So I dropped Discipline to go this route.

Just beat The Feared - boy they all died quickly! That was fun! Going to post my gear and take on things so far. I went with Herald of Lightning which let me use two of the Regret rings with +6% Damage per Power Charge - also these rings can get the +1 Power Charge as well and are actually less expensive than the rare versions. So something to keep an eye out for. Got a nice Watcher's Eye as I needed Purity of Elements as I only have one or two rares equipped. Got some double crit multi and resist gems too. Without Vaal or other assorted things turned on I get a conservative 8.5 million DPS per brand. Having a ton of fun so far! For some defensive tech I used Endurance on Kill boots since I still have the Inspired Learning with the extra EC node. Also use Vaal Grace too.
