Any time I encounter lightning damage it melts my face instantly. Like the Shavronne on t14 Tower map, any projectile one shots me and the tiniest bit of lightning damage shocks/stuns me. It honestly feels like I'm running around with -71% lightning resist (which I am, but it's not supposed to matter?). Is there anything I can do to figure this out? Any help much appreciated. I feel like I'm losing it. Same here, i finded mob(blue) and got oneshoted from basic lightning attack. 4700hp+2000es, 28k armor(86%) and -106 light res. Maybe doryany broken or something? Yeah I'm not entirely sure, PoB seems to have a problem calculating Lightning Damage mitigation with Doryani's because I've noticed too that my EHP is way lower than what PoB shows under calculations. I'm afraid I dont have any easy solution other than try to get more armour, Jade flask+Iron Reflexes seems like the most viable solution to me, or possibly just a basalt with a % armour roll instead of Silver Flask and get another source of onslaught. I now have Onslaught on kill as a scourge mod on my boots, can also just get rare boots with onslaught veiled mod/crafted mod. Your experience right now then would suggest that Doryani's Prototype is working, and the lightning defense does scale on armor, it's just a whole lot lower than 75% resist would normally be? I've got about 86% estimated phys reduction from armor now since I'm really stacking more ES. Is there any target number that you found viable? There are a few things that honestly seem impossible to survive with my character as-is. :( Currently standing around with auras active I'm at 27.6k armor, 4,261 life, and 2,034 ES, along with 1 minimum endurance charge.

hmm so ive been thinking as a potential swap later you could try energy blade generals cry blade flurry. was actually thinking this could work for a fun swap(tree wouldnt need to change drastically overall) dont quite have the currency to give this a test but could be something to mess around with	Posted by shadowraiden#0808 on Nov 7, 2021, 9:26:30 PM Quote this Post
Can we use energy blade without doriant prototype?	Posted by 808mafia#4781 on Nov 7, 2021, 11:13:38 PM Quote this Post

There is a way with damage taken shifting from light to cold (we can overstack up to 87% cold res, or even more) with talisman. With doriani we have 0 light res(if i understand it right) without armour, even if there -130 in tooltip, so with 50% conversion its about 44%. Didn't test it much, but looks good. Talisman with 100% shifting cost 15+ ex and other mods are shit Last edited by Dartiuseg#6346 on Nov 8, 2021, 5:50:40 AM	Posted by Dartiuseg#6346 on Nov 8, 2021, 2:12:41 AM Quote this Post

Snx tbh i would if u cant get the chest i wouldnt do this type of lightning strike its kinda setup to make use of it. your better off just going typical lightning strike setup with a normal weapon. also 6L aint difficult this league thanks to tainted fusings so even on console it shouldnt be too bad	Posted by shadowraiden#0808 on Nov 8, 2021, 2:50:36 PM Quote this Post
Yup I'm probably quiting after failing this build. I spent all my saved up exalts about 10 ex into this and getting 1 shot by white mobs. I have 97% phy mitigation???????????? Is prototype bugged ?	Posted by theforsakenking#2359 on Nov 8, 2021, 3:29:45 PM Quote this Post
One recommendation, especially for Scourge. Get a 8% Phasing abyss jewel. Makes a world of difference. 8% is enough as it procs constantly with how many times we hit.	Posted by diablomix#4350 on Nov 9, 2021, 12:37:55 AM Quote this Post
Will try phasing(loved running with it in minion build - haste/phase) Experimenting with and 88% cold res. Feels much better, delved 200+ without death, 1 death from metamorf and stuck few times in scourge mobs(14+ maps), no oneshots. Made utility flasks with shock reduce effect + refill charges on crit and reuse on full charge. Downside is less damage output with amulet like this. Love the build for clearspeed and its synergy with league mechanic.	Posted by Dartiuseg#6346 on Nov 9, 2021, 4:04:04 AM Quote this Post
