" Fangs wrote: If my understanding is correct, OP procs Elemental Equilibrium with lightning on their wand first, thus allowing the Ice Spear and Fireball to deal tons of damage because of the 50% drop. If the ice spear and fireball struck at the same time it would do even more damage. This is assuming the 1st initial hit isn't calculated at the exact same time as Ice Spear/Fireball. I'm relatively new to the game so I don't fully understand the mechanics but my guess would be it doesn't all happen simultaneously, otherwise the dmg would be poor because monsters would just get a 25% boost to everything except chaos/phys. Anyways, nice build OP, was looking for a change of pace from my 1st build of dual claws, gonna give this concept a whirl. Making a CI variant though. Though I'm not a 100% sure that CoC is rolled only once (I think it is though) there's no such thing as "striking at the exact same time". The server needs to "pile" events, and treat them one at a time. Barrage hits, lightning damage from "The Taming" procs EE (+25% light, -50% Frost / Fire) hopefully it's a crit, and it does proc the CoC Gems. Arc is instant so it will likely hit first. Ice spear travels slightly faster than Fireball due to the 20%q bonus. But it is likely that another "barrage" projectile will hit between Ice Spear and Fireball. Eventually proccing another arc, etc, etc... TL ; DR : Lightning damage suffers a little from EE (though you still get the %chance to shock) but both fire and cold always get a huge bonus. To learn is to live...	Posted by Stakhanov#1261 on Jan 30, 2014, 12:38:34 PM Quote this Post

I would recommend leveling as burning discharge with a 6L item such as tabula rasa and searing touch until you hit enough crit chance to use cast on crit Main characters: Deep_water - AnomaIy - Artica Build guides: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1602863	Posted by DreamScythe#1384 on Feb 8, 2014, 2:45:47 AM Quote this Post
If anyone was looking to craft an endgame wand for this build, I hit glyphic (%0.081 chance to hit) and the 2nd highest crit chance on an ilvl 79 imbued. Took 4exalts worth of alts to hit glyphic and 3 eternal augments to hit crit chance. If you want to buy for how much it cost to make, 10ex I think i'm gonna get out of the crafting game. @Doge_This_DPS Last edited by Masterswotl#1047 on Feb 8, 2014, 3:05:53 AM	Posted by Masterswotl#1047 on Feb 8, 2014, 3:05:27 AM Quote this Post

While I'm glad that somebody finally found a use for barrage (as direct damage it was just about useless), I'm wondering if spectral throw would work better due to the ridiculous amount of hits it procs. Have you tried that?	Posted by Det_Nosnip#3880 on Feb 18, 2014, 2:10:12 AM Quote this Post
that would be using a dagger. I used to have a CoC dagger build but this one does way more damage. Main characters: Deep_water - AnomaIy - Artica Build guides: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1602863	Posted by DreamScythe#1384 on Feb 18, 2014, 6:48:58 PM Quote this Post
