"Is the 8+8+12% lightning damage with 2% cast speed better than the three 10% elemental damage nodes in Shadow?"

- yes, a bit better, because 2% cast speed is like 5% elem. damage, point more, point less.


"Do you really need Vaal Pact and US? That's a ton of skillpoints for those two"

- I tried without US, but with my fast gameplay I have too many desyncs and character is not playable for me.

--------------------------------

About Vaal Pact, it's very nice mechanic, but still I don't know if it's better with or without, for example with "reflect mod" i would to prefer without, and lot of regeneration maybe.

But in general, VP works pretty well.

Now I'm building a new (more tanky) arcer for hardcore without VP:

Shock Nova? Useless. :(

New "cannon" build here, trying to keep the Vaal Pact, and rising the crit damage, I find this new build is pretty interesting.

Near 20k DPS and life leech instant.

Critical hits shock too, so I have near 37% chanche to shock (49% with Conductivity).

I'm good with random reflects, having 84% Light Res (85% with legacy Saffell).

Atm it's a bit extreeme, because with a tabula rasa and with not much life, I risk some one shot, but with some more Life/Armour on equipment I should be pretty safe also.

I will post some upgrades, working on the tree.

See You.

Build Updated

2.0.2 READY

Leveled to 95, taken two more jewelers, one utility and one Healthy Mind. the build is pretty the same but improved some items and get 400 more free mana, that's very good for a Mind over Matter build.

Best Arc Build Ever.

Are unique items mandatory for this build?

Uniques are not required, but it's useful to play some of them especially on some map mods for example:

- Low mana regen: can be useful to play Perandus Signet, or Dream Fragments
- No mana regen: Berek's Grip and Lavianga's Spirit can be very good
- Reflect maps or hard elemental damage maps: Saffel is really good, also Sybil's Lament seems good
- Rainbowstride and Ligthning Doryani's Invitation are generally very good and cheap also.
- Healhy Mind jewel to move some Life to Mana, it's very nice.

Lvl 96!

Some minor updates and considerations.

See You.

hi there! how does void batter work on this build?

This build does not include charges, so Void Battery is not good.

Rare wands, scepters, daggers are good in dual welding for DPS.

With weapon and shield you have more defences but lower DPS, they can be used in some hard fight or bad map mods, like a Saffell for reflect elemental damage maps for example.

See you.
