" Exile009 wrote: For links with Molten Strike, here's my recommendations. Firstly, take both Iron Grip and Point Blank keystones. And use Hatred aura. Links-Molten Strike + Weapon Elemental Dmg + Conc. Effect + GMP + Faster Attacks + Multistrike. The idea is that that's a lot of multipliers and so every point in 'increased damage' has an outsized effect since it's multiplied by so many things (WED, Conc. Effect, Point Blank, your insane speed, etc.) Melee Physical Damage gem DOES NOT work on the projectiles (confirmed on the wiki), so drop it. GMP, meanwhile, can shotgun very effectively with this skill, especially with Conc. Effect too. You can also choose to switch either of those last two for a Fire Penetration gem or a Life Leech gem or both. A crit build would switch the last two for the 2 crit gems instead. Would mana leech from gear alone be enough to sustain mana? GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

Doesn't have to be a lie, but yeah if it's selffound Chris was incredibly lucky lol. Well considering his one goal is making one character with decent equipment and showcasing it, I find it quite believable, since he'd be using every alch and chaos he found to improve on gear, unlike most players who would rather be hoarding atleast some currency. Although admittedly he seemed to have a lot of chaos left over in inventory there at one point, rng is rng I suppose shrugs Designer of The Broken Crown Designer of The Sigil Divination Card https://www.reddit.com/user/ThisIsABuff/	Posted by cryptc#4526 on May 6, 2014, 2:35:06 AM Quote this Post

Uhm, did I miss where you showed us what gems you are using? Kind of useless without that IMHO. Looks cool though, nice survivability which is of course the key with a HardCore character. Better to kill slower and not die than kill fast but die faster :D	Posted by rampagingrabbit#6453 on May 6, 2014, 2:39:27 AM Quote this Post

Most self-found players use their currency and don't hoard it. I've not done any statistics about it, so I just went by my own playstyle, which is self-found and hoarding. I might be atypical in this though.

How do you get that gear and have 15 pure chaos orbs self found in two weeks? edit: on a positive note, excellent build video! It was well done and while I personally didn't like my first try at molten strike, I encourage others to try it since people have different tastes :D ign: Vixien Last edited by vixien#0024 on May 6, 2014, 3:08:20 AM	Posted by vixien#0024 on May 6, 2014, 2:59:53 AM Quote this Post
This is the first build of the week that has truly excited me to try it. " Chris wrote: No trading was done to make the character. This is the reason! Thank you Chris. I'm so tired of seeing builds that need a fistful of uniques (and by extension a bunch of trading) to be viable. There has to be a low point where some people stop complaining because it's just not worth it, and I have yet to see it. - Squeakypaw, 2013	Posted by obadonke#0693 on May 6, 2014, 3:21:21 AM Quote this Post
