*[Update]* Please check the updated Thor build kzread.info/dash/bejne/h4h817h6o9jJYdI.html as this nuke synergy is no longer viable post the 1.1 Patch nerf.

Awesome build

Great build ..thx :)

Your build looks very nice. Awesome explanation buddy! I do have a question. Did you try out pvp with it? Maybe with dagger + focus instead of two handed

@ayajamesaya

Жыл бұрын

I haven't tried any PvP yet but it would be fun to try. I would say at least swapping the 2nd passive for Chain Lightning to Greater Chain Lightning is a must have for PvP optimization. As for weapons, from my limited understanding in PvP, it is quick paced. Usually it is one person oneshots another. If it is true then I would recommend using two handed for bigger burst damage. Cooldown Reductions would not be that helpful since a battle ends in 3s.

hi there, can you explain(6.26) why you pref get more critD instead of ligthD... ok you ll get more critbucket, but you will loose base damage rigth ? isn't %damage / %elem / uping the base damage of our spell (like nonphysical%from paragon board), then you ll multiply by additive bucket x crit x vulenrable then best base damage should give the best damage output ?

This build is designed for that Nuke moment. Crit uptime will be ~100% because of 40+ base crit chance + Elementalist Aspect 40% + Chain Lightning passive to add 3% Crit Chance per Chain + Coursing Currents. I have 750% Damage to and 350% Crit Damage So (350+30)*750 > (750 - 30)*350

I've been following your videos for a while now and just give a big kudos to you for perfecting the lightening and proving it's viable in the endgame! I have a quick question - Would you recommend this version, or any of your earlier variations (firework, thor and the lvl73 version) to a level 68? I don't have a raiment of infinity yet.

@ayajamesaya

Thank you for supporting! It means a lot to me and hope you had fun trying any of the variations. Without Raiment of Infinity, I will recommend the Chain Lightning Conjuration from kzread.info/dash/bejne/hWuHu9Kup9PIeto.html As it would not be easy to trigger immobilize from Flame Shield for a group of enemies. Replacing it with Lightning Spear offers stable stun/Crowd Control sources for both survivability and damage. Plus conjuration mastery for further damage and Ice Blades for further Vulnerable uptime. And the boots aspect is designed for fast movement for a smooth and efficient farming experience. The Chain Lightning Conjuration is still my favorite All-Rounder without Raiment.

Any tips on survivability without flame shield and and ice armor (this is another thing that I like about this build for not having to use 4 defensive skills) 3. When do you advise to spec into this final perfected version of build? What must be met besides having raiment? Thank you!

Nice! Glad it helped. For questions, 1. Usually you can go whatever combat style you like. As mentioned in this spot kzread.info/dash/bejne/hWuHu9Kup9PIeto.html if you can keep the mana close to full from casting Spark/grabbing Crackling Energy in between casting Chain Lightning, it will have a big damage boost. 2. Use Topaz instead of Ruby as mentioned at kzread.info/dash/bejne/hWuHu9Kup9PIeto.html as only one Unstoppable Skill(Teleport) is run. 3. Once acquiring Raiment, you can choose between Thor, Fireworks or This Nuke build. All are good farming builds. with Thor to be the most consistent fight experience and good visuals Fireworks to be the greatest visuals and sounds but will need consistent weapon switch between boss and non-boss Chain Lightning Nuke to be burst damage driven. The combat(Teleport position & Cooldown Management) has a learning curve to get used to. It will be less effective than Thor at the beginning but will be the most effective for pushing high tier NM dungeon once mastered.
