Hello everyone,

I wanna show you the result of me playing around with the recently added "Cast on Crit" gem combined with Cyclone and discharge. You may think that Cyclone and Discharge dont fit with each other but they synergise very well in this build and you will see why.

This build has an insane clearspeed and it also is pretty safe if you get some decent gear.

I made this build on domination and therefore I can't provide you GG gear here nor 20/20 gems.



To prove that I'm not lying with the insane clearing speed I'm gonna leave this video here, it's me with medium gear clearing merciless ledge!

Required Gear

Spoiler



Voll's protector is mandatory for this build since it provides us power charges every time!



The item's I'm gonna link now are not required for this build they just help you alot.





You want a dagger with as much crit chance as possible, 9.37 is NOT the maximum that you can possibly achieve but that's just because there was no better one until that point on this league, afaik the highest you can get on a dagger is 9.97.

In addition to high crit you can also look for spell damage on daggers but that's not required since your damage output is already insane.





Due to the Buff to Rat's nest in 1.0 it's an awesome choice for our build and it fits perfectly into it. With a close to 10% crit dagger this helmet provides us around 7% crit chance which is insane! The movement speed and the attack speed also synergise well with cyclone.





Those gloves also fit very well into our build since they provide us more damage and more crit chance, having a lot of crit is very important for our build since we want to cap out our critical strike chance to 95%.





If you can't afford some of the items I linked earlier you might think about using a diamond flask. You can see a list how the flask affects you here (http://i.imgur.com/uWbXXln.png im not taking credit for this list)

Pros



- Really fast clear speed.

- Safe farming

- High mobility

- Conduit for your party!





Cons



- Requires some unique items to work well

- Desync might be an issue since cyclone sometimes causes desync

- Due to Voll's protector we have reduced mana and the mana cost of cyclone is pretty high so but we can lower make up for that with the awesome life/mana nodes.

- Requires a 5 Link to work well





Mechanics



With alot of crit chance on our passive tree and on our gear plus a dagger with a high base critical strike chance we reach the Critical strike chance cap. The unique chestpiece Voll's protector gives us a power charge on each critical strike on an enemy, with our high crit chance that provides us always power charges.

The on the release added Skill gem cast on crit adds a chance to cast a spell on a critical strike. I chose Cyclone because it scales with Area of effect nodes like discharge does but it also attacks multiple times per second. Your single target attack is going to be frenzy because it's also going to provide you with frenzy charges and the mana cost is way lower than the mana cost from cyclone.

With the keynode vaal's pact in addition to the lifeleech gem we can survive reflect packs and also heal up in the fight.



Passive tree
