I'm having tons of fun with it. It took me a long time to find out the "perfect" version of the build. I'll just keep the guide simple and straight.



Annnnd, here we go.





Yeah yeah, I know what does it look like. "Another copycat of the typical Lightning Tendrils CWC Arc build".



But the demon's always in the detail, and every part of my build is important . I'll just start with the cons of this build.



Cons

Spoiler

-Cannot run elemental reflex maps.

-Not very cheap, no good for starters.



What? pros? nah, just the typical "clear speed" "damage" "fairly tanky"blah blah.

Just a short showcase video recorded by my potato pc, lots of frame drops. If you need some other videos plz tell me, I'll do it if I can (though I don't think it's that necessary).

Items

Spoiler



These are my current items.

Now, allow me to explain.

As we know, we're using Mind Over Matter here, so Mind of the Council is the most important item here. It gives you up to 30% max mana, and 3% of mana recovered after every shock you have applied, which means that your mana is almost unlimited.



As for Inpulsa, I don't really think I need to explain this, it's just too good for clearspeed and damage, AND you don't get shocked, so no downsides for the Mind of Council.





You want damage? Here you are with 9 power charges. Dual wield please.





MORE damage, give you a free Wrath (22% more lightning spell damage) with no mana reserved, why not?





And here comes the best synergy with the Wrath+EssenceWorm.

Life, Mana, already good. The aura effect you need is this "15% light. penetration with Wrath" which provides lots of damage.







This one is optional. The issue we have here is too many uniques, you might not get enough resistance if you add this to the build. Well, I managed to cap my res, cost me a few Exalts.

-If, you cannot cap your res with this, use Warlord's Mark in the gem link and get yourself a rare ring.

-And if you can, just use Enfeeble for toughness. More details are below in the "Gems" section.





And at last, get some "stun recovery" if possible, QoL improvement and safer.

Path of Building

Spoiler https://pastebin.com/8HnWvsjD

The 1M DPS to shaper is actually with Vaal Haste, and the items are not even optimized, just an example.



Why not Inquisitor?

Spoiler It's just better with this build and setup. If you have any doubt feel free to ask, I'll try to explain to you. I've been playing this for quite a while, and I think I ought to share my build causeIt took me a long time to find out the "perfect" version of the build.

Well the "very fast regen" might be the leech AND the potion doing its work....sorry if it's a bit confusing



I don't really rely on the ES, this is a Mind Over Matter build, with 5000+ hp & 2000+ mana, that makes my effective hp over 7000+. and thanks to the Council of the Mind (recovers 3% mana per shock), plus my Warlord's mana leech, the mana recovery can be extremely fast.



As for t16 and shaper, u'll just need to position yourself to avoid big income damages (Shaper's flash-slam, Phoenix's explosion, etc). Not to mention that lighning warp is mobile enough for short distance positioning. (killed all of them already, honestly not hard at all) Well the "very fast regen" might be the leech AND the potion doing its work....sorry if it's a bit confusingI don't really rely on the ES, this is a Mind Over Matter build, with 5000+ hp & 2000+ mana, that makes my effective hp over 7000+. and thanks to the Council of the Mind (recovers 3% mana per shock), plus my Warlord's mana leech, the mana recovery can be extremely fast.As for t16 and shaper, u'll just need to position yourself to avoid big income damages (Shaper's flash-slam, Phoenix's explosion, etc).

How important are the mana leech on the gloves? Also what about using alira if we are lacking resistances and why do you take the precision node wouldnt a jewel be better? Last edited by Skeletzor on Jan 10, 2018, 12:09:33 PM Posted by
