Lightning Tendrils does not work well with most other ways of damage amplification for spells.



Spell Echo roots you in place for a long time,

Crit procs for the whole cast.

Added Damage is hardly noticeable



So i went for a different approach:



- High Spelldamage

- All AoE nodes

- Curse Effectiveness for resist curses

- Shock Chance to deal more damage and keep herald of thunder active at all times



I am using quad curse

- Warlord's Mark

- Elemental Weakness

- Assassin's mark

- Temporal Chains







Gear:





Build (Level 90 V1.3):

Skills:

4-link Lightning Tendrils

Tendrils + Faster Casting + Empower + Concentrated Effect / Lightning Penetration



6-link Lightning Tendrils + Curse on Hit + Warlord's Mark + Elemental Weakness + Assassin's Mark + Temporal Chains



3-link Vaal Storm Call in +2 Weapon/Shield

Vaal Storm Call + Spell Echo + Increased Duration / Crit Multi / 2nd vaal Storm Call



Herald of Ice + Herald of Thunder + Empower + Life Leech





Warlord's Mark glues the whole build together

- Capped Leech almost alone from Herald of Thunder for both life and mana

- Endurance Charges for Immortal Call

- Permastun for Rares and some Bosses



My items are definetely on the more expensive side but it worked selffound from normal to merciless (started to equip stuff from stash at level 53).



Starts off strong, remains strong (already did 76 maps at level 78), scales through every single bit of gems, items and passive tree until everything is 21/20 and you dont run out of good nodes until you are level 110 or so.

You should have named it Ice Nova+HoT Build.

You hardly use Lightning Tendrils(maybe only to proc HoT). After the initial Ice Nova all mobs are nearly dead anyway. Lightning strikes from HoT finishes them off.



I am just describing what I saw in the video. LT is used like 20% of the time.

Maybe it's because Ice Nova is much better than LT??? Just a thought.

i think you are mistaking herald of thunder with vaal storm call :).



ice nova hardly does any damage if it doesnt crit. lightning tendrils becomes more important the more hp opponents have. i think you are mistaking herald of thunder with vaal storm call :).ice nova hardly does any damage if it doesnt crit. lightning tendrils becomes more important the more hp opponents have.

This is a very nice build. I was surprised at the effects !



Although I,m a member of the poorer player class, it works quite well with lower level gear.



My only hate is the enemies that move at AI speed, but that,s true for all the builds I have tried.



Many thanks for this guide, I,m going to be using this from now on......just hope I can find better gear :-)) Posted by
