For crafting I Play evanescence and turn my hate backwards. @LizardIRL can vouch it works
I’d hope for nothing less than the average of at least 5 attempts, where you played as well as you could (i.e. not tired or drunk etc). Or you could “employ” a small staff to run it for you and average all the results. I’m sure there’d be plenty of volunteers.
Back on target with this Mage…
Are you sure the skill interactions work as intended? I have Disintegrate with 100% chance to cast Lightning Blast, but I can see no evidence that this is actually happening except for the odd crit appearing, which cannot be the Disintegrate. However my Lightning Blast is still specced to fork 6 times against different targets (will change that soon). I was expecting to see it chaining across multiple enemies every second it procs, but nope.
If you have 4 points in chance to proc it Should proc 1x Per Second that your Hitting Enemies Per Beam you have. There’s been several hotfixes since i ran it so it could have possibly gotten corrupted, but in 0.8.1c it was definitely working.
Edit:
Waiting on multiple people to get exactly the same gear and push it while possibly have to pay them if they dont volunteer seems very counterintuitive when i could just Replace the entire rating system with a simple headline of “Go play for heavens sake and figure it out”
Question: Are Damage While Channelling, Lightning Damage and Spell Damage equivalent for this build? Are their tier ranges the same etc? Any point in picking one over another?
Yes they are all equivalent with the same ranges on affixes.
I am currently just arriving at Lagon’s island with this build, around level 50. I have to say the moment I took the Laser Focus node for Disintegrate, the build felt like its strength took a nose dive. It was melting everything up till then (albeit with Mana Issues on bosses, forcing me to run Focus on my skill bar), but now it feel weak as a kitten. Persevere? Did anyone else feel this way?
Weak? Then you may have hard times because there is a difficulty peak in Lagon’s Island.
We shall see. My yard stick for how good a build is ultimately going to be is always how I do in the campaign with it. If the build has potential, I will get through the campaign with zero deaths. If I die in the campaign it’s usually a sign to give up on the build. Hasn’t happened very often, perhaps only one or two builds.
I think I only succeeded twice in doing the campaign without dying. It’s not only a matter of build, it’s also a matter of player skill.
Yeah, I also feelt that. Also I got a feeling that Disintigrate scales a bit strange, because I fealt very overpowered at start, but weaker and weaker at higher level. I’m lvl 69 now, and it still dont feel as strong as before, but at least better.

OK I dislike this build for the Arena, it’s too immobile for my playstyle. I am going to try changing it a bit and incorporating Static. My question is, if I spec Static so that its Overload casts Lightning Blast instead of Zap, and I put 4 points into Unstable, will Static cast 4 Lightning Blast per second if there are 4 enemies near me?
I don’t know. I just started using Static recently so I’m not very familiar with it. So far I’d say it can hit up to four more enemies, unless you have the node in Lightning Blast that makes it single target.
It doesnt knock you out of channeling Disintegrate (tested)…however, you might want to Tele or Flame ward to reposition or absorb a heavy ability and if you are out of mana in that exact moment you`re screwed. QQ though - what are your thoughts on taking Frontloaded, instead of Blingind light/Halo effect - pros/cons?
I wonder: do Superconductor and Short Circuit ever proc, since only thing I cast is Disintegrate, and that does not hit?
The Lightning Blast proc’d by Disintegrate would hit which would then proc more Lightning Blasts via Superconductor.
Will this work for low life with chest and boots? If yes, what other changes should i make? This gonna be my first Sorcerer so any advice can be helpful
If you go low life, i would get the resistances max and get ride of all the endurance as well as leech.
Ty! I’ll definitely try it and share my results
How did you test twinbeam procing double LB’s? I don’t see any difference with it
