This build is from patch 0.8.0d (We are now in 0.8.1c)
In the release of patch 0.8.1 they changed prefixes and suffixes around. Some of the items in this build cannot be crafted in the same order or even in the same slot as is.
Ill try to update this build soon
For Now when it comes to lightning i recommend @FoE nova boi
Yes it scales with both of those as well as spell damage
Penetration is infact very powerful. Add some if you like it will increase your DPS, i didnt find that i needed to change anything around for it at the time since the DPS was already accomadating.
Ill probly get this one wrong, but i believe bosses DONT have any resist they have a for of DR. but Resist can go negative so by getting penetration your still doing a “more” damage modifier.
Ones going to be very hot, the other ice cold
This probly related to the +adaptive spell damage while channeling on chest/helm as well as Damage increase while channeling since we are not channeling during teleporting
on penetration - oh ok, that makes sense then. so while its great stat, its simply similar to other sources of multiplicative dmg. what about non boss enemies? do they all have 0 resist unless otherwise specified like the fire scorpions?
on teleport novas- even when im not wearing any channeling dmg gear the they hit for much less than the casted one
Yes because when they go off you are channeling and most thing that affect channeling is WHILE channeling which is what your doing when they go off. Its why say on Warpath builds have secondary affects or other skills proc like SMITE are powerful because you can get damage increase while channeling and then those skills do more damage while your warpathing.
I’ve noticed with “% chance to cast elemental nova when hit” on an idol, if I trigger it while channeling focus it will continue to channel elemental nova for free for the duration of channeling focus. You do have to be hit but I wonder if stacking some of that and being able to channel both simultaneously could be a good strategy. I found an ashen crown while leveling so being able to channel focus on close mobs then hover my mouse over far ones for when the on hit effect procs is pretty nice.
Thanks! Actually, it does work that way, at least right now. It might be bugged. If you are channeling focus and proc it while having the channeling passive for nova it will continuously channel both until you stop channeling focus. If it didn’t work that way in the past likely unintended.
Hi there, first off, loving all your builds so far, this one looks very fun and i want to start playing this build. Would this build still be viable for the current patch?
I didn’t see any updated build planner, so I took a shot at updating this build for 0.8.1E
I actually haven’t played this build yet, it just looked interesting. Because of the changes to gear, I did my best and picking some gear. I went with more health over dodge in general. (I really just don’t like dodge builds).
He’s referring to the Tier 5 Flat mana as suffix.
This was possible in 0.8.0d
In patch 0.8.1 they removed that option from staffs and mana is now a prefix on a few gear slots.
Ty for so quick reply. Is it possible to reach above 400 mana now? or should i make some other changes? Im kinda new in last epoch and that’s the 1st build i chose to make
You can still get 1000 mana without any exalted items.
Aim for mana on a few other pieces of gear
Relic
Boots
Catalyst
Body Armor
Helmet
Amulet
And then aim for % increased mana idols. 400 Should be easy enough especially if you throw on Unique oriens eye for 100+ flat mana and take all mana node passives in passive trees.
