[3.4] Teleports Behind You - Poet's Pen Lightning Warp & Arc, MF / Facetank t16 / Shaper / U. Elder

Does anyone have a view on how beneficial it may or may not be to use an Intuitive Leap jewel on the jewel slot to the right of the class starting area, and spending a point in Overcharged in order to generate a bunch of charges?

I've been trying this out in maps and I see I often have a full set of charges up, but I just wonder if I'm over-killing and the points could be spend better elsewhere, like a well rolled rare jewel or something.

arc doesnt benefit from elemental damage with attack skills right?

That's what I'm running right now. It works great for mapping and leveling your character up toward 100. I don't think it's the best to fill out your atlas though. I think you can have more single target DPS getting as many jewel slots as possible and getting more life/spell damage/etc. But for me currently, I'm going to try to level this char up and not worry about atlas or bosses at the moment so having those charges helps a lot. The only thing I haven't done yet is uber elder and I may respec out of Overcharged and grab another jewel slot when/if that time comes.

Correct; however, damage from barrage and frenzy do benefit.

Would using Paragon of Calamity permanently be survivability overkill? Would love to be able to do ele-reflect maps and die less often, DPS already feels awesome.

I'm playing with Paragon since the beguining, I made some change due to my Shapper ring (I'm not using barrage at all), I don't like the auto-lightning warp so I'm using only one Poet's Pen setup (got tons of movespeed btw)+ Essence Worms / Wrath that allows me to use a Watcher's Eye with pen and crit, and if you play smartly you just can't die, my helmet enchant gives me a perfect balanced mana pool for MoM, Shaper or Elder (or guardians) die in a sec, Uber Atziri and Uber Elder need a bit of knowledge to be done deathless, I can do ANY map mob (I'm not even reading them), I'm actualy omw to lvl 100 and the only things that I can't kill is the max block / CWDT boy in HOGM, feel free to see my char :).

interesting setup. do the temple gloves effect spells also? i was under the impression they were only for regular attacks.

i followed suit with other replies about using intuitive leap and dropping frenzy altogether, but in your setup you still mainly use frenzy. i'll probably play around with a setup similar to yours since i'm trying to build around elder essence + mark of the shaper for huge dps boosts in addition to being able to use a nice watchers eye to further take advantage of wrath.

how much mana do you have total + unreserved with the hot enchant + enlighten?

i was also thinking about using an enlighten setup for hot, but cant decide if i want to use a 6L elder glove approach for barrage setup and putting a 6L hot in inpulsas or if i want to just put the hot setup in gloves

FYI, Some items that I've found useful:


- Voidbringer; spell crit chance especially against bosses that are often curse resistant. The added mana cost is not noticeable.

- Temple mod on boots 11% spell dodge. This boots also has a spell dodge enchant.

- A jewel for blind, discussed above in this thread. So, it substitutes for the need of a blind support gem.

- A simple decoy totem can be very useful against some bosses.

Would it be crazy to use a 6l inpulsa for a selfcast ball lightning for single target instead while swapping weapons to traditional spell casting. (Cast speed, lightning spell damage)

Ball lightning - inc crit chance - spell echo - slow proj - lightning pen - inc crit damage

It would lose the life on hit from barrage... but I suspect it may be much better dps.
