[3.4] Teleports Behind You - Poet's Pen Lightning Warp & Arc, MF / Facetank t16 / Shaper / U. Elder
" It very well may be less DPS for single target, I haven't actually checked the numbers. It feels almost the same to me though or at least very close. I wasn't melting guardians before or after the change so having the no reflect seems like an advantage at my current level and trying to level up. After a few beers in the evening I usually stop checking the map mods when in a group and I hate the rips to the reflect. The Indigo variation did seem to have way more DPS against single target but it felt unbalanced with a lack of survivability so I'm not going back to that setup. So, I really don't think it's "better" but it does add some QoL. | |

why not use valako's sign ring ?

" Why exactly did the indigon variation feel unbalanced? How much different is the survivability? Also, wont the elemental penetration corruption on the pens be better than the base spell damage? Also how big a DPS increase are Atziris promise and Vinktars? Wont a Wise oak be better? | |

While we wait for YT to answer the other questions, I want to share a very small but impactful modification I made after my last post that seems to have a bit of "best of both worlds" feel.
I only switched two things: wrath is out, Herald of Thunder is back, but still socketed in essence worm. And i went back to mastermind of discord. I kept the conductivity/cwdt/coh/shock nova setup, and essence worm because even though the herald mana reservation with mastermind of discord is like 19%, that's all eHP because of MoM. So the more the better. Herald+discord just seems like more damage. I haven't had life sustain issues yet but only ran a few maps with it. | |

I've quickly try this one but why does my Lightning Warp takes 4-5 seconds before I can use it again? I can't seem to mimic the video where the warp is being spammed. Thanks!

" Looking at your gear, you aren't following the guide. You need two (or really 4 for boss swap) poet's pens. Here's my set up, the first two are for mapping and include arc and lightning warp. When you fire barrage (on my chest, linked below as well), lightning warp and arc will fire automatically. | |
" I'm not sure how you setup the gems in the Pens but you need the support gems for it to be fast: Lightning Warp, Swift Affliction, Lesser Duration. | |
" I've tried many of the corrupted Pen's but always seem to come back to the spell damage ones. Others have mentioned the same thing but use whatever works for you and your char. For the flasks, run whatever suits your play style and character stats. This build is so well balanced that I really don't use them much other than to counter things such as bleeding, chaos damage and also for increased movement speed. To each their own... As for Indigon, give it a try. You need to change things up a bit to get mana gained on hit in order to sustain your mana. | |
