Because lightning pen is best dps against bosses, but it only affects the gem its linked with. So you need one for arc and one for ball lightning.
Been successfully farming uber elder+doctor cards with this build, finally got my headhunter last night ^_^


What are our thoughts on using the new incursion gloves? I've noticed that using my current pair (which still need to be divined) and a higher res ring are giving me more dps than the opal ring+elder gloves set up you recommend.



Next stop: frenzy charge+ele pen corruption on pens D:

Thanks for the build. Builds map clearing speed amazing but single target i got one shot nearly every boss. İs something wrong in my build?

- Fixed a bug where Arc and Vaal Arc did not chain to monsters that the player did not have line of sight to.
- Fixed a bug where having a Vaal skill socketed in The Poet's Pen unique wand prevented casting that Vaal skill.

Nice
Can somebody please answer me 2 questions:

1.Is it better to use Shock Nova or Ball Lightning for single target?
2.Should we use Vaal Arc?
Does anyone know if they removed the reduced ball light proj speed enchant from lab?

It seems like its gone, Jim. So I guess if you want good boss damage you'll have to get double crit multi rolls on just about every jewel you have. D:

Does anyone have any extra little 2L/3L/4L utility setups they are using with this build?
I finally 5L'd my inpulsa's (Noluck on 6L sadly), and I don't really like using Frenzy for PP builds, so that's not in my gloves despite having FA+AttackSpeed gloves.

I've got the OoS setup, CwDT IC (MAybe I'll add Inc Dur to this and something else), a well as HoT CoH AssMark.

Absolutely use Vaal Arc. I was running it on a 2L(Faster casting) before this patch, it is INSANE when you can finally use a vaal arc, it increases your damage basically by double. Basically applies a much larger shock or something that lasts long and does wild damage and increases arc damage for a time as well. Also makes you 'lucky' when using arc for a short time.


Ball Lightning is insane single target, haven't tried shock nova, but I did try storm call.... MEH.

I have been running this build since start, and it works wonders for both maps and bosses with good enough gear. I have all the mandatory uniques and some half decent rares that I aim to swap for stronger pieces.

I facetanked red elder and his guardians on t13maps and higher without a problem due to barrage and LoH + Mind of the council + arc and lightningball. the sustain is great as long as you dont get 1shotted.

one thing I noticed (on Cutedogs stream, shoutout) is that we once again can reach overcharged with intuitive leap jewel. I tried it out and it works pretty well. what we lose is one jewel and that we swap a (for me inc% life) talent node, but so far it feels like an improvement.
the endurance charges gives another layer of defense both in the cahrges themselves but also in longer IC, and I dont have to run frenzy for charges (can sustain frenzycharges with overcharges and bloodrage).
But the biggest improvement is that you dont need to run assasins mark for power charges, and can swap it for either tempchains or enfeeble for more defense (since damage isnt a problem). Im still running pcoc in orb of storms for bosses though.

have anyone else tried running overcharged and swapping around some gems?


I haven't tried this yet, but I damn sure will when Iget a chance (1 level away from being able to, then just need to buy the gem) seems like a nice QoL boost.
Would love to play the build... But im afraid of Reflect... im running only burial chambers mf... is that reflect issue?
