This setup has been absolutely melting bosses in every tier (have only pushed to T13 so far - don't typically go into red maps until 90+). I would say that it kills quicker then BV, you don't have to constantly cast it, and it still synergizes perfectly with the conc Templar nodes we take but offers you a little more range. It is ready always, as soon as you need it. BV, fully elementally converted will most likely do more damage at 15-20 stacks if you can keep them up, but this requires using hrimburn which i'm not a fan of personally, especially because I am using new shaper gloves with faster proj and my spark setup in them.
Another good thing about the setup is in really crappy layout maps that aren't open, I have been just using this instead of spark. It still triggers our OP chest lightsplosions and clears full rooms of packs the second you touch them with tendrils.
dude, thank you for that. The thing holding me back from checking this out was BV. It's so...meh. This is baller!!
Does Chernobog's curse "on hit" work with spells??

Yes spark hits...
The problem with the LT/GC setup is that it will not shock highend bosses... at least when I did phoenix today it felt so. Has someone else done some guardins, shaper or uber atziri with it?

But BV wouldn't either, so isn't that point moot?
If you can’t shock „elemental focus“ gives much more dps than controlled destruction. According to PoB an average hit with BV with 20 stacks desls about 85. - 90k dmg ... with inpulsa and bit crit luck I think it is possible to shock high life enemies. Normally you need deal 1% of total enemies hp with s hit to shock. With a good rolled inpulsa it is much less.
Really can't understand why so many people are complaining about BV. It is much better then GC or LT imo when it comes to DPS. GC is not bad but without Long Winter jewels dps is not that high and even with 2 of those it still not even close to BV. Understand that people can hate skill playstyle but math don't lie :P.
In addition, you can have let say 15-16 stacks of BV and still cast Spark or EK for example.
If I remember correctly, Mathil did EK/BV build in 3.0 and BV damage was like 1.2 milion on 20 stacks. Neither GC nor LT can achieve that result. LT can maybe hit for 300k with TOP gear and helm enchant which is similar to EK.
Crafted this with ~100alts ~20aug, 1 regal, 1 exalt (the mana, meh). 13% more dam, Tooltip warrior best warrior.
Well more tooltip does not really mean more dps...our offense is based on invetiable judgement don't forget that. The penetration is never shown in tooltip. Also have you also included the lightning bolt of choirs into your calculation because that things does crazy amounts of dmg.

Well lets have a look... it more or less brings 20% life and 10 dex for four points. Just play around with PoB and try out if you can come up with something better.

I think so too... and when you do bosses from guardians up you will really feel that difference in missing dps.
Edit: i did additional testing with elemental focus instead of controlled destruction that is a lot better. My gems are mostly lvl 19 and I killed phoenix, chimera and minotaur with it. So it is definitly possible to do endgame with the LT/GC setup. I died a few tomes in every run but I guess that was mostly because I tried things out and I am not used to the setup.

Hey Bash,
I think you missunderstood me. The question wasn`t if Blood Drinker is it worth at all, it was if it is worth atm to spend the 5 5% life nodes to make the way to it.
But I just realised my own fault: I was interested in the 0,4% life leech, but just saw that it is attack damage so it is useless for us, right?
But now I got the next prob. I played around in PoB like you recommended and that always worked fine, but now the values of the just imported character are wrong (didn`t chnage the char over hours). It shows 4927 max life and 488 ES, but in game (in HO without any auras) I have 5021 max Life and 745 ES! PoB is up to date, bandit is set right.
Why everyone is going with gloves spark setup? Isn't it better to horror shaped helm with something like Innervate? yea, cost more but i guess it has more damage as well.
Why dont used
Spell Echo > Controlled Destruction > Increased Critical Strikes > Concentrated Effect > Glacial Cascade
?
i think Cast while Channelling Support and Lightning Tendrils is really really bad man !
cast speed is so low !
beacuse i used it for 5-link and i always died in T13 T14 even in Abyss
can anyone tell me why plz ?
and how to fix it ?
