[R.I.P.] life Mjolner done right by Rico - Juggernaut version - R.I.P. thx to "balancing" policy

Is it possible with new arc changes that we could drop conc effect and just put arc/vaalarc in?
Could the damage be the same or even better?

Vaal skills cannot be triggered.

I know this is the jugg thread but figured I'd ask here -- Have you put any thought into an Inquisitor or Witch double arc (with lightning pen maybe) mjolner build for 3.3 rico? I played an arc-focused (no voll's/discharge) mjolner back in Warbands as a newbie and it was a lot of fun. With the massive arc buffs revealed today I'm thinking it might be viable to go full on mjolner arc as elementalist or inquisitor.

I'm thinking ele equilibrium + overload using molten strike for bosses and lightning strike for clearing. I defer to your experience though on if it's even worth exploring, what do you think?

Hey Rico,

Big up to this well thought-out, incredible build. I always wanted to try a discharger and this one sure is a winner. Nicely done, shows your experience with the mechanic through and through.

Just had a minor question if u can find the time for it. I've decked my monkey out with some high-end gear, including a max scold's with the proper enchant, a +1 volls for a pair of temp chains repentance, 4 mod jewels, level 4 enlighten to better support the golem, around 6.1k life, the works... After giving your whole intro another read, seems i'm just missing out on the watcher's eyer and the +1 end belt. But those are insanely expensive. Have you tried running uber elder with this build ? Is it doable at all cause if so, i might be tempted to go all-out on this one. If not, i think i'm gonna keep him where he's at. Anyway, gz, you really started something here :-)

Didnt try uber elder, tried Shaper several times. Some other build followers tried uber elder maybe they will provide some info. Judging by your gear lvl you should be able to do it tho even without +1 belt however at least single conversion WE is a must have.

In your Inqui guide you refer to the approach Killuah mentioned. I suspect with the changes to Arc you can do the same for this guide, too.

Yes but as a Juggernaut I dont see a point. Because how cyclone interacts with Discharge going 2x support will be still a way to go. Arc may help with clear speed thou.

For inquisitor its a whole new story. Arc was allready factored in in its design proces and that build will benefit the most.

Trying to push to 99 again, this time I think I will get there. Not skipping any bosses, mostly doing red maps Tier 12+ and elder when he pops up.

Found this beauty yesterday

40% done now. This is slow but I am not pushing, doing maps until elder popups up and start again.

I read a build that was saying their build was the king of AFK, I feel this build is much more AFK than the other. You only need to Cyclone and drink potions. I am running the build without RF so that is one less skill to worry about. Also have trouble with my wrists if I play too much, but not with this build.

I'm thinking about doing this build... Not sure if with Witch or Jugg.

But I'm thinking about this changes:

- Dropping Devotos, I don't care about the movespeed. I would get a helm with high life and resists. Maybe even a lightpoacher with 2 sockets, flat life and spell damage. It would help with the next change...
- Dropping the shield and purities for Wrath and Anger.
- Getting a second Mjolner, so the first one is Discharge with supports and second one Arc with Supports. For each Cyclone spin it will trigger one Discharge and one Arc. (yeah yeah attack speed, cooldown blablabla, I know)
- Definitely dropping Repetence if I go Which to compensate lack of purities with a glove with life and resists.
- Maybe getting an Inpulsa's instead of a King's Guard.
- Maybe fitting somehow a CoC Arc in the Body Armour.


I'm just worried about my defences for farming... I don't care about Shaper, etc.

Maybe someone here or even Rico already tried things like that...

I would appreciate advices ;)

Hi Rico, great guide, I am thinking to start 3.3 with this build.

Only issue that scares me is the price of Vol's devotion and İnna boots at the start of the season.
possibly mjolner will be around 1 ex as well.

without vol's devotion and inna boots will I be able to farm uber lab? (thinking to earn my currency with uber lab) and buy rest of the gear.

or I will start with a whispering ice build and make mjolner as a second build.
