I was wondering if it would be viable to play something like this but with pure enery shield?


Is there something bad about skilling in a direction as suggested in this stormcall build

It doesn't matter if I put Arc in MH or OH, right?

I have 3.36 aps from frenzy charges but I've noticed that sometimes, the lightning warp does not trigger even though i am pointing/attacking at an open space. I can see Arc going off so it's kinda weird.

Is there any way i can squeeze in some cold damage on spells?

I have cleared up to t15 maps with this but still swapped to my MS jugg for the map bosses as i am still missing key components for defense.

Thanks again for the build!

Hey im just wondering if the extra links you got on your gloves is important or if you just got them bcs you had the currency for it?

Frenzy needs to be linked to faster attacks in order to hit the proper attack speed.
If you don't have the gloves, try to get Frenzy - Faster attacks setup somewhere in your gear. Perhaps combine it with your Barrage links such that you have Barrage - Frenzy - Faster Attacks - Life Gain on Hit - GMP etc.

so I decided to experiment by replacing Arc with Shock Nova for map clearing with lightning warp. Turns out it was actually much smoother for me, packs explode instantly instead of the slight delay i have with Arc...

I prefer Arc for 2 reasons:

1) Shock Nova is always casted BEFORE the lightning warp finishes. Therefore, if you are teleporting into the middle of a pack of monsters on the edge of the screen, none of them will get hit by Shock Nova. This actually leads to SLOWER map clears, because you will often need to attack twice in order to make sure a specific monster pack gets destroyed (first attack = warp into middle of pack, second attack = Shock Nova hits pack). On the other hand, Arc will always target where your mouse is. Therefore, it will cast Arc at the exact location where you end up teleporting.

2) Arc can chain to offscreen enemies and around corners, Shock nova cannot

However, your experience may vary. I'm also curious if someone can make Spark work in this build, I had some trouble getting enough projectile speed.

I'm thinking of trying something like this as my next build, probably as ascendant though.
One extra thing to think about on the elementalist vs ascendant argument - if you use wrath over HoT (Presumably in an essence worm) it allows you to use a wrath watchers eye.
You could either go for lighting pen or crit chance for a straight damage boost or the lighting damage mana leech.

Lighting leech would let you switch out mind of the council for another, possibly better helm. If nothing else it gives more options for getting helm enchant. I've seen it quite cheap on starkonja for a start. Just spotted a 2 socket lightpoacher with enchant for 4ex, but lightpoacher projectiles possibly a bit redundant.

Crit chance + leech watcher's eyes aren't that expensive either (Pen + leech a lot more).
