[3.4] Teleports Behind You - Poet's Pen Lightning Warp & Arc, MF / Facetank t16 / Shaper / U. Elder

just want to say that it was a great and fun builds. I died a lot (coz i didnt really care about anything and tried to face tank all for fun sake) so i didnt reach high levels (89) but i could push it easily up to 95+ deathless with just a bit more concentration.
Also I had 4 empty jewel slots since new temp started and bestiary wasnt great. if I put in some currency I would get more hp -> never die.

I did t16 red elder, shaper, all guardians, all maps. i would not do it as a starter but poet pen leveling was a blast.

just wanted to put in my 5 cents (i deleted the char, never play standard) and say I had a blast with the build and appriciate dariidar's effort he put into making this fun and strong build.

Im thinking about using Power Siphon for proccing because of the new auto aim feature instead of Frenzy/Barrage, what do you guys think?

cheers for the reply, yeh i realised that about ele proliferation too late, the race was ending.

Also i still don't know why there's no quality on attack gems?

I have level 21 arc/shock Nova/ball lightning. Getting level 21 gems with 20 quality is far more expensive. Arc and shock Nova don't benefit so much from quality in this build since you are already shocking very often with 30-40% critical rate and other sources of shock on tree.

@Dariidar are you planning to run this again this league? Do you think the Beacon of ruin change hurts the build a lot, or do you think the buffs to ball lightning and arc compensate?

I think i'm almost done gearing up. my helm got lightning ball aoe effect enchantment today i hope it's ok. I couldn't get slower lightning ball enchantment or more damage to nova ring like u have.

I have 7.9K hp as lv 94. not sure if I should try the shaper for the 1st time. I also don't know if i can solo Vaal temple Tier 16. those 3 bosses hit so hard it's a joke lol.


What do you guys think about the changes tomorrow? shoud we replace barrage with lets say "elemental hit"? or maybe something else? i'm not sure if I fully understand the change they will be doing to our ascendancy.

what gem should we add to our body armor once we 6L it instead of using 5 links?
at 1st i thought about using both culling strike with addtional accuracy to get enough healing + damage and attack speed from culling strike.

but with those changes idk. maybe we'll need a blue socket on our chest? if we drop barrage...

How will this build be with the new Arc changes?

Looks amazing. Will it be fine for a starter, for incursion?

You still need Frenzy. Maybe you can replace barrage with power siphon but I haven't seen how it looks in action.

I thought Beacon of Ruin got buffed. The build will only be stronger.

You have plenty of eHP. Vaal Temple highly depends on the map mods, I don't always complete it deathless. Kill the cycloner last because he's easiest to kite.

Elemental hit doesn't do anything for this build. If I did this build again i would use frenzy + barrage still.

culling strike is a fine 6th link.

Well, you don't get the increased shock effect anymore. Which means you'll lose damage. Question is how much damage loss that would be.

Thank you dariidar. I'm extremely hyped. I usually just follow the build from a popular streamer, but I feel like for this league I'm going to do it myself. Or at least, should I say follow your guide. I'm very excited.

How is the availability of poet's pen in the start of the leagues? Should I save up chaos orbs and buy one ASAP?

I see that ball lightning got buffed too. So in essence, we'll get a buff to single target dmg too, right?

Oh, didnt see that.

Assuming a base shock of 20% inc damage taken vs bosses. Subtract 20% inc shock effect from the skilltree. 0.2 * 0.2 = 0.04. We lose 4% of our damage.

The Arc + Ball Lightning buffs are more than enough to cover this.

Updated guide to 3.3. Nothing really changed, except you can use Arc instead of Shock Nova for single target. This may mean that you can make do with just 3 poet's pens, although 4 pens is more comfortable because you can quickly weapon swap with a hotkey when mapping.

Level up with Enki's Arc witch, modified with my skilltree (see the leveling section of the guide for information). And remember to kill Alira.
