I'm so so sorry to say--I DO NOT recommend playing molten strike as it stands right now. Overall damage has decreased by 33%, and your melee attack must hit the target to proc release of magma balls, which removes the previous smoothness of playing the skill entirely.

I HIGHLY recommend cleave for massive single target--I hit 10M tooltip when flasked as pathfinder. I also am enjoying immensely smite with ancestral call for clear and swapping in fortify for both single target damage and defense while bossing.

Feel free to contact me in-game or here for some discussion. Thanks for stopping by! :) Overall, this melee rework has been amazing. Just a shame that molten strike is dead for now.

Hi, i had some questions about gems lvl;

Why Cwdt lvl 1, it do more proc of Immortal Call and Tempest Shield but it lock them at low lvl, does more damage on Tempest Shield & more reduc damage on Immortal Call isn't worth ?
And the last one is about Clarity lvl 1, does it is engouht for mana regen ?

Thx for the build even if it got nerfed (i'am not a hard tryharder so i don't rly care about nerf if it's engouht for uberelder and somes delve 300/500)

Hi there, I'm so so sorry I forgot to update the CWDT set-up. When you have more than say 8K eHP, it's more optimal to use 21 20 CWDT linked to 21 20 IC, Increased Duration and Tempest Shield to take full advantage of the new IC rework less elemental and physical damage taken. Hope that answers your question!

About clarity, I'm using level 1 because I don't really need the mana regen; it's more to take advantage of the mana as ES gained mod on my Watcher's Eye.

Also, a great delving option right now is cyclone because of the massive AOE and decent damage especially if you have instaleech of some sort! :)

Yeah, link Ancestral Call with Smite--then you hit more targets adjacent to you since the skill already has some decent AOE. For mana issues, you have several options: (1) grab 1 mana leech node by Essence Sap or Spirit Void on the tree if you're in the area, (2) use a ring with Warlord's Mark on hit, or (3) use Blasphemy linked to Warlord's Mark if you have mana to reserve. Let me know if any of these solutions work for you? I can try to find more ideas! GL! :)

OP is bipolar confirmed?

Also why not use frostblades for clearing.

is this still viable in 3.9 / 4.0?
