[3.8] CI Mjolner CoC Ball Lightning Assassin - up to 6M Shaper DPS, 11k ES, 5k+ ES Recovery/s

What would be the best Watchers Eye mod in terms of damage/usefulness to get if I covered the ES gain per hit with fenumus?

It really depends what you're missing.

Damage would probably be Ele Pen with Zealotry and Crit Multi with Precision. But if you're low on attack speed, that stat with Precision can also be useful.

I'm curious to ask about small improvements I can make on my version of this build so far that I did on I guess a budget relative to what you can really throw into it (you can see it for yourself on Gammascene https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Isnane/characters to make it clearer)

In general, I swapped the timeless jewel for the dominus one to get inner conviction, and using astramentis and efficient training for most of my strength. I realize that left my resists in a bit of a tough spot, so I had to give up using mark of the shaper to instead get aspect of the spider and the last bit of strength on a ring.

I was thinking of changing some of my jewels of crit chance for my CoC set up to crit multi for more damage, as I feel I am reaching a point where I need awakened gems to really push the build any further than I can think of (Edit, replaced it with a 15% penetration watchers eye)

If theres any other improvements you can throw out, I'm all ears

How can you think this is good advice? You are playing the LL version and you dropped a mirror :)

What are you trying to accomplish? Not seeing the PoB it's hard to min/max but I think Isnane should ditch all his +crit multi jewels for something with 1 crit multi and some resists and other useful stuff. You should be able to get mark of the shaper in easily. Not sure about your dominus jewel. I don't think inner conviction would be better than all the strength/chance for double damage/fire resist you can find pretty easily with a lethal pride.

Flip gems for quality. No reason to keep Vortex at 1, level it up and keep Arcane Surge at whatever low level it takes to proc on one cast of Vortex. Keep pushing levels and finish the Influence cluster on skill tree. Get Awoken Ele focus, it's not that expensive. I think Lethal Pride in the slot above Witch start is best as well. If you can get enough strength from that, belt, and one ring, then aim to get Mark of the Shaper. The one ring should be elder ring so work on getting one there and balance out your resists. Drop the Jade Flask for Wise Oak if you balance resists and Atziri's promise if you don't. You already have ES on hit from boots so I would probably drop Ghost Reaver and take Zealot's Oath. Once you save currency get Bottled Faith over the magic sulphur flask. I like using Thread of Hope to the top left of Shadow start to get Harrier, Coordination, Deep Wisdom, Arcane Focus, and Foresight and save points. If you also have enough strength, take the int nodes into the jewel socket on the left side of the tree and slot it Tempered Flesh there for big crit multi. That way you can get some ES and crit multi/damage on your other jewels to increase survivability. I think Zealotry is generally better than Wrath, but I'd need to plug into PoB to see for sure, so if you can afford a different Watcher's Eye for ele pen when affected by Zealotry I would consider switching to that. You can grind labs to get the right boot enchant.

well, all of his jewelery combined is worth a few chaos. lots of key stats are missing everywhere. you dont need a mirror to fill those ... dont try this build if you have no idea how to minmax.

btw all the mirror did to my build was a double corrputed shav and gloves. anything else i owned before.

Hi, i really like this build. thanks for the guide. However may i please ask how do you shock enemies? you have elemental focus on both the mjorner and the chest link. Thank you!

You don't.

This build does not rely on shocks to kill enemies.


How can you craft a ring like this ? With Elder and Crusader influence:

Ghoul Loop
Two-Stone Ring
Elder Item
Item Level: 85
LevelReq: 64
Implicits: 1
+17% to Fire and Cold Resistances
Grants Level 20 Aspect of the Spider Skill
+20% to Global Critical Strike Multiplier
8% increased maximum Energy Shield
+57 to maximum Life
1 to 11 Lightning Damage per Power Charge
{crafted}+1 to Minimum Endurance Charges

Just came back to this league after taking a bit of a break to try out how well explodey chest works without physical scaling on this build and it seems to work pretty well with exploding entire packs, although I'm not sure if it actually helps a lot with clear since our clear was already good to begin with.

There is still a bunch of stuff I could upgrade but I think I'm done now, thanks for posting this build, had a lot of fun minmaxing it.

I'm now on 245k chest BL damage at 7.36 cyclone AS, so 21.6m shaper DPS on chest and another 8.6m from Mjolner for a total of 30m shaper dps while having amazing survivability, clear and movement speed.
PoB in case anyone is interested and needs pointers on what to upgrade for damage: https://pastebin.com/0uva2Jf2

Really amazing build for people who don't want to play separate characters for boss killing and mapping/delving and I might play it against next league as well.
