[3.9] An Out of Body Experience | Astral Projector + CoC Discharge | *WIP*
INTRO
Spoiler
Ever wanted to play a Vaal Burning Arrow build with more colors and without the soul nonsense? This might be it chief While still being ass at the game with over 2000 hours logged, I thought it would be fun to immortalize a personal build. Due to this is being my first guide, formatting mistakes and even build errors will inevitably be made. All feedback and criticism welcome. NOTE: Although the character reached 90, the build feels far from complete. Further tuning and optimization of the character and this thread will be needed. CONCEPT

The plan was to utilize one of the new uniques released with 3.9, Astral Projector. Due to Discharge having the 'Nova' tag, we are able to achieve a somewhat out of body experience by putting explosions in the place of others. Maximize power charges -> sustainable charge generation -> fast attacks ->boom Although Astral Projector explicitly states that the nova will be cast at target location, it follows the standard protocol for trigger effects by automatically aiming the explosion towards the direction/at the area where the target is hit.

Loads of needed dex and without the enchantment, damage is more inconsistent than it already is More available charges = more damage Combos with Voll's Devition for self-sustain Cheap source for Assassin's Mark Weapon Choices

Hey man thanks for the build! Looks really good. I might sink more currency into it than you have to see how far it can really go!

How would Badge of the Brotherhood fare in this build? It's pretty expensive, but I figure when your char gets full/max power charges Badge automatically sets that many frenzy charges too?

Any updates? Very interested.

Rico has been experimenting with a build such as this and I think Mathil tied it to Spectral Throw with pretty impressive results.
Here's to hoping it's good to shake up the discharge scene a little! It looks pretty satisfying and won't break the bank. Last edited by Messerschmitt#0749 on Jan 14, 2020, 10:49:33 AM

Sorry for abandoning the thread; quit Metamorph early
At 15 ex currently, Astral Projector seems to be just out of my reach. Build will rest for now |
