[3.11] CoC Ball Lightning Assassin - 20M+ Shaper DPS/10k ES/fortify - League Starter Guide Included

Hey man, I've spent the last few weeks playing this build and upgrading around it and I'm having a blast. Easily one of the best and most fun builds I've played in poe and I've been around on and off since beta. Thanks for the guide.

I normally don't post on the forums much but I had to jump in and give much props to N0esy for this build. By far the most solid build I've played all league. I jumped from a Zombiemancer/Ice Shot/Storm Brand and this is by far the tankiest I've been while dishing out ridic amounts of dps.

I've been min-maxing my gear over the past few days, crafting and buying what I can find on trade although at this point I'm more crafting since my specific goals/needs aren't necessarily on trade. I would advise those who are curious about the build if they should try it to do so. You won't be disappointed. I started with around 90-100ex and was able to clear all content with ease. I only begain to min-max for ocd purposes.

@N0sey Thanks again homie. I'm streaming this build currently and if anyone asks(not that I have many followers HA) but I'll make sure you get all the creds and direct them here. Oh and in case anyone is wondering I'm currently invested at around 130-150ish exalt.

Hi!

I have some currency to spend. I plan to get a double discipline watcher's eye.

One mod will be gain es on hit , what is the other mod i should get? I just want

to feel more tanky!

Thanks!

Hello,

I am currently switching from poison BV to this build. just crafted a scepter with T1 cri chance and some attack speed which puts my APS at 1.75 now. i am aiming for 1.74 aps since i have 15% CDR on my belt.

so is my scepter too fast now? have i broke the breakpoint? please someone help me, i dont know if i should slam 5 ex for the multi mod and hits cant be avoid.

and if i were to multi mod, is "increase 50% spell dmg, gain 4% none chaos as chaos" better than just 65% spell dmg. i didnt see that on the list. thanks.

I am a noob but maybe I can help a little bit. Back on page ~23 there is an explanation where to find your aps. Copy all the settings in the pob of n0esy for your own pob. I don't know much about pob but I am using the create custom item with text function to check how different changes affect my dude. That would probably give you the best idea what the sceptre does.

This build does so much damage that you don't have to use crazy gear and your sceptre could be easy to sell even after you invest another 5 exa into crafting.

Insane build and amazing friendly guy. Big props to Noesy. 10/10

My Budget for this build was around 150-160ex.





I am also selling a godly helm for this build with around 350+ES and 15% mana Res Wrath enchant.

Hi sir, great build! I'm following your guide and I still have a long way to go for recommended equipment.

Just one question to you from the zero knowledge: with a quick glance to poe.ninja we can see the theoretical dps on each char etc.

You are on the top 10 of dps damage and as you can see in top3 the are 3 char using Mjölner instead of sceptre with around 25k more dps.

If you are calculating that your damage is btw 20~50 mill dps with ball lightning, could this other chars be on a huge difference just for using this other weapon with the same build?

Those are the only major items left from my character. For anyone interested, IGN: BrunoHenrikki.

And if anyone are looking for good Megalomaniac for the build, I still have those two above.

Poeninja shows average single hit damage of ball lightning. The damage is calculated without considering a lot of factors-cluster jewels, Militant Faith, chilling area bonus (around 30% more damage), and attack speed of cyclone to name a few. Thus, this is not a good measure of what your real DPS looks like. For example, Mjolner has a very low base attack speed, so it is not easy to get 7.56 aps. In my previous guide of Mjolner CoC, I recommended to stay at 6.06 aps for this reason. On the other hand, this build can reach 10.1 aps, so this build has 10.1/6.06 = 67% more damage multiplier here.

Overall, this sceptre version has much more damage than the Mjolner version.
