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

Also the crit changes

"
Critical Strike Multiplier values have been lowered from almost every passive, as well as from some items. Critical-based characters far-exceeded non-critical characters later in the game; this will bring the two a little closer together.

Thanks for the update, great stuff as always!

Can you give us the attack speed breakpoints of SS or is it really not as simple as the CoC ones? I want to test some variations.

It is kind of annoying as the gem level grants you CDR.

balance manifesto just annonce no more stun immunity on cyclone, how do we get stun immune now? :)


Stun immunity is a big hit. On the other hand, the damage nerf (crit multi, slower projectiles) should not be a problem, as ball lightning damage is pretty much broken at the moment. I honestly wouldn't complain 50% damage nerf to ball lightning damage. And they are buffing the damage to compensate for the change to slower projectiles support? I don't know if they actually play the game. The base damage of ball lightning is at least 3 times larger than most spells in the game.

I'm thinking several solutions to gain stun immunity. Presence of Chayula is an obvious choice, and if we use this, we would probably go LL. Another idea is to play Scion and get stun immunity from the Occultist or Juggernaut ascendancy. I need the patch note before drawing the final conclusion.

You can get 100% from the Tree, I think I got all the options listed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/h9spmm/ci_assassin_stun_immunity_options/

The nerfs to Crit means we probably want to stay Assassin.

Maybe a bit out there, but it's also an option to go life and switch to a vitality eye.

Just updated the leveling guide.
Feel free to ask any questions on the leveling section. I guess a lot of important information is missing.




Thank you so much for the leveling guide!
Already loved your Mjölner version of the build but had a hard time when I started with it as self cast BL and changed to CoC later on. Should be a lot easier now with the Spellslinger option :)
