[3.17]⚡Velyna's Storm Brand Occultist⚡ 5M+ DPS Leaguestart | Hidden and Feared Viable

I am sure this has been answered somewhere but I'm blind. I was looking at the leveling part of the information and there is a section around act 4-6 or so where there are 2 curses on a hextouch link for both conductivity and enfeeble. Where is the ability to cast 2 curses supposed to come from? Or is it purely for the purposes of leveling the gem for future use?

Herald of Thunder does lightning aoe dmg + 2x curse, since u get 2nd curse from Malediction in asc.

Hi!
I've made some progress in gearing, and I'm having no problems with damage in clearing lower tier maps. However, I'm still feeling a bit squishy and get one shot pretty often so I feel like I've hit a bit of a wall. Any tips for my gearing choices? (I'm aware that I'm missing a tiny bit of cold res)

I have the same problem. The char is a glass cannon: D

The life version of the build is not meant to push very far into maps, it WILL hit a wall at some point.

But also neither of you guys above this have the early game defense things i recommend. One doesn't have leech, one doesn't have any defensive flasks, and neither have the small cluster to fuel IC with charges.

Hey, Velyna.


Why do we take this shield wheel ?



It's just to help with resists while leveling / early mapping ?


Thanks as always!

I've finally reached a point where I can complete all content in game comfortably :) Insanely fun build, thank you Velyna!

Any places you (or anyone else more experienced than me) see that I could improve on?

For ease of gearing in the beginning, and ailment protection.

More base resists allows stacking more life/armour easier.

Also nothing wrong with some block!

I was wondering what is the idea behind the

Hextouch conductivity wave of convinction, defience banner link?

Wave + hextouch give us exposure and a curse on bosses without adds for Herald to proc from. Defiance banner just fits there.
