I will first try LA just as is in a T16 and see what it feels like.	Posted by AndyLovesHisBge#5265 on Jan 23, 2023, 11:09:42 AM Quote this Post
ok, I just took the two recent interesting suggestions into 3 juiced T16's maps. 1) I can confirm Inspiration is no longer needed in the Frenzy setup (if you have the -mana on 3 pieces of gear). Power charges were at their max constantly. I used the LGOH support but I guess you could add anything you like here, especially if you are willing to recolor. Just need to watch your mana usage if you do something other than Divergent LGOH 2) I threw in a 20/20 Lightning Arrow and a 20/20 Ballista Support in place of Artillery Ballista and Cruelty. Clearing was noticeably better, as expected, but to me there was a significant drop off in single target. Not that I couldn't kill the single's, just took much longer. This makes sense since the build is not focused on getting the most out of Lightning Arrow. I don't understand conversion well enough to see if the single target DPS could be improved for LA but the clearing was interesting enough that if anyone does experiment with this, please let the thread know. I may play around in POB just for fun to see what I can learn if I have some time.

Those that may be afraid to try this due to the perceived glass cannonish, don't be, it is quite fun. Yes, you can't run into the middle of a pack and stop. But if you just keep moving and stay to the edges you will progress nicely. I am going to take this to level 96, which finishes off my personal tree (I had a tiny deviation from the build guide) and then decide whether to invest more or not in it. Great build Bunny, you should be very proud to create an entire build around one stat on one item. Thanks :)	Posted by cheapbunny#0890 on Jan 23, 2023, 11:40:15 AM Quote this Post

For test purpose i used lvl 1-10 gems in Descerated Chamber (level 65 zone). replaced cruelty with ballista and skill with below gems. Below are just observations no number verifications, just the gameplay feel ( so could be completely off) Galvanic Arrow - clear: good - boss dps: avg Ice Shot - clear: avg - boss dps: bad Explosive Arrow - clear: good - boss dps: bad/avg depends Storm Rain - clear: avg / bad - boss dps: v.good Lightning Arrow - clear: good - boss dps: good Seems like LA doing well, am not sure of its mechanics. But this was without full lightning conversion i.e. just 50% + 10% from gloves => 60% I did try with lvl 21 on normal map (conversion was still 60) clear was good and boos dps also seemed fine. So question is LA good alternative with bit lower dps than Artilery Ballista? probably it will vary alot(i.e. not consistent) in DPS due to farshot and inherent lightning varying dps nature. But on pro side it had better clear, since it was shooting horizontal and covers more ground. Conversion does not matter much, since we are using ele bow.

Nice build. Sorry if I missed it, but I don't see which pantheons you're using. Mind posting those as well?	Posted by bonesession#6407 on Jan 23, 2023, 7:51:48 PM Quote this Post
