ELE LIGHTNING STRIKE - ALL T16s, Shaper, Uber Atziri, HOGM, Chayula, Elder

I have some questions. Silver flask is for bosses right? Cause we have all the time onslaught? Second question why u use faster casting for ancestral protector and golem, and also for vaal grace and vaal haste? Waste of 2 slots which can be used for cwdt and immortal call. And last question which panteon gods? thx very much for answers:-)

I have a question wich one its better:

VoV + Avatar of the veil
or
Avatar of the chse without VoV
or
Avatar of the chase with VoV + Shock flask
?

thanks!

hey, what does vov mean exactly? and would claw lightning strike be better?
and why herald of thunder over herald of ice? cause ice would give it a better map clear in my opinion
but less ls deeps compared to herald of thunder

Great guide! I am unsure of how to progress my skill tree and specific levels to switch gears though. It would be great if I got some advice regarding that. Thanks!

Thanks bud. It's going to be a bit tough because the build really takes off when you start hitting level 70 and equipping the end-game uniques. Unfortunately there are not a lot of intermediate uniques that will make leveling smooth. For your level 18 character:

- try get an Ungil's Gauche as soon as you can, this dagger should carry you for a bit
- spec dodge and mana leech as soon as you can
- once you have mana leech put on Wrath, when you get to higher levels put on HoT
- once you ascend and get Avatar of Slaughter - start speccing the frenzy charges
- try and balance how you spec the tree and get life and damage nodes together as you level
- if you can't get Lycosidae you will need to start building accuracy (e.g. Hinekora's Sight, accuracy clusters on tree)
- this build relies on you being able to get good rares: opal rings, jewels, and dagger > so always be on the look out for these on drops / trade. I recommend you try and get as good opal rings as you can, and then fill in the rest of your resistances with jewels (which should also have life rolls)
- chest: I like to use Briskwarp in the early levels. Be careful of using 6L tabula as you may burn through your mana pool and may not be able to support a 6L until you get your mana pool high enough
- ofc always try and get your resistances as high as you can as you level. If you have trouble use a Bismuth flask
- equip a diamond flask as soon as you can

PS - if anyone else has tips to share regarding leveling on this build feel free to share to help others, thanks!

Aye, that's right bud. As long as you killing you'll have onslaught. I have an evasion roll on my Silver flask so I like to use that for some extra safety (the ev roll won't stack with the ev roll on my diamond but at least if one flask is down I can get ev from the other). You can put other mods on your silver flask if you'd like.

Faster Casting is incredibly useful for summoning totems, golems, and putting on auras for boss fights - every second counts! CWDT + IC -> i have not found that useful as the IC does not last that long unless you build endurance charges.

Pantheon: feel free to take whatever you like. I think I took Solaris and Garukhan

Best combo for Ascension is Avatar of Slaughter (Frenzy) + Avatar of Chase (Onslaught) because these two will give you the most DPS, and the EV boosts vs. attack for Chase are quite good. If I need more defense, particularly for SPELLS and ele status immunity (e.g. HOGM) then I go Avatar of Veil instead of Chase.

If you want to be very defensive: go Avatar of Veil + Avatar of Chase.

If you use Darkrays, Avatar of Slaughter would also give you some defense, so you have some leeway there.

For VoV - if you have enough skill with managing your flasks (which is easier becuase VoV only has 1 use now) to use a flask wiht grounding in combination with VoV - then yes the last option is the best.

However if you do not feel comfortable doing this you will need to drop Chase and go Veil which will lower your DPS but give you ele status immunity to use VoV.

The other option is to use Inpulsa broken heart to be unaffacted by shock (this will allow you to use Chase and VoV without needing anything to remove shock).

Given the changes to VP - unless you are on standard with legacy VoV then I would just skip VoV and use a different flask like Atziri's Promise for DPS.

Aye that's right.

Claw vs. dagger - depends what kind of claw you can get. If you can find a better claw than a dagger - then go claws and spec claw nodes instead of dagger nodes. Overall daggers are better for more crit, but really depends what you can find/buy.

Aye HoT gives more DPS since I am building around lightning damage, clearing and AOE is not really a problem for this build so Herald of Ice I don't feel I really need. But if you want faster clearing then feel free to try it and also try Inpulsa (remove Ele focus ofc).

Hi bud,

1) Your HoT is being affected by Added Light from Thunderfists which is increasing its mana multiplier and taking up more mana reserved. If you put your Wrath + HoT + Enlighten + Empower setup in your boots instead you will get to about 146 unreserved mana - and you should no longer have any mana sustain issues (I am at 150 unreserved mana). EDIT - I see your boots are corrupted already, either chrome your helm (will take quite a few chromes), or just put HOT + Wrath (no enlighten and no empower) in your boots.

2) You are probably dying because your mana is running out bro, so if you change the above it would help. For life sustain you need to be using Eternal flask with faster regen prefixes like Catalyzed, Bubbling or Cautious. I am using Catalyzed Eternal myself. Divine flask is not that great for health regen over time - it is giving you very low health regen per second. So try and carry 2 Catalyzed Eternal, or use 1 Catalyzed Eternal + 1 Seething Divine (instant). Also I would drop Atziri's Promise and use a Silver Flask as I think you are running out of Onslaught which is lowering your evasion and damage in boss fights.

If you are still having trouble - unspec Avatar of Slaughter path and spec Avatar of the Veil for some extra dodge.

Otherwise your gear looks good, nice jewels too - if you can get some more murderous eye jewels with flat life rather than regular jewels with % increased life - that will give you more increase to your HP.
