But it's incredibly boring imo (and I generally like totem builds). Plus annoying when monsters run out of totem range, but that will be less of a problem with more AoE. I think totem RF is overrated, mostly cause it's cheap & strong (but not as strong as similar cheap builds like EA) but especially because it falls off hard in higher maps from the experience I had. In some tilesets you just can't place the damn things without them being almost instakilled and it becomes super tedious. Vaal RF sounds tempting in SC tho... ;> Either that or RF/Scorching Ray but as Alurr said map mod limits get annoying quickly. | ||

Using the bow? How is that build good? You only get 65% (or less) conversion and you use up both hand slots with a weapon that has neither good offensive or defensive stats for a caster. | ||

edit: Shock Nova has 26 radius and far worse dmg... how is that balanced. O_o Lightning Tendrils would be at 29 radius with lvl 21... back to being useable again? | ||

edit: shock nova hits for 150% in the sweet spot and 50% elsewhere so the numbers aren't really right. Plus no delay. nobody says "play shocknova" tho lol | ||

After this AoE change I think he'd be better off playing LT for AoE as well. But hey, maybe there are some more changes we haven't seen yet | ||

The nerf conversation doesn't affect the added chaos gem so it still does like 75% base dmg of 2.2 pre-nerf. Also you can use Drillneck with Voltaxic for plenty double-dipping projectile dmg. | ||

although I feel like cotb will be 25% because why bother reasonable nerfs when you can remove from the game right also cotb really didn't need a nerf anyway I do find it funny that deadeye is the best AoE modifier in the game now (better than flask effect dying sun, all other ascendancies, every cluster, even the gem (although I guess quality gem is still very slightly better) | ||

And Spark is even less reliable than LT due to its random behaviour. Can you explain to me how this 100% bonus damage is better than 2x wands that give many damage bonuses or 2x scepter or critical dagger+crit shield that also gives lots of ES? | ||

not sure what else there is to say spark is mechanically VASTLY superior to lightning trap that's for sure especially with pierce | ||

Spark does not really hit same target more than once, and since you will not have cast speed on your wands/scepters you will not be casting it fast and it does not reliably hit far targets as well. LT+multitrap sets of 4 everytime and they hit close targets 4 times and hit everything in a circle for sure. And still it was not good enough. Just plain old Vaal Spark is not much more expensive and much superior. | ||

For double dipping trap support is not good anyways as it does not double dip. Just a trap skill+ Trap damage works better :D | ||
