Could someone explain, why people go for elemental focus on crit based lightning builds? To me it sounds like the shock chance should be worth more then the damage the support gives compared to other supports? At least on bosses that should be the case, right?

Edit: I guess the damage done by one attack is usually not high enough on bosses to give a big shock amplifier?

Correct. Trash dies to anything anyways and bosses are harder to shock unless you build around it or you are an Elementalist.

Shock is a bit of a weird mechanic right now as you need to do huge damage to a boss to get a decent amount of shock. But if you are able to deal that much damage you dont really need the shock anyway
That's the 2nd time in a week I've seen someone sig a quote from this GD and I have never witnessed a sig quote happen in my TL history ever before. -Najda

I don't know if i really agree with the above statement about shock.

Last league I played a power siphon inquisitor that was largely lightning focused and I could shock basically any map boss in the game, yet my single target damage was still abysmal (albeit much better than kb)

the ability to shock a target and the ability to shock a target an amount that meaningfully increases the damage that it takes are different.

Keep in mind that shock got reworked however many patches ago so that the shock that you apply to an enemy can increase their incoming damage anywhere from 1 to 50%, and that against bosses achieving a small 1-5% shock isn't so hard but also isn't helpful.

That makes shock pointless, like super super pointless. I had no idea.

I mean it's possible to shock bosses significantly but you have to do a certain percentage of their life in a single hit to do so and it ends up being meaningless if you hit that hard anyway.

Elementalist bypasses that with a guaranteed minimum 20% shock

Found the last uber lab trial in SSF Delve yesterday, man that took ages. Still don't regret playing SSF at all, I'm enjoying it more tbh, quite refreshing to actually use currency and not buy your gear. Also helps that Delve is a great league.

That is not the reason. Vaal Lightning trap skill guarantees shock but for 15% now.
Changes to shock were to make it more useful, it was even more useless before because the calculations were the same but they determined how long it lasted. Now it has guaranteed 2s duration and they put a lot of shock effectiveness and duration on the tree. You can make a Elementalist that has guaranteed 50% shock fairly easy.

Just wanted to say that Delve is the best league yet, both in general and for me as a player. I did my first red map; I killed my first Elder; I think overall I've made and spent more currency than in any other league I played; and most of all after two weeks of playing 4+ hours a day I still am hyped to play and there's so many things I can't wait to do. In short: Delve is amazing!


Wait until you get one shot in deep delves :D

I feel like I have to share this trade with you guys, as I'm sure none of you have had quite something like it.

I've been looking for a Apep's Supremacy for pretty much the whole league. They have been incredibly scarce throughout Delve. On average one is posted each week in HC, and they are generally very sought after.

So just about now one guy posted one for 17 ex. I immediatly bidded, and the guy said that he was being flooded.
I quickly up the offer to 20 exalts... plus I'll sing for him...
You might get an idea where we are heading, but I'll carry on the story.

Basically he said he got offers for 30 exalt, but he also added "if you sing to me, its yours"

I'm thinking here that he's just fooling around - but I reply "Okay, lets do this!"

Fast forward we are in his hideout, picking a songs and agreeing to terms how it should be done.
I get to be masked, and I get to distort the voice slightly.

We pick Whitesnake, as the shield I'm buying is a fucking snake that you hold in your hand. My characters name is also GretaOrmtunga, which translates to GretaSnaketounge.

I slap on my, still unwrapped, Atlas of Worlds T-shirt from an supporter pack that I received earlier and starting disguising my face with some clothes.

I practice the song a couple of times, as I had never heard of it before.
Then I record myself bobbing and awfully singing out of key.

I just sent him the video, and we just traded.

I am now one Apep's Supremacy richer, but I've lost two points of dignity.
10/10 trade experience, would never ever do it again.

Hahahaha, what the fuck dude. If you're serious, nicely done, lol.

I killed Shaper in SSF just now with my Zombie+Dom blow necro. Now to decide which map to use Elder Orb on... so hard to decide. :D
