EPTAnd I was pretty much speaking from an EK perspective and if 100% conversion to lightning is possible, most likely with the help of a new unique chernobog equivalent. And yeah curse on hit allows you to apply multiple curses so easily these days.

Lightning arrow is still absurdly satisfying to play (the sounds on it are great etc) but its hard to run bow skills that need lmp AND chain just to have enough AoE potential these days. Toss in WED, PPAD and all of a sudden ur a 5link. Hope u have ur mana solved. And leech solved. etc. Tornado shot only requiring one "aoe" support is too good to pass up, especially when you get like 110% dmg instead of 70% dmg. Although admittedly nothing's AoE can quite match up to LA. | ||

Yes there's also a 0.0% chance its 100% conversion even at 20/20 I dunno if herald of lightning would proc if ur totems killed shocked enemies but if it would that skill + curse on hit is op  | ||

holy you are kind of right. after researching it looks like the totems get the flat buff, but not the shatter effect. so i actually will go with herald of thunder over ice. | ||

Is it just to allow you to scale the damage with elemental nodes? | ||

I'm suspicious that just an added lightning gem might achieve the same thing and actually add damage but what do I know. 4% crit is an awful low base chance. | ||

Yes, I think you are not wrong in that. But he'll be able to shock more durable monsters and for a longer time. And depending on the monsters the dmg can also be higher with curses and lightning pen(and a lot lower if you meet a double resistance enemy). Personally, I will not try it unless someone shows it's super strong. I always felt like the fact that monsters hardly have armour is one of the benefits of physical damage. But afaik dual shockwave totem with crit deals extremely high dmg anyway, so I doubt it can be weak. :D | ||

But just a bit, imo the biggest problem of 2 handers is the ridiculous elemental dmg of some bosses and occasionally also from rares. I mean, there always has been immortal call for physical dmg reduction if needed. | ||
