Any good discharge builds still?
|
I made my first burning discharger back in 0.9.5 before Elemental Proliferation existed. It's such a simple and powerful build and has gotten buffs virtually non-stop every patch since. The latest incarnation of the tree is definitely a huge boon to any burning build.
--- A fun leveling thing to note is that the unique helmet Heatshiver is effectively a +2 to Discharge since it's both a Fire and a Cold tagged skill gem. Alongside the mana regen, there's no better helm to level with from 20 up to maps (when you really need resists and life from the helm slot and definitely not negative resists). |

Burning discharge is really fun and good (once again?). It also got some stealth buffs through changes to Cold to Fire -gem. (Cold to Fire + AoF -> Frenzy charges into 100% fire too). With AoF, you could also use Romira's to turn PCs into 50% fire too, personally not doing that yet (could use 5 more levels or so for grabbing 2 extra powercharges).
Some bosses may survive a discharge or two depending if they have loads of adds or not but weapon swap with fire trap and searing bond should end them easily enough. |

" Please link a good budget"" build, that is if you find a reasonable build. I tried something but it was a flop if I don't say so myself. ☺ To Die Is Not An Option, To Fight Until DIESync Is The Only Answer. ☺☻☺

Yes, I too would be interested to see a good strong and fast clear discharge build.. haven't played one for a while and want a build with as fast clear speed as possible.

" Discharge doesn't have the fastest clear speed possible because it's not ranged. Ultimately it's a self-centered (large) AoE, which is closer in concept to melee abilities like Reave or Sweep. Even if you 1hit all enemies, you'll find yourself running (or lightning warping) between targets to keep your clear speed up. If you want the fastest clear speed, go for something like crit nado or Flameblast prolif, not Discharge. Those allow you to run forward and destroy screens to your left, right, and front as you move forward. |

Maybe this is what exactly you're looking for: Ceaseless Discharger, fast clearer, cheap, decent tankyness :) auto generating charges continuously, hassle free.

Wander CoC can be better, as it is more versatile. Ranged spells, mele spells, whatever.
Also, CoC discharge can have more DPS if it's crit, as standard items for CoC directly support critting with spells too. Well, pretty sure it has more, it's a pain to math it properly :P To make CoC/Mjolner discharge viable you need a Volls Devotion + Volls Protector/Mjolner IMO.

as far as i understand it doesnt matter for shit if a build is better. its just whats actually more fun to play.
my most fun dischargers were mjölner and selfcastlegacy discharge with this one |

Note how I said IMO. In my opinion, not worth playing a procced discharge without some combination of those items.

this seems like the place to ask:
I'm running a wander, going to 6l either coc barrage or (far more likely) 6l power siphon (with 4l barrage) was considering either a coc barrage or a dps centric barrage of another nature. so: I've been toying with 4l coc barrage, tried it with a few random spells, then actually tried it with a lvl 1 firestorm at 20 quality... very interesting. 20Q causes firestorm shards to just smash into the ground so numerously and fast that I'm imagining the dps actually will get high if I level it up. firestorm falls on the target struck, I can imagine absolutely pummeling a boss or even a boss pack due to all the splash. seems likely tho that the boss will be able to close on me, and take a swipe or two as I fire. I will be getting tankier than a caster, so that should work out fine. is firestorm a really bad idea? my goal is single target dps and stun would be nice. |
