[3.25] The Infused Trickster | Demo videos up : T17 Fortress | T17 Citadel

Here is a new video featuring the Lightning Trickster and three of my other characters. This time, we're going into a T16 Coward's Trial opened by Zana. First floor is t16 and then, we go all the way down to the last T19 room.

The Unholy Four - The Cowards' Trial

- The Nightblade Assassin takes the first room.
- Then, it's the Pestilent Viper, which clears mainly with Plague Bearer.
- Third floor is for the Lightning Tendrils Trickster, clearing here with Orb of Storms.
- And finally, the Caustic Arrow Occultist deals with the Summoner boss at t19.

Hope you like it :)

Here are two new videos :

In the first one, I'm testing Lightning Tendrils + CwC + Ball Lightning.
Usually, LT is used with Arc to create a "Palpatine" skill, but I've found that Ball Lightning is good too, as it allows to hit at long range.

#6 : Plasma Gun

The second one is another episode of the Unholy Four, videos with four of my characters.
In this third episode, I'm farming in four maps, from T17 to T20 !
The Lightning Trickster has the last one, a T20 Vaal Area.

#3 : The Harbingers of Disorder

Hope you like them !

In 3.12, I'll test the new Area-Control spells like Frost Shield and Sigil of Power, to get some more defenses while standing still.
I will also test the new Crackling Lance while channelling LT.

Gl & hf, Exiles

After a lot of trials and errors in 3.10 and 3.11, the build is finally out of his beta test phase, and fully optimized !

I'm currently reworking the first msg in its entirety, updating infos, removing outdated ones, and adding cool pics :D

PoB :
https://pastebin.com/xSHx7UKM

DPS
Unbuffed : 2M DPS
Fully buffed : 6.6M
With 50% shock effect : 9M

Here are two new videos :

In this short one, I'm doing a kind of culling strike on T16 Drox... at 25% of his life ! Dunno what happened, my Lightning Tendrils must have suddenly overloaded !

In the second one, I'm fightning a T17 Abyss Lich, Ulaman, Sovereign of the Well. A very good and engaging fight.

Hope you like them :)

By the end of the week, I'll publish a last video for 3.11 with the latest improvements of the build, the kind of which you won't get from a Jedi. *laughs in hysterical Palpatine style*

Good luck and have fun !

Hi Exiles,

I have improved the build in several ways :

1) I have removed the Call of the Brotherhood rings and reverted to a Mark of the Shaper + Elder rings, to get more life and Warlord's Mark on hit.
So now I'm back to full lightning dmg.
Don't know yet if I'll continue to rely on the shock effect, which is a bit tricky to assess (how am I supposed to know at what point a boss is shocked ?) or if I'll go Elem Focus.

2) Added Singular Focus on the tree + Rapid Infusion cluster notable, to get 75% inc effect of Infusion buff.

3) As I'm using Eldritch Battery, I cannot use the Arcane Surge support, which relies on mana. But I have added Arcane Adept cluster notable, which grants Arcane Surge while channelling. That's 15% more dps.

4) Added Impurity of Lightning for bosses (20% more DPS) on top of Vaal RF (29% more).

PoB : https://pastebin.com/dvNX8QPE

DPS :
- Unbuffed : 2M
- Full Buff : 6.5M
- With 50% shock : 9M

*

Glancing Blows and Warlord's Mark are getting nerfed in 3.12, so that will be a loss of tankiness. I'll see how to compensate for this. But with 2M unbuffed DPS, things are looking good and LT is quite good now.

In a few hours, I'll test Crackling Lance with the character in standard, and I'll see if it's any good with a Cast While Channelling support.

In the meanwhile, here is a demo for this upgraded version of the build, which will be my last video for 3.11 : a duel against the Brinerot in T16 Shipyard (twinned bosses), and then some kickass farming in a T15 :

#8 : Infused

Hope you like it and see you at the Heist, Exiles ;)

Hi Exiles,
I have tested two new skills introduced in 3.12 :

* Crackling Lance channeled with Lightning Tendrils. Visually, it's cool because it's very Palpatine-style. But you don't gain the intensity stages. You can use it for clear, but it's not better than a channeled Arc.

* Frost Shield on the other hand is a nice skill. It makes you take less dmg and chill enemies in the bubble. It compensate the nerfs to Glancing Blows and to Warlord's Mark, which you can now only apply to a single enemy, meaning you can't get max Endurance Charges while clearing.
So I'm triggering the Frost Shield with Arcanist Brand.

Setup : Arcanist Brand + Frost Shield + Wave of Conviction
Here, the order of the gems matter, depending which skill you want first. I've chosen to put the shield first.

PoB : https://pastebin.com/TP53CwBk
I have put 15% shock effect, which should be the amount given by the Harbinger.

"

Not using Concentrated Effect, as it makes Lightning Tendrils too clunky : more often than not, you will just channel in thin air, especially against bosses.
Instead, I'm using Inc AoE or Inc Crit Dmg.


I'm having trouble with my current build hitting bosses with Lightning tendrils. Did you notice if there's a minimum amount of AoE necessary to hit bosses reliably? Been noticing this particularly against Drox.

Drox is particularly tanky and painful to down.
I'm trying to get at least 30 AoE Radius. Check it in PoB, it should make your life more comfortable.

Hi Exiles,

I have renamed the build as : The Infused Trickster.
The change is only cosmetic, as the skills are still the same.

After lot of testing, I have managed to compensate the nerf to Glancing Blows. I'm still using it to get a lot of DPS thanks to the Lunaris Juggling Shield :


But even with a capped block chance for attacks, we still take 65% of blocked attacks damage.

So I have added several thick layers of defenses :

- Mind Over Matter on top of Eldritch Battery

- Frost Shield. Drains your ES to gain up to 4 stages over 1 second and grants a powerful barrier. Add Second Wind support to proc it at will.

- Corrupted Soul conquered Keystone, from a Glorious Vanity timeless jewel of Doryani. More ES to fuel the Frost Shield.

And now I feel we have enough tankiness for endgame :)

PoB, level 92 in Standard : https://pastebin.com/jDFfF11d

> I have updated the first message.

Here is a new video, the first one in 3.12 :
T15 Blighted Burial Chambers.

I'm destroying several unique bosses and resisting their attacks thx to MoM and Frost Shield. In particular, notice the tankiness at 0"35 while I'm getting slammed by the giant living rock.

Good luck and have fun Exiles :)

Hi Exiles,

here is a new video in 3.12 Standard :

#2 : T15 The Redeemer.

When Veritania slams me with her projectiles, you can see the tankiness of the combo I'm now using : Mind over Matter + Eldritch Battery + Corrupted Soul.

Hope you like it :)

Next video will be : T16 Baran.

Hi Exiles,

here is a new video. Last time was T15 Redeemer ; this time, I have upped the ante with :

#3 : T16 Baran deathless

And it's really deathless, watch until the end ;)

It was my most difficult fight so far.
I was also able to defeat the Shaper and the Elder (easy), but the build is still a bit slow for Uber Elder, and I don't know whether I'd beat Sirus.

Good luck and have fun, Exiles :)
