Storm Call -- x5 Damage with Greater Spell Cascade and AoE stacking

CHECK CONFIG Utility skills have been turned off for more realistic numbers ================================================================================== GREATER SPELL CASCADE AND 275% INCREASED AOE AND LEVEL 27+ STORM CALL = FIVE HITS ================================================================================== A lot of this aoe is going to come from Flame Golem, passives on tree and clusters, bench crafts on helmet/boots, harvest weapon enchant, and corrupted implicits on jewels. You can annoint extra area of effect via cord belt (up to 15%) or get AoE implicits on abyss jewels socketed in Darkness Enthroned The goal is to have 4.9m radius on Storm Call WHILE YOU HAVE CONVERGENCE (5.1m will feel better). Works great with Sigil of Power and Frost Shield for lots of bonus damage/defense (I have them turned off by default), Blessed Rebirth medium cluster could be used to help keep golems alive from chaos damage, or you can use Darkness Enthroned and get chaos resist on jewels Listed in importantance: Flame Golem > Lightning Golem > Stone Golem > Ice Golem Flame golems gives us the aoe to overlap on single target and ton of % dmg Lightning golem gives us the mana regen to sustain and a ton of cast speed Stone golem gives us defense and regen Ice Golem is just for extra crit chance, least important Recommend and linking minion life support with quality to the other the top three Shopping List Mandatory --------------------- Greater Spell Cascade (I would not use Storm Call without it) Empower (need Storm Call to be level 27 to hit +0.1m base radius breakpoint) +3 to gem levels on gear (+4 if using Lvl 3 empower) x3 Area Medium Clusters with Magnified + Vast Power with 5% aoe corruptions (this is time-consuming but they are pretty easy to craft using harvest reforge crit, you can sell ones that roll into useful jewels for other players) Supreme Ostentation Elegant Hubris (Caspiro) timeless jewel (ideally with gain endurance charge when hit Deep Wisdom) OPTIONAL ASSERT DOMINANCE SETUP FOR LOTS OF "EASY" AOE ------------------------ Instead of Magnifier on your medium clusters you can use Assert Dominance which has conditional aoe if you've killed recently. this will gain you up to 60% inc aoe if you have them on all 4 medium clusters. To get this to work on bosses you can use Mark of Penance from the The Hateful Accuser breach unique ring to spawn enemies. Consider setting up your gear to make it easy to swap out your conductivity ring for this, then socket conductivity in your helm repacling spell cascade. You will need to drop assassin's mark which might means you need a new source of power charges for single target Sources of Power Charges (that I can think of off the top of my head) ---------------------------------- Assassin's Mark quality (best, doesn't work with Mark of Penance setup) Forbidden Power forbidden jewels (expensive, makes you more squishy/vulnerable to stun, however very good source of AoE scaling) Power Charge on Crit support (less damage, need arcane surge from somewhere else if you need it for mana sustain) Power Charge every X seconds eldritch implict (you will lose frenzy charges if you do this) Really Important ---------------------- Primordial Eminence jewels (try and get them w/ 5% AoE corruptions) Ashes of the Stars (ideally +30% quality) Corrupted aoe on medium clusters (they are easy to craft using reforge crit, sell the ones that fail) +2 wand with crit Conductivity Curse on Hit Ring Nice to Have ---------------------------------- Vile Bastion Forbidden Jewels (for stun immunity and tankiness) Greater Spell Echo Lvl 4 Greater Spell Cascade 21/20 Vaal Storm Call Corrupted Blood immunity on medium cluster corruption (somewhat easy to do if you spent time corrupting your own medium clusters to get more AoE), otherwise your best bet is to buy one on Primordial Eminence of Light of Meaning (expensive) Darkness entrhoned with aoe implicits and minion chaos resistance. Curses -------------------------------- Conductivity on hit ring for general mapping Manual cast assassin's Mark Trigger on focus craft on helmet for bosses, can use spell cascade for more coverage, ideally greater spell cascade if it's not too expensive Tips ------------------------------ Get spell es leech on cluster or on flask You can use arcanist brand instead of focus trigger craft Learn to craft your own gear, you will save lots of currency Keep tabs of your AoE Radius for your Storm Call (non-vaal). You want minimum 4.9m WHILE YOU HAVE CONVERGENCE (check it on to see). Ignite Proliferation on glove implicit if you want more coverage on Shaper of Flame for better defense Get chaos resistance on your golems via darkness throned if you want them to not die on maps with added chaos damage Primordial Eminence gives ------------------ 6% inc area of effect (11% with corruption) 6% defenses 3% cast speed 9% inc damage 5 mana per second 38 life per second +armour on your golems
