3.23 - Lightning Strike of Arcing Trickster - T16 Lair of the Hydra

========================================================================================== READ NOTE ================================================================================================= NOTE - The customer modifier is added because POB does not calculate the damage increase we get from the interaction with Projectile split from Sniper's mark + Returning projectiles from Nimis. Explanation has been written along with the modifier. - Two Lightning strike setups have been added to calculate the total dps of the build with the melee and projectiles combined. - Damage numbers of the enemy has been INCREASED (from 2.2k to 3.2k) in order for us to get a number on the EHP. Otherwise, POB shows EHP as immortal. We can also get EHP by changing Guardian/Pinnacle boss to Uber boss - 1.1 million. ====================================================================================================================================================================================================== I made this build because I wanted a tanky character that can do all juiced content fast and more importantly safely. It has a very relaxed playstyle no matter what content you run and can facetank pretty much all content in maps even at 8k+ wisps and fully juiced delirious maps. It still has a lot of room to improve and can be upgraded by getting better ES pieces or Level 21 gems and better jewels. I was able to do all content I wanted to do with the way it is now.
