Fuzzy Duckzy Gaming's Notes

After being a bit bored with Tornado Shot this league I decided it was time to revisit my old friend Vaal Lightning Strike Raider. With the addition of crucible trees, a projectile from the tree and Vengaent Cascade this build may be even more powerful than before...but maybe not as cheap!

POB: https://pobb.in/mlth5OoENuZL (No idea if this is configured right DPS wise, but my assumption is with the right positioning you hit with melee, Projectile, Returning Projectile & Double Vaal Lightning Strike. I have not accounted for Vaal LS returning as no idea if this does damage. If it does then DPS is even higher)

This is best case burst damage you realistic DPS when mapping is probably 2-3 million with 10 million on bosses if you time your bursts
