PoE Lightning builds

im still a noob so can a smarter person improve this? if u have the time in the upcoming patch notes lightning tendrils got buffed and guarantees crit every 3 pulses so i kinda want to combine it the new arcane surge ( grants cast speed instead of spell damage) so it's kinda easier now to proc Elemental overload it's a little clunky (2 buttons: hydropshere then lightning tendrils) and slow pob : (lightning tendrils and arcane surge is not updated yet in pob so dps might change) what u guys think?

Context: This build is a modification of Jungroan's 3.19 self-chill Spark Inquisitor I was curious about the Arcane Surge changes for 3.21, and if they could be abused given that Spark spends a ton of mana and could easily hit the Arcane surge mana cap With the Crucible mechanic, this build could be pushed even further POB issues: POB doesn't seem to be correctly calculating Arcane Surge's new 10-25% more spell damage with supported skills. Even with 110% arcane surge effect, it's showing 19% and 42% more spell damage. It

Due to changes to Arcane Surge, Tulfall and Bubonic Trail I've been theorycrafting a generic elemental caster build for a templar and I'd like to hear your input. &x200B; The base relies on interaction between Tulfall and Malachai's Loop - Tulfall gives us massive cold damage to spells and Frenzy Charge generation at the cost of reseting our Power Charges each time we hit max, and Malachai's Loop gives us +2 max Power charges and quite a bit of %increased spell damage but in return we reset our Power Charges each time we hit max (same as Tulfall) and additionally shocks us. We combat dropp

PoB: I'm currently trying to build around the new Saboteur Triggerbot changes and came up with a Bow-based CoC build. I wanted to try something outside of the usual Frostbolt / Ice Nova / Ice Spear variants, so I gave lightning a try with Arc + Voltaxic Burst and Shock Nova in Asenath's for BIG shock support. A few notes on the build: Built gear to be "Good, but could be better". Lots of places for optimization \~36M PoB DPS, but it probably floats more around 25M-30M DPS realistically given missed arrow procs, sub-optimal tr

My fellow exiles, well-versed in the art of pob, I am looking for optimization on my Arc Ignite Elementalist. Trying to build a decently tanky character for legion farming (no bossing except Hillock), with the 100% more life sextant. It still rocks a cast on death portal. Here's the pob for a mid-high investment : May your wisdom guide me to improve the build at a similar level of investment, as well as with higher budgets. Thanks and Cheers &x200B; Main mechanics Offence \- classic ignite elementalist backbone, wi

Basically title. Additionally, frenzy generation through mark mastery. How are you planning to roll your spark tricksters? Additional thoughts: Maybe wanna opt into hypothermia for higher freeze consistency, might wanna go dual CoTB+Heatshiver. Think anathema is not the way to go anymore for early league since the inversion mastery is pretty much equivalent to the lightning lucky mastery in terms of average DPS. Might want to opt for more Energy Shield from tree.

If EC was a well designed skill then the interesting aspect (flask usage) would be extremely beneficial to the skill. As it is, this is not the case. &x200B; This isn't going to be a math heavy post, but long story short, you can only regenerate so many flask charges, and that number is way lower than what you need to constantly use sapphire/topaz flasks outside pure mapping. The new sapphire/topaz flasks are quite good, but really only modestly better than just slapping on a diamond flask and require massive investment to sustain. The recent 3.21 change to EC which makes you use massive am

CwC WoC Lightpoacher Spirit Charge Stacking Concept (end-game non min-maxed gear PoB) edit: most updated pobs (Low Life) (Low Life with Suppress) This is to hoping the reworked abyss uniques are not all super rare. Trickster 200% increased charge duration + 100% charge duration mastery for 40 second spirit charges. Physical spell converted to elemental. Wave of Conviction was my choice. Generating

So I was thinking of league starting as Righteous Fire. The new masteries makes leveling a breeze, but how realistic do you think it is to migrate to this after a week or two? Are these clusters really expensive? I'm a HC player who just farms red maps...so this seems pretty cool to me to be able to play that Auto Bomb style while remaining semi tanky. Thoughts?

This league was by far my most successful. I started out as poison seismic sabo and had a great time. The dps was lackluster for endgame so instead of dumping loads of currency I built a CoC Ice Spear Occultist. That character deleted bosses, especially Lycia; the downside was how squishy it was. I had trouble doing invitations and if I wasn't on point with my timing certain pinnacles would make me use a portal. Not the end of the world, but I HATE dying. So I farmed a ton with a(n) RF jugg (made maps so trivial and since you never die you just zip through everything). That got old and I misse

Elemental Hit Ballista Champion with Wilma's was my favourite build of Sanctum (SSF btw) and it gets massive buffs for 3.21: ~~Reliable "covered in ash" via Xoph's Blood buffs~~ \+2 Proj from tree 100% increased Damage with Hits against Ignited Enemies Transfer Mark Mastery \+1 max all res (from Reservation Mastery) The character had around 8m shaper dps and manages to hit 13.5m shaper dps with changes (if 3.21 dev pob is correct). ~~3.21 pob:~~ ~~ 3.20 pob

This was my build for Sanctum, but reading through the patch notes I see no HUGE reason why this build shouldn't work well in 3.21 (RIP arcane surge, as well as regain mana after every 5th cast and 3% of mana as es masteries). This build focuses on a very spicy interaction that I'm almost certain has been used before, but I can't seem to find any builds using it on PoE ninja. In short, we get our mana costs as high as possible using archmage, and then we take 400% of that mana cost as physical damage with scold's bridle. The hit damage for this is going to be pretty high (6-8k) so we mitigate

Hi, I've been playing PoE a few seasons now. Started during beta but gave up and came back a year back. I've mostly followed guides and did 38/40 and level 100 this season with Pohx RF Jugg. I like tanky builds and don't mind sacrificing some DPS for defence. Late this season also tried a Occultist Storm burst build just to see how it work and started play around in PoB for a Inquisator build. I do not now what will change in 3.21 but this is my planed build for next season: I'm not the best when it comes to crafting, I've mostly
