I've been trying to cook and pretty much have concluded that using Prismatic Burst as a main skill will end up underwhelming (without Shako at least). (Rolling Magma has similar base damage and same damage effectiveness so should pretty accurately reflect PB DPS) Here's my non-budget lvl 100 take using mine auras to get almost 7x damage as well as Annihilating Light. I've gotten enough CDR so PB has a 2.52 hit rate which matches perfectly with lvl 1 Static Strike's 2.5 beam hit rate. This ends up with a build that has a clunky play

Thoughts on this setup vs. the regular Guardian or Necro that most people are running? (week 1-2 itemisation and budget, not meant to be day 1 starter comparison) Pros: \- Champ only loses a little bit of damage (\~10%) compared to the other classes while providing big tank and QoL (fortify, armour/evasion, reduced damage taken, stun immune, free banner, attack speed for hitting trigger cap) \- Very cheap weapon (no 6L needed) to quadruple your damage with almost 400% crit multi Cons: \- Have to recast destructive link every \

All just fun theorycraft and none have been tested or recommending as a leaguestarter. Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks! SRS Ignite: big damage from Mark of the Red Covenant combined with Replica Siegebreaker (\~10mil DPS with this decently high level of investment). Might just be worse than the equivalent of a regular ignite build though. Alchemist Mark Flameblast: scales one big poison and ignite hit through Consuming Dark and Replica Volkuur's to maximise th

Taking the base from jungroan's icyhot FP but now with pinpoint getting nerfed (especially with respect to mana sustain) but unleash getting out fine, thought maybe having two 5L FPs would do the trick. Means 8x (4 seals on each FP) damage from 2 casts, good for roughly 3-5mil burst damage with gear I feel comfortable attaining on a starter. Also pretty satisfying seeing the quadrupled up waves of ice blowing up mobs. Any thoughts for this vs. a traditional pinpoint self casting?

PoB: This is basically the same take as the phys BB Assassin build from last league just now with Raider. I compared it with an Assassin tree including the nerfs and found that Raider gives: \- Similar to slightly less dps depending on whether crit buffs up like power charges, Assassin's mark, consecrated ground, diamond flask (much higher cast speed, less crit and average hit damage) \- Way more zoom, about 50-70% increased move speed (the main appeal for me) \- More dodge (about 60% which can be capped through either better g
