I've been diving deep into the world of Path of Exile with my own take on a Hierophant Totem build using Lightning Tendrils, drawing inspiration from the formidable Tatiantel2. Currently, I find myself at Red Maps, striving to complete my Atlas and fine-tuning my farming strategy. However, I believe there's room for improvement in my build, and I'm reaching out to the community for some guidance. The focus is of my build is on ramping up cast speed and crit multi for Lightning Tendrils Damage, and spell suppression and mana since my main defensive layer is "MoM" and spell suppression. I just

Thread link: Current minimum shock effect (w/o Inpulsa, just from the tree): 15% (1 + 1.25 (0.1 + 0.4 + 0.5)) = 33.75% For some reason PoB doesn't account for the 50% of the mastery on crit. Should be taken into account for the minimum effect from ascendancy node. Will have to confirm in-game.

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?

Hi, in search of skills to use with Ashes of the Stars i have found Phantasmal Lightning Tendrils . This is not a build guide, just a FYI for players looking for infos on Lightning Tendrils after the selfcast buff. Since Lightning Tendrils forces you to stand still and be in melee range for a long time, I would recommend Inquisitor, which lets you get super beefy. Atleast for the Hit version, this should be the most well rounded class. There is probably an option to go for ignite and Elementalist aswell. Basic Concept: - Phantasmal Lightning + Ashes of the

This is a build I've been working on: Basically I wanted to make use of Melding of the Flesh. Since Agnerod South gives 5% Maximum Lightning Resistance, I thought it would be fun to build something around this. As such, we have: Agnerod of the South (5%) Purity of Lightning (5%) Prismatic Skin (2%) Helmet (2%) Then we need 1 more % from somewhere. I decided to just go with Breathstealer and throw in Soul of Steel for the last 1%. This makes it so all your elemental resistances are 90%. I'm using Purity of Elements for the

Hey Guys, I've been pleasantly surprised by lightning tendrils while leveling and I keep lightning tendrils in my shortlist as a league starter. Maybe you could look at my PoBs! One is life based, the second one is a far tankier CI version which should be my lategame transition. The life version has 1.5Mil DPS while the CI version has 2M DPS, both on modest gear requirements. The CI version has 120k max damage taken, the life version has a merely 12k. Let me know w

I've put together a quite well rounded Lightning Tendrils build, got some passable defenses and regeneration as well as pretty acceptable damage with 2x6 links (Tendrils + Orb of Storms). I've put in 60% more multiplier in the general config which is a pretty conservative estimate on what the damage will be in this league. With the removal of the Orb of Storms internal CD and the sick buff to the main skill I think this can work out quite well. The gear is not terribly expensive (other than 6L) and playtested the concept it zooms pretty hard on lightning warp
