In Act 1 we start with
Killing Palm and by dropping Thrill of the Kill we'll get nice bonuses to damage.
Auto-flicker lvl1 got "fixed" so first gem crafted need to be
Frozen Locus. Low level locus will leave all enemies at cull threshold and we can "flicker" all of them! Get power charges and unleash
Falling Thunder. Try to keep 1 skill gem lvl3, for later.
Make sure to buy or get low level talisman here, since at lvl3 we create
Tempest Bell and
Wing Blast. Clear will be same, but vs boss - basic attack (with
Ice Strike support gems) folowed by bell and when boss almost stunned - wing blast +
Rend, it will give you charges and dmg, so you can
Falling Thunder.. BOOM... Act 1 finishing with same strat but using ice strike instead of basic attack.
Ascendancy points - if you want.. Get
Staggering Palm for extra projectile buff, and continue like this.. Get BELLS then.. But i decided to snatch
Painter's Servant from market, which is insanely op gloves when combined with Stonefist points. Also here we switch style to more safe version.
Storm Wave to shock and then
Siphoning Strike to detonate enemy + gain charges.. Then ULTIMATE -
Falling Thunder.. Style is super easy, and you can craft low level
Infernal Cry to cast it before FallingT.
Hollow Palm Technique is used after you reach act 3. I still prefer upgrading QStaffs, but decided to hoard currency until later, and Siphoning strike +
Charged Staff looks so cool with HPT, that i sticked with it :)
Thats our good and reliable strategy till the end, but you can watch video to see other fun options, and try to guess where we will scale in lategame :)
UPDATES:
Endgame Lightning Starter - Thats what i used at LEAGUE START
Switch TO INSANE DMG STACK with
Yoke of Suffering combined with our gloves..BROKEN
"Whirlwind DMG STACKER" part of planner
FINAL FORM UPDATE
So... That's where we landed.. I decided to push DMG as far as possible without touching 100Divine Lineage gems and other rare stuff. We got around ~5-7M DPS With preety basic items, and thats quite impressive!
MAPPING :
Whirling Assault is main clear, but we add bunch of stuff on top.
Staggering Palm to add projectiles,
Tempest Bell every now and then to activate buffs or to help vs elites and
Mantra of Destruction with
Infernal Cry to generate more freeze buildup and more dmg.
BOSSING :
Hand of Chayula to apply mark and then
Infernal Cry into
Whirling Assault fo generate combo for
Tempest Bell - drop bell,
Whirling Assault again, and you got enough for
Mantra of Destruction , continue dropping bells and spining. Charge
Staggering Palm before boss fight, and you'll melt him before casting mantra with "ok" gear :)
Build is FINISHED. There is more TIPS how to push it farther on passive tree in VIDEO and ofc we can get better gear, but it already clears all content so i'm cooking my next SCREEN MELTER :)
