2.3 Fakener (budget fake Mjölner) build - Trickster Version

Wouldn't Herald of Ice be bad, since it gives your Discharge cold damage as well?

You can still do this build without EE - you can use Herald of Ice and Herald of Thunder (use this with a Curse on Hit and Ass Mark/Conductivity/Elemental Weakness) instead of Grace, which will give you TONS OF DAMAGE, and you'll clear maps even faster.

I tried it but...not enough mana for herald of ice...so i´ve decided to put ENHANCE lv3+EWeakness+COH+Heral Thunder :-)

So I switched over to a 4L volls and that definitely helped the kill/clear rate! A lot more fun. This build really needs a lot of mobs to shine- single boss is really tough for me. Also reflect is just destroying me. When that discharge goes off, BLAM! I'm dead with reflect.

How do we deal with that? Resistances are close to capped but not quite...

VAAL PACT or Acuity Vaal Gauntlets

Testing around without Herald of Ice (with EE) now, honestly not sure I see what you're saying though with it making it proc cold too on discharge, but unsure if its a good thing (since it keeps them vulnerable to lightning more consistantly).

Edit: Just played around with and without it and don't notice any difference, if anything I feel like having herald on makes them less resistant to lightning since I'm doing consistant cold damage as well. I could be wrong but so if anyone has more of an idea feel free to chime in :)

Hi everyone. After acuity nerf and changes to the passive tree i decided to post my changes to the build to get some feedback. Seems to be doing well so far. I have not tried uber yet but everything else seems to melt as fast as it did before patch. Oh, and reflect is still no problem as long as you have a topaz flask ready to pop.

Life: 4.3k

Chance to hit: 87%

Crit chance with cyclone: 85% with no charges.

Crit chance with discharge: 72.2% with no charges.

Crit multiplier: 314%

Any other element is useful and allows your EE to proc. Currently the setup I'm running is this -

(I don't plan on doing atziri have no care for it so not running puritys) the auras im using are Grace, Elements, Herald of Ice (to help proc EE).

My 5l in my volls is Discharge, Cyclone, Blood Magic, Cast on Crit and the big difference for me is Life Leech, I feel like you're just opening yourself up to too many rng deaths without the Life Leech gem. So far I can do every boss, only trouble I've had is Torture Chamber just because of the way the totems work so it can be a bit touch and go.

im dying a lot in mercilles...level 66...good gear ..with my 5l volls..saffells frame and rat nest...the build is fun..yes we do a lot of damage but i cant handle physical damage hits....sometimes one phisical hit from a stupid monster or a skeleton kills me and im nopt talking about bosses and with cyclone spending life with blood magic its too much sometimes (2135 life atm)... i must flask and flask life a lot and continously all the time...so y will try your idea of life leech...questions... with vaal pact or not?..and life flasks are a must all the time too?

I leveled the build from about 60 myself too, and early on it was rough. Grace helped out a lot recently with not being hit as often. More HP was obviously a bonus with the higher levels. Life Leech for me was a game changer im not really sure how Mathil and others manage to play properly without it. You don't NEED vaal pact straight away. But you won't die to reflect with it (unless you're running a -max resist map and overkill like a a lot). You will still need to use flasks for when you do get hit, I usually take a decent chunk but with more crit comes more survivability because with the leech everytime you discharge you heal back a lot. So its kind of funny, more damage (well crit so you discharge more) = more survivability.

Just hit 62 and die all the time. Gear is pretty decent, resistances are capped and have over 2k life. But every once in a while (1 or 2 times a day) I just get nuked. Still don't have the 5L volls, but when I die its instant so Im not sure how much life leech would help if I get it into a socket... I have 8% life leech on phys damage now from gear and it doesn't help me with the death rate...

Here's my current gear- anything else (cheap!) I should be looking for right away?

i can see 2 things that maybe are the problem...one is that using herald of thunder and the lighting damage of herald wont let you use the benefits of elemental equilibrium...second...the life leech of your physical damage its not important....what its important its the life leech of the discharge and the lighting damage....
