2.3 Fakener (budget fake Mjölner) build - Trickster Version

i feel like i'm not critting nearly as much as i should be when i watch mathils stream he almost insta crits and starts discharing packs i can go through packs WITH assassin's mark up to 3 times and not discharge shit also i can't even do bosses like normal dominus because i end up not critting enough and just getting killed it makes no sense what am i missing!!!



those are my items i took passive out of EE because my ring has fire dmg and i know i still need to upgrade the other ring but i don't think it will make THAT big of a diff with the last good ring

Can someone please explain to me what benefits ee passive has here? The way i understand it the discharge procs fire and lightining at the same time, giving the mob +25% resist to both.

If you have EE, and deal damage to a monster with two elements, that monster will get -50% resistance to a third element.

So in this build, if you want to spec into EE, you must not have lightning damage on your gear, thus by dealing cold/fire, the monster will become more vulnerable to your Discharge (lightning damage) when it procs.

So ur saying i need added cold damage on my gear for it to work well?

I am currently running double curse with herald of thunder. Guess i would need to drop that. the only time where i see ee more effective than double curse is atziri though.

Your ring and gloves give a total of 532 accuracy, which is too low!

Critical strikes have a double check on accuracy, so this is most likely what is causing your trouble. When you upgrade your second ring, get one with 300+ accuracy on it. Personally I am using a voll's devotion too atm and thus I have accuracy on my dagger. I feel it works great

k i will make sure i get a ring with atleast 350 accuracy on it i didnt think another ring would help THAT much but i will buy a ring and test it on monday when i'm off work again thanks for tip

Just got to level 67 and loving this build. Using a "Hits can't be evaded" dagger right now and procs like crazy.

Don't know if anyone else has tried or recommended this but
Vengeance + Cast on Crit + Discharge + (Life Leech or Increase area of Effect)
works great if you have an extra 4 link. I hate manual cursing so I had a 4link free.

Great job on this build!

i meant using a soultaker in offhand, and being able to drop BM from your cyclone links completely and be able to use like icenova, conc effect, or incaoe for a whole screen discharge.

sure the soultaker has lower crit, but you hit once per spin with each weapon, shouldn't be too low of a change and dropping BM should compensate more than the lower crit should?

feed back please

I've tested it with my soultaker from my other character. It works good and makes health management a breeze. It just lowers the number of procs. I think it's a safer way to run but it just slows your clear speed a bit. I'm still not sure which combination i like best between my different combos i've been trying. I've tried
8.5 crit can't evade dagger and shield (This is the most fun, it's like a machine gun)
8.5 crit can't evade dagger and soultaker(This is by far the safest)
8.5 crit can't evade dagger and 9.9 crit dagger(This does the most damage but i can't look away from my health)
9.9 crit dagger and shield(80%accuracy hurts my clear speed with this one)

I'm only 67 so I need another 10-15 levels before I'll have a good idea which one I like best in the end. I use vitality instead of purity of fire to offset a little of the BM health costs. It helps.

What is an appropriate level to transition from Static Strike to cyclone + discharge ? I have Mightflay ready but I don't think I can handle blood magic with cyclone yet, I'm on the right part of the tree at lvl 30.

You probably are higher level now but I'll post this for others

There is always Molten Strike+Multistrike COC option!! I've been leveling that way since I hit 35(Voll's Protector).

You can:
Craft a Poignard, try to get a 15%+ attack speed roll, regal then craft crit using Vagan.

Or look for poe.trade for 8% crit 1.5 aps + daggers, your choice. (Don't forget to check poemods.com to learn suffixes and buy the ones that has room for crit craft.)

Mana issues:
About sustaining mana I'm wearing 3 elreon jewelries so, mana cost is 0 but I could sustain the mana without them.
I leveled my Molten Strike but keep it level 1 for lower mana cost.

Links are: (for 5L)
Molten Strike + Multistrike + Faster Attacks + COC + Discharge
I'd remove FA if 4L is all you got. You can replace FA with Life Leech/Lightning Pen/Increased Critical Strikes(or one of them for 6th link). I'm just saving the color for later, as I've got a stubborn Rat's Nest that wont get RRBG or RBBG.
