2.3 Fakener (budget fake Mjölner) build - Trickster Version

any passive/gear advise for doing this (and actually surviving) in a HC league?

I have a question about the heralds, if I use Herald of Ice, would that be good enough to proc EE on enemies that I hit? When Discharge will be dealing lightning damage and ice damage from the power charges and Herald of Ice that will then cause any surviving monster to have increased res to both lightning and ice, right? If so, does that make it not worth using to proc EE?

Leveling passives anyone?

Can't you just use two aura's (Grace and Purity of Lightning) and then run your cyclone off mana? That would free up a gem slot in your main attack.

You underestimate the cost of cyclone, and the low mana pool you have with this build. You're wearing a Voll's protector, which halves your mana.

I'll give it a try, see if I can find a way to make it work. I really hate wasting gem slots for blood magic. I'll probably be using a dagger with "hits can't be evaded" so I'll probably have some room to work with jewelery and extra points for possibly going into Mind Drinker, Dynamo and Righteous Decree. Who knows, i'll mess around.

And why aren't "hits can't be evaded" daggers more popular? Especially with this build that doesn't really require physical damage mods.

They are, and have been discussed at length earlier in the thread :) Conclusion, the "Hits can't be evaded" Royal Skeans and Poignards with the right mods are better unless you get a very spectacular dagger.

Exactly, even a simple dagger like this is better that one with 70 spell damage.

Hey Mate!

First, thanks for the amazing build. I play this with herald of thunder+curse on hit with assassins mark! That made the difference! Before i had a hard time in maps. Autocurse just to good!
And for all who think that build is expensive, i made it work with only 2,5 EX! And thats far away from expensive!
