3.3 OBEY THE ORB (Orb of Storms - based build, SSF)

@ IsodorRodosi -

I can tell from the videos that you're primarily using lightning warp, tempest shield, orb of storms, and vaal stormcall. What other skills are you using (auras etc) and what links / supports gems for the other skills?


I assume:
Lightning warp - less duration - swift affliction

Tempest Shield - i have no idea what links you're using here

Orb of Storms - Chain - Controlled Destruction - Lightning Pen - Elemental Focus - Added Lightning


I could be wrong, so any information would help.

Cant you see the socket gems in the equipment i posted? Or only i can see?

Tempest shield: TS + Faster casting + 20% culling strike + Arcane surge

Auras: Grace( essence wurm), arctic armor

For some reason i didn't even think of that -facepalm- Complete brainfart. Sorry mate.

How do you get frenzy/power charges? I don't see anything on either gear or tree that gives them, on kill or otherwise (ECs are from warlord, that one I understand).
Also, what's your 4th ascension perk?
...wait. It's Swift Killer, isn't it? That's where you're getting those sweet charges, right?

Yes it is, and thats why i wearing this armor. To carry the charges into Bossfights and dont have them expire between phase xhanges, if its a multi phase boss.

Hey there, Tree seems to be broken, and your account set to private, so I cant grab tree from your toon.

Would you mind updating the tree?

Really want to try the build, gonna mess around with an Indigon

My account isnt set to private.

IsodorRodosi - i'm curious how you managed to maintain the insane mana consumption early on (act 2 etc) other than chugging mana potions like a mad man. I'm using 2 elreon rings, a healthy amount of mana, and at 9sp per cast tempest shield + OoS combo sucks me dry in no time. Once i get high enough level, obviously a blasphemy - warlord's curse will help with that. Also, for those like me that may need to help conserve mana. Dropping an Orb of storms then unleashing with a quill rain + lightning arrow will also proc the OoS at an insane rate for some helpful dps while transitioning (i would assume bright beak + lightning strike or an all lightning ele hit would do the same thing)

Brightbeak: not nearly as fast, only attacks with half of the cast speed of tempest shield and also lacks any caster stats.

Quillrain: Still around a third slower than tempest shield, and you need to wear a bow with zero damageincrease vs a shield and a caster weapon.

In other words, both are worse in terms of damage, speed and survivability and thats by a lot!

How to maintain the mana: Honestly, i dont know for sure anymore. I was wearing an Azoatle amulet with +6 manaregen and +77 maximum mana, and had one decend manapotion. And i also didnt level up tempest shield, until i finished normal lab, after that, it was a piece of cake to maintain the mana.
