[3.12] Memoria's Crackling Lance Assassin [Leveling Section updated]
 What's up everyone! I'm sure that I'm not the only one looking into the new Crackling Lance skill and I've tried to come up with a decent starting build for this. Feel free to join me Twitch or Discord if you have any questions or want to see the build in action. Discord: https://discord.gg/NgZTgBs Twitch: https://twitch.tv/Memoria_gaming Path of Building

You will need PoB Community Fork:https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding Videos Coming Soon Progress Day 1: Act 1-10 in 6hr, lvl 80, conq down. Day 2: Lvl 88 red tier maps. Decided to replace Cracklance with Storm brand until later on when I have more currency. Feels like we need to invest quite a bit more to make it work lategame. Damage is bonkers in most cases, need to work with survivability (Shield/1h + block most likely) Pros + Nice clear + Skill looks great + New and exciting + Single target dmg is sweet Cons - Squishy - Shield/block might be an option - Needs to stand still in order to deal high single target dmg How the build works

The idea is to utilize Assassin to scale our lightning damage through power charges & crit. The base damage looks good and combined with intensify we are looking at some juicy crits. For single target we need to be more or less standing still and for that we need some defensive options such as Phase acro and we might need to swap out one Void Battery for a shield and focus more on block. We also got Tempest Shield, Arctic Armour, Enfeeble & immortal call to look into for defenses. Talent tree for those without PoB Community Fork

I'm wondering if Cracking Lance would be any good with a CwC setup. Could be with Storm Burst or Divine Ire, but I'd like to try with my Lightning Tendrils Trickster, for full Palpatine-style. Usually, people channel Arc with LT, but I think that CL can look even more Sith ;-) and probably better against single targets. There may be issues with the Intensity mechanics, though.
I'll test it first thing when 3.12 launches ! Rahsaan's Workshop, a post to showcase a dozen of my home-made builds : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3432443 Последняя редакция: rahsaan. Время: 17 сент. 2020 г., 13:23:47

Why are you using Pinpoint Support in your links? Pinpoint only works for projectiles, and Crackling Lance does not have projectiles. I would 100% recommend using Intensify Support as well, due to how much % more damage it gives.

" Thank you, I completely missed it! |

I would go for frost shield, dmg should be enough if u go for 2x void battery and I would go with Shroud of the Lightless and HoI for clear. Maybe later switch to explode chest or +1 gems chest and for really late game maybe go for int stacking.

" Considering Inpulsa later on in the league but we'll see. Currently I'm a bit worried about the leveling experience since Storm brand is a bit lackluster atm and not sure about Crackling lance when it comes to leveling. Maybe level it as ED/contagion and swap later on..? |

This looks pretty similar to what I thought about playing in Heist.
Leveling might not be too rough when using either Storm Brand or Arc and switching to Crackling Lance if it turns out to be alright in the lower levels, but I suspect that the first couple of days/the first week will be spent farming currency in mid tier maps until the build really comes online with Void Battery and possibly Inpulsa for clear. It might also be worth to consider a more reliable leech option other than just Atziri's Promise. Valako's Sign perhaps together with more of a focus on shocks? I will be following this thread and also try to make this work (although I suck at making builds). Edit: This is my very unoptimized (using arc as filler spell, no jewels, clusters, too lazy to craft good rares, very squishy, just fucking around basically) POB for what I had in mind: https://pastebin.com/kpBfTmTH Последняя редакция: DerMaggis.

BV works well to level with, or freezing pulse is probably fine too.

I guess im going to follow this one for my starter

Can Cracklance be used with bows? Wondering if its doable to aim for Voltaxic and go chaos damage with shocks
