The reason you do not have a 0-cost lightning tendrils is because you missed one of the sources of lower mana cost in my build, meaning your skill costs some mana instead of no mana. To fix your mana problem, you need to do one or more of the following three things: either reduce the mana cost (mana mastery, jewel suffix, inspiration support, reduced skill cost militant faith devotion modifier, more corrupted items w/ Vivinsect, etc.); or improve your mana regen (clarity aura, increased mana regeneration, mana regen devotion modifier, etc.); or use an enduring mana flask. Hope this helps.
I really like this build idea, and I'm fairly sure I understand how it all works, but I have a couple questions. How do you deal with elemental ailments, bleed, and how far can this build push down in delve? Because thats what I'm after, depth 600 +. Great guide in any case, am replicating it piece by piece now. Also watching Jwars version too.
Thank you! Ailments are handled via Purity of Elements; for Bleed I use a ring with the "Bleeding cannot be inflicted on you" corruption implicit. IDK how deep into delve it can go because I don't do delve.
@@bgg-ji8dc well thats pretty much perfect for my needs then, I'll be copying this build and will report back how far I manage to go. I've been lucky to get some help and managed 528 so far on my own, but my build is currently dumpster tier, this looks like so much more fun. Last question: I just dropped a couple sanctum tomes (never played that league) how well does this build do there? Have you tried it? I'm curious to see if good relics still drop that give nice bonuses to character builds, and which ones I should start looking for.
@@bgg-ji8dc Would you mind also maybe telling us all how to craft your staff? I've gotten as far as a 30% qual battery staff with perfect implicit and +2 to all spell skill gems, but I don't know how to progress from here. I assume some kind of harvest craft, but I have never done this craft. I got lucky with the annuls and am ready to do ... whatever comes next. (prefixes cannot be changed, essence, reforge lightning/caster? idk ...)
@@johnturtle6649 I believe the best method is to use a fracturing orb to fracture the +2 to all spell skill gems modifier (imprinting first w/ Craicic Chimeral).
@@bgg-ji8dc Ok well im going to have to search for alternative methods here, thats a bit pricey for me right now. I'm in standard so fracturing orbs go for 16 divines right now. I have one, but no craicis saved up after my double elevated tailwind boots. Theyre also 2-3 divines now too. And the cheapest staff with either the +3 to lightning or + 2 to spells already fractured is 20 divine as well. Maybe a tad more depending on who is online. Sadly that may be the cheapest route to go, just buy one outright then craft it myself using deafening woes. Guess I could try my luck with fossils but that route looks the most expensive actually. Getting the build up and running with just + 3 to lighting shouldn't be too hard though. Thank you for all your help here :)
Cool build! 😊i have a battery staff with +1 intelligence gems from a crucible tree. 😅 Maybe I can use it in the lightning tendrils build. How would you craft +5 staff?
+5 is very expensive to craft. The best crafting method is probably to use a fracturing orb to fracture the +3 lightning mod then use prime resonators w/ corroded + jagged + metallic + shuddering until it gets the +2. The problem with the +1 intelligence gems crucible mod is that it applies only to the gems socketed in the weapon. Socketing LT in the weapon means the free aura trick cannot be done and any +gems vaal implicits on your body armour will not apply. However, that does mean that more powerful rings could be used instead of Vivinsect due to LT no longer spending mana.
1) Optimal corruptions / double corruptions on unique gear. 2) Optimize the rare equipments 3) Improved Crucible Passive Tree (T1 - SpellDamage/EnergyShield, T2 - 30% more cast speed, T3 + T4 - 80% increased shock effect + 60% increased Wrath effect) 4) Corrupt the cheap jewels for useful implicits such as 5% increased AoE, 1% lightning penetration, or corrupted blood immunity. 5) Optimal Watcher's Eye. 6) Level 100. 7) Various trade-offs can be made based on user preference. For example, the Window of Opportunity notable allocated through Impossible Escape and the chest-opening mastery provide no damage, but are very nice to have for fast movement and quality of life. However, they can be replaced by more damage. 8) Helm can be replaced with max roll +1 Power charge Crown of the Inward Eye with the same enchant. 9) Belt can be replaced with Mageblood.
hey Guy, whats the important thing.. i love this build but in a lot of maps i died on the boss with one shot... wats the important thing for the defence? im lvl 88 and i dont know whats the best for my defense atm... pls help me :D
For general safety, make sure your resistances are capped and get as much energy shield as possible. After that, it is dependent on what you are dying to exactly, as every defensive tool is best fit to different situations. Armour works best against many small physical damage hits at once such as porcupines or detonated corpses. You can get it through a Determination aura or granite/basalt flasks. Sources of "physical damage taken as X damage" or "physical damage reduction" will help a lot against all sizes of physical damage hits. You can get these through "Watcher's Eye" modifiers and helmet eldritch implicits. Note that Physical damage reduction is what is provided by endurance charges. Bastion of Elements (allocated through Forbidden Flame/Flesh is an excellent defensive tool against any elemental hits, providing an additional pool of about 2700 against those hits. It also provides immunity to reflected damage. Against any non-one-shots, please use the Vaal Discipline skill, which reactivates ES recharge regardless of whether or not damage was taken recently. Against certain telegraphed attacks, you don't need defenses - you need to move out of the way. Shaper slam? Move out of the way. Sirus meteor? Move out of the way. Maven's Take This, Stand Still, or Do What I Say? Move out of the way. Twenty eight large blue circles show up on the ground beneath the mob you just killed? The strongbox you just opened has a modifier which reads "Detonates Nearby Corpses"? Minotaur dove into the ground towards you? Spider boss from crucible leaps into the air towards you? Fat guy with an axe swings the axe towards you? Standing on top of burning ground? On frozen ground? On Shaper's ground degen? On Maven's ground degen? Inside a Shaper Beam? On top of Baran's blue squares? On top of the Searing Exarch's Searing Runes? Just move out of the way, and 100% of damage can be avoided. If you link your current character's PoB, I can give more personalized advice.
@@bgg-ji8dc ok nice. Atm i dont have the bastion of elements... i cant find it on trade... 😒thx for the answer. I try to follow your guidlines. If i need more help i will ask u later.
With gear equal in power level to what I have currently equipped, probably roughly 60 divines. About half of which would be the +5 battery staff which doesn't even exist on the market and you'd have to craft yourself via fracturing a +3 mod with a fracturing orb. But you can make a cheaper version by making substitutions. For example, you can save 4.5 divines by using a level 3 empower instead of level 4.
What a cool build!
Never seen that ring tech before, good to have in the tool kit.
Well damn this is really cool
Thanks!
If you have time I’d love to see a video on how to league start this! It looks hella expensive 😅
starter build plz..
On the 72 lvl character when over the story - i got all of It like U, but it not work ...all times problems with mana, why?

How do you have zero delay on lightning warp?
15% from Window of Opportunity, 30% from helmet enchant, 55% from Lightning Warp being level 26.
Can you do uber bosses and everyting in endgame?
Yes
Leveling guide?
looks so cool! I'd love to try this build but with a 20 div budget could i get away with a slightly scuffed version and still do ok?
Yeah definitely.
made this build its super great mapper but sadly there are no cheap +3 +2 staffs on market :(

For example, the Window of Opportunity notable allocated through Impossible Escape and the chest-opening mastery provide no damage, but are very nice to have for fast movement and quality of life.

Didn't craft it myself. Bought it for 15 div.
how much does this build cost
