  1. Thank you for the video. I am currently lvl46 but my dmage is very low even i followed your set ups, i got stuck at act 3 the moment T T any recommentations? i don't know how to boost my damage like yours up to 3100 at 0:35 many thanks

  2. Was using a different lighting build but I like this one much more, when I level a bit more I'm going to build into this, going to cost so much to respec though I just started Act 2

  3. Insane build. Very fun to play. Although I implemented one change. I have found Kitoko's Current gloves which basically give the same benefit as Electrocuting Arrow – every Lighting attack contributes to Electrocution buildup. Together with Galvanic Shards skill it melts through hordes of enemies, stunning them all the time almost instantaneously (it's faster this way to clear maps). I only switch to different gloves during boss fights for slightly higher DPS and Shockburst Rounds do their magic (on Elites, Shockburst is the choice). Apart from that, no change needed.

  4. Was disappointed because I pivoted my entire build towards this one but wasn't doing damage until I noticed I was using a bad bow for it (splinteheart), as soon as I switched the bow, results were there, thank you so much!

  5. I've been playing it for 2 days and it's pretty fun. I've also experimented a lot and optimized it for myself in some places. It's a pretty funny build. I would be interested to know if you have already come up with new things. would you have a few more updates for us? thanks
