    stormcall is going to be insane.

    Can you imagine that with a butt load of +cast speed?

    I have 50% chance to do static without crit with my arc.

    I'm gonna do cast on damage taken chain arc to spread aoe static and curse on hit

    omg the insanity

    - - - Updated - - -

    does curse on hit need to be linked to an attack to activate? Wiki doesn't specify, just says you need to hit.

    It does. It has a chance to activate when the ability it's linked with hits.

    Damn, well I can link it to storm call I suppose instead of arc.

    Just as I thought I'd quit... they pull me back in. Or did they?
    Interested in making a Storm Caller-build of sorts but then I realized that spellcasters suck in this game unless I'm doing some lame-ass totem-build or cast-on-crit

    How do you even do Elemental Reflect packs with a caster? O_o I know melee doesnt give a fuck about reflect or lightning thorns, though... or at least none of the melee I played before did due to Life on Hit + Leech from gear.

    Most casters I've seen use CI+Ghost Reaver+Vaal Pact to deal with reflect.

    And to go CI you need a ton of currency... So that rules out playing a caster, I guess

    I guess I could just go Vaal Pact without CI? But then again you probably need to go Shavronnes + Low-life (Pain Attunement) to do proper damage as a caster anyways.

    It just feels like you just cant play a caster in this game unless you have like 20+ EX worth of currency (which I dont have... not on Nemesis anyway).

    Melee is a no-go and Spectral Throw got boring after 2xlvl75+ toons... And I just brainfarted my first nemesis toon (Elemental Split Arrow) on Corrupted Blood at lvl42 (my alt+f4 skills really arent good enough for this game). And since caster is out it just feels like theres nothing left to try :P

    I say this but I'll probably be making a new toon of some sort tomorrow... or the day after. Maybe.

    I've been wondering about a build for a while, but lack the currency to try it out, the problem is it has to be viable on nemesis/HC.

    The idea is a cast on crit tank.

    So:

    A shadow with 2x Ungil's gauche for the crit chance (offensive) and block chance (defensive). Possibly Lazhwar's amulet and/or rainbow stride to get some spell block. This would probably be fully evasion based, in order to get spell evasion as well from the passive tree.

    Spectral throw+lmp+cast on crit+ethereal knives

    Spec into critical strike chance, but not into any damage, as ethereal knives does quite ok damage on its own (so basically spectral throw would do shitty damage, but it should proc EK a lot)

    However...if this build works like I think it works, physical reflect would be hard to deal with. Would Arctic Armour be a good defense against that? If so I could imagine trying to spec into life/evasion/mana, and trying to get Mind of Matter possibly.

    In any case, I've never really theorycrafted a build, so I was wondering if this is complete crap or if it actually might work?

    Sorry for the probably pretty confusing post, and thanks for your time

    Yeah, it is possible. There is a life-based Vaal Pact discharger that doesn't use Shavronne's/low-life, though I'm not sure how much currency is required to make that work.

    I made a similar build with 2 gauches and reave/cast on crit /arc. I was also using that chest piece that gives you 5% hp regen on block via consecrated ground, whatever its called.

    Worked out fine until I hit 55 and derped on General's molten shield. I thought I would survive it with 50% fire resist and 1,600 hp on cruel. He proved me wrong by one-shotting me with it. I might've had a shock stack on me too. Regardless, its definitely viable before end-game and you will be nigh-invincible to attack damage.

    Block totally negates damage so the more block you have the less damage you take hence triggers less.

    I have one CwDT gem at level 1 for casting enduring cry and another at level 12 for casting molten shell. I did this as my enduring cry simply didn't trigger enough if I leveled the CwDT gem.

    Block isn't full proof though
