Why not convert fire dmg to lightning if you're always doing surge which now casts flameweave, since all your damage besides flameweave is lightning too?
Flame reave is more of our buff/CC skill rather than our damage dealer. But yeah, we can get the fire to lightning node, and once flame reave gets the lightning tag, we can get another skill point due to fragment of the enigma. thanks for this
hi, how do you apply spark charge with flame reave? there isn't any support for it on the skill tree so from other sources you can get only like 35% chance to apply it
@@retroejoe I don't think this is true bro. As you mentioned in the video, I do think you can get 4 Spark Charges when you use Surge because you are "hitting" the target 4 different times. However, I do not think you can apply more than one Spark Charge "per hit". I have tested having over 100% chance to apply Spark Charge "on hit" and it only seems to apply 1 Spark Charge max. Odd, because this is unlike any other mechanic I've seen in the game...For example Shock; If you have a 200% chance to apply Shock "on hit", you will indeed apply 2 stacks of Shock per hit. So how this applies to your build bro: Depending on how well you rolled "% chance to apply Spark Charge" on your idols, you may not necessarily need all 5 points in the Storm Blade passive to reach your 100% cap. The good news is this build still pumps regardless. Again, IF I am correct, this also means you can now reinvest your spark charge passive skill points in Mana Strike & Surge. Please feel free to test this out for yourself and let me know if you get different results. My test was to observe how many stacks of Shock I applied with Mana Strike while having over 100% chance to apply Spark Charge. As my Dad, who is a science teacher, often says, "The Scientific Method works better the more people repeat an experiment."
@@chasmurphy1227 Spark charge counts as an ailment (as stated on wiki). You have a chance to apply 2 spark charges per melee hit provided that you have more than 100% chance to apply spark charge on hit. Maybe the reason that we only see one spark charge explosion is that they are being applied the exact same time (since mana strike and surge hits only one time per cast) With this setup: mana strike - 2 SC surge - 2SC flame reave - 2SC (expanding wave and return) lightning blast - 0 to 8ish hits(depends on rng) I tested it out multiple times using the dummy, and the damage difference with spark charge idols and without is around 20-40k per spark charge. it's kinda frustrating that we don't have an ailment icon for spark charge to prevent these kinds of confusion.

can you do showcase on t4 julra?
i will try, if I can survive
@@retroejoe ah okay, so it's arguable can beat t4 julra?
@@jackasad2180 it can, but it will take long. the build is more on mono farming rather than bossing
can you apply more than one spark charge per hit?
Yes, you can
