Updated the mobalytics link with gear, leveling trees and gems: mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/7beb198b-3d87-4445-914a-b9556a6ecfbc/builds/f35c7e8c-ecba-4855-828c-e2ad65bf2438
This really helped me out! I was initially going for a full lightning build, but after watching the previous video, I tried experimenting with the ice/lightning combo. I wasn’t a big fan of it, though. I’m glad to be back with the full lightning build, but I do wish I hadn’t wasted resources on the other one. Oh well, live and learn!
The cold build is still good and that ring can be used for a lot more builds then just this one. But once you start to do the more endgame stuff this version is just better.
Thanks for this update ! I started into your other version this morning and I'm loving it , even more excited now because I was actually still using LA / LR . Liked/sub'd :)
@SiahZ nice build i love it - it's so much fun and very a good guide. is there a reason why u dont use Maligaro's Virtuosity Fine Bracers for more cit chance?
I'm a little confused with the synergy of this so sorry if this is a silly question but how can u run cast on shock ball lightening with mag salvo doesn't salvo destroy all your rods so there is none for ball lightening to pop when u shock and vice versa like would it be better to just run one over the other and not together
Hi nice update to the build, im going with something similar and would have love to see your character stats to see how much int you need and ball lightning level. I'm struggling to meet high dex and good int, while still needing some str for the gems. Do you think that Cast on shock is more efficient than both herald of ice and herald of thunder for AoE and cleaning packs ?
so to run this setup your going to need around 120 int and 160 spirit, with this setup we do not run herald of ice so you should drop that for cast on shock. But I will be having an updated version of the build drop soon that is way better when it comes to bossing and survivability with the same clear as this one.
I would probably say the first one I put out. The cold version requires call of the brotherhood which is pricey. The first one I put out will allow you to get said currency to go into this build or the cold version. If you do run the first version I put out run lightning arrow to clear. But I will be having an updated version of the build drop soon that is way better when it comes to bossing and survivability with the same clear as this one.
I am a bit confused, i have a good bit of this already setup but i dont get anywhere near the amount of energy build up as you do for the ball lightning to cast some information would be so nice
Is there any viable support gems to slot in the last Magnetic salvo slot? I had already upgraded mine to a 6 socket before discovering this build. I will sell the gem if 5 is what's recommended.
6 will give you a lot more damage, so when it comes to what to run I would run I would try out ranged combat support. But I would just test support gems and see what give it more damage overall. But I will be having an updated version of the build drop soon that is way better when it comes to bossing and survivability with the same clear as this one. and I am gong to try to get a 6th link for magnetic salvo so I will give more info then if I can get my hands on one.
you can use it if you are close but we use a lot of passives that gives us more damage if we are farther away from them so that's why we get distance to get max damage.
Awesome work man. Can’t wait to get home and follow this build. I’ve seen some cast on shock builds and some magnetic salvo builds. Been debating which way I want to go. But this is the best of both worlds. What’s a good goal for my intelligence and dex? And how would you suggest reaching those points for both? I know I can use the enhancements to the quiver bonuses to help with either, but as far as the passives go, should I just alternate between dex/int?
so you are looking for around 212 dex and 115-120 INT, So I would get 2 INT rings and then grab int on the tree to meet that int and then the rest dex.
you get so many orbs it's insane! i changed to this spec but don't get nearly as many orbs. i'm still missing like 15-18 passive points though before i can reach your tree
Why u need crit chance if gem on magnetic salvo guarantees a critical strike? Wouldn't it be better to make a build focused on raw damage and crit damage bonus something instead of crit chance? I don't understand what the purpose is, because the magnetic fubgun build doesn't use crit chance.
so the gem does not guarantee a crit, it give 100% increase crit chance meaning that if we have 10 percent chance it will only add around another 10% chance on that.
I will be having an updated version of the build drop soon that is way better when it comes to bossing and survivability with the same clear as this one. Plus like you said it will be using cast on crit now.
Hey, i wanted to ask if cast on shock is really all that important, i notice that it procs super rarely as most things die before u shock therefore u dont gain any charges, it feels like the dmg hasnt changed all that much with its addition. Perhaps the stats and points could be used for something else? Wanted to know your opinion
Also for the next guide could you please show off your detailed stats on some of the more important skills? Would be nice to see stuff like crit chance for comparison
Idk if it’s just my bow or what, but I’m level 30, into act 2, and I’m doing the whole lightning arrow lightning rod orb or storms all that stuff, my dps with lightning arrow is like 200, and I’m taking forever to kill anything not peon mob related My monk buddy for example has skills that do 800dps I have also average passive tree progression and I grabbed the one section increasing the elemental damages also and the one that does penetration as well
Sorry, I'm new to this game, how do I do a triple shot? I saw there is a "Fork" support gem, but I didn't see it on yours, If someone could explain, I would appreciate it
Hi! Love your content, thanks for that, man! Just one question, for now... Why not Stand and Deliver for enemies within 2m range? I am begginer and still learning but no matter what I do there are always some fast bastards that come close to me 😀
We’re not running that because our focus is on maximizing crit chance. By using Sniper and Death from Afar, we gain increased crit chance the farther we are from enemies. If we used Stand and Deliver, we’d lose that bonus, which is crucial for this build.
@@SiahZ sorry, my question was not clear... I meant to ask, why not run both? As long as Stand and Deliver doesn't cancel Death from Afar, using both is best from both worlds so to speak. Where ever enemies are bonus is counting. It is extra 3 points tho... Not sure if I am missing something. Thanks for fast answer btw!
@@enbard They both would work but obviously we would not get both at the same time. on top of that we are putting 3 more points into that area on the tree when we can be using them for more up time on different passives that would give us more damage.
I didnt know the new electrocute passives were already live. Thanks for this! Idk if this helps or if it's better but I'm currently running my Electrocute Gem on my Herald of Thunder with Neural Overload, it still gives decent electrocute build up, lets your other skills electrocute and frees up a gem slot in Lightning Rod for Conc effect.
mark, rods into lightning arrow to get the shock then get the stun into freezing salvo then mag for huge damage for bossing. For mobbing just rods into lightning arrow.

@ for sure, I’ve got some gearing to do. I also poured some GCP’s into COS which helps withe energy gain. I think I also need to level a bit too to get to your level of procing since the max skill level gems I have are 14. Nice guide, thanks again

You might be confusing Maim with Blind. 12:04 you say it reduces evasion rating and accuracy. Also please start using correct terminology. When you are getting increased mana regen from Clarity, might as well use the correct term the game is using, which is Increased. Else it just leads to newcoming build followers to also start using incorrect terminology. When the game states a bonus providing more damage it's always a new multiplier in the equation. When it states increase its always additive to other mods that also state increase. (Base + Flat) * ( Increase1 + Increase2 ) * ( More1 ) * ( More2 )

How are you using Inspiration on CoS? The gem is x out saying it doesn't support CoS. So you aren't getting the 40% reduction.
Detailed written guide, with actual leveling info..... INSTANT like!
Seriously though..... Looks great and the mobalytics is well done.

Been loving your build guides, keep them coming!
Will do!
Good to see u adding Lightning arrow for the clear, i was also using it just cus salvo seemed slow for the mobs
Your thumbnail is really standing out. Not at all like any others I have seen. Very creative and captivating. Nice job
@SiahZ
nice build i love it - it's so much fun and very a good guide.
is there a reason why u dont use Maligaro's Virtuosity Fine Bracers for more cit chance?
so the gloves fix our crit damage to 300% and will not allow us to go over that percent. So if we had like 400% then it would actually nerf us.
Ok i will try this, ty for the update
I'm a little confused with the synergy of this so sorry if this is a silly question but how can u run cast on shock ball lightening with mag salvo doesn't salvo destroy all your rods so there is none for ball lightening to pop when u shock and vice versa like would it be better to just run one over the other and not together
mag salvo is for the bosses when they are fully debuffed. i just did 70% dmg with it on chimera
Thx for the good work. Time to find some spirit.
Very well explained, great video.

Thanks for this video, I had a question how high do ya level all the gems? do ya max em 20-21?
Yes if you can run max level gems then do it as that will give us more dps.
Im at lvl 45. Which build would you recommend to use at the moment? Your 1st lighting build or lighting with call of the brotherhood?
I would probably say the first one I put out. The cold version requires call of the brotherhood which is pricey. The first one I put out will allow you to get said currency to go into this build or the cold version. If you do run the first version I put out run lightning arrow to clear. But I will be having an updated version of the build drop soon that is way better when it comes to bossing and survivability with the same clear as this one.
What do you recommend for a ranger still grinding through act 3 cruel? I’m level 60 and lightning arrow isn’t doing it for me anymore I need to pivot
I would run lightning arrow/rods and magnetic salvo for boss dps.
Now imagine if this entire build were on Maxroll instead of mobalytics
is maxroll better?
@@SiahZ Yes, more detailed.
@SiahZ Yes, it gives you more resources to make the build. Also, it's MUCH better for those following your build, but like MUCH MUCH better.
Quick question - why use inspiration on cast on shock? the explanation when i hover over inspiration says it can't support skills that reserve spirit.
its for the ball lightning, not the cast on shock itself
I am a bit confused, i have a good bit of this already setup but i dont get anywhere near the amount of energy build up as you do for the ball lightning to cast some information would be so nice
so if you got all the same gems supports as I do it comes down to having a good bow. once you got a good damaging bow it will start to proc more.
Is there any viable support gems to slot in the last Magnetic salvo slot? I had already upgraded mine to a 6 socket before discovering this build. I will sell the gem if 5 is what's recommended.

For the salvo do you need to go to long range for it to hit rod area ? or can u use ball of lightning instead if you are close ?
you can use it if you are close but we use a lot of passives that gives us more damage if we are farther away from them so that's why we get distance to get max damage.
