[3.3] ELEMENTAL MOLTEN STRIKE&FROST BLADES | UBER ELDER DOWN!! | DEADEYE/PF/RAIDER

- Drop the 4 points to Phase Acrobatics
- Drop Vaal Pact (OPTIONAL - determine this for yourself, for those that are well geared, you will probably not need VP for survival)
- Take 3 points on Beserking
- Place the other 2 nodes on Life nodes.

I am also recommending an Abyss jewel

With Molten Strike, especially when we setup Multistrike and Ancestral Call together, we are pumping so many projectiles/balls that we are just going to blind enemies even if there is only one jewel.

Basically try to fit in an Abyss jewel with blind enemies on hit somewhere in your tree. I'm already knee deep into my jewels but I'd like to see what happens if I fill the abyss jewels with % blind on hit. But right now, one seems to be doing a fine job. I have definitely noticed a difference in survival with it.

I've been able to facetank the Shaper beam (flasks need to be up) and Minotaur boss without these nodes.

The only thing that I find that can actually kill my character are 1 shots, and a high life pool is the best way to avoid that.

I did not actually intend to try this version but I ended up doing so whilst finding a pseudo 7L glove randomly at what I thought was a super cheap price (80c).



Since then I have upgraded from these gloves and have put it to sell for 80c, if you are interested in purchasing these, just mention that you are following this guide and I'll let you buy them for super cheap!

The reality of this build is that it works really well with most skill gems and can use a variety of gear. It is very versatile which makes experimenting with it fun and easy. As of right now, it is my personal favourite of 5 builds I have played this season.

I am using Frost Blades as a clearing link but Lightning Strike and Wild Strike are also good choices, although after some testing, I just feel Frost Blades is the best at clearing. The gameplay is really cool, use Frost Blades to clear your entire screen and if there are enemies that end up getting into melee range of you, drop Molten Strike balls on their face.

Current Gear:



As of January 28, 2018, the Mathil-effect is on the full train as he just released a build using the Inpulsa chest. But this chest is kind of mandatory to be able to push the clear speed limits past that of the single current AOE Molten Strike Shroud/Carcass setup.

Unfortunately due to a lack of skill gem slots we are forced to into less variety. I have removed Orb of Storms with Power Charge on Critical and the Onslaught-Poachers Mark setup. They have been replaced with:

Curse on Hit - Assassin's Mark - Herald of Ice - Blood Rage

We are kind of forced to manually generate our own Power/Frenzy charges rather than let it do it automically in the previous setup.

A solid rare amulet works fine with this build, I am using Choir of the Storm as it gives me the most crit strike chance which is needed to apply Shock.

Lightning Golem has also been replaced with Ice Golem to give us more crit and allow more shockplosions (and slightly more single target dps).

For the rare gloves you want:
Elder Socketed Gems are supported by Level 18 Faster Attacks
Socketed Gems deal 175-225 additional Fire Damage
+ Attack Speed (>10%)
+ Max Life

In these Gloves, you link Frost Blades-Ancestral Call-Multistrike-Elemental Damage /w Attacks. IT doesn't have much single target damage, which is why you drop Molten balls when enemies get close, but its clear speed for trash is amazing and I'd say it gets real close to Kinetic Blast levels.

The downside of this hybrid version is that we lose about 10-15% dps of what we would usually get for single target Molten Strike. However with this hybrid version I have done all content except for Uber Atziri which I have not attempted due to its cost. Molten Strike does ridiculous damage regardless, and the option of just equipping Tombfists to boost your damage against certain bosses is always there.

I debated whether putting this build into this thread as it is slightly different but its principles are still the same. This is another fun option for anyone who would like to try it out!
