    Honestly its interesting to see the different takes on Charged Bolt and its paragon board. For the most part folks take the same aspects and uniques while stats are slightly different. The Paragon board between everyones take on it are very different however. Some felt less tanky and more damage while others like mine had more tank. Charged Bolts is definitely not fully figured out yet and it shall be interesting to see how it evolves as more seasons come. Always enjoy your take on things Aya.

    Do you have a build for Spear of Lycander and Shako? With the holiday boost, a lot of players will have both Ubers, and there are a lot of paragon nodes that take advantage of the stun effect. I would be interested to see if you choose ball lightning as the build vs choosing chain lightning with the addition of the melted heart uber.
    I'd also be interested to see what PVP builds you like across fire, cold, lightning.

    • @ayajamesaya
      @ayajamesaya  Год назад

      I don't recommend to use Spear of Lycander as we need the Staff of Lam Esen in this build.
      You can remove the Snowveiled Aspect to use Shako, while keeping the Disobedience Aspect and the Everliving Aspect if you have 3 % Armor Stats and can reach 13500 Armor. Otherwise remove the Everliving Aspect and keep the Disobedience Aspect and the Snowveiled Aspect.

      That could be one way. One note that the new glyph benefits from Str/Dex/Wil too so taking all nodes around would be best.

    May I ask why you use the power that gives attack speed? I feel like this build can’t really gain much from attack speed… I’ve been testing it with Hemomancy… it helps soften the big pack of elites and it also heals a bit comes in clutch sometimes.. i also switched infection for the one that gives you unstoppable when you evade (I’m still leveling and trying to get perfect gear so I’m pretty squishy so I made these changes to help me survive

    • @ayajamesaya

    I’m intrigued. I’m currently running Slaydra’s BL build and have his gear and setup almost exactly as he does but doing dungeons I’m having some mans issues yet at the training dummies I can cast all day long. I’m also quite squishy even in tier 85’s. I think with minimal gear changes I could try your build here. It’s looks much safer and less mana hungry. Plus positioning is much less a consideration.
    I do have a question though, how does this build do with suppressor and wallers?

    • @ayajamesaya
      @ayajamesaya  Год назад +1

      Yup! Definitely agree with you.
      VS Suppressor is not great. I would recommend to avoid suppressor NM affix. It slows down our damage and is not worthy the time. One or two suppressors is fine to deal with in normal NM.
      Wallers are fine that this build can melt them too.

      Everyone wanting shako which is great, but I have a feeling The melted heart of selig uber unique amulet is going to be absolutely necessary for abbotoir of zir. Also slydras version isnt that good the mana is unreliable and not using firebolt enchant is menacing, i tried slaydras the damage was lower and mana inconsistent, if u do BL use chain lightning and firebolt enchant with devouring blaze but keep esus ferocity, go back to crackling energy, it works so much better, and the charged glyph works very well with it.

      Yeah if you find mana issues using frost bolt can be a temporary solution. You will lose one stack buff to conjuration mastery.

      I've optimized one for AoZ here at d4builds.gg/builds/ebca0178-dd59-4c6c-a704-f130b1114260/
      The build link is Ball Lightning but the paragon board is interchangeable with Fireworks or Chain Lightning. Before acquiring the Tears of Blood Glyph, use the Charged Glyph for Fireworks/Chain Lightning build on the first board and the Adept glyph for Ball Lightning build.

      @@ayajamesayaso should we just change over to this paragon board instead of the original one?

      @@BigFeej before acquiring the new glyph, the new one has less survivability and less damage if your glyphs are not all above LvL 15 as more additive damage from those magic/rare non physical nodes is more damage than the charged glyph 15%x damage.
      I recommend to use it when you feel super comfortable with your survivability and you have all glyphs upgraded to at least lvl 15 before the new tears of blood glyph. If you have the new glyph, yes the new board is always better.
