Hey man thanks for the shoutout. Dope build. I didnt know about the Thunderstorm frequency at higher level. Definitely wanna look into that more then. Cheers dude!
Dude! Honored to have you stop by! When I found out about the Thunderstorm frequency, it really got me pumped. You deserve all the shoutouts being a standout from all the cookie cutter builds, yours are truly creative on a different level. I love your toxic bowa (among all the others) and the music. I'm here for all of it 🤘🙏
@@noknownthrone2487 thanks bud. That is very generous of you to say and i really appreciate it. Honestly, i get hung up on some of the negative comments from people so it really is nice to hear someone audibly give a shout out and be cool and fun about it. Glad you like the tunes as well!
keep up the good work, my man. The videos are entertaining, but whenever you can upgrade the microphone, if you can. Other than that, the videos are really fun.
Thanks friend! Yea, I need to upgrade to a good mic for sure. Funny, I was just talking about this today! I’ll get that sorted out soon for sure, really appreciate the encouragement and you stopping by to check it out! 🙏
Hey, thanks for stopping by! I agree, the aesthetics are always subject to opinion. But she does look mighty rad. I really want a black looking armor and setup, or something white. Who knows, maybe I'll figure out another one soon! Appreciate your comment :)
Off-meta Michael is on a other level, that dude is down to have fun with the game in true D2 spirit, and has an absolute BEAST of a mind. I have high respect for him, and his channel deserves to be seen by more people. You bring an excellent topic, budget. I think I'm going to work on that my friend! Maybe I can make some interesting builds that can function on budget. Let me ask you; when you say budget, would something like a Tal sorc be in that realm for you? Or anything along the lines of Mavina's or Griswold's? Or are you think even more budget? You are really making me think here, and I love it!
@@noknownthrone2487 Yes I would qualify that as budget. And I think budget stuff is fun. My ladder strats are trading away high value items early while value is high while my character is "budget". In a couple weeks you'll basically have everything you need lol
Hey, thanks! It’s super fun to play, I really enjoy when the screen clears. It’s a surprisingly fast cow clearing build. Pretty sure I can figure some other setups as well. I really appreciate this comment and you checking it out, cheers! 🙏🤘🏻
I haven’t tried yet, but want to test that out. Normally aura builds fall of quickly once the player count goes up. However, this one is a little different since it has a screen sized static field with a good amount of -res. Maybe this would be a good follow up video. Hmmm..🤔 Stay tuned!
I just tested out on single player and set the game to players 8. I was able to still run through cows and Chaos Sanctuary decently for sure. You just need to be sure to static, and then supplement your damage by casting your Nova which is around 2k. Cows still went pretty quick considering p8. Diablo gets down to 1/4 health immediately and then your nova, pulses, and thunderstorm drain him down. You can see when thunderstorm hits him, it is small chunks in the remaining life that looks like it’s draining from the nova and pulses.
Just finished this build yesterday and boy is she fun! I use 24fhr armor with 5/5 facets. I didnt max L storm but nova and use L storm on switch. Works like a charm.
Yea, she's pretty mighty! I imagine there's some cool things you can play around with on this one, just like you using Nova. I love how Thunderstorm will snipe minion bosses sometimes, it's very satisfying. But even with me only having 1 point to nova currently, she still does decent damage from all the -res! Cheers, and thanks for stopping by!
Its a really fun build but at the same time, budget is the key in my opinion... if you have infinity, than whatever lightning build is working well should not surprise anyone 😂 u use infinity and light. damage and call it a day. Another thing is that some - % enemy lightning res. is too much. Its good to check cause maybe ur crescent moon is not changing that much.... but not sure how much that plays out. Hyperion and looks gr8 and have quite high block chance! Nice work anyway, I like the idea of the build
Thanks for the comment! You are right, there are occasions where you can have too much -enemy resist. For this build, I want the most damage against sundered monsters to help my build not slow down. Sundered monsters are 95 lights resist and infinity works at only 1/5 its effectiveness which I think is -17% bringing sundered monsters down to 78 resist which is still tanky against light damage. Crescent moon and my armor bring them down another 55% dropping them to 23%. So they still have positive resist, but can take decent damage. Non-sundered monsters get a huge reduction and get wiped really well. I would love max block, but since I am energy shield, it would take too much mana away. I agree though, not a budget build, 2x Dreams, 4x light facets and an infinity + other gears. This is just a super fun build when I want to deviate away from cookie cutter! I’m stoked you stopped by and like it, maybe it will get you thinking of something cool too! Appreciate you 🙏🤘🏻
You have a great point. Mostly looking for skills and resist on the armor since I don’t need him to actually kill. Viper is my placeholder until I decide to toss on a CoH. At that point I’ll probably upgrade his helmet to probably an Andy or Shako. I appreciate you stopping by to check it out! 🙏 In other circumstances it would probably be Fort or Duress
@@VDViktor oh shoot! Yes, you are correct, Dream helm and shield, that is my bad!! I get so sidetracked literally all the time. Appreciate you checking out my video, means a lot to me 🤘🏻🙏 Posted a new Amazon video just now 😎 More to come as well, just gotta keep thinking of stuff. Good luck to you on loot if you are playing!
Isn't it interesting!? The lightning master buffs up dream's holy shock aura a tad more than a synergized paladin (however, paladin can push the aura up to high 40's). The static just melts them and the aura finishes them off. It's "shockingly" effective! Thanks for stopping by, I am planning on putting out some more videos soon. Re-arranging the office first :D
Hey there! Yes, I haven't actually tried this in higher player counts but I agree with you. Static will do a whole lot of the work for you, but the pulse damage obviously will fall off quickly. Thunderstorm hits like a truck though. This is definitely meant as a fun solo running character when bored of cookie cutter shenanigans! I think I'm going to try it out and see how it goes. Maybe I'll make a video to follow-up. Thanks for stopping by!
@@BudaFZ For sure, yea I don’t play single player much, mostly online but solo, so high player count isn’t really a thing for me. I think I will still try this one out though, static across the entire screen will at least chunk enemies down to 1/4, and you have about 2k nova damage to supplement the aura pulses with a huge Thunderstorm slamming down at around 10-20k damage to finish off the baddies. Auras without static will surely struggle above p3

@@off-meta-michael Ignore the negativity, keep rocking my dude! 🤘
Yup Mike is gr8!! Ur build also very interesting ❤
@@pawelisy He is one of my favorites in the D2 realm for sure, I need to go catch up on his channel this weekend. 🤘

I agree. I think that more big RUclipsrs should encourage off-meta builds, but I try to stay away from meta builds. Cool sorc.
Thanks dude, means a lot! I’ve always loved messing with different ideas. It’s important to keep that spirit alive! Thanks for stopping by 🙏
coolest looking?? debatable.. coolest build? one of, definitely, yeah.

Matching everything always looks cool.
You what look retarded? Bone shield. _Always_ looks wrong.
That's a sick build bro! You have inspired me for sure!!!
Glad you like it, it's super fun. It's surprisingly effective as well!
Nice vid . I liked that throw barb off meta Micheal made . I also like seeing budget stuff personally

Yeah, Off-Meta Michael and Double Billy made some really cool builds.
Highly recommend both.
Haven’t seen Double Billy, will definitely check it out! Thanks for the recommendation and especially thanks for checking out my channel! 🤟
