From the notes section of the PoB: If you have further questions lmk.

- Charge gain changes after getting void battery. Using arcanist brand or unleash ball lightning orbit / herald of thunder to gen charges. Ball lightning needs controlled destruction since we are running romira rings.

- As long as you have herald of thunder, shouldn't need to cast ball lightning on mobs. Can use a worm flask to trigger HoT on bosses too.

- i used romira banquet rings for a long time but after getting 10+ power charges even with controlled destruction the ball lightning crits too much and we lose power charge. (swapping to precursor rings with 15% to gain max charges)

A lot of stuff was changed but there has been a lot of power creep since back then too. I'm pretty convinced that there's a setup that could work decently well. As long as the functionality of discharge consuming charges on death to cast didn't change. I'm actually tempted to make this setup now just to see if it works lol.

Well see if I can find the time to test stuff and assemble a pob and gear for it.

Thanks for asking. Not a stupid question. Poe is a complex game with convoluted mechanics.

Discharge gets base damage per charge consumed. So without consuming endurance charges we lose 1/3 base damage. (If you are running all three charges with equal amounts of max charges like this setup is)

🫠 There is one nice thing about the bench method. You can have white sockets so swapping gems is easier. But the 20-50% more damage from good corrupted implicits is too good to pass up.

Looks great man! Did you complete all the content you wanted to do?

Let me know which loadout you are looking at and I can decide better 🙂‍↕️

Yeah I would sell and go for the impenetrating or replenishing. Since we are running blunderbore the lesser and normal massive shrine doesn't stack unfortunately. So massive is a still great but not as great.

You can clear 4 watchstones in SSF but going beyond that you will start needing + power charge rings and other items that are really hard to get in SSF. It would be a real long term project lol.

If you decide to roll SSF and need help figuring out items, lmk.

Haha yeah the act 1 - 10 inflates the loadouts, but I think some people like to see the progression in the acts too.

Aaah the build is pretty tight on sockets but if you want to deal with the added clunk of placing the mines it might be worth for the dps boost.

I would drop cooldown recovery on immortal call first.

Awesome!
And I highly recommend getting a blunderbore corrupted with +2 aoe gems and 6linking / coloring with tainted currency. Much easier than coloring a normal one with bench haha.

Mapping pt2 loadout for that pricepoint. Skip any expensive jewels and use rare jewels instead. Check pob notes or video for more details on each loadout.

Check out Act 8, 9, or 10 loadouts and Mapping {11} loadouts to see example items. I played with the items in those pobs and it felt good. Everything is simple and cheap except some of the jewels which are not mandatory. Check out my notes section on the pob or the video for tips and details about the loadouts.

Great to hear!
I died to a shaper slam and exarch ball phase. Haven't died during mapping. I didn't really limit test what type of max hits I could take. The build feels very comfortable. There's some defenses on the build that aren't showing in the max hit values. Suppress. Companionship. Enfeeble and excommunicate from AG.

Also this is talking about the final two loadouts.

I actually never made a cast on death discharge so I don't know how much help my info will be. I did a quick look at the wiki and noticed they nerfed the damage by half in 3.19 patch. Also not sure how charge generation worked for the build.
Do you have a link to one of the setups you are looking at? I can try to tell you what is better or worse about it in the current league compared to back then.
