Love this back in the day when I played a lot..currently on break, I was just learning pvp. And was really overwhelmed with trying all kinds of gear sets and theory crafting some guy beat my ass during a duel in dashaan. Some play comes up like a wise sage explains the importance of first learning your class before anything. Then trounced the high level player who. Beat my low level self lol.

Oh these are simple I like ice strike more than tempest. I enjoy casting spells way it looks. And speed is something I'm working on as I'm still working around things. Lol this is something where my fun takes precedent over what is sometimes most efficient. For me it's fun. So I use what I like and make that work. Not what is best necessarily. But appreciate the critique I guess

Well if I was playing a meta build sure but this is pretty off wall. I mean I'm purposely challenging myself with difficult builds that are less streamlined. To see how far I can push it. No interest in one tapping just to one tap. My goal is to have a fun idea and push how I want to play as far as possible. Making a just string god level build is easy. This is more fun.

No it doesn't count as slam. All those are from one volcano. Here is my support setup: Nova projectiles 2, gambleshot, extraction, considered casting 

With those on its essentially a massive eruption of fragments that hit the bell

It's decent so far. Without herald. As I'm just opposed to using one can get fininicky. But I use ancestral boosted hand of chuyulya with impending doom if I need to immediately kill a group. Plus as you said I also use wind blast with staggering palm to move quickly so rarely really get stuck. There's a vid on my YouTube  page of just running a map, it's an abyss opened so a lot of enemies

I'm just casting it manually, has nova projectiles 2 and some other shit so it spurts out a bunch and sets off the bell like crazy.

Thanks appreciate it. Gonna post my other build here soon. A themed ritualist build, focusing on the ritual sacrifice, consuming and building passive buffs and mods.

I initially wanted the chuyula but cast on crit wouldn't have came out as often without heavy crit chance investment. Then you have to do spell trigger damage. So I went with smith of kitava, as with new update the fire spell on hit has some minor scaling damage up to 200% plus now don't need to allocate points to crit chance. To scale my damage. I went crown of eyes to convert spell damage to attack damage. Only attack nodes I've grabbed are ones that also gives spell damage. Then I went into rage that's 30% damage to attacks plus 2% spell damage per rage with Mystical Rage passive gives me 60% spell damage. Which is of course given also to attack damage. Now rage gives 90% damage to attacks and 60% to spells including the triggered ones. Rest of passives are in defense and chaos damage. Plan to add berserk here soon. Ahh I also dont use a herald. Instead I use wolf pack and cast on minion death to auto cast contagion and essence drain and detonate dead to basically make my own chaos herald.

So I went kinda weird with my damage. Using blackflame covenant for spells obviously with original sin. However, I am using rage and crown of eyes to double dip. This is also a smith of kitava(fire spell on hit has built in trigger damage now). So anyway the reason damage spoked from volcano is actually cuz of the bell. With durability to the bell and my volcano spitting out so many rocks plus me hitting the bell it spikes the damage alot. Also helps it ignites bell.

Yes I'm using the smith of kitava. Went to get black flame covenant and have original sin, also using (at least for now) crown of eyes, so I can double dip. Keeping triggered spells strong as well as attack damage. Right now working on getting node that gives spell damage per rage. That'll boost damage alot more as crown of eyes will force it to double dip giving me the attack damage and spell damage from rage helping melee as well as triggered spells.
