[1.0.0.7] Lightning Blade - Dual Wield Lightning Trickster

[TZ_Tz]

It’s a tough little bugger! Thanks for posting this build. I always liked my lightning Trickster but more as a curiosity. This build is much better though and overall very solid!

You’re welcome
Glad that you like it

[TZ_Tz]

Why don’t you try it with Ultos’ Gem? You will get more conversion, much more oa, and chaos resist that can let you drop that component in a sword and use Amber instead for even more conversion.

Empowered Essence of Beronath is better than Ultos’ Gem

+1 to all Skills, AS

Amber for more conversion?
We are not using Soldier anyway, where’s the source of physical damage for conversion?

Even though, I shall use amber for increasing lightning damage if the Chaos Resistance had been capped.
It may possible if we using any MI’s for capping resistances

[TZ_Tz]

Forward looking to the expansion:

Looking forward to this with the new chain lightning constellation.

Also wondering how it would like if we would switch either nightblade or shaman with inquisitor.

It looks new expansion has cool new lightning constellation.
We’ll wait and see how good lightning inquisitor paired with shaman or nightblade

Source for conversion is your sword’s based damage obviously. I also think with your stats attack speed on the amulet does not help us that much.

Here is my take on your trickster.

Lost hp and some da, but got tonns more of damage (thru conversion), oa and energy regen (did not touch skills, but you can toggle them obviously to cap pierce res for example)

Well, Attack Speed, High OA, Crit Damage can increased our damage significantly (There’s an old thread about this - I forgot where it is)
Also +1 to all skills can save more skills points to allocated elsewhere.

Higher DA means we’ll get less crit by Enemy, I mean Fabius Notched Bone

You should stack AS first, but don’t forget the OA to prevent missed hit

RR is important too for damage boosting, there’s also an old thread from Generalcash as far as I remember

Any ideas for level 100? there are new Crystallums but Im not sure about the armor. Also, did you try the new constellation?

[griffisu]

Trying this build in the new exp for lulz

New devo’s might be fun to use

[WCerpel]

when it comes to the devotion points for me, there is allways missing 1 green point to get to rhowan’s crown… where is the mistake?

Build update for AoM on first page

[archaven]

can i ask where to find the stonehide boots?

You craft a lot of them and hope one comes with a “stonehide” prefix as it is quite rare.

Thanks i’ll try it!. Anyway i found Lightning Trickster is really weak in terms of survivability. Kinda suxs Crate is biased and only favors certain build.

• Stonehide Exalted Treads, I crafted it on Fort Ikon BS a lot of times and got a few nice one Stonehide.
• Stonehide Stoneplate Greaves, as my experienced, I got the several nice one from Malmouth Blacksmith, and I never got the good one from Devils Crossing BS.
  Idk if any blacksmith has different drop chance.
  It looks like pure rng, and I got my luck from Malmouth one

Yes, Lightning Trickster should have more gear support with nice defense.
I don’t have any proper gear yet for lightning Trickster.
Mythical Light Defender or Ultos seems viable. I’m not testing it yet…

Hey TZ Tz,

I’m a little confused on how to start off putting points into my devotion page using this build.
Can you put up a guide that shows how you put points into devotion as you level so that I get max benefit while leveling.
I know a lot of people put points into constellations just to refund them later because they needed to fulfill devotion requirements just to get to certain constellations.

You remind me to update this build with more better gear.

Try this : https://www.grimtools.com/calc/m238gxqV

I redistribute some of skill points :

• Ring of Steel (RoS) for CC mobs
• Blade Barrier for Emergency Button

Devotion :

• Take Falcon and bound it to Shadow Strike (SS) --> Nice for Bosses
• Later take Quill or Toad for Lifesteal
• Rhowan’s Crown for Elemental Storm (so you can lvling it asap)
• Take Viper
• Jackal for Total Speed

It seems your skills points is heading at Nightblade mastery
So when you lvl up, put some points into NB mastery aiming for Execution

If you want more HP, take Shaman mastery until you reach Heart of the Wild
Then put some point into it

I ever lvling NB mastery playing Blade Trap and Ring of Steel for CC mobs
Those two skills are Cool, feel like real Ninja

If you want play Caster style
Take Full Shaman Mastery :

• Wind Devil + Storm Totem + Stormcaller’s Pact + Elemental Storm
• Shadow Strike for mobility
• Ring of Steel for CC
• Veil of Shadow make your enemies slow
• Pneumatic Burst for Healing

This way you can leveling up easy and faster ^^

Hey, I am afraid Tz_Tz is no longer active in gd or on forums. His build won’t work well in FG.

But, I have made a Lightning Trickster that destroys all content in FG, you can check it out here.

[Aoex]

Damn that sucks, thanks for the info, I’ll be sure to check out your build.
