Well, this isnt happening, as all i have right now is a shitty laptop, and the recording is very bad

How viable do you think a maelstrom/psionic storm hybrid would be? Maelstrom for killing & psionic storm for healing (&some dmg too*) then void+maelstrom will replenish the lost mp while back to attacking. I've found psionic storm healing to be helpful even at low level usage. Pots are still useful especially to get rid of poison but they also run out. With psionic storm as long as I have mana I can use it, plus I can hold it in til hp is back. Not sure how many points is worth investing into storm though. Also I would have the option for going psionic set on 2nd item slots but I currently have shamanka there.

*Not sure how high of dmg the psionic storm dmg could get while focusing on maelstrom but the psionic storm guide the dmg gets up to ~440k dmg. Not really using psi storm for dmg but even a fraction of that while healing is better than nothing.

I had a rift goblin in teganze straight up drop a jaxis rune. Would making a lily helmet (

wait, goblins can drop enhanced runes?

yep I got it off of the rift one, I think that was the one. Same one that drops essences/runestones. I think it's set up so that rift goblin drops item associated with the rift they're in. I also had a goblin pop up in the middle of a fight with the imbaru boss and that one dropped some sacred stuff for me.

Yes, the rift inspectors can. They drops the stuffs which you can find in the rift (set items in kurast, SUs in duncraig, etc....)

I’m currently at ~10k-12k maelstrom dmg atm fully buffed is that about right given the following...
Level 128
~6k dex <—- I fully went dex once I acquired dawn which might be a problem w/ str if I want to switch to voidxis.

Dawn-xis(offhand-shamanka) / hexward / abandoned crafted+blessed armor & boots/witchunter hood/ klaatu amu/ endless loop/ 2 x rip stars

I haven’t yet acquired royal circlet, snake beads or glory rings yet. Hive from klaatu does ~10/11k dmg not sure how dmg works for that though. I also have 7 skill points left I can spend..

Meh the build is kinda deadish. The fauzt clearspeed is very lackluster considering the gearing.

Even with 12k dex and 18k maelstrom damage it just feels lackluster considering the investment.

Maximum damage you're going to push is maybe 20-22k but it's kinda whatever.
