@Crash have you done any messing around with Charged Strike? It seems like a natural fit for the build and looks like it could be insane for single target.

I tried it at a lower level. I know its much stronger when you have 8-9 bolts, but I'm still waiting on finding Akarat's Trek to pair with the belt to see how it does. its 125% WDM, so it should be decent.

I can write one at some point, but I never used one during the playthrough to know how well he works.

I honestly feel. Like this build is the best of Diablo 2 lightning zon with charged strike and hammerdin.

Thanks for putting this together I finally can get rid of my summon totem nec to farm everything and move faster than a snails pace with minions

The SU you have put for end game gear, those can only be found off monsters right? You can't craft them like 1-4 TU's?

Ok, so.... Why not forego Asterism and choose this? Its not that great of a passive anyways. You don't need magnetic field and you get the added benefit of all these stats (especially MF which is hard to find).

I've been playing this build for a while now, and most of the time its a walk in the park. Excelent build, and excelent guide!
Im currently lvl 120, and figured i'd give Tran Athula a try, and boi oh boi do i get destroyed in there.

i have 174% FHR, 146% FBR, but as soon as i run around a corner i meet a wall of arrows and instantly drop dead.

Is there something im missing about that place?


Defense? Phys resist? I had no issues, so I'm curious. just keep hammers up and don't sprint around, Im not sure what to say without moer info


My defenses are 241946, and my phys resist is 25%. (577% TCD, 48 PDR)

because that helmet is terrible in relation to the asterism bonuses of max damage and tcd. feel free to use it all you want, but in the bigger picture, that helmet is basically only good for phys bowzon unless you come up with some unique niche spec that doesn't gain much from the passives.

edit: it "can" work, but going for asterism and another helmet slot is more useful.

edit2: that helmet is also quite difficult to find.
