The Stormcaller

I dont get me wrong. I read carefully the workshop then tested the lightning tree to verify what is said in the section. What I said above was to agree that stormcaller is the only playable style for this tree

Hi!

Considering the changes to The Creep is it still worth getting due to the morph or should I start looking for something else?

Not suchbalance but have played this pretty extensively over the last few patches. The creep is probably still worth getting. A big downside is that spirit of vengeance is no longer able to be targeted so you lose some of the "cheese factor" in some of the end game settings. Make sure if you haven't played this before that you have good jewels ready to transfer over to that mid/end spec with creep or you'll find yourself hitting a survivability wall.

I've always thought it's kinda been into the very very end game end of the tree. It's very possible to do ~80% Of the ubers with out it. I'm currently playing it in the mid-end game with paragon still and putting some points (~20) into fire elementals who are much tankier than before. Of course with cheaper gear your kill speed and such will be slower. But I'm not having too many problems with just decent jewels in Helm/Gloves. Currently at 1-4k dmg storm call with 95% pierce (you don't need 200 anymore since heroic shields are gone) and can farm the normal areas (TA, Dunc although a bit slowly).

Been meaning to ask SB about the same thing so hopefully he pops into here or possibly updates the guide but i'm sure he's tired from modding and deserves a good break <3.

pop, plz SB give us a hint

The creep is definitely not worth it for this build anymore:
- You get 5fpa cast animation with it, compared to 6 with 1h + shield amazon, but for that you lose 12 sockets + it has no pierce + you need an extra 40 fcr
- Amazon class items can now be crafted with lightning spell damage & pierce, which means crafted shield + sceptre got buffed, not to mention rare & crafts are buffed themselves due to the improved rare affix pool + shrines granting all bonuses
- Crafted zon shield can spawn with thunderstone which is better than hailstorm for your single target option since you can leverage your lightning pierce
- Asterism now gives more bonus defence than before so getting a high def shield is a big deal
- Paragon got buffed & SoV is no longer a cheese machine: potentially Paragon becomes the best uber skill option overall, also has great synergy with shield + sceptre

All in all this build should be stronger than pre 2017 in terms of damage output and survivability.

Glad theres some interest in this guide since im playing stormzon now in single player.
Didnt saw it in the guide or im missed it, but for your weapon a good and cheap option is Durga runeword= "LAI" rune in scepters.
Up to 4 ama skill, 40% fcr, 13% ele bonus to bloodlust os its like 13% spell damage, up to 100 life after kill is soooo good. Its great, running it right now.
Can do it in war scepter with 5X crafted jewels %spell damage to make it better.
Crafting some ama shield like suchbalance mention. Can create some monster

Would be great if u do season 2017 stormcaller guild - similar to the original guide
