1) I KNOW I'm missing something obvious but I keep pouring over the guide and I, for the life of me, can't see how Kinetic Blast gains lightning damage. The gem link doesn't add it. As far as I can see, the herald link doesn't add it to all attack skills. It doesn't appear to be gear dependent. I can't find a node that adds it I don't think. I see how barrage gets it obv but not KB. Anyone care to enlighten me?

EDIT: I think I see it now. ALL KB lightning damage must come from Tempest Blast. Not sure how I missed it other than I'm not there yet on my tree personally. I guess 30% of phys is quite a lot in this case to be scaled, huh?

1. Lightning damage comes from jewelry / Wrath / Tempest's Binding (or gloves if Thunderfist) / Vessel of Vinktar.

So wait, to be clear, are we saying "Tempest Blast" on the Passive Tree is NOT a major form of lightning damage? I guess our phys damage is negligible?

With a Piscator's you're literally getting nothing from that node.

Most rare wands, you'll be looking for +elemental/edps, rather than physical (as nothing else would scale from it).

I'm being pretty squishy, any solutions?
(i would like to post my gear here but i've got no bloody idea how to)

* Start a post.
* Click profile/character (top left).
* Click gear (nothing visibly happens, but a link is added into your post where you left your cursor)
* Close inventory page.
* Click preview to be sure you got all the items you wanted.

TLDR: no life ring, no life belt, no life shield, no life amulet. (why are you even using atziris shield?) lycosidae is so cheap :O

I'm currently lvl 90 in HC harb with this build as ascendant. My gear isn't that great to be honest ,but the clear speed is amazing. in some situations it gets a bit dicey but its usually when I get to comfortable and some mob catches me off guard .
For me personally I use a decoy totem (besides the fact that it does save your life and gives you an opening to actually use barrage) I put it close to the wall and pewpew boss down with KB...melts them like butter.

I find the single target dips to be a bit meh thats why I use the tactic above.

If anyone could maybe check my gear and advise me on what I should improve that would be greatly appreciated


..yeah the vinktar's flask is to expensive atm thats why I use normal life flasks

You should still use the budget flasks, atziri's promise and Wise oak will help single target a ton, as well as switching out your inc. crits for lightning pen in your barrage. that will help against bosses a lot.

Gripped gloves will also help your DPS.

And with piscators you want to stack as much flat lightning as you can on your gear, and I dont see a much/any on your linked gear.

Also if you are on a budget, lycoside helps a lot, it is cheap and you can forget about accuracy on gear.

I need some help.

I die quite a bit.

My profile is public if you'd like to see everything. I think its my armour+evasion.

15% phys reduction and 26% evasion. could be the issue.

If someone could tell me what to do, I would be very happy!

Gear:

Gear is decent, no shock removal is killing you. Vinktars is giving you 50% increased damage taken and you are not able to remove it. Shock removal is mandatory for pathfinder and scion versions.

Outside of that, 3 things:

1. Your one ring is quite bad, opal is really only worth if you can afford a double wed roll (like your other ring), otherwise almost any other base would be better / cheaper (Diamond is actually significantly undervalued for this build, it is extremely strong)

2. Looks like its about time to transition away from piscators and into a rare wand. You have extremely low flat damage on your gear and piscators relies on flat damage. A rare would be much better for you

3. After that, look to transition away from lyco into accuracy on gear
