I have a "reasonable" ancient Krider. Unfortunately it is missing a main stat as I got 9 disc and a socket. since it had +9 damage on it already I chose to roll the disc. up to 12, but realised after that atatck speed is pretty important for the lightning build. I did farm an ok Met Bolts and as per Philos's guide I actually got a strongarms with +20 lighning and force rolled +4% knockback on it, which his build guide suggests is useful, I assume because the lightning hits so often the knockback will proc quite frequently.
Anyway, I gave this build a small trial solo but found I was 2-3 Grifts below my standard fire build and did not overly enjoy the gameplay style either so let it go.
I have however started playing a lot with a Witch Doctor and he has suggested I take a look at putting a lightning build together to see how we go.
I'll post a pic of my Krdier when I get home tonight so you guys can see the exact stats and offer an opinion as to whether it is viable or not, but in the meantime I have a couple of general questions.
Does the krider build scale better in teams? I have noticed with the witch Doctors crowd control I am able just "stand and spam" much more than I can when playing solo, so I suspect this alone favors krider as I'll be able to get a lot more lightning balls out. with my fire build I tend to become pretty resource constrained but that will never happen with Krider as you are spamming a generator.
Attack Speed Buff from Witch Doctor. As my krider has no +speed I found it was really hard getting enough balls on screen playing solo. I'm thinking this might be a less of a handicap with the WD bumping my speed up. However, is the strongarm/knockback the right way to go or should I try to farm Steady Strikers with +attack speed?
I'm really enjoying playing in a team (something I've avoided on the PS4 due to so many hackers) and I'm keen to push for the best build possible as we are competing on unoffical leaderboards (currently 3rd in 2 man team).
ps. The WD I've teamed with is very good and I feel quite lucky to have teamed with him. So I want to step up to the plate and do my side of job to the best fo my ability. A big part of that is understanding the build properly.
We cleared a 58 to get 3rd place in the 2 man legit division and 1st place is currently a 61 clear.

Great advice guys. Really appreciate it.

So this is my krider. Usable? Damage range is average and missing a primary stat. On the + side it is ancient and it has +12 disc.
