I've been toying with a new build that I've found to be insanely fun and guess what, it doesn't include force armor, blizzard or temporal flux! Rather than being a glass cannon kiting build or a full tank melee build, this one's somewhere in the middle as a wiz that can take a few hits. It's been working pretty damn well in A1 inferno but I'm not geared the way I would like so I wanted to run it by you guys before gearing for it. Here goes:
Electrocute - Forked Lightning
Arcane Orb - Tap the Source
Hydra - Lightning Hydra
Diamond Skin - Crystal Shell
Magic Weapon - Force Weapon
Storm Armor - Scramble
Paralysis
Galvanizing Ward (or Critical Mass if you fancy)
Blur
Jist of the build - 1h + shield, high crit, and rely on scramble + diamond skin + paralysis to kite/survive, fire off AO while kiting. Forked lightning + high crit is crazy with the number of bolts that are triggered and jacks up your chances of paralysis as well as AP on crit. Lightning hydra has its own perks as well such as the long range, instant hit and ability to stop annoying monsters like A1 frogs and A2 wasps dead in their tracks. I have pretty good resists and decent damage but what's missing in my eyes from my gear to maximize this is LoH and some extra movement speed (currently just 12% from boots). Scramble has been amazing when kiting and I just find it to be a lot more fun than slowing the enemy with blizz/temporal flux, so I'd like to get some hammer jammers or something to help with that.
What do you guys think? Worth buying LoH/MS gear for or are there any big holes I'm missing?
edit: oh and one other small perk... reflect damage packs = 100% up time on scramble
