I love using Ball lightning and I have an ancient Kridershot, but I wouldn't run it this season because there is no crowd control to lock down packs for BL to melt them
Since you're playing HC mode, I would recommend using the Xepherian amulet. Reflect Damage has been updated to reflect the type of damage done to the sender, so RD will be reflecting back lightning damage. Xepherian amulet makes you immune to lightning damage.
Overall, I still would not recommend BL this season on HC mode, the damage is great but it's too slow
VMT8, I have a feeling that your version of the build, with the extra emphasis on Multishot, is going to reign supreme for this build. Yang's Recurve. Ninth Cirri Satchel, a lot of Hungering Arrow and Multishot damage, and Convention of the Elements. That version will probably be able to output the highest overall damage. Seeing as the primary difference between this build and the regular Multishot build is that we lose the Dead Mans Legacy, I think we make up for that damage loss with our Hungering Arrow.
With the (IMO unnecessary) buffs to Yang's Recurve, DH will have enough RCR to not run a generator for MS. The only reason to run would be for activating F/R. I unfortunately don't have time to wait queues for PTR, but your overall Hungering Arrow build is going to be VERY interesting for 2.3
Thanks for the shoutout! I intend to try both styles of builds when 2.3 hits
I like your focus on Area damage, and with the math included for the numbers. I never thought of running Area damage on Rings, so I'll definitely check it out.
Great work, I was running Ice N6 for the longest time, but you have a good variation
How do you deal with Waller? With Rocket storm, the rockets go over the walls to still keep the Focus/Restraint damage, and will have the ROV cooldown. With Icy Trail, you can't get that Strafe to hit, to cooldown ROV
My season started out with TERRIBLE luck. RNGesus was super trolling me, and INSISTING that I play with the Shadow's set. From P0 to P100, I got ZERO pieces of either M6, N6, or UE6
I kept getting Shadow pieces! I ended up getting 4 pairs of Shadow boots, 3 shadow chests, 2 shadow pants, 3 shadow gloves (1 ancient). It was really sad and pathetic and it was very discouraging
Randoms on public games took pity on me and gave me 2 pieces of UE, and 2 pieces of Nat, and 1 piece M6. Keep in mind still about P110, and didn't find any of them myself. Finally at about P110, got Nat Pants myself and UE gloves myself, so I was running RORG with N3 and UE3. Still extremely sad
After getting carried another 110 paragon levels by friends, finally got all pieces of N6, and UE6. I'm sitting at P325 right now, and I still don't have a full set of M6 lol
On a positive note though, RNGesus gave me some "NEVER GIVE UP!" encouragement! At about P275, I got my first Kridershot ever (Season and non season included. I'm at P580 in NS) The Kridershot was ancient! really pleased with that, had good rolls.
Got ancient Met Bolts at about P300, with okay rolls. Got 3 ancient DML quivers, so that's good.
However... trolling still continues from RNG
I got 4 Focuses (1 ancient, all decent rolls) but STILL at P325, NO FREAKING RESTRAINT!!! arghhhh Combined with tons of GR35-40 runs, about 5000 shards only in rings (I know that's a bit low, but basically all my shards went to rings), still no Restraint
So I'm running out of Emeralds to re-roll for Focus (will be farming them with Broken crown) and trying to go for Restraint

Did you give credit to Joking101 who created this build?

I saw that, this should make this build interesting and solid, and Yang's Recurve got buffed as well, so there is a viable spender with MS now

I never realized that this forum was so full of casual players
Then again, I come from an old school fighting game background, so I play competitively

Ok, so which combinations of rings will be BiS with Eun Jang Do? (May reroll to LIGHTNING damage)
Bul Kathos Wedding - will have aura that will freeze at 20% health, so a bit of CC
Wyrdard: Reroll EJD to Lightning, this will have a chance of STUN
Oculus Ring: Can reroll to 16% Increase Attack Speed
Justice Lantern: Rolls 16% block for Freeze of Deflection shield, can also have a Increase Attack Speed roll

Unfortunately F+R are the highest damage rings by far.
VocaloidNyan did testing, and the ring combo that comes closest to F+R damage is Convention of the Elements + legacy SoJ with Discipline roll.

This build is VERY good, I'm running it right now (with a few variations)
I'm using SS - Displacement and Wolf instead of Vengeance
