Lightning Sunder seems to Suck imo

OK. Last season I ran a Cold Sorc. She got her sunder charm and bang! it really worked. Just got my Lightning sunder on my Trap assassin this season and it BLOWS! Why make one class work easily on mob resistances and another suck Blizz? Do you play the game? Thanks. OH ya and fade shortens beneficial buffs? like exp etc. fix that please

They fixed that interaction between cold mastery and the cold sunder charm.

Get a crescent moon and griffons and bam… more op than blizzard ever will be

ok. thank you. On the hunt

Cold mastery was nerfed with sunders. So they work much worse now.

Meanwhile traps are now really good, though mosaic builds are the fan favorite atm. If mosaic didn’t exist though traps would be very popular right now because they now work with facets.

Cresent Moon PB + Griff + Infinity + Sunder and you’ll destroy everything. There are advanced builds later on that you could use, but that is a good starting point. I think 3/3 or 2/3 with IAS in the right slots with 2OS would be peak, but probably expensive. Now that facets work I think you’d wind up in pretty good shape with claw block + fade.

But stick to the basics for now cuz CM + Griff will be huge damage spikes.

I equipped a CM and dropped a Hoto. To me it seemed as if the -35% did nothing. Not sure why Blizz would give you a sunder charm when you still cant kill the resistant mobs. frustrating.

I’m fairly certain it isn’t bugged.

You should notice quite a bit of an improvement using CM.

Sunder is to break immunity and be universal.

Facets and negative res gear greatly increase your damage output.

Has always been this way, but now it works with traps.

You’re using death sentry too right?

this is a troll post… riiight… …

The “sunder + cresent moon + griffon” setup (without infinity) is a super fun low budget build. The merc can hold an insight so there is no need for mana pots. Doesn’t do as much damage as an infinity setup but it’s quite good up to 3-player games. Without an insight polearm I hate when I don’t have enough “mana after each kill”.

Infinity lightning sorc is on par with full geared javazons and mosaics. Lightning seems to be the way this season. I am appalled with how you could be having issues. Granted, most builds have to have a pally friend or a 2 ber weapon, but you should still be able to use a low cost crescent moon. If anything, cold is in a bad place, it needs a weapon other than doom. Or fire needs a one hander. But, physical damage builds are in a really bad spot. All melee skills and attack rating needs a rework.

All of the sunder charms suck, they do virtually nothing. They nominally remove immunities but leave the resistances of the monsters so high that they are still almost effectively immune regardless.

yes sunder change the res to 95%, time to find other gear and bring it down more. or do you not understand this extremely easy aspect to the game ? you think big damage is important?

once you get sunder, it’s all about the -enemy resist. nothing else matters . at all. skillers ? meh.

This is false Lighting sunder is extremely strong you only need a crescent moon and its viable against lightning immunes. There aren’t any other weapons that are as cheap as moon that give as big minus res as moon does.

I see your “smart” comments on almost every thread. Just so you are aware, no one thinks you’re clever.

I mean he is right though? Like one -5 facet equates to a TON of damage.
