Lightning Strike Raider - Leveling Run

[@zarko364]

what you say about new warden class LS? will that be good?

[@blackapenas5760]

What do you think of LS in the Assassin version? would you do with poison or elemental damage? (I always watch your leveling videos and I think they’re incredible.)

[@Tuadh.]

I personally would only play LS with Champ, Raider or Pathfinder. Assassin became a niche ascendancy. Maybe if Nightblade was stronger I would try a Poison Assassin with Ungil's Harmony.

@@Tuadh. OK thank you, I learn a lot from you

[@norpik6031]

Is it gonna be viable 3.23, i wanted to league start this as well, but I'm not too sure

[@Tuadh.]

It's going to be stuck in Yellow Maps for a while if playing SSF. Damage didn't feel too great when entering maps. I tried to find Vaal Lightning Strike in Vaal Side areas but I never got any. This build needs that vaal skill to have great single target DPS.

@@Tuadh. well, it scales well with investment. Idk how it is early on since last time i played it was 3.17

[@Zettqz]

Hi can you please tell me what unique things can be bought for it that after the end of the acts there would be no problems with progress on the maps?

[@Tuadh.]

LS Raider needs decent gear to work. Progression won't be smooth on league start but I would probably buy a Darkray Vectors. You definitely want to get Vaal Lightning Strike. That will help with single target dps.

[@jeffypwnzu]

In trade league what early uniques do you go for

[@Tuadh.]

If I would play LS Raider I'd probably just buy a Darkray Vectors and spam wrath/hatred/anger essences on a fractured atk speed claw.

[@Yeehim]

How would you go around playing this on a Champion?

[@Tuadh.]

Probably with Omniscience or Leadership's Price. I think the most common route these days is with the Ultimatum shield and Doryani's Prototype.
