Torchlight Infinite Thundercloud Gemma Showcase - 1 Billion DPS

[@Jbradd]

Forgot to show hero memories which are +2 fusion energy and any other stat you want - crit rating is good or maybe just fill out resistances. I have 15% ele res from pacts to reach the cap and the rest are drop quantity

[@Rurush7]

Thanks. I saw that Taiwanese guy on stream playing this build and he was probably the first Gemma to hit 100. This build is insane.

[@Jbradd]

Yeah it's nuts :D and he's done a lot of work to provide the build for every level of investment too, he's a saint

Best thundercloud build rn breh

So, looking at your wands.. You have cold damage crafted on there, but wouldn't it be more beneficial to have lightning damage, since that's the base damage type before it's getting converted? So like, you're not converting 100% of cold damage to lightning, only a portion of it. so if you were to craft lightning damage on there instead, it would also be increased in the final damage. I am noob tho, so not 100% sure how it works.

[@Jbradd]

Yes you’re correct, I mentioned it in another reply to someone else’s comment. I just crafted this build early on in the league when those embers were expensive and it was cheap to buy the cold damage base. If you’re looking to min max or just squeeze out every bit of damage possible you should definitely go for lightning damage

[@dimensionequinox8383]

You got maxroll link for this build?

[@johnpham9466]

How come I don't have anough mana to activate flame golem and 2 other buffs used up 97% of the mana sealed yours is only 84%

[@Jbradd]

Do you have all the minus sealed mana from the skill tree? There’s 12% in goddess of knowledge and another 7.5% in warlock

[@xKizu]

Is this build still good for season 3?

[@Jbradd]

I haven’t played this season or kept up with patch notes but I would imagine something about this setup was nerfed or changed. The few thundercloud videos I’ve seen look a lot lower dps than what you could get last season

[@KaedeHot]

Thundercloud does not proc anything from auras for me, if i equip example spark it works...

[@Jbradd]

Hmm that’s strange. If you are talking about the souleating circle and mans boil, since it’s linked to death pact it will only proc on elite mobs (rares and bosses) I’m not sure why else it wouldn’t be working with thundercloud

[@Jbradd]

I know that if you reach over 66% cooldown recovery rate there can be some issues with the build but I’m not sure If it’s related to the problem you’re having

[@KaedeHot]

@@Jbradd I know that, and i build the caharacter right. So i started to think this is some wierd shit because other skills in otherslots could proc it. And it seems i use the defualt keybinds (this is my first character) and i put Thundercloud on right click spot and does not work but if i put on example R its works... wtf is this? :D

[@Jbradd]

@@KaedeHot yeah that’s really weird. Have you tried unequipping every skill and re-equipping them?

[@KaedeHot]

@@Jbradd No i just switched mouse right click keybind with other slot and equiped Thundercloud on there and now i can use right click and working.

[@sr_wolff133]

Use fervor effect

[@Jbradd]

If you want more boss damage you can definitely swap in a pair of crafted fervor gloves, for general mapping though you have more than enough damage so the extra 3 chains from the unique gloves is nice to have for clear

[@arzanpatel]

Does this build have any defences for bosses etc ?

[@Jbradd]

Other than being erosion and ele res capped, and having a bit of regen + life regain there's no real defensive layers to the build. The freeze and skill radius of Thundercloud will carry you through T7/T8 maps and lower level path of the braves but uber bosses like the 2 and 3 invite pirates are reliant on your mechanics and knowledge of the fight

[@kevinsng]

Must the wands be +cold damage? can spell damage or elemental damage work?

[@Jbradd]

Yeah those are fine to take, lightning damage works as well

[@kevinsng]

@@Jbradd Got it! At first I was thinking you took +cold damage because of some special skill mechanism or something. Thanks for the clarification

[@Jbradd]

No special reason, they were just cheap bases to buy at the time because of how expensive the embers were early on. Lightning damage is actually the best option because of the level 80 hero trait that would allow it to double dip with the conversion to cold

[@dimensionequinox8383]

And how much is the total Fe spent for this build

[@Jbradd]

I’ve spent about 1500 FE or so, depends on your luck with crafting ominous mods and mine was pretty bad for the most part. For your other question I don’t think there’s a written guide on maxroll for the build but if you mean a link to a builder I can make one tomorrow

[@craigphillips635]

@@Jbradd could I still copy this build without spending loads of FE and still get decent damage?

[@Jbradd]

@@craigphillips635 Check the channel I linked in the description, he has videos for low and medium investment in english! They should be the ones uploaded 7-8 days ago

[@MrJmeuh]

I'm only lvl 63 but i have mana issues, how do you regen mana each time you cast ?

[@Jbradd]

The major talent node off the beaten track in the warlock tree should fix your issue which will probably take around level 88 to reach, and make sure you have a decently leveled magical source

[@Jbradd]

You could also not run mana boil for the time being in the death pact setup

[@Jbradd]

One last thing you can do before getting off the beaten track is swap out increased critical damage for efficient cast, it reduces mana cost for skills and doesn’t have a mana cost multiplier

[@MrJmeuh]

I took the major talent in the Wizard tree and it solved the problem. Thanks for your answers !

[@Jbradd]

@@MrJmeuh no problem glad to help
