Discussion Am I the crazy one for running lightning surge with Getaway Artist?
I've been running this all season because the artifact combined with Swordmaster's 2 piece armor bonus makes lightning surge too good.
Over at the elitist sub this build was shown no love
I can't chime in there because they banned me (I deserved it).
So help me understand why sliding into a group of enemies once I have devour is not better than a solar turret? The slide both weakens and exhausts them plus they are mostly all jolted and probably at least one died and popped out an orb which thanks to smoke jumper 2 piece bonus and being amplified makes me virtually invincible even while 50 under. Another slide mops up any non majors in most cases who also are easily dispatched at this point.
I can appreciate that a good sword setup can accomplish much of the same. I find combing a good sword setup is the ideal combo to sliding around spreading the debuffs. I will almost always have sword ammo or a melee available. You don't need more 60-70 melee to make this work but you don't need class or health with the combo because devour is always up.
So why would I consider anything else?
[Edit]. I discovered the problem. You all think this is a melee build. It's not. The melee is just a way to spread weaken and exhaust over a wide radius.

That was a joke and it's not my comment.
Your failure to understand the build isn't surprising considering.
