I wasn't kidding about the 7.7 damage per hit. 7.73275 to be precise.
I wouldn't build a zon like this at all, really. But CS is a huge waste.
Guided/Crit/Dodges would be much better.
if your assumption is that your opponent is
always going to have the right absorb, than it would be a waste to build any ele char build.
CS isn't going to win you every duel or even be your main attack
when you can use it to abuse those who don't have stacked resists, or don't have tgods in their stash, or use energy shield, or can't fit tgods in their build anyway- then bam, it servers its purpose
not to mention that virtually everyone you see won't assume you're charged strike and slap on sorb if they see you with fanaticism aura and throwing poison clouds- surprise factor.
points into guided/crit/dodges do like virtually nothing. CS is the difference between having a whole way to kill people or not. CS is why I win pretty much all my duels against bowazons instead of going even with them. It can tear apart the best ES sorcs.
What do you get for wasting those points into passives? An extra +20% overall bow damage maybe? Or +5% effective HP? Pointless
CS is definitely the weakest of the three attacks, but after weeks of using this I can easily say its earned an important place.
Reliable? No. Used in every duel? Heck no. But the best way to spend the rest of your points? Ofc.
Especially considering you're very very very well off to spend 20 points into lightning fury, anyway. I cannot stress the usefulness of LF either.
CS isn't some crazy solve all skill, but theres no better place to drop your last 20 points.
