Nope. Doesn’t work that way. You can snapshot roaring if the first thing you do when you get into pit then cast 1 evade for spark, then evade 3 more times. That won’t work. It only exactly how cem runes would work. But not snapshotting anything

I'm sorry I think I'm read that wrong what exactly are the steps I need to follow when entering the pit? Because you said u can snap shot roaring if the first thing you do in the pit but what is the first thing I have to do?

Anyway, to summarize all up, if you want to snapshot an overpower proc from xan rune, you must have xan ready to activate before the very first cast of lightning spear which i don’t know how yet without screwing up the flameshield and roaring lightspear snapshot.
Even if you somehow manage to snapshot the xan rune, it’s noy very consistent either. Hence why the class has erased the 4 potions snapshot from last season. But if you fancy testing some new tech then i’ll be really interested to see your test and result.

I assume you use teleport to generate crackling for roaring right? So for yourself, enter pit, evade into a pack of minions, get 8 stacks then hard cast lightning spear and wait for a sec for spear to damage then proceed to play as usual.

I use ball lightning to build up stacks ...I do have the crackling energy going off hitting the targets from collecting the energy is that affecting the snap shot?

So why is the xan rune in the builder guide if the op proc doesn't work? I'm sorry I probably sound like a noob

What do you mean it doesn’t proc? It procs and it works exactly the way it should be, evade 4 times to get a guaranteed crit overpowered. I only said you can’t snapshot the xan rune from this set up, never said it doesn’t work.

With the pitiful amount of life a sorc has, qax is the better damage modifier. I am not talking about bugged interactions. You can make it go off every 4 seconds with neo.

usually, the sorc wouldn't need xan to speedrun anything under 2mins. but i assumed guy above was talking about a pushing build. nothing boost your damage more than xan. vex gives you about x1.2, ohm x1.15
xan will the overpower surely does more than that. with this build, i also assume his cdr is cap, attackspeed is cap at 146 in combat with 3 blade active. that means casting 3 BL every second => 2 teleport per sec if he knows what he's doing=> xan procs every 2 secs which is nice.
but obviously dude above is kinda lost lol.
other than that, stay the hell away from xan, it sucks and i hate having raheir to be able to fortify for OP hit
with the qax, neo is nice. ahu also works well with qax. tp has high lucky hit chance. build already running starless, dropping invigorating conduit if no mana issue and go precision magic on skill tree for more lucky hit chance, i'm pretty sure this proc even more often than neo. but that's just my playstyle.
