Implosion build? Stormfist and Implosion procs?

InFernalEntity

Recently I asked about a hybrid build on the forums and sorc seemed to be the suggested class.

Some builds recommended the Stormfist set because of the shock and physical damage (Sorcs get 5% bonus to both).

Sorcs also get a passive called implosion (6% chance to disintegrate enemies for x shock damage when dealing shock damage and 6% chance to pulverise enemies for x physical damage when they are under 15% health)

So I'm wondering do stormfist and implosion proc off DoT?

I think if they do they'd pair well with a 2h axe and Twin Sisters 5pc?

I mean the more often you deal damage you the more chance you have of the Stormfist proc and the more that procs the more chance you have to finish enemies off with implosion?

This is total theory crafting as I haven't tried any of this stuff but assuming they do proc on DoT I'm excited to try it out.
Has anyone tried this?

ANY source of shock and physical damage, direct or DoT, will be able to proc implosion at 15% or lower

Thank you very much
Do you know if there are any better sets than twin sisters for providing shock or physical damage?

One I know you might have some fun with is storm master, out of tempest island! Set as follows:

688 weapon critical
688 weapon critical
129 weapon damage
When you deal critical damage with a fully charged heavy attack, your light attacks do an additional 1399 shockdamage for 20 seconds.

This would allow your light attack weaves to deal BOTH shock and physical damage with dual wield, and dual wield heavy attacks have two individual hits, meaning more chance to proc it!

That looks very good to maximise proc chance. Is there any 3 piece sets/bonuses I could use to boost spell damage/crit too?

For spell damage, nothing beats willpower. That said if you're going hybrid, you might consider running 5 pce storm master on a dual wield bar and running 5 pieve's pelinal's on your body, then stacking weapon damage (as that will transfer to spell damage).

What you'll want to try is to get two sharpened swords (I'm so sorry ) and shock staff of the storm master, if going that route. Even without investment, sorcs can get good critical because of exploitation (dark magic passive). If you get the CP passive, major prophecy, and the thief stone, it is likely you'll hit almost, of not over 50% spell crit (my hybrid templar has 48%)

Pelenials is an option.

I'm thinking:
Stormfist
2 pc Julianos Heavy Chest + Light Belt.
3 pc wrath of the imperium (spell damage + crit)
5 pc storm master

Grants undaunted bonus + evens out Spell Damage and Crit boosts

Then again my crit chances for both weapon and spell damage are only around 22% right now. So I might be better just stacking damage and forgetting crit altogether. Though going for swords removes the axe DoT. It's a tough decision.

Still, thank you very much for your help
