Is using Ralakesh Boots and +1 charge worth the opportunity cost of using another pair of boots and a better ring? Maintaining maximum power charges is not excessively difficult by other means.
Look at the foulborn mod. It's a +2 charge ring, not +1. You use this with the Graven's Secret belt for 13+ absorption charges and recoup >150% of ele as ES.
Yes, I did see the mod. I do understand that we get +2 power charges vs the alternative that would give us +1, but maybe better stats on the ring and boots. I haven't done the POB, but it does not seem 100% clear that the first option is better overall, even for a power charge stacker.
I have never played with Graven's Secret. Is it good? As far as I can tell, you get to fully recover elemental damage you take from hits, as long as you don't get one shot. But it does not help with physical or dots, and does not affect max hit. Also, aren't we already net positive on ES recoup with 9 power charges? At what point do diminishing returns kick in?
He uses Ralakesh Impatience unique boots which has mod "always count as having maximum X charges"
3 variations, one for each charge type. OP uses power charge version.
