How much different is the non Mjolnir Guide and what are the pros/cons. I just scrapped my main char and am thinking of trying this out. Got a good 80ex to spend :D

After the nerf to shaper's touch, you cannot justify to invest so much in strength, so I decided not to use Mjolner.
With a rare sceptre, you can have more dps because it has much more aps and base crit chance. I don't even need increased crit support in the main link so I can use a damage support instead. My DPS used to be 6-8M with Mjolner, and now I'm aiming at 20M. If you decide to go LL, you'll have more than 30M I guess. Gearing is easier because you don't have to get strength from all pieces of your gear. The new unique gloves are also nice, you deal 30-35% more damage if you drop a vortex. You'll lose accuracy rating by dropping shaper's touch, but you can use the "hits can't be evaded" on your weapon instead.

The cons are:
1) Less ball lightning procs, which means less ES on hit. This can be kind of solved if you get 52% cooldown recovery speed and 10 aps, assuming that hitting 10 aps with Mjolner is not realistic.
2) Crafting a good sceptre is difficult and can cost a lot. I bought all the Karui sceptres with T1 AS + T1 crit and failed annuling the unnecessary suffix. No wonder there are no such items on the market now... But you don't need a good AS roll until you get 52% cooldown recovery speed. My sceptre has a bad AS roll but it is actually perfect for now.
If you don't need fortify (from the cluster jewel mod overlord), you can use a claw or a dagger, which are easier to craft.

With 80ex your character will be stronger than mine.

How does the Sceptre variant compare to CI Ice Nova with Cospri's Malice?

Wouldent you want to use an Awakend Cast on critical strike?

Wow the price of Deafening Essence of Loathing skylocketed. Is this because I recommended this essence for the sceptre crafting? LOL. When I recommended this essence it cost only 5c.
