1.2 - Budget Life Physical Wander

Updated skill trees and added changelog section
IGN: Dmillz
Destroying 69 maps ^-^.

What are the most important stats for a wand? I managed to obtain this wand, but not sure if I should craft critical strike chance or attack speed. Attack Speed seems really good especially on this wand because of it being the highest aps base, but is base crit chance more important due to the multiplicative effects it has?

IGN: Flickerdart
I would definitely craft Crit Chance. A max roll master crafted attack speed will bump you to 1.78 APS and ~180 pDPS to ~214pDPS. But crafting crit will bump you from 8% to ~10% crit, 2% more base crit will give you a TON more crit chance.

Been waiting awhile for someone to do this!

I know this is just theorycraft so far but why in your opinion did you opt out of Inner Force, Influence and Leadership? I suppose Inner Force is a 10 point stretch but Influence is only 5 away and the points leading into Leadership is only 3. I really don't mean to seem too critical of your build, I just have very little experience planning a tree myself. I feel with the amount of auras this build utilizes some of those clusters would be important.

Also another point I figured would be pretty useful that we are right next to is Trickery in the Shadow tree above Blood Siphon, not sure if the Intelligence would be useful but the crit and elemental damage might be?

Thanks overall for the build though! :) I'm currently leveling a character up to follow it.

Don't feel bad, be critical! As long as you have reasoning behind your criticism I really welcome it. I'm not perfect and there might be some good improvements to make!

We are really only using 3 auras tops, and the Herald Aura's are not particularly powerful. It might still be worth it but right now I don't feel like it is worth dropping anything to pick them up. Much better to spend points scaling up crit chance IMO.

UPDATE: Elemental Damage nodes should scale it. This makes Trickery pretty damn good. Updating tree!

Whoops double post!

I'll use this space to mention I updated my Current Progress. I plan to start leveling more diligently now that I have a bit of currency saved up.

What do you think about this route?
I actually quite like that now that we aren't taking Profane Chemistry. It's better IMO, will update!

I'm currently 83 with the build and its been a blast. Went up to 71 maps with a ~160 DPS wand then ended up picking up the one I'm using now for 12 Chaos. Other than that and the Atziri flask its been entirely self-found. The build hasn't had any issues up to 73 maps and it farms Piety/Dominus in 4 minutes or less. I haven't gotten very lucky with maps and have been stuck at 73 for a day, But I don't expect any problems going up to 77/78.

I also leveled as a Wander quite easily. PS-LMP-Pierce for AoE and Barrage-FA-WED/Phys Proj-Crit Damage for single target. I swapped to Chain at around 45 when I could sustain the mana cost.
