I already have a 3L Midnight Bargain is why I asked.


I see. It's a good item, but you'll have to make up for the drop the survivability, or play carefully if you do run EB.

It is? I could've sworn I seen 4-slot Shields...hmmm. Well, I'll trust you as I'm not sure myself.

Thank you!

Definitely 3. Elsewhise 1h+shield would have an objective advantage over 2h.

Would you still use Eldritch Battery with the Midnight Bargain?


Absolutely not. Which is the sole reason why I grabbed the Decree...

The Wand just changes the foundation of the build too much...-30% life is not only a huge risk, but also means no Eldrich Battery, which means less Auras, which means less overall utility & damage...I mean, even though as a Caster, you're going to have a small life pool, but that small life pool axed by 30% is just absurd. ANY AoE can then destroy you...hell, without EB, in Cruel, one of those Leaping Goatmen in the Cliff area can take out almost 1/2 of my ES when they land...imagine if you have no ES and -30% life...insta-gibbed right there on a crit, and those sons-a-bitches jump everywhere, sometimes more than one, so you WILL get hit.

What amazes me is that people are selling their souls for that goddamn Wand and are only screwing themselves over in the long-run, coughing up 23+ GCP for that thing and basically killing their build when the Decree serves the EXACT SAME GODDAMN PURPOSE!! at a fraction of the risk & cost, and you only lose 1 Socket (Sword = 6, Wand = 3 & Shield = 4).

So g'head and sell your soul for the Bargain, and enjoy walking around Cruel or Merciless with all of ~600HP after deduction & EB, champs...


Yes, listen to this man. The wand isn't the great Voodoo magic that owns everything it is not worth all of those currencies. If you insist on 4 spectre grab the queens decree and 6 socket it. ( I will still be using a regular wand + shield) 3 spectres gets the job done. Sure am slower then a person with 4 spectre but i hadn't died in a map yet. - 15% exp is a huge setback.

Might be a stupid question but do you max out all your gems in level (ie auras and curses)? I know some of this will be gear/level dependant.

Played a shadow and was advised to not level curses at all and clarity to lvl 3.

And are you using increased area of effect on curses or is the ranged sufficient at higher levels (if you actually level them)?
I max out on my gems if I can str/int requirements are no problem. WiTh the nodes you will be getting in this build. Dex is taken care of w equips. Like dex ring and ammy. Mana cost is taken care of with eb. The curse area is big enough higher level
