Serious question about using 2x Rumi's.

This is my first time using this flask...it is magical. I can cap my spell block with this and so it makes me wonder...I can save about 11 nodes if I just have two of these things and have them up all the time. What do you guys think of this idea? Even with just one I have little trouble keeping them up and it seems very good if I can use 11 passives elsewhere instead of trying to cap block when a Rumi will do it for me.

Also, the block would not be that low either, around 66 and of course spell block without Rumi will be lower but if you always got rumi's up when going into battle, you get the same amount of spell block! What do you guys think?

I have no doubt that it would work fine, but it still is an extra cost for me. The big turn off for me is that I don't like relying on temporary buffs, even immortal call, unless they are automated, like CWDT or counterattacks. I find it irritating having to try and keep the flasks/buffs up.

So, yes, it would work fine but I prefer not to rely on buffs (just my playstyle).

nah you are right and nothing is wrong with the build so far, easily clearing maps. I just like to optimize and stuff. but why fix something that ain't broke right?

it's just that I wish my cyclone dps was higher, so I was hoping too refund all the block nodes and take dps nodes instead, that would also give me more health. but it feels a bit dangerous and a bit stressful play style since you would have to keep your charges up all the time. but if I did it I could reach 500% increased dps from the tree alone...so that is why I thought about it.

However, so far it's easy enough to kill and i have no problems with how fast I am clearing. for 75 maps, would a 15k cyclone be enough?

Yeah it is definitely fine. Your dps should be fine once you start reaching higher levels because most damage nodes are picked up (in my case) after 75, once the core defences are completed. It only gets better from here, really.

I'd be interested to see your tree that you have in mind... Could you link it?

Of course. Now, keep in mind this is only a 97 point build (around level 82). HOWEVER, it already has 447% increased phys damage from the tree alone and 68% increased attack speed. The best part is 156% increased life already at level 82. Basically, the tree is designed to maximize health and dps at a low a level as possible. It is already effective at a low level and does not need any more nodes. If we go with all the block nodes, we would only reach 156% health near level 90! That is a bit too much for some of us.

It has 9% block from the tree. Enough for a Rumi to easily cap you since we have 32% block from Aegis and 15% from BoR. You need two of course, if you have two, you have 24 seconds of total full cap time. Basically you will always need to keep them up so that your block is at 75% and your spell is 68% or higher (depends on rumi and stone of lazhwar).

If you take the build further in levels...the dps can easily hit over 500% increased phys and 80% increased attack speed. That is pretty insane. And that's just at level 90. Coupled with BoR and if you have a soul taker...then it is gg.

This build is expensive as hell though. two rumi's can cost you a pretty penny.

I will try this build, and get back to you. But for now I am sticking to your build assassin and it is awesome enough so that I don't really want to try something so gimmicky. But then again I always have my Rumi up...so that it makes me really wonder...I always use it all the damn time so it makes me wonder you know. sometimes I feel it's a bit of a shame that im already capped with block so the rumi is only doing half the work for the same result!

edit:
the more i think about it, it seems like im just being lazy and not wanting to level. also, keeping my eyes constantly on the top left of screen is annoying. not too fun.

Hi guys, here is my prospective tree for soul taker. Please take a look.

I didnt take IR due to being able to get full armor gear. Major stats are:
-429% increased phys damage
-64% increased attack speed
-177% increased maximum life
-24% increased block chance (max block with corrupted lazwhar)
-4.8% regen/second
-96% increased armor

Subwooper's Soul Taker build:
-421% increased phys damage
-52% increased attack speed
-144% increased maximum life
-28% increased block chance (max block with corrupted lazwhar)
-4.3% regen/second
-80% increased armor

Basically dropping 4% block for more life and damage. Of course, this is a marauder tree. Love to hear your feedback!

hi guys. wondering how much energy shield you guys have? I have around 600. Do I need more? should i craft it on my equipment or go for phys damage?


wait. so if we get all armor gear, we don't need to get IR? that sounds...fantastic!

600 es is enough. In my opinion, whether you have full armour gear or not, you need IR, simply because of the EV from BoR. I don't know the exact difference it makes, but I think quite big.

going for the health nodes now. got all my dps except for hatchet master. dps is over 15k with atziri (using normal soul taker). best part? no deaths running 72-74 maps. just hit level 76.

Hey assassin, how are you doing with your toon? all is going well? can we see your gear and know what you been up to?

this is my favorite build so far. love it. even more than my TS ranger who was op as fuck but still can die.

question!
Tips on killing Piety Temple and Shock and Horror? How about wearing a Saffel's frame for just them? they only do ele damage to us right?


edit: best part of the build...you can afk at waypoint and not die since we counterattack!!!!!! woo hoo!

im here to answer all your questions!

Cyclone without the increased area of effect will give you more dps! however, increased area of effect makes killing and clearing a lot easier as you don't have to move around as often to chase stragglers! using increased area of effect atm WITH life leech...and still destroying maps up to level 75. would try 76 but i dont have any yet! i just hit lvl 77!

edit:
assassin, i really think you should add another equip for this build. Off hand RathPith Globe! fucking amazing when used in conjuction with rumi's. Cuz then you have max block and max spell block! crikey. you lose the aegis regen but it's only for bosses who spell the shit out of you.

rathpith is cheap too and it can save LIVES. LIVES!

Yeah, I need to add this. Rathpith is OK, but much better in my opinion is Saffel's on weapon swap. It is simply amazing, giving you +5% max res is just incredible as well as capping spell block against Piety, etc.

About my progress... I'm still level 76, sadly, I just haven't had much time to play during these holidays because of family and other stuff. I will get back to it soon, though, and will keep answering questions to the best of my abilities. My gear can be seen in the thread.

oh really? I actually used saffell's first but thought rathpith was better since it allows you to both block spells and normal attacks! This is because there are usually a lot of mobs around the map bosses that you must kill. but then again i guess the mobs aren't that dangerous? let me know what u guys think. Yeah the saffell is AMAZING cuz of the max res. it's just that...all attacks that are normal from the mobs will now hit me. would like others to chime in as well on this.

haha! I passed the OP in his own build! first time that happened ;) Happy New Year!!!!!!!

Edit!!

That shit i said about rathpith! NVM!!! You need 159 INT! No way in hell I'm gonna get that much!
