but still having problems with INT and dex
dex wont be a problem any more if i hit 52



i really want to replace this, how much is a 5l QR in HC?

in standard you can get it for 1 exa i think,hc is probably cheaper
Just wondering, how is everyone's damage with EA. I see people don't take fire damage nodes most of the time. My damage is ok for killing mobs in maps up to 72 but I bet it will lack later on. I also tried lvl 2 empower and it wasn't that great really, went back to Fire Penetration. Also the projectile damage nodes, is it me or they seem to do more that fire only nodes even if they have the same value? Mad
I AM MAD
ZAP!ZAP!ZAP! ME SOOO WIZZARD!
I've read before, I can't remember if it was Pastromy or what in thread, that proj damage=fire damage. In that case I have the 3 proj damage nodes in the duelist. You can see my tree a few pages of posts back in this thread. I have never struggled with dps. Pretty much the only time it get s a little funky is in a group with someone running anger. I just stay out of their aura and are totally fine at the front tanking and stacking. Using EE especially solo is the largest damage increase you will ever see and I was amazed when I picked up the node. Also if your running ee, you don't have fire damage (x-y) on gear do you? If so that would void your ee kicking in after stacking and split arrowing mobs.

They are equivalent, yes. Indeed, you want to make sure you don't have any x-y fire damage on gear...
so judging by Chris's comments i think this build could actually get stronger with aura buff/nerfs.

If as they say the notable after the BM keystone reduces the reservations by enough from 60% to be viable on life then for this build which tbh isnt that reliant on aura's could get much safer.

being able to run any of the old 40% auras with BM will be awesome, vitality with the amount of life will be massive. or determination may mean you wont need to trek to IR to get some defenses.

We lose EE though, which is a pretty big hit. What other auras would we want to run? Grace, Determination and Purity?

Edit: I wanted to post my gear for one last time before release. I got a few sick new pieces.
Spoiler

9.2k life, 77 all res, 23 chaos res, 6k armour, 50% MS. Devoto's Devotion is amazing.

I also play LLD PvP in SC, and race as Witch or occasionally Scion.

It sounds like EE might have actually gotten moved back to the templar area (after the skilltree was posted last night). Or at least, that's the rumor going around. It looks like Conduit might have taken its place in the middle of the tree.
Pretty happy overall with the skill tree changes, ended up with a bunch more life. The 60% aura is a bitch, really don't think its worth it anymore to run grace / IR.

Much testing to be had.
Thought about playing this build as a Scion. Didnt really see any difference in my endgame build yet.
