looks like you can now view the video in HD...weird.

i had another thought i wanted to share regarding this build:

by nature of the use of claws and some passives on the tree, this build utilizes leech mechanics. leech mechanics have gone through some substantial changes over the last few years or so, but the easiest way to summarize what i want to convey is that leech is vastly more effective when leeching from a crowd of enemies. because of this, melee splash is an excellent overall choice for map clearing and many bosses. i think one of the few reasons i can facetank a double jungle valley boss is that i am leeching from about 50 enemies at once with splash.

i think the only time you would be better off swapping leech for something else would be a legitimately difficult single enemy-type boss, such as atziri.

for single target bosses like temple piety, i usually kill the adds first and then kill her. but her i can facetank, even with splash on.

for the same reason splash helps leech, it will obviously help claws with life on hit or the life on hit gem. something to make everyone aware of.

also, gimme your claws. =D

i am re-reading your original post and want to confirm that you actually can run no regen maps if you're smart about it. i ran a rare torture chamber no regen map the other day. you would just want to take off blood rage and if you were really annoyed at not being able to whirling blades everywhere, you could bring a mana flask.

for gloves you suggest two curses, which won't really work unless you have a unique or passive that let's enemies have multiple curses. i use enfeeble since it is an excellent flat damage reduction across the board for the enemies and is therefore pretty much the best defensive solution for a low level curse. you could also use temporal chains instead of that...it would probably be tied with warlord's mark or poacher's mark for next option.

for weapons, you should note that you aren't just looking for DPS but rather PDPS. if you are using claws with life on hit, then higher attack speed is great. the tree has a bit of attack speed though so in the end the attack speed might not matter too much.

oh, also i stole the atziri's promise from my scion and have that on this character.

DPS is something like 103k-108k with 3 frenzy charges and 3 power charges and level 5, q12 blood rage. When you pop that flask, its 130k-140k. with melee damage on full life it's over 200k i believe.

i would absolutely recommend this flask if you can get your hands on one because not only is it a huge DPS bump but its additional life leech during the flask effect.
