[2.2] I Cast Magic Missile! - Cantrip's guide to Ethereal Knives / Bladefall. 7K Life, 100K+ DPS!

Hey there !!

Still alive so far !! level 88 - 78%, on my way to break the record on tempest :p.

I'm still farming low level map, since level 74 scare me a bit. I manage to do waste pool and mine obvsly, I don't try the shot to jungle valley / labyrinth or torture chamber, so I can't really go higher level map, I get some try on 75 too, not that difficult, but just lack of easy higher level map.

I'm trying to get good jewels and improve stuff, but I resold part of my jewel to get currency, now i'm fine with currency, but hard to find new good jewels. Same for gear, I'm not able to find better dagger and spirit shield and this piss me off, there is absolutly nothing to buy!

I have a question about mana / mana regen and tree.
I leave a point on the mana reserved to get a new jewel slot faster at level 88 but i down to 85 (or 96 with other dagger). I'd like to leave the 2 other point at next level to get another jewel slot, but i'm not sure I can run it. Here I let you all my stuff and tree, if u can tell me what I should look for, what i can improve.
Should I try some level 74 scary map? or this is realy deadly? :)

Atm :
6303 HP (124 ES)
85/1136 mana
1388 evasion (15%)
239.5 life regen
158.6 mana regen
res : 209/157/138/20
15% to block

With this stuff :


I don't link jewels, they are on the passive tree. Let me know about your general though of my stuff / jewel / tree etc.

Passive tree :



See you :)


Edit : forget 2 little alternative stuff

Edit2 : I just bought a new dagger wrighting for 10c Oo : what should I craft on it? Mana is now 97/1178, but mana regen 144.4, mana open for craft, or spell damage. Wow really impressive all I wanted on a dagger :DD.
Same question as before, is that orth to craft mana and leave that 2 passive point to get another jewel, or maybe craft spell damage, leave the point and put the "alternative jewel", or do you think something else?

I'd suggest Rallying Cry to help out with mana. Also, get a q20 level 5 War Mark, and consider using 2 separate Vaal Grace, since your gear is almost as good as mine.

As for maps, I'd say you're OK to
do anything up to 78 already, just play safe. 74 is actually the worst map level with risk. Just don't do Orchard / Labyrinth / Malformation bosses.

I love this guide. One question as far as the passive tree, can you break it down as to what to take first and so on? I truly appreciate the help.

Thank you :)

Generally speaking, get the Ranger + Shadow stuff first, except Acrobatics and the stuff below it.
After that, get the Templar's area.
Once that's done, if your Life feels adequate (say 3K at least), get Acro, or if Life is too low, grab some of the Scion's Life wheel first.

Frenzy Charges are useless points before you can use Blood Dance (level 45).

Awesome thanks a bunch for the quick reply.

For some reason I always read your name as catnip. Really nice and fun build currently lvl 78 in standard here is some of my gear

As far as gear upgrades my goal should be to snag a +1 tabula first, correct? after that I will likely grab a lvl 3 empower. Damage is 20k with charges up. Leveling was a pleasure and maps are fun and interesting.

The +1 tabula was a nice damage upgrade for me. I'm interested to see what empower does when I get it to level 2. Right now I'm running iron will because I had one at a fairly high level. Very fun build.

@friedchicken279 - Tabula would help, but I think getting a Spell Shield with Spell Damage / Cast Speed would be even more important.
