Hello, i am trying to build this character (will post mu gear tomorrow) but i had a doubt, since i will be using taste of hate and rumis, do you thin it would be worth to take the witch flask nodes?

Taste of hate is very powerful in this build with its really high resistances. Rumi's is also just all around great.

However I find it really difficult to cut 3 points from anything to get alchemist. Those 3 points are probably going to be about 40 Int worth of opportunity cost. Thats around about
13.6%ES and 36.4% increased damage your exchanging for 30% increased effect in flasks. I could see some people preferring the flask effectiveness but I would struggle to make that choice :)

Just corrupted these pups in WB




Currently running LL incin, really want to switch but I'm finding it hard buying 2x Perandus knowing i have legacy ones in Standard lol.


You ran uber yet?

I suggested you refund those 5 points and instead take two Int travel nodes to get retribution and the witch starting 16% and 12% damage nodes for a total of
30 Int
10 Strength
42% spell damage
5% cast speed

Yup, that's what I did. Already had Elemental Domination though, so I put it into more ES. Here's my existing tree:

I'm currently lvl 95 and waiting the patch to take more XP. I have pretty much your tree +3 points that i ended up putting in the witch AoE dmg/radius to increase the mediocre clearspeed of the skill.

It was that or devotion near templar for +30 int and 3% aura effectiveness. I'm super broke and alredy spent 250+ regrets on this char anyone tried devotion and can share the results ? :p

@D0ndarion neat gloves, I've been meaning to do that at some point. Too bad about the low Int roll though.

If you only have one curse which takes priority, temp chains or weakness? Just curious

The reason why the stats and level hasn't been updated is that I lent my gear to my friend for a fortnight as he loved the build and wanted to try it so I'm running my windripper while I wait.

@Kagari haha Yeah my collection of regrets is much lower after this character. 250 though? Did you respec another character into this one? Thats a crazy amount!

I'm very meh about devotion. averages out at 10 Int per node and the 3% buff effect isn't as good as the actual aura clusters. I would get the curse nodes first and work on corrupting the gloves into ele weakness or stretch down the Int on the right hand side below ghost reaver to get that jewel socket and shop around for Int, damage and ES jewels. Or if you don't feel like jewel shopping the Path of the Savant for that ES on the way and the value node

EDIT: Or you could go into nimbleness and heart of the oak for that 100% chance to avoid stun. There is really quite a few options :)

Ok thanks!

And yeah the regrets are from previous respecs not all for this one ^^

this is my gear ( althought some in warbands)

and these are the "optional" items i put together based on your guide



My question is, in the case the rings get fixed to work with flasks, what should we do?

I just saw this http://i.imgur.com/WwfyxRc.jpg on reddit and though If it is worth it to travel down there its 8 Points but you will get with a 24 Int Brute force Solution 94 Int dont really know if you could get more with 8 Points on a other side of the tree WaffleT what do you think?

fascinating. It never occurred to me the gems would stack like that. I wonder if that's unintended and will get patched out. Anyway 94 Int for 8 points averages out to 11.75 per node which is below what you want to make it worth traveling. Those useless 8% armour nodes really drag it down.

for example going down the shadow side of Int and then getting that Jewel socket would average out at 11.75 per node using 3 travel nodes and then a jewel with only 17 Int on it. Plus that jewel could have spell damage and other things rolled on it as well.

However it may be worth taking the two 6% damage nodes in scion to get that jewel and double dip on two of the dexterity nodes that it would overlap with the other jewel. Thats 3 nodes for 12% spell damage and 44 Int so its only just better though. Might still be beaten by the shadow jewel socket as it could be well rolled


@Radgris

neat gear man. I really don't think they would fix the flask not working with the rings as that comment was made pre whispering ice design. If they somehow did I would change all my flasks except a fire resistance removes bleed one into uniques and run lightning warp for movement.

Sorry if I missed it, but when's the uber kill coming? Baalorlord did it with his CI version which has more ES but less dmg. I think you can do it with yours too.
