Are you using astramentis or the tier 4 unique talisman for the screen shot of 13k damage 2000 int?
Also, in earlier versions of the guide you used an extra damage gem over faster casting. Is there a reason now you use faster casting? I understand life leech was removed because of zerker freeing up a gem slot, but why not use controlled destruction AND elemental focus. Does cast speed equate to more damage? I know personally i love the feel of faster cast + echo but am wondering what your decision was based on. Last edited by muddzlinga#1565 on Mar 30, 2016, 6:43:07 PM

" There are three good reasons to use FC instead of Controlled Destruction. 1. Controlled destruction makes you drop from 7.5% to 5% crit, lowering Elemental Overload's uptime. 2. Faster Casting, when you have tons of damage like Baalorlord who has an insane gear, improves clear speed because you basically destroy map packs with a single Icestorm cast. 3. Faster Casting makes you have a faster reaction time to move away from dangerous skills in tough boss fights. |

" The stats screenshots on the main post are with Eyes of the Greatwolf equipped. " Signets are good with 4 or more unqiues equipped, even using the 2% nonlegacy versions. My current char has just shy of 1000 int with no items equipped aside from skilltree jewels, so those rings are providing 80+ int even in the worst case scenario - far better than a rare ring can provide.

Hey, the build sounds really great, i'll probably start one in Perandus today.
Can i use two 2% Perandus signets or is the intell loss too much ? |

So since Beserker has that +25% to cast speed/attack speed if you take a savage hit... If you find a reflect mob do you just kiss your ass goodbye, or what? Or Does your ES outweigh that savage reflect dmg?
