I would advice you to level enfeeble and temp chains to 13, since your cwdt 10 can support it :)
other than that i like your links.

you have no resistances on jewels?
mind sharing your tree? im using 1 item more than you to cap my res and im barely capped and some of the res rolls on your items arent even high. just curious.

i specced into EO today and i think i like it.

i got a total of +59 ACC on my gear and im at 81% hitchance.
so EO and RT both costs us 2 points. we need to spend +4 points for the accuracy (~10% hitchance around my level 83)
so what do we get for those 4 points?

some dex, some int - meh
8% reduced mana cost of skills - meh
10% attack speed - good
3% movement speed - i love movement speed
40% MORE damage
~20% change to miss (WITHOUT ACC ON GEAR)

been running some t9-t10 maps with this and i think it's worth even without acc on gear. some acc would obviously be even better.

EO uptime is not quite 100%, even when nonstop fighting, sometimes it just drops out (which could be a result of having only 81% hitchance). but it's relatively reliable.

Is it needed though? EA has plenty of damage already. I would prefer more movement speed, life, or even a resist node on the tree if that would mean being able to wear a Magic find ring/ammy...

I swap the helm in on maps with eleW just to cap fire so i dont offscreen to reflect otherwise i use Devato's I have quite a bit of acc on jewellery, ideally i want a arm/eva helm, with a dex or acc roll and double resist, life and arm/eva %/# and or rarity, gloves and two stone ring were self found, 4 life nodes left to get and im 8300 hp, lv 95 will give me two more jewels, ive been buying magic jewels for 2-3c each with life and one damage roll and regal + praying for a second damage roll. Using the higher life % rips myself.

I have a good bit more acc on my jewellery than most, about 87% chance to hit, i consider it worth and people don't seem to search that hard for jewellery/gloves/helm with acc, one or two items with the t1 321-400 acc roll will get me up to 90%, EO uptime is 100%

Update on my gear just for the hell of it;




Can't link jewels while they are slotted? :/

Ive got a 7% life 6% mana 11% AoE dmg, 5% life 11% Proj, 7% life 10% proj, 16% fire 5% life some crit chance, 7% life 11% proj some crit chance.

Saving for the 6L quill rain's now, pretty set on getting lv 95 to finish what i want in the build.

Also looking update to 6L quill rain, for high lvl maps need rare good defence helmet and, thats all.

Awesome reply thanks allot.

- Koam's > I didn't knew that it doesn't have a movement penalty, so that is nice to learn :)

- Frenzy charge > I also use blood dance so I get to the max quicker. Also you get 18% more duration for charges.

- Armor is 'only' 48% as there is a 24% EV/AR node.

Having that said I still feel it's a toss up between the two trees. I'm curious if I can manage to get the 'duelist' version working with so many uniques (koam / devo / blood dance / quiver) and still cap resists. Right now I use some jewels\head\belly in chest to get there, but then my rings\amu\belt\boots aren't up to par. Still it will be hard.

Oh thanks, I love theorycrafting around, I spend more time in theorycrafting than playing honestly, haven't played in this account much tbh.

Hum the Ev/Ar node isn't picked in those iterations but if you really want to go with the scion tree that stops by the duelist part you should pick Cloth and Chain , and some of the accuracy nodes near the marauder or the templar , however that tree isn't that flexible , will be hard to take points here and there.

That being said if you are going to use blood dance I feel it is a bit smoother, tell me your feedback later :)

Leveling atm @ lvl 36 but having trouble killing mobs. can anyone suggest some new skill set ups that will help (fire based)? should i be buying gear off poe trade to use or just stick to self found? looking forward to explosive arrow when i switch!

Firestorm should be easy, especially if you specced into templar area first.

how i can make 6 socket quill rain bow? i have 3 sockets and it say it maximum

If it doesn't have the itemlevel, you can force it through Vorici.

That's a nice tip, thanks!

Have one question. If we pick Raider as ascendant, will that 10% chance to gain frenzy charge be enough?Not using blood dance, ofc, but then that 10% is our only source of frenzy charges.

I am quite sure that it will not be . Then again it's one of those 'play and see' .
You will need other option so you can have perma onslaught , one of which is the Frenzy skill , using it sometimes through the map to keep the stacks maxed.

The other option is my personal favourite for mapping: blood rage, even though you have those nasty 4% PHYSICAL degen gaining from it 20% attack speed at all times (lvl 20 20%q blood rage gem) and more reliable frenzy charge generation at the cost of degen.
