i feel like this guide doesnt get as much attention that it should.....it seem incredibly well balanced and the survavibility seem pretty good for the amount of dmg it can do.

between if you have some time to spare on your guide,it would be great to put a leveling section (passive tree,gear,skill suggestion before going ST and reave, leveling unik,support gem priority for reave).it would make your guide much more accessible for new player.

between,why did you posted in shadow section when you start from ranger lol?you could provide a tree for shadow also (starting as a shadow seem way better for low lvl since all your dmg are there and +int for dagger but endgame, ranger seem better since the starting area have life+eva)

edit:finaly hit lvl 38 for multistrike,dmg start to rise and clear speed getting better,really tanky so far,still use essence sap for mana atm and i dont have any mana issu with hatred+HOA up,

Hey I finally got my toon to where she could use multi-strike too, but her dps seems a bit low. The way I started was ranger and once I got the Finesse node, went down to the Duelist until I got to Master of the Arena. Then I went back to grab Herbalism. After that I went all the way up to get Flaying. So very tanky and good HP at this level but dps seems to be a bit low. I'm also having mana issues so just got Essence Sap too and it helps but I am still using 2 Elreon (-8 to mana each) rings to help with mana. I am using Tabula so maybe 6L at this level is too much?

personnaly, essence sap was the first thing i aim.since then, my mana isnt an issu at all (im on 4link) so yes,mabey tabula rasa is a bit too much.might be better to wait for a good weapon and when you will have enought dmg,the leech of essence sap will be enought for your 6link (i wouldnt suggest tabula rasa since you lose LOT of survavibility doing that).between,you can watch my profile too see my gear and skill tree im using atm:Sayasan

my dmg was quit bad at first but i had a good sword saved and my dmg was amaizing after that.i used that sword from mid 20 (i think) and im still using it at 50 lol and i still kill everything really fast.i bought an insane dagger last night but im 2 lvl away to use it :)

this is the sword and the dagger

between with the blasfemy talk,i was thinking about how it could be better and i might have found something.

remouving HOA for blasfemy+warlord mark.this would give more leech but also the endurance charge generation.that mean daresso chest could be remplaced by something else. carcass jack would be the best,it give bigger aoe and aoe dammage.evasion and life on it is about the same but you would lose the 6%dodge and onslaught.since carcass jack give more aoe,you could swap inc aoe gem for conc effect for insane dmg boost.your aoe might be a bit smaller but the reduce aoe will be less bad with aoe inc of carcass.the bad side is,daresso cost about 5-15 chaos,carcass jack 2 exalte.imo, you wont lose too much survavibility but gaining lot of dmg doing that if you can pay the price of carcass jack.

other then that,you could also go with blasfemy +vuln (compensate the dmg lost of HOA and dont have to self cast vuln when using viper strike) or blasfemy+assassin mark (higther crit chance,dmg and dont need to use spectral throw anymore for power charge generation wich will end up esier to keep vaal reave up at all time.you will still need spectral throw for boss)

you could go blasfemy+enfeeble for a more tanky build but it will cost you the dmg lost of HOA.this might be the best option for hardcore.

so overall,blasfemy open lot of possibility but in the end,it might be your decision of what you prefer since there not a BEST option that beat every other.its a matter of taste again

When do you equip abyssus over the next? Have you compared nest+defiance setup with a abyssus+coil setup? Thanks.

I have never had a coil so I can't answer that question. Abyssus can be used situationally, an example of when ive swapped to it would be in uber runs for dual vaals. The added dps can be the difference between taking them both out very quickly. Other than that, i wouldn't reccommend using it where youll be taking physical dmg, or at all really for that matter. Rats is Best in slot with this gear setup.

Is power charge better than frenzy charge with this setup? I might try it out. I'm currently doing duel wield and its been pretty sweet, but always looking for new ways to play.

We actually use all three types of charges with this build! You will have anywhere from 3-5 frenzy, 5 power, and 3 endurance charges when you reach the higher levels! Many people go dual wield, Im def not opposed to it, however if you follow the gear of this paricular build, youll have issues capping your res while using this gear setup. This is why we use a shield, we get a ton of possible resists as well as a high amount of life! Hope that helps.

OP, could you please screenshot your offensive stats with Reave? Because it shows many useful things like accuracy, crit chance etc.

Ill take one and update after work when I can.

Crit chance with 5 power charges ends up at or around 93% depending on jewels and my rings. Accy or chance to hit with ice golem is 91%. Hope that helps for now. Will update OP later

im wondering if it could be better to get the frenzy charge from bandit instead of power charge. if you already have 93% crit chance,i feel like frenzy will end up better.losing few % probably wont be even noticable but a frenzy charge give lot more dmg.

the bad side is,on signle boss enconter,you can generate power charge but wont be able to get frenzy charge.....


edit:ho well...i took power

between, what would you suggest for the support gems for a 4 link,5 link?
for a 4 link im using reave,meele phy dmg, multi,faster atk at the moment.would it be better to remplace faster attack for phy to light or inc aoe for a 4 link?5 link mabey reave, meele phy dmg, multi,inc aoe,phy to light?faster atk should be last?

Attack speed is def important for the build, with your current gear in a 5l id try using reave - melee phys - multi - phys to light - inc aoe weapon ele dmg being last in the 6l setup. You can use something else in place of inc aoe but the aoe is so nice to have. All depends on what content your running, if your in the mid levelup process, and how many links you have. Ive never ran with faster attacks in my reave setup personally. Phys to light adds some good dps and also helps with phys reflect. If you can kill fast enough using inc aoe id try to use it, also get a vaal reave if you do not have one, use it often for more aoe and more fun :)
