ED regen is enough to run around in breaches like a fool, thats what i do :D Is that with CI?	Posted by Rhacius#6126 on Dec 11, 2016, 2:42:41 PM Quote this Post
If you use Voidwalkers do you still need the pierce gem?	Posted by Foam_Bananas#3404 on Dec 12, 2016, 7:20:50 AM Quote this Post

Pierce could be replaced with slow projectiles if you used empower as well	Posted by ProjectPT#7616 on Dec 12, 2016, 9:02:29 AM Quote this Post

The guide and layout is a total mess. Last edited by dupie#7991 on Dec 13, 2016, 12:54:00 AM	Posted by dupie#7991 on Dec 13, 2016, 12:53:44 AM Quote this Post
Is there a reason the build doesn't pick up the corruption 'ring' of passives next to the Minion Instability Keystone? 4 points for 25% damage over time and 39% Chaos (65% total) , or 3 points for 25% damage over time and 15% (40) chaos ? Is it not worth loosing, say, 20% max life for 65% more damage, that doubledips with poison? Or prehaps 45% inc skill duration? Or does that somehow work out to be more damage?

I didn't need the 65% increased damage; it would be tooltip for the sake of tooltip (depends on your gear quality gems etc if you need the extra dps boost). At the current level I did not take the duration wheel but it was the next thain I obtained as it does a huge amount for both single target dps and quality of life	Posted by ProjectPT#7616 on Dec 14, 2016, 11:26:18 AM Quote this Post
For the Trickster, what ascendancy points should I take first/what order should I do them in(for the life based build)	Posted by HylianSage#7875 on Dec 14, 2016, 3:52:27 PM Quote this Post
I am literally giving up on this build because the layout of this guide is probably the worst I have ever seen in any game. Still no clue about really basic stuff, e.g. what/how to link beyond the obvious 3 mains. What is a ton of videos worth when there's no structure in your guide? Just make one short 5 minute video like e.g. Lifting and skip the yaddayadda. Thanks.

Eh; I get mixed reviews, sometimes I get this others I get that they find it's the best guide because of the details (written not video). You are going to absorb information a certain way, and others want to know more about the consequences of their choices. Use the one that works for you.
