I'm using this build @31 and I seem to be having a mana issue. Am I missing something that people are using for mana regen or gain? My dps is fine for the 2-3 shots off I get, then its auto attack.

Any thoughts?


You will have mana problems to some extent until you get Blood Magic. A solution is to get Blood Magic gem until you get the Passive (I did this), otherwise make sure to stock up on mana pots!

@Montanx
Yea, probably :) However I do believe I've given reasonable thought in all points spend and it works for average geared people who tried it so far aswell.

Good to see a non LA character doing well (though that is the most ridiculous set of gear I have ever seen).

I notice that a lot of the time you don't have frenzy stacks up. Is the bloodrage degen really that bad even though you would have a ton of life leech?
Why do you use gems for criticals if you use Resolute technique?
@PKiller
I've only played this character/build on Default.

The crit gems shouldn't be used with RT, perhaps I should edit my original post about that.

@aimlessgun
Thanks :) I tried BR in the beginning but I felt it left me with very low hp sometimes because of the long up time after a pack was killed. With a little practice/getting more used to it, it might prove very viable though.

Another thing I've been doing lately was keeping Frenzy stacks up by just killing a target with Frenzy once every 13s

For a lvl 80 with 6L LG + 6L chest, i'm surprised to see how much difficulties you have to do lvl 70 maps.

As I wrote, it's the first time ever I did a 70 map, furthermore I tried to rush through it as fast as possible (I had no idea how big the map was + I wanted to make it within the song length - didn't have another 70 map to practice on before recording) :) So it was basically a virgin rush through unknown content.

//edit could've been a LOT easier if I had taken like 30 seconds more total by placing a totem 2 times, or shooting some arrows before I engaged close combat.. But I wanted to rush it cause, as I said, I didn't have another 70 ma and I had promised to get a recording of a higher lvl map :)

Oh, forgot to mention I also ran 12xx x xxx resolution opposed to my usual 1920 x 1080 which fucked up my cursor a few times.. but hey, I'm quite satisfied considering above facts!

To keep it build related though, what changes do you suggest to make maps easier?

Forget iron grip (or do you have astramentis ?) and take deadly draw and fletcher master. Imo you would get a better dps with those passives.

@KingPingPenguin

It will give me more damage, but I would lose out around 60% more life + hp from strength nodes for a minor dps increase, so I don't think it's optimal.
