Sorry for the noob question, but is 50% increased flask life recovery really worth 4 passive points? I've never played a build that has invested in this, so I'm not sure of the potential benefits of it that may not be obvious at first glance. Is getting healed for (say) 3000 instead of 2000 really impactful enough?

If you go for the second duration cluster you might as well take those life nodes. In my opinion it's not worth it. I originally planned to take both duration clusters and use Efficacy Support in place of Spell Echo to maximise Vaal Blade Vortex uptime, but it moves way too slowly to be helpful for trash clearing. I pretty much only use it for bosses now, picked up Spell Echo again and adapted the tree to get some chaos resist for the temple. You can see the tree on my characters page. I found that Spell Echo makes my clear more consistent than any other option, especially when I was using a Tabula. In a 5-link (Inpulsa) the single target is a little low right now, but then again I'm using Brightbeak until I can afford a Shaper weapon.

Sorry, little bit of a convoluted response ;-)

Any recommended unique weapons and shields to use lvl74?

This build is amazing! Really loving it.
Been farming red maps for awhile, while trying to get some nice temples.
But need help to get some upgrades, and where and what to focus on atm.

Is Berek's Grip better or worse than using the Warlord's Mark options (Currently using CWDT and CoH+HoT setups)? I just got one from the temple and I'm figuring out if I should use it or keep it.

I think you're misunderstanding. Warlords mark is FAR better. Berek's Grip is simply a option for use on Hexproof maps.

Trying to free up some resistances to be able to use Kaom's Roots (got a really nice one with 5% max hp corruption). Meanwhile, also got this:



Now just gotta save for the Warlord's Mark ring to free up all the boot sockets (and then finally 6-link the Inpulsa).

Hey,

First off, thank you for your build, trying it out right now and having a lot of fun.

I just have a quick question on the leveling tree. Im by no mean a good thoerycrafter so maybe it has been talked before.

When you go the left side of the witch area, wouldn't it be better to start from the life&mana nodes instead of the spell crit ones? It costs one less point, and you get 10 dext on he way (which is not negligable considering how Im starving right now :D), 20 ES and 20 mana.

You would still have to use one point to go the life & mana nodes on right side at some point, so the 1 less point is nulify but that's a (very) minor gain, no?

Anyway sorry again if this has been asked before :)

Cheers !

First off, nice build.

Two things:

- Looking at your profile, are you changing the gems, or it's just a setup you like?

- Are you considering adding a mapper version? Like a new tree with less hp or flask duration, things like that, and more damage and speed/cast speed? Personally I'm using this type of builds just to farm shaped t10 over and over again to farm currency, not for bossing.

- Is the 5% non chaos as extra chaos damage better than 20-30% extra damage as lightning/cold/fire damage?

- What's your choice for 6L on BV for mapping? I'm using Inc. crit Damage but maybe Efficacy is better?

How important are the various stats on the Inpulsa chest.

Trying to decide on how much to spend and wondering if I should just aim for 10% explosions or 50% increased damage after shocking.

Just crafted this. 17c for the base + 150 Alterations. Pretty mediocre, but it will have to do for now. Unlucky on the life craft as always :D
