[0.11.0] Etup's EK Build

Thanks for the guide Etup, I made this as my first character and it's been a lot of fun. I was wondering if someone could help me out with respeccing to use blood magic gems and auras. I'm current lvl 61 with 2 free passive points and my build looks like this currently:

I'm thinking about running purity, vitality, and hatred with grace but I also saw some people using haste as well. Opinions on this would be appreciated as well. I'm in default league if it matters.

Drop the BM keystone, get the two 5% reservation nodes northeast of the BM keystone (by the 30 int notable), and run whichever two 40%s you want, along with Hatred and Grace.

If I had to choose two, I'd say Purity and Determination. Determination + Grace + IR is just mean.

What would you say is a better option of gems on a 5-Link? EK+Iron Will+Faster Proj+Faster Casting+BM or swap Added Fire for one of them and which if so?

awesome build. i using it now. 2.7k hp and 1.5k dps on 57 lvl.
But i havent kaomas yet, and using 5l chest and hi-spell damage wand+shield.
and i took immediately end game build coz i have good stuff base. looks good, due to auras only that i need in staff its a hi armour and hp.

I'm 58 now and will likely make the move to auras + BM gems in a level or two so we'll see how that goes. I'm thinking I will run Haste, Hatred and Determination off of mana and Grace on BM. I'm not running into any survivability issues yet so more DPS is where I'll focus. The one real question I have is whether I should be focusing on crit at all on gear? Or is it better to just get spell damage and faster casting? Any suggestions? FYI - running two wands right now since my defenses seem fine.
gotta love fanboys bashing or worshipping kripp....first off if you pay attention or use common sense you will see no1 uses added lightning nymore. not gonna feed cocky noobs the answers but yeah added lightning is replaced and static blows is also gone....get off exile pro and do the work ur self same with ek. no build is better both etupz and kripp have died and etupz has had to log out macro quite a few times on his "12k hp" ek'er not saying there bad but u cant faceroll this game and the noobs tht qq and copy and paste builds with no thinking will stay default. ENJOY THIS GAME AND DO YOUR OWN BUILDS UR GONNA DIE EITHER WAY MIGHT ASWELL DO THE BUILD YOU ENJOY MORE. I DONT THINK THE DEVS WANTED PLAYERS TO ALL COPY A FEW BUILDS

Thanks for the advice. Would it be worth it to respec to the end game build in the op?
Not sure why if this was already asked but why aren't you using fork or chain?
