BUILD OUT OF COMMISSION....NO LONGER VIABLE DUE TO IDIOTIC CHANGE TO IRON REFLEXES
" I had a looksy and there are a couple problems. The first problem has to do with Life. The path he is proposing delays the aquisition of the health nodes at the top of the tree due to the longer time it takes to get there. The path I chose was much quicker and easier. THe second problem is Inner Force/those ele nodes in templar are the very last thing in the build (especially for hardcore) to get. We are talking 90+ So there is no reason to go up that way during end game. Goal of my build is to rush for health nodes first. My route lands you both clusters of life in 5 levels vs 8-12 if you grab all the other things around. And most people dont reach that high until 80s so leveling is extremely long and hard. You want to make sure you have all the health nodes necessary before the long useless un-rewarding never ending grind. :) If I was in the high 90s I would consider his change, but being only 87 and not having inner force and the templar ele nodes yet, those proposed changes dont affect me and prolly never will as I dont play POE anymore :P |

hi Athena
Thx for your build, it is very viable and I am enjoying it. I got a question and sorry if u have to answer it again, It is too much to go over 44 pages would it be better to use blood magic gems and att with skill, leave mana for more Aura? or just blood magic passive better? |
|
" Definitely not because in order to run the Bm gem you need at least 1 six link and 1 five link. That can be very expensive for the casual player. Also you cannot run Koams heart if you go BM gem. |
|
" I also think it's just a straight DPS loss. You're trading faster attacks for Haste, basically. Which isn't a good trade. Mess with the best, die like the rest.

hey what do you think is the best option before getting blood magic for skill spam:
a) geting 3 x 5 mana on kill nodes near iron reflexes b) running with lvl 1 or 2 clarity ? |
|
" Neither :P Clarity eats to much reserve where it will be even harder to support any skill. I just had 3 mana pots with increased recovery rate and a belt with increased pot recovery rate as well. I never even ate through 1 pot it recovered so fast. You just gotta spam mana pots until you get blood magic and spam life pots when u get BM until you reach around 3k life and marauder tree. Also I wouldnt waste respec points on skills you dont need. There is a bit of shuffling around with skill points already (depending on the type of bow you use) and your gear. I would save those. Its a pain in the ass at the start but just hang in there. I started a new HC duelist archer with no gear nothing in stash and I was able to make the switch to LMP LA at level 30. Getting to 30 is easy and fast :P |

Just wanted to say that this build is solid. I'm level 31 right now and i'm cruising along with little difficulty. The only thing that I have a problem with is mana. I never seem to have enough.

I am 42 atm, already using BM with life gain on hit.
I have to say that it is beautiful. very easy to gain life my skill cost me 40 life, LA+lesser+ Weapon elemental + Life gain on hit . But for 2 mobs and above no problem for Hp, just full. I hate the way to eat mana pots and then Hp pots, so just go BM :) I buff wrath and anger, only cost 180 life, have not buff grace yet because i feel that it not needed atm, i kill mobs in 1-2 hit . My dps at lv 43 is 500sth for the LA and 700 for frenzy. Luckily I found a bow with 2 element at lv 38, that also increase my dps. I got a question : I am planning to go for elemental build, but as I know , bow skill is a projectile, so still it worth to get Iron Grip with elemental build ? as i guess it also increase Dps. There also a problem when I get very low resist on this build as we can not buff purity. Do u just wear resist gear? I using a lot of IR and IQ for farming all the way to lv. |

" you just described my situation i just finished act 2 on normal and got to saarn (lvl 31) i must say im lucky on bows.i changed 3 bows since lvl 1 and used alch on them.ony lvl 2 i got +50 to physical dmg,on lvl 10 got triele bow,and on 28 got just one question,is that unique quiver that converts your dmg to fire good for this build? |
|

In your 100 version for lioneye(didnt test tri ele) but for me this build is pretty bad, i made better version, more hp everything same.
-317% hp -Also you can pick Unwavering stance Btw i have question for you, why u picked Static blows, do you know how shock works with ms/hp? Last edited by misayamix#3228 on May 31, 2013, 8:09:27 AM
