BUILD OUT OF COMMISSION....NO LONGER VIABLE DUE TO IDIOTIC CHANGE TO IRON REFLEXES
" Onyx Amulett are not longer in the game, atleast new leagues. Please read my posts twice before you answer, you are probably not smart enough to get the meaning of it but hey its still free2play.

I'm a level 36 w/ 600 hp 900 armor 50/50/40 Fr,Cr,Lr. I have been following the guide and I've noticed that my hp is way low for my level. I rushed to a3 to get a tp to the docks and have been training since then. Any tips to get my resistance or hp higher?

Yeah 25 duelist here. nearing the end of act 2. Not sure what i should be focusing on gear wise at this point.

" The new leagues still have Turquoise, Lapis or Agate Amulets, all of which would give enough intelligence to put you over the 151 mark, even with the lowest rolls possible. IGN: EmpathicAmoeba

Okay so, at level 25, im having some severe mana issues. I wonder if i should not have leveled lightning arrow, because it costs so much now to cast.
Is there any way around this early on or am i going to keep chugging mana flasks until i hit blood magic? | |

You keep chugging mana flasks until you hit blood magic.

" I'm currently level 51 with this build, and I'm not even using LA yet. Until I get a 4-link to run LA-LMP-LoH-WED, I will stick to rain of arrows since it uses much less mana and deals better with large packs in my opinion. If you like running LA right now, then yes you will chug mana flasks until you get to blood magic. Even then, make sure you have a decent amount of life before using BM. " Depends on the league I guess. For Onslaught, I only focus on life, resists and armour/evasion. The only offensive items I look for is my weapon since it's the one that will mostly affect my dps. Having max resists and a good life pool is key, more damage is just a bonus. Moreso when you get blood magic, because then more life pool = more auras which in turn increase your defenses and dps. For Standard/Anarchy, you could try to go for more damage/attack speed for the fun factor, but otherwise survivability > everything. Last edited by Kadani on Jul 1, 2013, 1:34:59 PM

Thanks a lot Kadani, I made the swap to flame arrow actually and it made a huge difference.
Then to my luck i managed to find a 4 linked gggr boots which allowed me to link Flame Arrow > minor multiple projectiles > Life on hit > Pierce. Wound up dramatically improving my AoE clearing. Ive found that I am very unlucky with ability gem drops. Ive never seen any elemental damage modifiers, and have only gotten one Aura (hatred). Either way I managed to finish normal difficulty and moved on the cruel. the build feels strong, so i am just waiting on ability gems, and properly socketed/linked items to really take off. | |

Gear so far, no trades, first character (second really, but now I actually understand all the mechanics pretty decently

Been following the build to the letter:

Just in Act 1 cruel, but since picking up BM I am starting to really see how the build will shine. There are a couple path choices that confuse me a bit, and the final long leg to the shock skills.. is it really that game changing? So far ATK speed has made more difference than any other stat, but that could just be low level perspective. Overall, just posting to hopefully help others leveling this build. Until I got blood magic, I had to keep 3 mana flasks rotating constantly to fuel LA even without any linked forks/chain/etc. Just LA + life on hit + fire or cold damage (only recently found my fire dmg gem) Kinda reminds me of a lightning javalin zon from d2. love it. thank you for the build. | |
" I am really glad you like it, the build only gets better with age and gear. :) |
