1.1UPDATED- ETHEREAL KNIVES CRIT & MAP GUIDE - ES TANK w/ CHAOS INOC- LVLING INFO + PASSIVES + VIDS

^^

Hey would it be viable going towards Zealot's Oath and that HP regen passive left of the Scion Starting area or is Blood Rage + Ghost Reaver for example enough to keep the ES up? Oh wait actually you can't life leech with ghost reaver and blood rage can you?

The leech from blood rage will not help out unfortunately. Will have to use life leech on the link. Zealot's oath can buff ES regenerating if you have items giving regen or say some hp% regen that would apply to ES. I do not personally have much experience with Zealot's Oath though myself. With CI the hp loss a sec with blood rage up wont have any effect on you.

Yeah what I was considering is from the 10 ES nodes in the middle above the scion area, going left and down through the 40% mana regen + 1% life towards zealot's oath and then going for the templar 10% ES and the crit nodes, that way it could work but I'd lose the 30 dex and 30 str nodes on the right side which is rather unfortunate since Strength is a luxury and I can barely level my added fire damage as of now, I think I need to get an astramentis and never unequip it~~

EDIT: Actually after contemplating on it a bit it doesn't seem like such a bad idea since all the nodes on the bottom are STR, there's a dex one I pass by it might not be such a bad idea, of course it's unfortunate I skip around 40 int from the smaller nodes, but i suppose it's worth it when i can manage to get enough str to last me for eternity

Been following your guide with success and am fine tuning my gear right now and was hoping you wouldn't mind posting your current gear as a reference. Thanks.

I'm following the guide with a few differences, I'm wondering about the Zealot's Oath as i said earlier and am going towards the ranger Ballstic Mastery + Charisma so I can run 2 auras, even maybe put in a low level clarity so I can link something else instead of mana leech to my EK. My main concern is survivability if I don't get ZO what will keep me alive in more projectile intense maps for example?

Keeping yourself alive in those maps will honestly be left up to your abilities / how well you can avoid damage. Dropping totem behind ranged enemies then using temporal or enfeeble on them usually does the trick for me. Gives you time to kill the monsters while they are going after your summons. Curses really help a lot and something as simple as just giving them targets to kill can be very helpful.

Liking the build.
