In the queen vid I'm actually using saffels for the extra spell block and the anvil ammy. I was at 78% spellblock but really low dps and no es regen via aegis. I really wanted to get the kill so I took the safe route. I'm at work right now so I can't post exact numbers but with my regular gear I'm sitting at around 1200 es and just under 16k armor.

I'm pretty happy with 5k life so as I get more levels I will be picking up the ar/es nodes. But really, with the stats I have now, nothing short of -max map bosses poses any real threat.

When I get home I'm going to try Atziri without saffels to see if the es on block is better than the extra resists.

Cool! It is amazing to see how this build is stretched to kill that bitch. When I hit 96 on my Maur I'll pop in and say hi to her...hope she plays nice!!

Looking forward to the outcome, Dragon. Been thinking to spec into what you are using. We'll see..

I have a question
Why Your Soul Taker can Let values ​​above 190%
My Soul Taker cap 140%

When Soul Taker was first introduced into the game it was able to roll higher % physical damage. Since then, GGG has determined that it was too powerful and in a subsequent patch, they made it so all new soul takers would drop with lower values.

They have done this with many unique items in the past. The older versions of these items are called Legacy uniques and are usually more powerful.

Hey Dragon, any chance of you updating the passive skill tree to 1.3?

Cheers.

something along the lines of this:

73% block with tempest and a 4% block lazwhar, youll get enough es from gear and the 400% inc es from shield nodes, youll get to 1k+ es easily, armor 250% should be enough, decent life and regen, like 300% IPD, only problem is that you will need high level, so for 92 youd have to sacrifice some life or maybe armor nodes if 250% is too much

Hmm... excellent point about the es. That helps free up a few points for me. But your version leaves me severely undercapped on resists and new gear isn't an option for me. Without investing in 4% less mana reserved I would have to choose between hatred or determination in order to run TS. I don't like that. Thanks for the help Vic, good seeing ya here.


edit: I had also toyed around with adding Conc effect to my 6L before I quit. I have the proper colors and if I remember, it was a pretty significant dps boost. The only drawback was that I have to invest in inc aoe nodes. Any thoughts on this?

Well acutally youd only be missing 8% lightning resist with your current gear

one of these rings would solve that problem if you replace Brabmle Gyre with it, it'd also give you the same or more dps since it has flat phys(and its free cause youre my mate) and if you need int ive probably got a similar one with int too


Im pretty sure you can safely run Hatred+tempest shield+herald of ash withotu any problems, i doubt determination is necesarry with 250% armor on tree

I like to be overcapped for ele weakness. To achieve that you need 60 for merciless, 75 for max, and another 50 for the curse right? 185 total resist?

Or, even easier you can use my aegis tank helmet, i really wont need it on any character, yours would benefit a lot from all of its stats

since you dont acutally need the red mana on Alphas to run Hatred-herald of ash-tempest shield

The helmet will overcap you on all resist for ele weakness map with your current gear


For map ele weak you only need 34% overcap(its level 15 in maps)


As conc effect goes, use it, the reduced area is not that noticeable from my expirience so you wont really need AoE nodes


And if you really need determination if you use alphas you dont acutally need a 4% mana node to run Hatred, tempest shield and Determination(youll get 94% mana reserved with level 20 reduced mana+ 8% red mana from alphas), with alphas you can run all 3, and i can give you some rings to overcap your resist
