What I observed is that I have to recast the Auras when I change the area, as the ES/Dmg tip tool is each time lower then before. - Maybe a bug with Influence? I have to test it today after work.

The bug is gone without increased effects of auras/Influence. So right now you have to recast your Auras, as its not carrying over to a new zone/instance.

I don't see why people are dropping purity? The aura I dropped out of the three auras of discipline, purity and hatred is discipline. Purity is still 40% reserved mana cost

And @ above somewhere. Maligaros is 1ex+ for a very good roll. I am not sure about daggers, but a 700 es no link will still require 2 exalt+ minimum.

is there a reason for not taking "mental acuity" passing through the "life and mana" and "life" (sacrificing it) nodes instead of the 2 intelligence nodes? because it gives more mana bonus that way

The mana bonus isn't enough to justify it, and since we're CI, life is useless. Intelligence gives us 2% Energy Shield for every 10 Int node as well as 5 mana per node. So it's 16 mana vs 10 mana and 4% ES.

Amilcar-roguemjB gave u the answer

Bishopz-yeah it is a bug and it very annoying.Generally i ve been running a lot of bugs since release(i couldnt take a reward among others).I never complained about such stuff in the past since it was beta,however now that it is "released" so serious bugs are somewhat unacceptable.

Kabiras-I wasnt intenting to drop purity at first.However,then was a choice between discipline or hatred.SO it was either 7K ES with 50K DPS,or 6K ES with 68K dps.By adjusting my mana and using less DPS gear to cap my resists without purity and in result running hatred and and discipline+using only 2 nods to buff them i ended up with 7.6K ES and 57.5K DPS.This was the most balanced option.However i really miss death rush,so i intend to find an all resist belt in the future-preferably rustic sush,and start again using death rush.

Now a few qutions for u guys.First what was the change towards XP penalty???I haven't noticed anything different on any aereas.Lower level areas did not give any XP,and even a 74 map only game me 1%
Also about reflect.Wasnt supposedly reduced to 15%?THis doesnt seem to be the case,it is as painfull as before and way much more for me now that i dont use permanently death rush.I though that losing 4% life leech,and reducing reflect to by 3% it would be roughly the same,but this doesnt seem to be the case

I experimented some with cast when damage taken:
1. linked with enduring cry and immortal call makes reflects a piece of cake.
2. linked with ice spear+GMP+power charge on crit is a way to have power charges by doing nothing :D

Hey guys, Love the build... Working on that with my new character. Probably a dumb question, but with the buffs to life since 1.0.0 would it be feasible to go life instead of ES? or is ES still the best way to go?

I only bring this up because before the release I was playing a cold crit CI and I would die with ES still up even though I had and I had taken CI already so I am scared to take CI and go energy shield again but I will if that is the best way...

YEAH, XP penalty sux now so much!!


Is someone had test to go only with purity + discipline? out Hatred. I know dump hatred = lose of lot of DPS but it will be very safe to play with no mana problem. Still continue to use death rush and maybe we have to get some DPS boost in the Passive Tree to replace any boost mana passive. Is it viable or not?

would this work with claws?

It works with claws. Difference is lower DPS, but higher survivability due to extra life steal.

i have this one ring to sell for this build if someone is interested.
