Hey, I've recently heard about not leveling up specific gems incase of stat requirements and mana cost.

Is there anything like that I should look out for?

Or is it generally safe if I level all my blue and green gems?

---------

Also regarding the cruel and merciless dificulties for the bandit quest.

Do I simply help oak and kill the rest? Or do I help all of them?

----------


And lastly, I'm still fairly confused on what other gems to use late game.

Afaik, these are the actives that are used - Flicker Strike, Double Strike, Lightning Strike and Whirling Blades. What about the other spells. Will I need to use viper strike or elemental hit at all or do I just not worry about them? Also what about auras and the likes, which should I take :o? What's a frenzy charge, do I need the frenzy support gem? How do I spam flicker strike, theres a cooldown :x

Thanks again for the great guide, and sorry for the bombardment of newbie questions.

EDIT: What does LMP stand for :p?

I alsow justr found out about keeping gems on lower lvls. you should realy edit that in to the guide asap. since some of those gems are super expensive. Could you pls make a list on what gems should stay at for aprox level? :)

Theres 3 types of charges. frenzy increase your attack speed. Endurence charge incr physical resistance, and Power incr crit chance/damage (i think). then theres spells that work together with those charges. Incase of flicker you can use frenzy charges to use them up and bypass the cooldown (meaning there will be no cooldown on flicker).
theres where when you will finally use Bloodrage which generates frenzy charges, you will be able to spam it :)

Lmp stands for lesser multiple projectiles. And GCP stands for gemcutters prism (if you stumble up on that aswell :)).

alsow i think you change around from all mentiond spells to fit the ocation. im curently runing flicker/wirling blades. duable strike. Warlords curse. and for auras: Wrath, disciplin at the same time + at most times just recently experimenting on having grace active on at the same time aswell.. (used to use viper strike instead of grace, but couldnt fit in theat gem in sockets anymore.. viper is good for mobs like "the general" boss, whom got a heavy energie shield.

im level 53

1) As the guide says this build is very gear dependent. You'll find gear with high ES on Merciless, but they need to be good rolls of course. it's not easy.

2) I'd save up unless you're having a very hard time progressing... you might want to use some of your orbs to trade for better gear instead.
