Nice build.
What you think about taking additional 2 frenzy charge, using ele hit, bloodrage and blood dance boots?

That would be fine minus blood rage. As another said, it only leeches physical. Sure, taking more frenzy charges would increase your single target dps substantially as well as add 5% attack speed to split arrow and all other spells you use. Just don't spend too many passive points to get them. Definitely not more than 2 passives per frenzy charge.

Though if you use elemental hit I would not recommend picking up any additional frenzy charges, nor would I recommend getting it as a bandit reward in merciless. You can get 8% attack speed instead. Elemental Hit was better at one point, it may still be but since it was nerfed I have not tried it. But it's definitely not as strong as it was. It's pretty hard to tell in any case since there is no tooltip dps number associated with EH last I checked.

After testing myself a L17 Frenzy vs L17 Elemental Hit (with only 3 charges) I say Frenzy is Way better. I also try´d Bloodance but im fine with my Windsream Boots.



Thats my combo i already used on most of my Charackters and i say i like it a lot. The additional Enfeeble is just powerfull and triggers frequently (nearly on all Monsters that hit me).

i am right now lvl 70 with this build, but with the scion class.

my dps for single target is nearly 5k and la with chain is 850 or so.

AOe is fun pur! BAM BAM BAM.. but how you fight bosses? Nearly everyboss has elemental resistance and even with curse i feel like doing zero dmg. :/

5k is really low man. Is that with or without frenzy charges?

dps singletarget frenzy:
5k5 without frenzy charges
6k7 with frenzy charges

aoe dps:
La + lmp + chain + bm +loh: 1061
or
SA + faster attacks + chain + bm +loh: 1684

thats my build right now:


and I am running Grace, wrath and anger.

def stats are: 2700life resi: 75/75/68 and 48% chacne to evade and 18% physical dmg reduction.

Thats my gear:


and yesterday i got lucky: found this: : next question: Better sell it and buy much more better gear? Or shoud i use it?

OK. I spent 25 regrets last night to get out of this build. I guess I should have known better when I thought to myself "Man, I'm taking a lot of lane nodes just for Static Blows."

I see what you're trying to do with this build, but it simply does not work. I can't remember whether or not you said in your initial post (I don't feel like backing out and checking myself) if this was a Nemesis viable build. Certainly I wouldn't have tried it if you didn't, but the fact is, this build isn't good for Nemesis. Or good at all, really.

You DO get a decent amount of HP, but you can get that in any build. Resolute Technique with an elemental dmg build doesn't make much sense as you WANT to crit as an ele build. There are way too many points wasted on lanes and not enough specialty nodes taken. If you're on Nemesis, I advise people to pick up Diamond Flesh and the 3 +18% resistance nodes under the Scion tree until you're comfy...or even after.

You're going to HATE single target DPS on this build. There will be times when you can't out DPS the life regen on a rare mob, and if you do you'll go OOM trying to use Ele Hit or Frenzy. Going from Duelist to Templar/Witch is bad. I had to learn the hard way. Yes, the build is different and maybe a little fun but it's not efficient at all. Again, no hard feelings. I'm just peer reviewing after having played this for 60 levels.

Split Arrow is fun and it does clear like a mother coupled with Projectile Weakness and a Freeze Mine with Prolif (I know it's being nerfed, but it'll still be good IMO). Killing rares is difficult trying to single dps them down so you're only hope is to Split Arrow them to death while they're within a large group of white or blue mobs so that you're bread and butter can take over and you get all that life leech.

I'm still alive on Nemesis. I have absolutely no right to be. That I made it this far incredible. I don't know how I've done it. I changed up the build last night and I'm 100% more effective. I'm on Merciless Act 2 of Nemesis and had 1 "Oh shit" moment last night against Weaver as my mouse goofed up.

Just my 2 cents. Happy hunting.

PS: Thanks Skinnay for all the help and pointing and laughing at me making me feel like shit for running this build. You're the wind beneath my wings.

Wow man, fucking congrats on the Kaoms Heart!! Definitely sell it. Once you do you should have no problem affording a full set of decent/good gear. First things you should replace are helmet (why are you using a Goldrim?), bow, ring #1 and chest. It's important to have a 5L, but the stats on that thing are abysmal. You need to get one with more resists and life. Just get more life overall. Once you sell that Kaoms you'll be golden! Do a little research and make sure you get a fair price for it.

Happy new year guys! :D

Thx davos for the answer :)
I wear a goldrim cause I am poor. Not one exalts -.- and I can get max resi with that helmet. :)

Well you will have plenty of exalts after selling your Kaoms!
