Here is what I will be doing:
1) get perfect aim asap
2) unspec heart of gladiator and iron skin asap
3) go through the amplify nodes to get celestial walker
4) finish it off with life nodes!

If you have a few seconds lmk what you think :)
(gloves I ended up finding it off one of my first uniques heh)

Also get a bit chaos res, otherwise you risk getting bursted down by poison arrow, if you're only at 3k hp.

1 is good
2 if you mean the marauder heart of gladiator i wouldnt remove it, i would go there for the trolls blood, hp regen > all and later endgame take all the hp nodes above it up to the 12%
3) too much points im skiping this
4) yes after perfect aim i would just put all into life nodes forever.. the build is all done :]

No idea why ppl use this build..it wastes a lot of points and get non of the good stuff.
Weak elemental damage, super weak hp, mana based..it's a mess.
Even someone randomly spending sp would do better.

DO BETTER, i'd love to see how much more you can achieve.

Going via iron grip? hp nodes? quite similar end-game. Have a better elemental build? Post it, i'll be willing to respec if its proved to be giving me a greater benefit. Not going RT, but crits instead? Well, that's for scrubcore or uber-geared. Dont shock stack? Well, its one of the most useful passives in the tree. It would be a waste not to get it and run LA (alternatives yes, but LA is OP outright). Nobody said we have mana problems either, blood magic is one of the passives recommended in the build.

i believe what he meant was trying to find out what DPS or what amount of hp he needs. Your suggestions are pure tank, which not everybody can agree playing that style. Some are able to survive with barely 4k, others need more to each their own! Going more dps isnt wrong!

Due to some good feedback in this thread, I've updated the second (and most popular build) with Inner Force at the expense of the starting proj damage nodes. At late game, with your auras close to maxxed, this makes complete sense.

Petrov.

Petrov,

have you ever tried getting elemental equilibrium? Alternate your attack between 5L supported LA and 5L supported Ice Shot? Well i would imagine you need chain on iceshot to have the kind of AE capability as LA.

Why Split Arrow? It isn't an elemental attack so it doesn't benefit from those Weapon Elemental Damage nodes. Am I wrong?

I don't understand the change from projectile damage to inner force. Doesn't the projectile damage affect all damage from your projectiles, including the extra damage auras give you? So a bonus 31% to all your damage is better than a bonus 30% to your auras, right?

I dont know if the -50% Resistance would make up for it but it feels like it would limit you a lot since you wouldnt be able to have any added lighting or cold damage on your gear, or use the wrath gem.
