I've started using Vulnerability as a 2nd skill in shield recently, what do you guys think? I don't need enfeeble on regular mobs as they don't harm me anyway, and sometimes having that extra dps to slice through mobs like knife through butter is really enjoyable.
By the way, here's my current set up, I kind of stopped looking for upgrades as I can't see any around on Anarchy...
Gear
Passive

Planning to get that extra block + shield def near duelist area by 90. And then I don't know, probably more damage to reach 9k+ dps on cyclone IGN: ceVil / SadPopeye / AnnihilatorOfTheWicked Last edited by SadPopeye#4054 on Sep 4, 2013, 3:34:35 AM

Not sure if anyone else has done this but since the last aura is no longer used I have replaced it with Tempest shield. I now have a 60% block chance which I have seen to be great!

" Then what gem did you drop to use tempest shield? Decoy or enduring cry? It's choices you make... I prefer to keep my decoy totem. |
|
" You may be surprised but right now I don't use either Enduring Cry or Decoy. My gems are Helmet Cyclone Blood magic life leech conc effect Shield Tempest shield Reduced mana hatred Gloves Enfeeble reduced mana blood magic grace Gloves Purity Determination Reduced Mana Haste I will be taking haste out for enduring cry as soon as I get the chroms to do so. |

You said you replaced the last aura, but im still counting 5 auras in your gems?
Im not so sure tempest shield is a good choice since we are a phys build with no ele dmg. So the tempest shield dmg will be neglectable? Last edited by Affinity#3941 on Sep 6, 2013, 9:10:51 AM

Tempest shield is a great idea actually, I have tried every single aura after dropping haste (since i have some reserved mana left) and in the end I can say that having that 4% block really is nice, compared to the 100 hp you lose (since you can't use reduced mana + blood magic for grace anymore).
Ele dmg doesn't matter because we get tempest shield for the block only. IGN: ceVil / SadPopeye / AnnihilatorOfTheWicked

Since Nastakanoth quit PoE I was hoping someone else could answer my question:
I'm currently level 84 and really enjoying this build. However I am afraid making the step to 71 maps especially like underground sea with for example -player resists or ele weakness.. I get like 40% res with weakness and well I'm pretty much crapping my pants. Is it really that hard or am I overreacting? I can't keep spending chaos to get rid of ele affixes cause im almost broke :/ Also I'm thinking... Why is dropping Haste better than dropping Hatred? :o Last edited by Affinity#3941 on Sep 9, 2013, 6:42:48 AM

Hello, basically, the most time consuming part of this build is to get imba jewellery. If you can't get at least 10% overcapped resistances with purity on, you will have trouble with ele weakness maps. But honestly, with such a high hp pool I have never had problems in ele weakness maps. My advice would be always to use Saffel's Frame shield on magic bosses - it saved my life many times when I was tanking crematorium boss.
Regarding Haste vs Hatred. Hatred adds more dmg, that's why. IGN: ceVil / SadPopeye / AnnihilatorOfTheWicked Last edited by SadPopeye#4054 on Sep 9, 2013, 7:46:38 AM

" haste = very small dps gain for massive reserve cost, its the worst aura ever, and the movement speed means you move out of cyclone range quicker, a very bad thing (generally) Well ele weakness is something you can counter by having ~200 res all (-60 penalty + 90 for flask use + 40-50 from curse) ... you overstack res for it. -max res, on the other hand, is not easily countered. Its different. You can be stacked on res but only purity, EE, flasks and saffells shield help against it. |
