anyone care to tell me how much life/armor/dps/life on hit and or life leech is about right to safely get through normal difficulty without dying using this build?

If you're in normal - unless you have a 4/5 link and a good chunk of mana regen items you, shouldn't be using LA. Use a melee build, split arrow, or rain of arrows.

But for the "right amount," there really isn't any - best advice I can give you is to equip every piece of gear you find that has life and/or resists on it. In normal and cruel, prioritize life over resists. Try to save your money up to buy a Goldrim cap when you get into merciless or find yourself struggling in cruel.

Hope that helps :)

Definitely does help thanks. I am actually cruising now with LA. Used it in norm. Got a good 5 link bow for fairly cheap (3 chaos for 32-83 phys dmg 5-55 lightning dmg, 4 life on hitt, 12% increased ele dmg, 21% crit chance, and 10% crit multiplier). Was a steal at 3 chaos lol. Anyway, for anyone else reading this. I went a tad different route with the build and went straight to Iron Grip after Berserking and getting most the life nodes in the Path of the Warrior area. Then I went over to Blood Drinker.

I used split arrow with fork or chain and frenzy. Mana was OK so long as you had good flasks, but LA is viable into cruel with no problems as long as you have a couple 4 links. I was using LA w/ BM, LoH, and LMP. Then I had frenzy w/ mana leech, reduced mana, and faster projectiles.

Anyway, as long as you have +life gear and lvl BM, reduced mana, and life on hit gems... its easy breezy and safe (im playing nemesis w/ this build btw).

I'm sure later cruel and merciless will be a diff story as far as the cost of this build, but to get through nemesis normal it was relatively cheap. All I did was farm docks (as lower level then library as slightly higher level on normal with a peregrine helm and a max MF amulet until I got enough chaos to gear a tad (not much mind you, but I got very lucky finding someone to sell that previously mentioned bow for that cheap).

Anyway, hope this post helps someone thinking about it. Very fun to play.

I wanted to ask u guys a question. What should i aim for in my gear to increase DPS significantly. I know my gear is shit lol, sold all the good parts in order to get the Voltaxic Rift :D Also trying to 5 link the a-hole.



ignore the somewhat bizarre gem combos lol, just lvling them.
Currently lv 68 using the life Voltaxic Rift build. dps unbuffed on LA only 1337,1 O_o .. feels so weak..

Your gear is fine, what are you links? If you do not have a 5L at that level, you dps is going to be really low.

yeah i have a 4L currently.. cant seem to get the voltaxic to a 5L.. :P using LA+BM+LMP+LoH, if i get a 5L then i need to add wep ele dam gem?

Thank you Risko :)

I'd love to put my noob gear here but I actually did not find the way to do that... If there's someone who could give me the hint so I could edit this thread properly ;)

scroll up , u'll see your char name , click on that and u'll be given ur inventory, just a single left click will link the item .

I was just wondering how well those three 5+ mana gain on kill nodes down from IR would work for leveling with LA? (respeccing later of course)

Would they just become useless too quick? 15+ mana a kill with LA seems like it would be able to sustain LA pretty well no?

With no chain or WED your dps is going to be completely garbage. I would suggest either taking the BM keystone and dropping blood magic gem for WED/chain, or getting a 5Link, or both :P

Mana on kill passives/abilities are generally complete crap - unless you are really low level (5-15) try to avoid the passives - they are a waste of points.

i want to find better build.
