I've made the CI build tonight, but I already see that there not very much to zero resistance in the build, do I need to have all of it from gear?

You can pick up resist nodes as you level and drop them in the later game as you over cap.

Could you please explain why are you going to iron grip? And then making all the way down to blood magic istead of going straigth from golems blood to blood magic? Thanks.

Is there a quicker tree or perhaps a more balanced one with more DPS? Going to Iron grip seems to make it a lot slower to static blows. Just throwing it out there.

Let me know what you guys think!

Also Edzill if you could post your gear for a reference that would help us all out I'm sure.

Thanks again for your help

Going threw the middle is the best life based route. Unless you just want a scrubcore build. If so I'll post one later, after work.

As for posting my gear I've sold most of it due to all my LA characters dying (lvl 80, 78 and 67.) And I don't play scrubcore.

Can you post a scrubcore build just for my sake and the other scrubcore-ers?

I'm liking your life based build as well I still deal good damage but just curious.

Thanks.

I was talking about a LA Duelist CI in Global Chat, basically everyone told me to not do it, especially because i don't have a 70 exa big stash. So is this CI build viable at all with out GG gear? Aswell there is basically NO survivability apart from the ES. Can you convince me that it IS viable, because I would really like to have a LA CI build

It doesn't cost 70 ex, that guy is an idiot. it takes a lot of crafting, and not buying items (CI is really hot right now, so ES gear is pricey.) You just need about 30-50 chaos to roll a 600-800 ES chest, and get ES on the rest of your gear. It does take time, but it is doable.

The build I posted, had 80% increased evasion rating, combine that with grace + a couple of hybird ES/armor or evasion items and you will have a decent amount of overall armor. Not the best, but hey, you are a ranged class no? With a crit-CI build stuff should be dying, really fast. Just shoot off screen and let stuff melt. Run molten shell/enduring cry if you feel you need more survivability.

Like I said previously, it is doable and you don't need 70+ exalted to do it. You may have to farm docks/lunaris/cata into your late 70s.. but it is doable completely.

I added 2 life based ones to the OP. Scrubcore CI you wouldn't really change much - maybe drop some ES in the middle for more crit.

Looks like you were right :P doesn't look worth it to lose all that HP for not many DPS nodes.

any chance you could expand on the gear a little bit? helm, boots, gloves, etc. ? thanks.

For life it's standard, double/tri resists on boots/gloves. Make sure boots have movement speed, and if you can afford it, get IAS on gloves along with the resists and life. You want alpha's howl in the life based build for head slot.

For ci, you want ES%/inncreased ES or both, plus resists on pure ES armor. Tho you do want 1-2 pieces to have evasion or armor on them for a little mitigation. It's personal preference on how much ES to armor/evasion ratio you want, but, your chest and helm need to be 100% ES, with both Increased Es and % ES for maximum total ES.

Whats your opinion on Lightning Penetration gem (with LA)?
