hi, i'm a pretty new player that has been so far, been following your blood magic keystone build, but I don't really know differences between the builds and the advantages/disadvantages of each build, namely the bm keystone and ci crit build. The only thing I could really gather was that they rely on different resources to sustain, but I don't really understand statistical differences. So which of your builds would you say provides the most damage, durability, and so on? I'm having a pretty tough time deciphering the merits of each build.

The blood magic keystone build is the most common and easiest to pull off (gear, and experience wise, if you area beginner) but each has it own different play styles and advantages/disadvantages.


Blood magic keystone is probably the strongest in the early-mid game. Due to its flexibility in gear selection and not requiring much to get started or even to do maps.

The blood magic gem build is pretty much the end-game version of the BM keystone build. Once you have capped all your gear and reached level 90+, you will benefit from running DPS % auras over just using your 6th linked gem as faster attacks. It's basically trading faster attacks for Hatred, Haste, and Determination, which is not only a boost in DPS, but also survivability.

The CI build is for more advanced users of LA. It not only is difficult to start up but also to maintain due to it running off mana instead of life for skills. It has a different playstyle, where it relies on hitting harder but slower to manage mana better but shock stacks at the same rate, due to it having chance to crit which will apply shocks as well (normally, the BM builds rely on attacking really fast and only have a 20% chance to shock.)


So, my suggestion if you are a new player - going with the BM keystone build. If you are feeling like a little adventure, go with the CI route, just be prepared to farm docks/catacombs into your mid to late 70's for gear/drops.


Which build is the best, over all in survivability, DPS, and end-game roles? - I would have to vote CI. It's EHP can't be matched by life based builds and since you can life leech at an instant rate, combined with having a large passive life leech using blood rage, it survives really well and can do some serious damage with the right gear and level.

Even though that Lightning Arrow converts physical to lightning, It will still be a bow to rival Lioneye's - mainly for the extra 10% shock chance and being immuned to reflect.
