Rathik, I'm just curious what you think of the new phys. to lightning gem?

I am wondering if it is worth leveling and linking with zombies on the off chance that they may have a better chance to shock all on their own with it.
I currently am trying it out, but I am at such a low level that nothing really shines just yet.

Thank you for your quick answer. I'm level 13 now. And confused. I'm leveling with EK and I'm pretty sure I'm doing it wrong. I summon zombies and then use EK. I deal almost no damage and have to kite quite often. Almost died a few times against the Warden. Am I meant to use a generic levelling skill like Flameblast and just level Zombies, SRS and EK along?

yea, use what ever spell feels better for u, Lightning Tendrils is also good.

Hi, thank you so much for your hint with Lightning Tendrils.
As of now I'm level 22 and it's going better than before. I've realised that I can't level up EK because I don't have the DEX. Therefore EK damage was way too low.

I'm levelling with Desecrate, Zombies, Flameblast and Lightning Tendrils. I found boss fights pretty hard since my zombies die often and could not be resummoned (didn't have Desecrate back then).


If I want to be tanky, would you recommend the life build? It has AA, so this seems like a pretty big advantage for Bloodlines. On the other hand life jumps up and down in the videos while ES loses 20% at most.. I'm kind of worried I won't have enough life if I go with the life build.

How do I defend myself against physical damage with the CI build? AA? CWDT? I don't see those gems in your gear.

Positioning. You need to hide behind your minions. Learn how to direct your zombies so they are between you and the monsters. Also use a granite flask when needed. You shouldn't be getting hit by direct attacks, only thing it should hit you are AOE attacks.

Use a defencive curse like enfeeble or temporal chains or both.

This doesn't sound very HC viable to me :O
