Alternatively, berserking and capping resists @ 77% is an option with the remaining 5 points or only capping lightning, taking berserking, then taking the 15% 1h node.
It sort of slipped my mind, but instead of taking the marauder mini life wheel we could rather take the 1h/life hybrid wheel by resolute technique. This gives us a little more attack speed, more life, and more 1h damage instead of only life. // I think I'm wrong. I think taking sentinel is better than taking the marauder armor keystone. I don't feel that I have any mobility problems with 34 movespeed and I think that the priority is to have exactly two armor keystone passives; it's the only way for me to feel comfortable playing in high maps and sentinel just gives more armor. I've tried playing with only one and it just doesn't work, especially on fracture, unless you intend to play super conservatively on that mod and/or avoid it. // Alright, we take leather and steel and steel skin in the reference tree that I proposed. I think this is insufficient armor; we need one more keystone or the life/armor hybrid node. The life/armor nodes are too far out of the way on this reference tree. So we must take sentinel. // WRONG. The marauder armor node gives me 6828 total armor pre buffs vs 6567 from sentinel. We also lose 2% absolute movespeed. Sentinel is inferior and 4 armor keystones total is overkill in my opinion. Switching back. It looks like because our evasion rating is 0 (having taken iron reflexes) we only get the 24% from sentinel to armor and 0% to evasion. There is merit in taking sentinel - it helps on elemental weakness for instance, but in terms of maxing armor given 3 armor/eva keystones, it's worse than taking armor mastery. Makes me wonder if I should keep sentinel and drop leather and steel. // Dun diddit. 36% movespeed (there was no movement speed penalty being applied in the first place) and armor went from 6567 to 6619 - a good trade from 6828 armor for a 10 point buff to strength and 2% movespeed. Here's an updated 108 point tree (lvl90) to reflect changes: The plan from here is to take the north and south life mini wheels relative to resolute technique.

Hi, I've been following your build and it has been going pretty great. I'm already in Act 1 of Cruel. I wanna say thank you for this guide.
Now, I have a question regarding cast on damage taken + supporting skills. You said that we can level the skills linked to COD and keep CODT at level 1 but its turning out that I can't use my level 10 and 8 totem and curses with CODT because they are above its level req of 31 at level 1. Can you clarify this please? I tested it with fresh totem and curse (e.g level 1) and it worked with COD just fine. Does this mean I have to make sure that those skills won't have a level req of more than 31 to be able to use CODT level 1? |

" Hey sawseech, I am really enjoying the work you are doing on optimizing this tree. I think it is more efficient to take both of mini health wheels south of RT as it saves 2 nodes and using those two nodes to pick up the 15% melee phy node and the 12% sword/axe node below by the blade. that's an extra 27% phy dam vs. 40 Str (20 Base HP and 8%) What's your take. Here is my new 118 point tree

" This is correct, only level the supporting gems enough so that they don't go over the supported gem level of the CWDT. |

Still trying to decide what to do for my level 84.

" That's interesting, I hadn't thought of that. My char has 5951 life (before exercising the option to take 2x 3 by 8% life clusters) - it feels like I've taken enough life for now. My only concern with your approach would be that it's taking too much armor; with steel skin, sentinel, and armor mastery I already feel like we have enough. What you propose is certainly more efficient though. |

How about taking the 3x 8% life node, retaking berserking, then taking axe and sword damage/15% melee? I feel that, at the very least, we're close to pinning down a universal tree which would look something like this:

Taking berserking might be very important for someone using the new bringer to give them a better chance at blinding; I happen to have a legacy and blind just fine without it but I'd need to playtest the new one before I could form an opinion on this.
|

Another thing worth pointing out is although I dropped leather and steel for sentinel the optimal gear for 1.1 might be to use an abyssus w. carcass jack to make up for the life nerf to bringer. I don't think that using strength gear on appendages enforces a movespeed penalty and carcass is an evasion/energy shield armor so there shouldn't be a movespeed penalty there either. For now, I think that dropping leather and steel is best.
