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.

We could also find two points by not taking the ranger mini wheel and taking the speed nodes instead; this would play well if we intend to not take berserking after all!
