I've got a question for you soul taker + cyclone users:

is concentrated effect reaaly worth it? I've got like 35 int on my blender (can still spend points in 2x 30 int nodes), so I was wondering if the dps boost is really worth the radius nerf. What's the best gem setup nowadays? I was planning cyclone + added fire + life gain on hit + weapon elemental damage

it is much worth it over weapon elemental damage, assuming of course u got the luxury of having +int in ur items (i personally got 60 int from my jewlery)

can you update the passive skill tree

look for my post towards the end of p232.

Please could someone explain to me why Iron Reflexes is such a musthave for this build? I mean it removes all the evasion we have and so we are protected (partially) against physical damage only, not elemental for example. I see that IR is important if you have BoR but if you don't then maybe EV+Armour would be better?

This is my favorite version of the tree:

Sawseech seems to love the armor notable in Marauder; I'm still not sure those 3 points are worth it, but I took them anyway. You could instead spend those points among various options, including the Templar 1% regen node; the 12% node under By the Blade; Sentinel; or Heart of Oak. Based on how this game calculates crit reduction from that node (it's really not very good), I'm not sure those 3 points are so well-spent.

This build has a decent amt. of dmg, high life, and an endurance charge (and regen from EC charges). I will have 5 EC charges up most of the time, giving me 20% reduced dmg taken and easier overcapped resistances for maps that need it, along with 1% hp/s.

The more common route is to connect the Marauder to the Duelist along the top half of hte tree, skip going for the Templar 3x 8% life ring, and connecting the Templar area to the life ring by Scion. Overall, this saves you 2 points, which then if you take out the Marauder Armor (3 points), you can pick up the 3 8% nodes below Marauder for 5 points. Not worth it imo, since we still get 24% hp going my route, and some ele damage, along with comparable str vs the attribute node path.

If you really, really don't like ECs, then you can of course connect the trees via the top route and save another point (or two? I can't remember... I think it's 1, assuming you don't want the hybrid nodes under RT).

With the nerfs to BoR, I am strongly considering picking up an extra Frenzy charge by Duelist and going Blood Dance boots (generally unadvised since you would have a very, very hard time capping resists with no chest, BoR and Blood Dance). This would give me 4% more hp/s, attack speed, etc., for one point. It would potentially make our armor skyrocket (since you can potentially use a GG chest and helm), but we of course would probably still lose some damage, as the damage from BoR is probably worth more than the frenzy charges. You also lose the block from BoR, along with the on-block ECs. You could gain more life obviously going with a GG helm/chest.

BoR is probably still best, but there is some room for debate here I think.

Started also a marauder. Here is my tree. Don't really know what to do now.

- DPS gain with resolute technique is insane.
- Resist: Still need to spend those points in Sentinel, Diamond Flesh etc. until i get better dual , tri res gear

Would you guys follow up into the ranger area now? Will spend next points in DPS. So choosing the Duelist attack speed passive?

any advice on gear?

Until you can actually afford a soul taker axe, you could rock two of these:


your survivability will be insane, although your DPS will be a bit lower.

Also try to get a second ring with flat phys damage and resists, elemental damage doesn't do anything for you , it doesn't scale as well as flat phys damage.

A Megingiords belt will also give you more damage and 10% more HP

Cheers

Bringer of rain has +% chance to block as well. Do you wield it at the moment?

Can you fix the skill tree? Since newest patch it's broken, a little.
It would be great to know-how set up passives after last reset and changes in tree. Some stuff and passives are missing in links, so we don't know how to set them again.
Cheers.
