At what point do I take the Duality nodes near Unweavering stance?

Whenever you feel like you need a little more damage/life =)

they offer both, and it is never a bad time to take them. 45+ should be a good time.

I might make a leveling tree later, wich shows tree progression.

EDIT: edited the buildguide, it now has an progressiontree

Thank you so much :)

hey op!

I like this guide a lot, but I really wanted to go swords over claws. I just wanted to see what your input on my current build was. http://tinyurl.com/indrctpoe

Towards endgame you will have a hard time if you follow my guide without the extra lifeleech from claws. I would recommend you using the carnage heart unique to balance out the leech lost from clawnodes, then for the points you save from clawnodes, take some extra lifennodes to balance out the lifeloss from carnage heart.

i was wondering, when i have my 2 auras running ihave 20% mana left -> thats about as much as 80mana

dualstrike in a 4l costs me 40 mana so you already see the problem here.. i dont think i can leech enough mana but i will test this right now

have i overseen something here?

€: so the multistrike helps to be able to keep up attacking most of the time, still i run out of mana sometimse ofc but it seems to work

another question is: what kind of claws should I aim for? Vaal claw? guess its to slow so the fastest ones with highest mindmg then?

I know what ur talking about.Ur cost will be around 65-70mana per hit at the end Lv20 gems i mean,2% leech for mana is enough from what i have noticed.You will need to have around 120-150 mana left after 2 auras if u dont want to stop attacking for a sec.

I was experimenting last night with Cast on damage taken Lv1 / Blood rage Lv1 / Reduced duration Max Lv20 . The 3 Frenzy's u get boost the dps and mov speed nice.The downside is the 4% chaos dmg but it only lasts for around 3-4secs and the frenzy charges last 10-12 secs :).

I also didnt take vaal pact yet , somehow i dont think i need it lol.Facetanking Piety in any form isnt a problem at all so i dunno should i go for it at all.

When in endgame you should have around 600+ mana, then you get around 150 mana left after auras, that's 2,5 times the manacost of your attackskill, that's enought if u get 3-4% leech, 2% will make you stop attack sometimes if your'e using a 6L

what really helped me leveling and still does is warlords mark on damage taken
because even if you burn thru your pots then they are full before you even look and ofc extra manaleech

the claw question remains anyway

Get a claw with good damage and around 1,5 speed, if you get more you are gonna start having manaproblems.

This would end all your problems even with 6l



That is all the mana leech you would need.Still you can mix if ur lucky and find good pdps claws with mana leech on them or rings with mana leech.Hope this helps
Edit:Whatever you do,you will need to have around 150ish spare mana
