I've been having a lot of fun with this char although I still working on getting all the right pieces. I'm currently lvl 67. I found a really nice life/tri res chest with 5 slots but I can't for the life of me 5 link it and its really annoying! Also need to get 2% mana leech gloves and high dmg claws but i'm doing pretty well so far.

Im trying to follow ur build, but as im rather new, i could need some help :)

well, first things first: thanks for this guide, its a lot of fun and well explained!

currently im lvl 69 (highest char i have) and running lvl 66-69 maps.

my gear is kinda ok, got a 5L armor and one good claw, for that i had to spend most of my money, the other stuff isnt really good but will be changed as soon as i can afford it.

now to my problems:

1.) res... i have purity running instead of grace, but im still 77/38/68... i guess i can only get that from equip? rings most likely? or is it ok to have like 60/60/60 and get close to full res with endurance charges?

2.) mana... i got 124 mana left if hatred and purity are running. thats enaugh for enfeeble/enduring cry/molten shell, but even with 2% mana leech i cant handle my dualstrike. so currently its running on blood magic, which kinda sucks as i lose a spot for added fire dmg/life on hit. what can i do? get more mana from items? vaal pact only works for life, not for mana, right? how can i manage this with grace running, which costs a lot of mana more than purity?

3.) high burst... some enemys can just 2hit me, for example the gold boss at the end of lvl 66 crypt map - if the map has mods giving him more dmg/me less protection im just dead before i can even start leeching life. i have to admit, im not using vaal pact yet as i still need life flasks, but i cant imagine that will change too much? or will it?

i already wrote to u about the 2% mana leech gloves in ur shop, hoping they will help me a little with 2.), still im having some trouble atm :/

ty!

€dit: why are u running life on hit instead of life leech support gem?

GZ :)
Now when you start to use it make sure you got atleast 15%+leech and vaal pact, and can run grace+hatred.
You will start to notice that your dps will skyrocket(5-15K+ depending on your gear Before equiping it), but it also means that you will take more phys damage = no slacking!
Start playing agressive, really agressive. If you back of you will die, since you can't regen :)

Hi,

This is my gear atm. I have 15k DPS. And my mana is good. With the next lvl UP, I could skill out of Mana Flows and get Vaal Pact.
Do you think I could get Mana problems, because of my fast Claw?

Spoiler

since dual strike evens out the speed of both weapons your actual speed is 1,1+1,62/2=1,36+dualwield speedbonus(15%?)
You'll be fine :)
