You video shows you attacking very fast, but you have no hardly any attack speed on your gear.. How are you accomplishing this? I have about 30+ attack speed on my gear, plus most of the passive attack speed nodes, but am not attacking near as fast.. What is your secret? :)

Just letting you know, you waste 2 dex nodes in your tree when instead you can pick up 1 end charge + 18% inc end charge duration to link the path

Also, i would recommend helping oak in cruel for 18% phys damage instead of the 8% speed, this will make it ever slightly more easy to maintain your mana pool and most likely increase your damage more then an 8% speed boost

edit: and why do you use abyssus? you are gimping yourself without using Bringer of rain, 15% block extra is huge, its easy to get 50%+ dual wield block with it and a proper tree which is crazy

And how do you go with physical reflect with your crits?

Going resolute technique means a constant and predictable leech rate with vaal pact, instead of spiky slightly unpredictable leech rate with crits

Here is what I would do with non resolute technique if you really want that extra 12% life leech

But more damage = more leech, with 2 x 3% from claws and 2% from tree it and 100% chance to hit with good dps I think it is better

The hardest boss content is all focused around taking burst damage and big hits, if you have 3-4k life it is simply not enough, you will die. merc dominus is nothing compared to some end map boss damage, this is why you need upwards of 5k life and constant leech + unwavering to facetank them

Ill keep you posted how my build goes, havent been able to play at all lately

Hey, nice guide :)

Using this build too since i recently started PoE again. But I got some questions:
First, why are you using "Life Gain on Hit" instead of "Life Leech"? Life Leech only got a 130% multiplier instead of 150% as Life Gain on Hit does. And I think (didn't calculated it though) the amount on life leeched is higher than the flat value of life gain or am I mistaken?

Also, just theoretically because I lack the founds anyhow, would be Alphas Howl no good idea, for aura usage and of course "cannot be frozen"?

Hi there!
I recommend using life on hit while you level this build, simply because you can skip vaal pact and have life on hit AND lifeleech from nodes. Then spec into vaal pact in late game instead 65+

Alpha's howl isn't a bad choice, thou i don't hink you would have alot of mana left if you choose to go 3 auras(third being determination)

Freezing isn't an issue, i rarely get frozen, and when i does i have antifreeze on one of my manapots.

The reason for abyssus being so good is because it adds 40-60 flat damage to BOTH your weapons, this means that you get 80-120 more flat damage out when using dualstrike, and the damage added also scales with all your nodes etc. since a couple of patches back.

Hi AlfaPOWA and ur build is amazing im 66 atm and doing fine.The problem is there is no way to have hatred,grace,determination or maybe im doing something wrong hehe.Im not using vaal pact yet at all somehow without it i have also no problems,but maybe that will change on maps.
