Seeing as I dont RMT or get lucky it seems as though I would need insane amounts of luck to afford this "exclusive rich people" build.

If I sat around in act 1 normal and merchanted all day, I would have enough money to run this build with slightly suboptimal items within two weeks, based off my experience doubling my currency over the past two days when I was waiting for an auction to end. However, doing that is exceedingly boring.

You mean if you sat in trade 1 all day running fusing lotto's on shavs and volts? Yep, very boring :)

Its not like its unplayable without supreme uber gear, you'll get there.

exactly. the build evolves with auras that u use to get to this stage. this is simply near the final stage. The amount of block/dodge to trivialize reflect is 58% block and 38% evade.

Your block/ev will not be as good to start. but with proper flask usage and proper micro you'll get closer and closer and safer and safer.

Only the more experienced players should attempt to a build such as this one.

I absolutely do NOT recommend this as a first char in any league!!!

That being said, I love it when I see people achieve it to the highest level of batman phys wanding. time well spent!

So i guess my question is: 1) Where should i take my passive tree first (wand dmg nodes, or the bottom left defenses?) and 2) what Stats besides just ES should i be looking for on my shield/helm. And I suppose After that, 3) what upgrades should i look for next to best improve my character. My goal is to shortly start progressing through maps.


Thanks a ton for the advice, Loving the build.

Phalanx to bulwark. then to overcharge. then to fusillade.

I switched over to wands a few lvls ago and have been having a blast. Can't sustain chain yet, but I can still solo thru cruel with no issues.

However, I went wands because I a) love witches and b) wanted this to be a group char, to get lots of benefit from aura's and ridiculous damage, so I have been partying almost everything since a3 normal.

I've only died twice now at 44 (dominus fight w/6 people, and some nasty leap slam boss in the zone before caverns of anger in a1 cruel), haven't taken a single life node, and have been using wands since about 36 right after the 2 skillpts from piety kill. I wanted to have fun with this build the whole way, instead of doing a textbook efficient leveling scheme. Of course hc/nem is a different story =)

I also really like how the constant crits synergize with the 10% added from each element. Enemies are frozen, burning, and shock stacking like crazy, and that will only get better once I can sustain chain again. And I love the effect when power siphon attacks kill enemies :) YOUR SOUL IS MINE.

Currently running: crit weak. wrath+clarity, ps+improved crit damage+lmp+life leech for clearing, ps+faster atks+improved crit damage+weapon ele dmg for bosses.

Im still debating on what to set up for defenses, probably wont need to sweat that till merciless. With the knockback effect you can shotgun for a few extra seconds before dropping the decoy totem and gaining distance, its great :) Bosses drop in seconds to that nice 4L single target attack. Wrath+that 30% lightning node adds a LOT of damage to your attacks at this level.

Ok that was all pointless, but I've been having a blast with my first wander ever and wanted to share. I had planned on sticking with using ice spells till around 50 and respec'ing into wands, but I got bored :)

Now that I got another 2% leech from a ring (plus 2 from passives) sustaining chain is no problem.

Doing great damage, very smooth room clearing.

awesome to hear when people finally get it all put together and have great success. its def a great feat to get there, but very rewarding!

Hi Hege,
Maybe I'm just dumb, but I read your FAQ about why you don't use shavs about 5x as well as some of your other posts in this thread about shavs, and I still don't quite understand what you mean. Why are you forced to use slower wands? and if you can only afford or have a crappy prophesy wand, is it then OK to go shavs? As others have indicated in this thread, I'm tempted to shavs and PA because I have a crown of eyes (and apparently owning a endgame prophesy wand should also make me want to go shavs?).

PS: Not rich as fuck like Hege :P
