How bad would this build be without soul taker? What did you do for bandits rewards?
|
|
" Linking Dom blow is huge amounts of mana especially 5L/6L - it may work with 4L but it still nowhere near the effectiveness of the axe. |
|
|
I got a question, howcome u could summon a lot of skeles? it doesn't reached the cap?
|
|
" There is no cap that I know of on the dominated monsters. (they do expire though) |
|
" Exactly. Actually I cannot even use dominating blow without soul taker as I just have 4x mana left after reserving for auras. For bandit rewards, i choose: normal: I helped oak, but kill all is also fine cruel: kill all merciless: kill all ign: thirsty_guy

How would you try to accomplish this build without soul taker? Do you think you could do dominating blow on blood magic?
|

" This is really difficult without soul taker. 5L: dominating blow - increased duration - multistrike - faster attack - melee splash Each hit will cost around 230 mana. You will need large mp pool and mana regen to sustain. EB is not preferred because we need ES for Aegis Aurora to work. With blood magic gem 5L: dominating blow - increased duration - multistrike - melee splash - blood magic Each hit will cost around 390 life. In my passive tree I didn't take too much life nodes as I prefer block rate > ES = armmor > life. With 2500 life and lv20 vitality, you can regen around 45hp per second, which is still far from the cost. The only way is to drop more support gems but this would hurt the build so much. Maybe I would give this a try later 5L dominating blow - increased duration - life leech - melee splash - blood magic This would cost around 280 hp per hit. The major concern would be the low attack speed which greatly reduces the chance of converting the monsters. ign: thirsty_guy

" Thanks for your advice. Yeah I think it would probably be very ineffecient and bad to try to do it without soul taker and aegis. It might be possible but it won't be anywhere near as good of a build as the one you have created. |

does the snapshot still work? i tried with tabula rasa and wear another 5L armor having the spectre gem on the same slot, then i zone in the spectre just die.
