Perz' Reave Shadow

Hello! I have two questions

-I see that with the new skilltree you can now achieve the required skillpoints to IR and Unwavering stance in less levels, making the armor-version doable in earlier levels. Is this right? Or was there another reason to wait for level 89 to do that version?


-Also, are the critical strike nodes mandatory? I dont really like having peaks and I dont know how much my DPS will lower if I don't use the 5-8 nodes of pure critical in the tree. And if it lowers your dps too much not using them, what would it be a good replacement? Another wheel of claw damage maybe? I have seen a couple near the route
Hello Per'z , please tell me, I want to start playing this build, I need to buy first and foremost?

Hi, I have started this build, currently lvl 54, its going ok, tough to find good stuff. Not much damage, ES, or evasion.

After finding a Solaris Lorica it got me thinking about modding this build to an armour,ES, unwavering stance build.

Hey guys. Have a quick question, but first, my gear.



Two questions.

1. My DPS is quite a bit lower than yours, Perz. Is this because my claw is below average? Even with full charges across the board, I hover at about 30k max.

2. Mana is a problem. With both auras active, I cannot use Reave as often as I like. If I miss due to desync, I often cannot cast again. I have 123 mana unreserved with my auras active, and with 6 links Reave uses 60 mana/cast. What should I do about this?

Madous,

The 2 things that I notice immediately.

1) You are lacking extra accuracy on your items, you will notice that Perz has about +500 accuracy rating. I would recommend swapping your Sapphire ring for a higher level version (similar resistances, but try to get +accuracy on it as well instead of that evasion rating.) Might also consider swapping your Aurseize Guantlets for a rare guantlet.

2) Yes, your claw is subpar for getting the damage output you are looking for, that extra +phys damage is huge. Also, the +accuracy rating on it is very low.


Hope that helps!

Thanks for the advice! I just bought a new pair of gloves and swapped a few pieces around. Does this look better?



The gloves have a great accuracy roll on it, and a pretty nice ES boost as well. As for the claw, I'm stuck between hoping for a flat phys roll with an exalted or trying to buy one off poexyz... And for whatever reason, good claws are VERY hard to come by. :(

It does look better, hopefully you will notice a difference. Unfortunately, the higher tier weapons do tend to be hard to come by. Keep an eye out, but I would say getting that ring replaced would be higher priority as one more good accuracy roll will make your sustainability a lot better. If you can't hit, you can't survive, better to have a lighter hit than a harder miss. Hopefully you notice a bit of a difference!

you can still exalt your claw, can't you?

I can, yes. I know I can hope for a flat phys roll and that would make me cry tears of joy, but I can also roll almost any other prefix. So the odds of that happening are slim.

I don't have the budget to eternal/exalt it either, sadly.
