do u need to focus on gear with ES i guess but is there a specific must have skill before u get CI?
If you read the skill it says that you are immune to chaos damage. That's why we use it. So monster with chaos damage don't hurt you at all + you can use skills like blood rage (which deals chaos damage to you over time) without getting hurt either.
So yes, you need to focus on ES so other damage sources (physical, elemental) don't kill you.

Hi, what is the best Bandit Reward in Normal, Cruel and Merci.?
I'm lvl 61 now and I need roughly 6 more lvl to VP. But I'm curious, is it more important to get VP or the 4 nodes after CI for more ES? But if I skill those first I would get VP at lvl 70 maybe which is maybe a bit late? Or would the ES boost from those nodes help me more to survive than VP would? Thanks :)

vaal pact all the way. this node helps you stay alive.
Hello Perz, first of all i wanna thank you for the build, i felt icredibly powerful at the moments. Though, i had rough times, those were more about me not changing gear for 10+ lvls, cause "i will have it in 2 lvls, it's ok". Also grouping or playing with a friend or two helps a lot if u feel underpowered at the moments.
I specced to CI at start of merciless and i'm feeling very good until now, easily farming docks, lvl 66 for now.
So, my question is, if u can spare me a minute or two, what should i change in the first place, so i can start doing maps? I tried 2 or 3, and it was pretty hard, it's ok, i can slowly deal with mobs and progress through them though, but i have really hard problems with all map unique bosses i met - they were hitting incredibly hard, and i was just dying at some point pretty fast. (I do realise i need alpha's howl and eye of chayula as i had some problem with cold mobs and stuns, saving for it for now, but i feel like it won't solve my problem with boss fights)
(My current shield is 2900 (with discipline) and dps with reave is 4500 (with hatred aura) and 5000 with frenzy charges from blood rage)
Here's my current (lvl 66) spec and gear. Thanks again and in advance :) I'm in love with this build.
Tried some more maps lvl 66 today at lvl 69, with vaal pact for now, still bosses are hitting the **** out of me xD Don't even know what am i doing so wrong :( returned to faceroll docks for more ^_^ Some advice, pleeeasse ^_^

you'll need more es and possibly a 5l for reave. also are your res capped?
well, 2 of them are 75 and fire is 72.
So i need to focus on alpha's how, amulet, 5L and more ES =) Thanks, will try to do it.
Have a feeling that i gonna farm for it in docks until 80 :D thanks a lot anyways
Perz would be awesome if You could write story how u started with this build becouse sometimes its more pain than fun . You posted "full done" build which is crazy amazing ,its trurely is but more and more ppl has hard times with early/mid game.

yea it can be hard if you don't have most of the items needed for this build. i also died a few times in the beginning of merciless. i tried to max out my es and i always had at least a 4l for reave (in merciless i even had a 5l to lvl up to the end-game) so my dmg was always good enough to leech es to its fullest. if you're having a hard time, try finding high es pieces to lvl up and at least get a 4l with reave + faster attacks + multistrike + melee dmg (on full life). also eye of chayula is very important to not get stunned by enemies. it's a huge difference with and without that amulet.

Thanks! Will do that :) I got another question (sorry) about the Gem Cast when Damage taken. It has reduced damage for the support gems, but since (we) only use vulnerability and molten shell as well as enduring cry - will this has an reduced effect on these too? If not it's probably advised to let this gem be on level 1 since it has the less damage taken to trigger?
