Still, I wonder, how do you plan to change your skills according to the next patch, regarding Cast on damage taken?
That patch seems to be a huge loss for this build. Probably not the only one though.
thanks. the patch doesn't really hurt us. i was thinking about:
lvl 1 cwdt + enduring cry + ice nova increase area of effect
high lvl cwdt + vulnerability + molten shell
Why do you favour ice nova over temporal chains?
Except for monsters immune to curses, which don't seem to appear that often, isn't temporal chains better?
Hi all,
I use this build and like it a lot.
just a little thing I made to improve it (imo).
I first try to generate power charges with a Cwdt gems, but this was'nit really usefull.
I'm now running with flicker strike to generate it in a 4L:
Flicker strike + power charge on crit + inc crit strikes + melee splash
This run pretty well, and don't have to move during fight, just teleport is so cool (and OS mob in 66 maps when crit :) )

Out of curiosity, what purpose does the ice nova with cast on damage serve?
chill effect

So heres my build so far its working pretty well , with hatred i have 3106 dps with reave at 6.5 atk speed and 18% crit chance, I have 560 life 630 es only though and 65% evade with grace , only 32% block so far and i get killed quite easily in merc act 1 because of that , but i kill very fast , im 52 as of now and could have been much much higher if i didnt die so much especially in end of act 3 cruel.... not sure what to do now to improve my survavibility while i wait for my ES to pump up, i hhave been stacking up orbs to be able to buy the coming up gear but not sure what i should focus on right away...
Hints? ( budget doesnt include exalteds yet :P )
yea saving up orbs to upgrade your gear is a good idea.
you have to improve your es. your helm and shield must be upgraded next.

Hello,
Thanks for sharing ur build, i'm really like it, atm i'm running it in life based with evasion, i like the idea.
But, do u think it's viable for map 70+ ?
Any tips for life based ?
=)
get as much life as you can then it'll be viable.

First, thanks for the awesome work, it realy helped me with my first character, wich is a shadow. I realy love this build, it's super fun to build, and didn't had any problem for most of the content ... until now ^^
I'm in the middle of act 3 in cruel, and i'm realy struggling right now ( i'm lvl 51 )
Here are my items :
Spoiler
As for stats, i'm at 600 hp and about 890 ES ( with discipline ).
I've got nearly 60%/70% in all my resist
But my dps is realy bad, i'm around 700 dps with reave. I have a only a to add but i can't with my current gear
I guess i should have more ES and more dps, but i'm realy unlucky and i can't find any good gear for me, and i don't want to waste my currencies on craft.
I don't know what to do. Should i try to run and farm dock as much as i can ? I'm not even sure i will be able to farm docks with this shitty gear
Anyway, even with a lots of death, this build is still fun to use so thanks again for sharing it.
P.S: English is not my native language so this post might be a little bit painfull to read, my apologies
I don't think it will work since Ice Nova will do way too little damage to be able to chill the mobs. Maybe when you have a lot of crit multiplier and the nova crits you'll be able to chill them but I'm not so sure. I couldn't chill a single skeleton in merciless the ledge at least.

the problem is your gear. you have to improve it. you could try farming a bit. for merc you need xx-1xx phys dmg on your claw to leech enough es/mana back. link that phys dmg gem to reave asap. also you'll need more es for merciless. your problems are all gear-related i'm afraid.

Did you get it to work, Perz?
nice nickname you have there!
well ice nova is just for the cool looks ;) actually i'm trying ice spear + pcoc + gmp + cwdt atm to gather up some power charges. it works pretty well. mostly i run around with 4 frenzy, 3 power, 3 endurance charges.
this goes out to all the reflect haters: i LOVE reflect since all my gems linked to cwdt proc all the time lol. it's freaking awsome. i'm trying to roll phys/ele(hatred!) reflect on all my maps.

Are you running that combo with a cwdt on level 1? Seems like a good setup. And have cwdt lvl1, enduring cry, enfeeble/vulnerability/whatever curse, molten shell/decoy totem on another link seems like the best combo to me.
