Could use some feedback on this. My bandit rewards are different and I really don't like frenzy.

Planning to use some elemental auras (potentially off of life) and the standard brotem.

Edit: was LA before, no real first hand experience with physical builds. Figured I'd use the respec to do this. Hardcore league in case that's relevant.

Is this build viable for 0.11.2?

yes, best build for physical crit 11.2 atm

this is not crit build for hc.

sry read wrong


best physical crit build for SC


HC dunno, just watched it, didn find it sooooooooooooooooooo good ^^

I'm level 65 on Onslaught with this build. I can say that it has been quite fun. Thanks to Victor Doom for posting this build, and updating it even though he's currently not playing it.

This is my first (and only) hardcore character so far, and I mostly solo (I do group for hard bosses). Right now I'm a bit stuck in Merciless Act I while I farm the Ledge, because my resists are still low (in the 30s and 40s). My gear is mostly self-found and generally kind of crappy, though I did get an excellent physical bow drop.

I use Poison Arrow (currently unsupported) on physical and elemental reflect mobs, and it works very well. When I get better sockets/links I will use Added Chaos with Poison Arrow. Poison Arrow is also very nice for boss mobs that stay put, and I have a leveled Puncture available for gem swapping and kiting mobile bosses as well.

I use a Split Arrow totem with an Q8% Split Arrow gem (supported by Faster Attacks and Faster Projectiles) to increase my DPS and to hold agro. I have a decoy totem as well, but honestly, the Split Arrow does a pretty good job of attracting and holding agro. I tend to "twist" the Split Arrow and Decoy Totems when Rhoas are around, or in emergencies.

With both Mana Flows and Primal Spirit, plus a Mana Leech on my Frenzy, I have no mana problems and can generally spam ROA and Frenzy. I will eventually spec out of Primal Spirit, especially once I can support my curses with Reduced Mana.

Just two days ago I had the luck to get a The Covenant, which allows me to cast Grace using Blood Magic. I don't know if stacking extra auras on health using The Covenant is by design or a bug, but I'm going to use the mechanic while it is still in the game. As soon as I get the skill gems, I will be adding Anger and/or Wrath to my auras via The Covenant.

I wanna change build a little bit (go for more defence), can you tell me how this affect my dps (with Lioneye's Glare)

cons:
--40% PROJ DMG
--12% att spd
--20% phys dmg

pros:
++32%HP
++52% EVA
++110% Crit chance
++55% crit multiplier

updated, i forgot to do the build in case you have a lioneyes glare, because of the massive attack speed and no need for accuracy i suggest you get rid of the acc nodes and get more mana.

im still on the forums guys, i am pretty busy, ill probably return tot he game when im finished with real life stuff, but just PM me if you need help with anything.

Need help with gearing up



Current tree



Running wrath, anger, hatred, grace, determination - 2600 HP Resist capped atm. Seems like lacking of survivability on solo play. Is it decent amount health to have ? Should i get extra leech on gear ?

How to deal with ele / phys reflect mods on map ? I tried swapping Added Fire with life leech 20/20 on RoA link for reflect map, still no go :/

Hi, been using this build in Onslaught and so far works nice, but I noticed youre going for Iron Grip and Resolute Technique in HC variant, is that a good idea? From what Ive read in other guide, RoA doesnt miss, so why waste points on RT? Wouldnt stopping around the 9HP node area make more sense to spare some points which could be put into bow dmg/accuracy or life nodes? Or perhaps some +30/+20Str nodes if keeping Iron Grip on makes sense then?
Ben.
