I Cast Magic Missile! - Cantrip's Guide to Ethereal Knives

Made the character 2 days ago despite saying I'd wait for a better computer, but after getting the Lightning Coil I just wanted to see it in action.
I'm at lvl 54 so far just got into act 1 merciless. Not sure exactly what to do with the passive tree: Tree

At that point, I'd start heading down towards IR and MoM. Possibly get some more Life nodes before, depending on how squishy you are.

Assuming you're running a fully leveled Arctic Armor, you should be safe from now on, even before you get IR (at least for now). Especially since you're using a Lightning Coil.

Option 2 is to take the path to Templar now and get the last Aura circle + Inner Force.

Either way, I'm surprised you didn't take the "Life and Mana" nodes yet,

I'm pretty squishy actually so I probably should have taken some more defense. When Arctic Armor drained 70 mana a second I only had like 15 mana regen per second so I stopped leveling it, but my regen got a huge boost over a short amount of time, so now it's a bit underleveled.

Didn't think the Life/Mana notes were that important early on.

I have 1000 mana with 350 left after Clarity + Hatred. 142 Mana/sec. Etheral Knives is in a 4-Link with Added Fire, Life Leech and Faster Projectiles and has 1700 Damage.

Before posting I was thinking of going into the Templar Area to get the last Mana Reserved notes, but I think I will head towards IR and MoM instead now.

On Domination, it's worth anywhere between 20-24 Ex, in general. There were only a handful for sale, ever, so...

It just hit me. Why are you using Reduced Mana on the AA/Clarity link? It doesn't do anything to AA I believe and Clarity has such a low cost already I don't think it's necessary. Or is there another reason?

It's just for Clarity, yes. And don't forget that spare mana = life, so I don't want to use all of it up.

If I didn't have MoM, I wouldn't bother, though, or I'd add another Aura with Reduced Mana, as well.

so league is over next month, and used this guide. was very helpful, gonna try solo clear the see what happens :)

the gear ive accumalated on domination, gonna probably upgrade the wand before i run it


just want to say thanks for the great guide, was a pleasure to play
