Why no elemental resistance nodes?

You can grab Diamond Flesh pretty easily if you need it... Otherwise your gear should cover enough resistances.

Anyone run this with skeletons or zombies? What are your linked gems?

Is it better to run zombie/skele totem?

I prefer skele toems, since they do not require corpses.

How does this build do end game? Im not talking 66-68 maps that every class and build can do with eyes closed. Im talking high Quantity level 75+ maps with brutal mods.

I've had a lot of fun with this build. Currently at lvl 75. I'm no pro player at all, but doing Piety runs or 67/68 maps with reasonably hard mods is a piece of cake.

I did choose a somewhat different path than OP. Went for axes instead, since I had some good ones laying around and since there are a few good axe nodes close to the scion/duelist areas.

My skill tree currently looks lik this:

Currently, I have two points invested in resist nodes, but I plan to drop those as soon as I get better gear. I currently prioritise MF, and it would be easy to make that change if you didn't care about finding good loot. ;) I also have some points in mana- and life regen which I probably will drop since leech is now high enough. Very useful when levelling though.
The remaining points will probably be spent on more axe damage, or maybe towards the Harrier node, maxing out on IAS. Since I have no major issues with dying, I currently don't prioritize armour/life.

My gear is fairly mediocre. Since I'm a casual player, I don't have the exalts to invest in crazy good stuff. Bought the Aurseize and the boots for a few chaos each. The rest is found or crafted.


Main attack is throw (ofc) with LMP, added fire and ele damage. Secondary/single target attack is double strike (LOH+speed+phys dmg) - atm 5k dps. I use leap (+speed) for transportation, mainly. I use Grace + Clarity + reduced mana.
Flasks - two high quality seething for emergencies. Quicksilver of adrenaline, becasuse it's boring to walk. One granite of reflexes and one jade of reflexes - using them both at the same time boosts my armour a fair deal since I'm using IR.
Finally, CWDT + enduring cry + molten shell + life totem. Before the nerf, molten shell was awesome, but now it's only a little help. Currently keeping it at lvl 9.

Didn't die once until I hit merc Vaal, which desynced badly and got me with the lightning attack even tho I had full resist. Since, I have died once to Piety because of desync (was in a safe spot, but took damage none the less), and some time to the serpents in Sarn Slums (damn that chaos damage!).
When I get leeching going, got some endurance charges up, got molten shell and totem - I can tank most stuff. Solid and fun build.

Been runnin this build for a while and im currently 75, with decent gear everything has been cake basicly, started mapping at 58 with close to no issues pulling around 12k double strike and 3k ST with hatred aura. Thanks Iggy for this sweet build! =)

hey guys, OP here. sorry for taking so long. I got a promotion at work (YAY!) but it has really limited the amount of time I've been able to play. I will update the OP full on soon and soon enough, but thanks to all the higher level players helping all the others with questions i can't get to, it means a lot!

Hi, thanks for the build,I'm following it and I really enjoy it,I'm pretty new to this game and I was wondering if u can add a section where you give your recommandation for gems leveling,which quality to have first and where should we stop leveling gems,when you have time :)

Thanks and congratz

Good news Iggy. Let's brainstorm some updates to this build now ^_^

Never mind... missread something
