You should have enough life regen to over heal 100% ST uptime without losing life so when you add life leech to the mix it's basically free to cast. The only downside for now is the drop in DPS since i only have a 4L. Upside is other then Decoy Totem, Curse and Leap Slam my mana pool is always full to take hits. So yeah less dps, but in rough spots it's better to skill slow than not having mana to cast ST while surrounded by mobs, imo. Up to this point i had doubts about going all the way up to EB especially because i didn't want to gear with ES. But with the right mana nodes ya i agree on the bm thing.. but i just rather have the dps. as for eb.. all i had was like 200ish es on a chest and it was amazing " Pi0neer wrote: Im loving this build so far.

Think I'm finally calling it quits to this build. Reached 67 and duoing maps with a summoner. The build just isn't tanky enough for its lack of damage. I just feel like a liability in maps - not worth the increase hit points of the mobs for how little damage I can contribute while still remaining quite squishy. Maybe I'll come back to it once I get some more gear but for now think she'll retire. :( Was definitely fun tho!	Posted by lindz#4839 on Nov 6, 2013, 12:37:08 AM Quote this Post

Did you have a bit of mana regen on your gear? I find myself having to mana pot up too often without BM. min maxing Vortex Occultist two leagues in a row. What next?

I've leveled 2 ST Scions (lvl60+) using EB+MoM, made a mistake with the first, my build has a bit less mana then yours but also has the 2% mana leech passive. Been trying to find the best balance between dps and survivability. I'm starting to think that MoM needs an additional bonus to mana regen/%max because of the amount you use for skills and absorbing damage. To support MoM you need to spend quite a few points in mana passives plus most of the HP passives you already get. It just doesn't seem worth it. Straight health builds can run 2 auras and have more dps passives. MoM just seems a bit lacklustre. I haven't mapped with any of my builds yet, just comparing passive tree bonuses. Any input on how this build would fare mapping?	Posted by Rage09#4892 on Nov 6, 2013, 5:03:56 AM Quote this Post

Any input on how this build would fare mapping? i dont grab eb/mom till i about lvl 75, i focus on the life/armor first, and getting the mana set up for eb/mom. when you do take it at that lvl it is amazing with just 1 piece of gear with 150+es its amazing. im thinkin of rerouting a mana regen node to take the mana leach node as far as maps.. i wont go into maps till im lvl 80 cause farming piety is so good for xp and loot IGN @Dbum Last edited by dbum#5843 on Nov 6, 2013, 3:07:44 PM	Posted by dbum#5843 on Nov 6, 2013, 3:05:07 PM Quote this Post

Sorry for my noobinesh. I just started nemesis with this guide in my mind some time ago. Since i got really juicy uniq maul leveling has been awfully fast. i have questions tho. 1) what do you think about enfeeblement linked to cwdt? Works great with my duelist. 2) why not lightning strike? Will it lack dps badly later? 3) on what level you approx started to get max resistances? I might need to upgrade gear before I die first time :)	Posted by Possu81#4049 on Nov 7, 2013, 12:16:00 AM Quote this Post
