Question, why is it you use that armor over some rare with high armor and life?

2nd Question, do you get to party up in groups without getting the boot because of that skill?

Anyways pretty fucking awesome build, I might give it a go

The "40% of physical damage taken as lightning damage" on the Lightning coil means i will resist 30% of physical damage taken with max lightning resist, which means we always get 30% physical damage reduction even vs the biggest hit in the game.

I haven't tried joining public groups yet but my friends doesn't seem to mind it.

Do projectile damage passive nodes increase incinerate damage? It doesn't seem to be affecting my tooltip dps.

Incinerate is a projectile spell so projectile damage nodes affect it. The damage per projectile at lower levels is probably so low it makes it hard to notice the difference.

Thanks very much!

I went back to Vaal to tank a few more smashes.

I did some math after tanking the Vaal smashes again and unless i calculated it wrong it does 4k fire and 4k physical damage.

I put all the calculations in the first post if anyone is interested.

I think you did it wrong, from what I understand, MoM should be factored in last after all the damage reduction. Also, is it really 50% fire, 50% phys? For all we know it could be 20% fire and 80% phys or vice versa.

Loving this build but the lack of dex nodes hurts early on. Level 39 and can't level a few greens due to 0 dex nodes. Other than it's been cruise control so far. Probably going to rush MoM and grab the Alacrity near EB so I don't have to worry about dex.

take alacrity +30dex skill :)

First of all this build is AWESOME for me, thanks Anders for sharing this.

In previous league i was MF junkie and decide to add some MF on this toon, lv 61 atm.

For all junkies over there you may have a decent +160% IIR with some low cost gears.

Now i'm pretty fine with the build and drops, just farm piety Merciless for about 4 hours with a Leap Slamer friend and it was great, 10+ yellows every run and some good uniques.



I can probaly find better boots and rings for a +200% IIR, will try perandus Belt for a +12% IIQ soon.

Need some mana regen ? / pool ? and i will be fine.

Thanks for Watching and GJ OP !!

I am also heading with that build. I am 71 Atm, finished merciless at 69 with crappy items, now they are decent imo. i ave changed the build a bit cause i can't find rathpith globe, so EB is useless. ATM i am using this items and skills and i dont have any proublems anywhere:
