Zacard might work in standard league but wonder if it will work in Nemesis/HC.

Donald thanks for the update I will continue to build this character.

Gear:

Spoiler

I think it's a lot harder in Nemesis. Maybe you want to try out in standard first.
I believe you need a least like 50+ to make this build really work efficiently. You need a lot of health node and iron reflex to build up your defense. And lvl up using ST and DS. After you hit like 50+ you can have sufficient critical chance to make this build really works.

Does this build need higher end CPU?

thanks for the awesome build DonaldF. I'm a new player and this is great.

I was wondering, if I could level using mainly EK instead of anything else effectively? You mentioned spectral throw, but I just died on my spectral throw ranger and I want to try something new.

Will it still be viable to use ethereal knives from level 4 to whatever with daggers?

I'm building this right now as a Scion and going Vaal Pact/// CI with 1h and shield instead of dual wield. Links will be Cyclone / CoC / Life Leech / EK / EK / EK

Hey,im thinking of trying this build out looks great,but after the nerf,whats it like? still as effective?

Yep how is this build after todays nerf?

it seems to have hurt its defense's somewhat on mine.

immortal call isnt as fast due to the 250ms but still works.

the leech/sustain portion took the biggest hit as far as i can tell. mine isnt leeching near as much as it was... also due to the 250ms on the defensive ek's.

the damage is still good but the defenses are lower.

thats my experience anyway.

can u up endgame build with 110 or more points ?

I really love high DPS. So, I'll take Throatseeker.
You can choose Throatseeker, Blinding Speed, Dervish, Vaal Pact, Crit nodes around Bloodthirst and Life nodes.

I'm using Core2Duo CPU that I bought 4 years ago :p
But, playing PoE needs good Graphic Card IMO.

Mine is Geforce 550Ti Boost.

I think using EK for leveling is not good.
EK needs high mana cost. This build doesn't have enough Mana.
I really recommend you to use weapon.

Please tell us your impressions. When you have completed your character.

Damage Taken gem 250ms is good change. Now, we don't need to be afraid Reflect Loop Death.
However, CwDT and CoC still way too OP.
I think it will be nerfed in the near future.

Thanks for the build, it is really fun. And so well thought through, amazing.

Anyway, I have some questions: Right now I'm using level 5 ST and I see you do too, but Cyclone just looks and feels wayyy cooler, any mana possible way to make it work? I'm also interested in your flask setup. Just because you will most likely know which flasks work best with the build.

To the guy asking to level *with* EK, don't, as Donald said. Level them in your x hand, i have 6 EK leveling there, you never know when you might need them.

I hope not too many find this build, at least not before I can buy my last CwDT.

Again, thanks, great job.
