enjoy the build while you can ppl because the nerf bat is coming due to kiddies complaining.

Hopefully GGG doesnt end up like blizzard and swing the nerf bat around just because people are butt hurt because their build sucks

Every once in a while someone appears in each good build's thread and say that it will be nerfed... How many of them got nerfed? I dont think too many...

Op, why do u use mind drinker? that's 2% mana leach for phys dmg but that should only work for no-damage cyclone and not for ek, am i missing something?

You're right...

That's why I'm using mana flask, as my daggers have nice crit, but low physical damage. so the leech is not that great.
But mana flask with recharge on crit affix does the job and it's not that much of an inconveniece to use it.
I was wondering if mana on kill nodes, that are availeble above Mind Drinker.

lvl 74 ranger here.

By taking a wild guess, i'll assume that mind drinker node would work due to the number of the attacks, not the damage of each individual attack. e.g. if i attack 3 mobs 3 times each (which i presume is a common case scenario) then that would feed me back with about 20 mana (assuming my average dmg with each attack is a bit above 100hp)which would be roughly half the mana cost for the next W/W. I currently (due to crappy equipment, since this is practically my first serious char) have about 2% mana leech (which i also -probably false- presume works on EK procs as well) and i'm having issues W/W-ing constantly solo bosses since my mana is depleting pretty fast. I think that this extra 2% would do the trick and actually fix this slight problem!

I haven't tested it yet, since i can't afford spending nodes on something that is not absolutely crucial (extra crit/extra hp/maybe that 15%ele rez) but i will, and post my conclusions.

PS: Thank you for reminding me my D2 w/w barb DonaldF! Ahh, those days!

Sorry in advance is the question sux but, very frequently, ppl say they have pb with mana or life (whetether they use BM or not) and everytime the answer is : life leech !
But... I checked the original guide, and trees/gears in the last 10 pages, nobody has leech neither in their trees, nor on their stuff :|

How many many life-leech is needed for the "Very HIGH DPS" (with BM) version ? and how do you get it ?!

thanks in advance for your answers :)

you mustn't have checked thoroughly enough, the guide clearly states the solution in the gems section :
6L Chest
Cyclone - CoCS - BM - Life Leech - EK - EK

Loving the build so far, started using the combo as soon I reached 31, never had problems with it apart from the obvious dsyncs and thorns :\

Here's my gear so far, it's the character I most invested in this game, what would you guys change/add, aside a better 6L chest? (don't have curency for it)





I use the Sapphire flask because I'm not yet capped at coldRes, but lookin into that.

Before 69 where I could start using the Demon Daggers and the , I used this 2 for leveling (I recomend buying those, almost never died, the block helps a lot)


And finally my build


Thanks DonaldF for the build :D

Yeah, I get it lol -_-

The thing is that ppl WITH the LL gem still got problem (a lot of ppl it seems actually), and the answer is : more leech !
and nobody ever mentionned what they mean by "more leech" and nobody (as far as I checked) posted gear/trees with life-leech in it :|

No, the answer is not more leech.
If you have survivability issues, use a link with cwdt-increased duration-enduring cry-immortals call. This should save you most of the times.
For reflect, pop some +eva/armor pots, and you will be fine.
