Would your Guide also work with Chain?
Without Piercing Shots?

And you are just running Hatred Aura right?
What about 2 Auras?

Yes it will. Just use LMP/Chain instead of GMP/Pierce, and you have indeed to remove piercing shot, but you can keep the 3 preceding small nodes.

Personnaly I'd go for added fire damage or WeD on LA (so you'll need to reroll colors), but Increase critical damage is also very good, I've used it extensively on frenzy and the boost is nice.
Elemental Hit however is an attack, not a support, but for sure it can be useful on phys reflect maps. Unfortunatly its cost is just ridiculous.

i meant weapon elemental damage, i mix the two sometimes lol

Ok, we agree then. WeD is definitely a good choice as it boosts all elemental auras also.

Certainly :p (my phrasing was not the best, I didn't to imply that :p)

@omjak,


well , back from testing :)
i'm more happier with incr crit dmg instead of added lightning in the LA combo, but i will give WeD a chance too if i will have enough chromatics to test this.


as for 5L frenzy over 4L frenzy:

i am happier with the boost to frenzy, simply related to group play and taking out mobs at the sides or ranged mobs like archers. im faster and the totem isn't needed to be placed every mobpack

realy, i sometimes "feel" that the totem decreases for no reason if a whole group blasts towards the map, exempt high cold res mobs for sure.

frenzy remains sustained




my other test:
i run 2 auras since a while, ele resis and life regen , so 2 40% auras. simply for the fact that in most common groups one player uses hatred already

this made me think of what i could do to push out more dps. so i tried blood rage with blood dance to gain 6% life leech and chaos dmg as an additional dmg stat.

my results:
having the mitts: no chance killing ele reflects with frenzy, u blast yourself to death. but the dmg guys... across 1000 dps more... huh lovley but not sustain.

and the 5% life regain from the boots while runing blood rage is steady... but once u lose ur charges ... u should get the hell outta there :)

so it was more like a just for fun test which ended up with 3 deaths between 84 and 85... not so funny after thinking about it right now ... hmm :D
