Why does this build say to use a 20th level grace gem if it only has 70 something dex?
Try Elemental Bowman. Well. Try any other build. They tend to require ~150 off-class stats, while providing 0 off-class stats from passive tree

So you're supposed to get it from items and stuff? Sorry, I'm a noob.
Exactly!
Sorry, If I seemed to be rude.

I found it easier to just put some points into dex/int nodes. Expecially the big (+30) ones. Then you don't restrict yourself to must have all stat points on gear. It's easier and more convenient when gearing up.

You can always get back these skill points later endgame when you have better gear. I think this should be mentioned in the guide. No new player will be able to get 140 dex for grace gem only from gear.

Another thing i feel like mentioning is the support gems. The author mentions 4 support gems for each of the 3 main attack skills but you can only have 4 support gems on 2 of the main attacks (Weapon and Torso) so you have to give up 1 support gem for one of the attacks.

Also a newbie will not have access to 2 5-link items anytime soon so a newbie will have to do with 4-link items.

A mention of which support gem to give up could perhaps be included as well?

I think fire physical damage gem is worse than faster attacks. At least for ground slam. But this is no easy choice to make.

Hope i was of help. Consider this constructive criticism of the guide. And thanks for this guide. I used it when i started playing and it works great.

I think I was understand wrongly.
I didn't mean to have 3x 5/6L, which isn't even possible.
I didn't even mean to have 2x 5/6L

What I meant, was haveing one 5L, and swiching attack skills as needed - i.e. leap slam instead groundslam against Vaal

How hard is it to respec in this game? I know you get some respect points each playthrough, but other than that how hard is it to get respec points?

I'm level 60 right now and don't even have enough dex to level the grace gem once.

May i ask something?

Is this build really "viable" end-game (like running lvl70 maps)? Because most people drop the Blood Magic skill and run 35 Auras...

Also where do you go beyond 96 points?

Thanks! :)
Check 'improvments' section. There is sth about dropping BM
