Thing is I am only level 35, so I'm not sure I really want to go and buy stuff in trade chat, I'd rather wait for later levels... I suppose I could just get normal ones from the shop, but then I wouldn't have any rares, which help with HP and regen etc...

It's okay to use blues with max life, or a blue weapon with high %damage
I still use some at level 55

Do you start out with a white with good gems, and transmute them to blue, then alternate to life, and at last augment a last stat (if necessary?). Or do you trade/wait for luck.

At 50, what I have spent is some alchs in trade for maces, and some jeweller/chromatic/fusing on good maces with poor sockets to get at least two linked reds when short of that.

Transmute/alternate seems cheap, and a few scraps/whetstones can improve quality to 20% quite cheaply on a white item.

I have struggled with getting good life items at all positions, and have a few "stinkers" at 50 with just lunaris left at cruel. Resistances and sockets mess things up a bit when it comes to "all life".

This is my current chest, found as it is. Getting a second mod on it would not hurt, but I am not going to do that after using it for 15 or so levels.

just got this weapon as i reached lv51. made finishing act3 cruel very easy indeed. sitting at 1.5k gs and 3200 HS. farming merciless ledge now :)

that weapon is incredible good, use some jewelers and fusion if you need socks(to get3-4L is easy).my weapon got same dmg and i am lvl 70^^

Hello, i would just say that this is a really great build. I have just done act3 on Merci. And i Love the fact that you can stand there in the middle of everything and just do dmg. Btw thumbs up for this build. Just have some questions about late game, would really want to get soem tips about late game farming and maps, like what to look for and stuff like that.

Really loved this one so hopping on more features in the future :D

5/5

great jobb!

what should I get next after finishing the recommended build?

Just check what stat u lack. For me is armor for now so i'm spending point on it. Maybe i go for grace + iron reflex.

Hey, ive been reading previous posts and ive seen people using blood magic gem on their heavy strike or groundslam. arent you suppose to have already gotten the blood magic passive?

Should we remove +30 all resist nodes if we have already 60+ all resists without them?

ty!

Once higher level, I think the idea is to remove the blood magic passive, and have blood magic gems on the abilities.

(Some?) auras reserve a part of the mana, and if running blood magic health is reserved instead. And that is a quite bad idea.

The build is amed at getting you into the high areas, once there you tune it as you feel best.
