Great build! I'm doing a HC char for this right now.

How much life u would have without KH?

I can't afford KH and if i can get 5/6 link chest what gems you would link them?

Also getting the same 1 hander like yrs isn't possible either... would you should go for lower dps with 2.0+ attack speed? or it is ok with a higher dps lower attack speed weapon?

Thanks!

Without Kaoms I have ~6500 life.

Depends on your DPS, you need to cover 20% (24 with 20Q LL gem) of maximum life leech/sec if possible, that's very important.

Lets say you have 6000 life, you can leech 1200 (1440) life/sec.

If you have 12k DPS, you can settle with 10% life leech (2 is from the tree), so 8 more, get 4+ on amulet and the rest on rings, of course, you don't have to do it, but it's highly recommendable.

In 5L I'd put: Reave + CE + MS + MPD + FA

In 6L I'd put: Reave + CE + MS + MPD + FA + LL or AFD

(in that order)

The more DPS you have, the more efficient your leech on gear is.


APS on a weapon isn't important, it only leads you to a higher mana cost per second, so in fact, go for a lower APS weapon if the DPS is ~same.

Have you tried Atziri?

Its liek a build i was looking 4 for so long time !
But i have 2 questions:

I just dropped 20g infernal blow, will it be still good build with IB instead of reave?
And second, how about mana? You have a big problems? How many aura i will be able to run at once?

BTW, coud You repair tree broken after patch?

Great job anyway, cheers !

Nope, haven't played on Standard since the SoTV expansion.
I've sold my rings which are "one of a kind" but still worth just 1-2 ex, would have to find the replacements if that's even possible (wasn't back then).
My amulet, Rime Gaze and my sword are sold as well.

But I could definitely do it.

Infernal Blow is excellent for solo play, however, it's DPS is very low in parties, at least from my experience.
That's why I've chosen Reave, it's simply the most suited skill for this build.

Nope, mana is fine, since I have 1k+ total mana. The only trouble I have is in 50% less regen maps, then I used to pull out MS or MPS support and it's all fine then.
No regen is easier because the mana leech is still working good.
Depends, in tree like this (no aura nodes), you can do only 2x60% auras at max.

I'll try to update the tree as soon as I'm able.

Thanks, enjoy!

tbh with your build you could facetank 100-0 all 6 bosses in normal atziri...

and with your playing skills doing uber atziri would just be a matter of practice nothing to do with the build.
