Enough with the RIP chatter, this is a build discussion thread. Did anyone get a chance to critique my build for the changes I made to OP's?

What do you guys think of this modified build I made using the same basic structure and same number of points as OP?

OP's build uses 8 points to get Diamond Skin and Iron Reflexes. I figured that out of 8 points, only 2 nodes were basically of major use to the build. Basically I can sum up the results of both builds:

OP's build using his 8 nodes:
-60 Dexterity
-15% all resistances
-All evasion rating turns into armor

My version that takes out those stats mentioned for another 8 nodes instead:
-43% armor
-2% attack speed
-18% all resistances
-0.8% of life regenerated per second

There are pros and cons to each variation. The pros of more dexterity means higher skill gems he uses that are dex based (such as increased attack speed). Also, obviously, the evasion rating turning into armor can be a big boost to armor if you have the right stats on your gear. However, could 43% armor be more beneficial? 18% to resistances is only a 3% increase so it's not much but it's better than 15% nonetheless. 2% increased attack speed is practically meaningless but maybe it could make up for SOME of the difference that the dex would benefit the increased attack speed gem. The 0.8% increased life regenerated per second seems pretty cool to me as that translates to a good amount later on. Another pro of this modification to the build is that the nodes I chose are already next to the main path everyone would choose on the tree who follows OP. This means quicker rewards for choosing my alternative instead of waiting a few level ups.

Tell me what you guys think! Thanks :)

Why do you have Vaal Pact?

Do you have an answer?

GGG will *never* rollback anything like this.

I believe it is no longer immediate, it is treated as a timeout, so now the fastest way is to actually logout via Esc.

Could you guys adapt Rhox's Build for Softcore?

Seriously how the fuck did you manage to get 2nd place on HC ladder without having a beta account?

Any reason we need to resort to profanity to express ourselves on here?

It's read by a lot of children, including mine, so please refrain from swearing if you don't mind. Thanks in advance.
