[1.2] THE KNOCKBACK REAVER (CASCADING REAVE STACKS WITH KNOCKBACK)

Cool stuff! Remind me to ask your opinion on Lightning Coil for both pvp and pve. The -60% light res is a huge pain.

This is really cool.

I think I might make one of these after I feel content with my latest flicker re-build.

thanks for the positive feedback!

Lightning coil, imho, can only be a temporary solution.
In PvE, it's manageable. But in pvp, if you meet someone with lightning penetration, you are royally screwed. Additionally, the pve maps now have shock patches, which force upon you the shock status. It's just too dangerous, especially against level 77+ dominus.

Hi.

Do you have an step by step Skill tree 4 me ?

0-20/20-40/40-60/... something like that, it would help me a litte bit.

Or can you tell me which skills i have to take after and after, please.

You might have to wait a while for that, since the leveling build would look very different from the final build - the constant knockback and easy ES regen are a huge part of the defense here, but a leveling build wouldn't have either of those.

You'd also have to use an alternative tree for a Dagger build if you focus on PvE, but that's comparatively easy - the dagger nodes are so far away that you can focus on life early on, and then spec from life into (more) ES and Dagger nodes when you've reached the CI node. Might be doable with less then 20 respec points.

I will not provide a level by level baby-sitting tutorial. That not only takes away the fun of the game in its entirety, but also undermines your individual creativity. Think for yourself. Everyone's gearset is different. There is no fixed route to follow. My guide was to give you one possibility and overall rationale of major underlying mechanisms. And, this is a tactical build, definitely not beginner-friendly.

What does Shocked Ground have to do with Lightning Coil? It'd be no different than any other build/item standing on Shocked Ground.


Very interesting build, looks really fun, and dare I say, op. Really defensive with the Knockback. I know they originally nerfed Sweep because of how overpowered the Knockback mechanic on it was..

it's OP in pve, and to some extent in pvp. however, against max block, the knockback just isn't consistent enough (i have 55% block reduction, 10+ APS, 91% chance to hit).
If you're enfeebled and you don't have a warding, it's game-over.
