Any opinions on using

Spoiler

for this build over maligaros?

I don't know about everyone else but the mana cost increase would kill me.

I'm currently running this build with 3 auras (clarity, purity of elements and haste) and 3 spells(FB, IS &AB) so long as I take it slow with elemental reflect mobs, I have no problems with this setup.

I've been able to solo every map up to 71 without issues, obviously I avoid elemental reflect explicits.
I'm now working on everything 72+

I'm currently focusing on getting health for obvious reasons, I'm still too squishy for my preferences but I clear through everything real fast.

Current Equipment (3.2k HP, 350 ES, 73% MH crit, 6% life steal 4 LOH & 75/75/75)


Passive Tree

Goal

Since I use two ice spells (AB and IS) I've been thinking of getting freeze for the additional 5% chance to freeze for defensive reasons and the spell damage is always a bonus.

Overall I find this build to be rather enjoyable.

If you do get back into playing this character, do you think you could upload some videos playing against some of the harder bosses?
I'm talking about these:

Lvl 70 - Villa
Lvl 71 - Temple
Lvl 72 - Jungle Valley
Lvl 72 - Labyrinth
Lvl 72 - Torture Chamber
Lvl 74 - Residence
Lvl 76 - Creamatorium
Lvl 76 - Academy
Lvl 77 - Shipyard
Lvl 77 - Shrine
Lvl 78 - Courtyard
Lvl 78 - Palace

yeah right lol, as if that is gonna happen

ask him to post /deaths, and tell you which maps and mods he skips ... or no which ones he can do, as that would be a shorter list

I can say for a fact i can do all the above map and boss no problem. only mod i dont do is elemental reflect. death count i would say maybe once out of 20 maps i run.

i tried Apex when i first hit lvl 91 i got her down to 70% but first time trying die too many times at the 3 guradians. only had one set didnt want to spend any ex, will attemp her again when i hit 92. i am pretty sure i can kill her the question is how many times i need to try before i get down the pattern to kill her.

This build is crazy, especially when using a 5L. I love it !!!

I'm running an IR variant of this build, like this:




I'm on Act 3 merciless farming a lot in Docks now ^^


--------

Question:

I want to run CI soon (about level 75). Any idea how would the passive tree using this build, but with CI ?


Thanks :D

Bump :P

I totally agree that you can do all of these maps. In fact you often dont even notice there was a boss as you just come into a room and unleash hell and suddenly there is loads of loot on the ground.
Ele reflect is indeed a problem - it can be done but it takes loooong time (u need to kite them around) so its easier to skip that and in the meantime run 3 other maps instead.
More problems are incoming if you play in party, in which case corrupting blood gets annoying (you cant insta kill it and drink bleeding removal afterwards) and lightining thorns are real pain in the ass. But again, it is doneable.
If you are looking for a build which can do anything, try something boring like marauder with 1h weapon and shield and world's most lame skill - Cyclone. U can faceroll anything with that...

As for Apex I tried it and failed there but I am only 83 and my gear is not much good, besides I went there in party making it harder for me (its really weird how the game gets so much tougher in parties :-D). So I cant really say whether its possible but I think it could work.

EDIT: One minor addition. You cannot do maps with Dominus if u roll "4 additional projectiles" suffix. THAT is just troll suffix :-D He can effectively outspam your build (and believe me, you spam a lot) literally covering whole room in lightining :-D But I doubt some build can survive that (I also has ele weakness in that map :-D)

The Question above is interessting. Do you think its possible to build this char ci easy?

I Think to reach the high ES needed there would be many notes of ES needed and also high ES gear what can be a problem because this build dual-wields so you loose about >400 ES from Shield wich means >1000ES with all multipliers.

what about using this 6L combo to improve defense: ST - LMP - COC - FB - AB - Life Leech ???

well i try life leech, i was able to kill dominus face to face without moving with whirling blades, but i miss the extra damage...

i try it again with 3 spells and its better without life leech :) much better, the only thing i do different in this build is that i use vaal skeleton and cwdt+endurincry in one of my daggers, that gives me 20 seconds (without quality gem) to hit bosses.
