On the left is what the guide says.
On the right is what I thought of.

Basically why don't you just go through amplify?
Costs a little more total but your killing power also increase. You do lose the int nodes which might interrupt your ability to level Wrath but could you make up for this somewhere else? I am currently using an int neck on my lvl 56 to be able to level Wrath.

how does amplify help in a solo game?

wrath: Casts an aura that adds lightning damage to the attacks of you and your allies.

amplify skill node increases the radius of the aura and the area dmg.
but there isnt area dmg with wrath and anger. it just adds dmg to your attack, like a +lightning/+fire modifier.
monsters inside the circle dont automatically take dmg if you dont do anything.

thats how i read it

Because it increases the area of effect and damage of Lightning Arrow.

I really liked the build but i can't understand some stuff (excuse me if i sound stupid) ... where am i suppose to get the acurracy rating and damage from? i can see there are increase in elemental damage but does the phys damage goes into projectiles aswell without iron grip? i'm just missing the answer to that to actually understand the build , thanks.

we dont care about accuracy rating. Resolute Tech = no monster evasion

increased dmg comes from +ele dmg nodes. we dont care about phy dmg. there's only one +phy dmg modifier on gear. we get 3x more +ele dmg modifiers on gear (+fire/cold/lightning).

which would u rather have?
+phy dmg node that affects 1 modifier (+phy dmg) or +ele dmg node that affects 3 modifiers (fire/cold/lightning)

hey venator, you might want to add this explanation on your 1st page.
a few people have asked this question (including myself) over the last few pages.

He is absolutely raping me on merciless (lvl 64 atm). Had no problems on Cruel.

Half the time he one-shots decoy totem, the other times he leaps to totem, leaps to me, then leaps back to totem, killing the totem. Can't keep a totem alive long enough to do any significant damage, and I have a 2k+ buffed dps elemental hit. There's no face-tanking him on merciless, at least not in my gear. Frustrated, tried about 5 different ways to do it, guess I just skip it until I overlevel him by about 10 levels. Or get a perma-stun groundslammer to help me. *sigh*
