Would it be better to get frenzy charge or endurance charge for the merciless bandit reward? I feel like the frenzy might contribute to a lot of DPS but then again, you can't really generate them at will against a boss with no adds...

No to Frenzy charges, too situational, even so, isn't the dps enough? I mean, if you reaaally want more dps you could always drop block nodes and put them into dps nodes,don't think it'll make the build better to be more squishy.

@reaper2191

Meginord's girdle is the best in slot for us period, Headhunter would be too much of a gimmick, I don't like gimmicks :p. But hey, if you want to test it out, go ahead and report results :p

At 82, Im sitting around about 45k pre-fortify, missing a quite a bit of nodes, but that comes with leveling. I do find it a bit rough that you need to be directly on top of monsters to kill them. Now, in saying that, I have gotten up to around 85k using Headhunters after killing around 3-4 rares close by. I dont have a Megs, so it will have to do until I get one. The FB I am using is a legacy at around 852%. I am not sure if I divine it if it will revert it to the new ones and drop the 800-1k% possibility. Its a good build and it does damage.

My current gear:

I've been trying this build on Warbands and it seems solid. Do you think its worth to drop a lot of currency into a perfect (800%) non-legacy roll vs a 770 roll? I guess what I'm asking is does the build only function well with a legacy facebreaker?

DONT DIVINE!... it'll convert to the new range..

@Attorneyatlawl

Probably not worth it, 30% won't make much difference. And it works just fine, I actually hit 100k dps with frenzy charges with a pair of 774% ones.

Hey man, I was wondering is my gear good as an end game gear? If not what should I change?
and also Im currently level 81 with 4k HP and 9.2k Armor, at what level do you think I can do atziri?
My DPS without any charges or flasks is at 53k
With Blood rage + 3 frenzy charges: 61k
With blood rage + 3 frenzy charges + amethyst flask: 75k

My current gear

Remember I did Atziri the first time with about 30k dps, so you're more than ready, Atziri is all about dodging bad stuff anyway (do carry a fire resist flask for Atziri herself though).

Your gear is fine, and I think your dps is about right for 5-link, would be higher with capped jewelry and lv20 gems.

Your CWDT level is a bit too high btw.

Hey thanks for the reply man,
I never really read CWDT so yeah thanks for the heads up just bought a new one :p
Cheers

What shield do you recommend when using the armor build?

hey i saw this under Current Stats & Gear.

"One thing you should do to avoid auto-equip is get an amulet with alot of intellect and equip a high req int weapon on both your sets then take off the amulet, the weapons will stay inactive in your weapons slot and will allow you to level gems on them."


there is just an auto equip option in the UI settings that you can turn off.


what do i do for auras if im in a new league? currently i have hatred + herald of ash. this only reserves 75% of my mana, so i took off blood magic on blood rage and the cries. is there some better option? i'm using your lv100 Armor tree (2 Aura no Aura nodes) but i cannot use both Determination + hatred.

heres my current gear, will be improved (im lvl 45), but not sure how i can improve my gems/links with 0 possibility of enlighten. i might replace blind with flame dash, shield charge seems to work for this though. maybe enduring cry for a golem when i get a proper resists/armor, but im not sure what else i could do.




REALLY enjoying the build so far ty =D




another important question.

http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Bronn%27s_Lithe

bronns lithe,

Added a new Mod for 35-50% Increased Damage with Movement Skills in 2.0.

cyclone is a movement skill. it can gain +2 gem level, 10% attack speed, and 50% increased damage!! is this better than carcass jack? or is there some weird math where it doesn't add very much?

@goldnugget

The auto-equip thingy is a preference thing, you get 3 extra slots to level gems and dont have to turn it on and off whenever you decide to race.

I'm not sure why you can't use both Determination and Hatred, each reserves 50% mana, or do you mean you don't have enough mana to cast Blood Rage? because I don't either I linked it to Blood Magic. If not you could always try to use the mana reserve jewel..

About Bronn's... It might be a good alternative, but I think the AOE range for us is too mandatory.


@Sambal

Good resists, high life, Decent Armor, and room to put the physical damage mod from Haku.
