Hi,
Thank you very much for the build. I've been enjoying this build since rampage and am excited about the changes that were made with the new tree.
I was able to do atziri runs with the old tree before the 1.3 update (level 92), so the build is atziri viable in my opinion. You need a bit of skill to do them deathless though. :P


About the new update, I am really torn apart between the two builds. I loved the quick and fun build, but I have to admit, I died quite a bit with the low survivability.


Just have one questions about the Deathless build tree though.

I noticed you picked the Warrior's blood node.
With Vaal Pact, wouldn't life regeneration be useless? If that node was picked for strength, wouldn't it be better to take the +30 strength node near twin terror/think skin instead?


On a side note, I am currently doing the new build (high survivability one) on Torment, and noticing the mana and intelligence issues from the beginning. Mana is a big problem without the mana drinker node, and it seems it will take a while until I can take a mana node. But this might be because I am not using clarity right now. And the lack of intelligence is prominent with the attribute requirement for the claws.

Other than that, it's been going great.

Thank you for the really fun build :)

p.s. would you be able to make a build that's average version of the two builds?

Hi,

I'm quite noob in path of exile and I start a new shadow torment following this build.

I'm facing the same issue than excel4538. I'm following the high survivability too.

I'm actually lvl29 and facing an intel problem for claws. I have lvl26 claws, it needs 56 int but I only have 44 right now.

So what to do ? I see I can take trickery for a while (it gives 20intel) and respect after ... but later claws will need more intel, and in the build there is no intel nodes right now.
Or I try to find and armor piece with int ?

I have no mana problem right now : I'm using clarity, but try melee splash + dual strike, it's very short in mana, but in 2 lvl I will get soul raker, It will resolve this problem.

Thanks for the build, it's fun to play.

Waiting for a good solution for the int :)

Hi !

thanks ninedeadeyes for your responses and all your last updates, especially in your leveling part.

And thumps up to your guide despite what Malamojapruskisatelitu says.

I'm new to this game and it's always good to have this kind of posts to help us, even if it's 'common'.

I realised that they have taken away the 5% of hp from that node but didn't have time to update my build forum. It has been updated with the latest passive tree now.

generally with this build I think even with the original you'll have to do some respec.. I was away this weekend without internet, probably will update it tonight. but from trying out the new 'deathless' build its actually not too bad.. Its still pretty fun to play with 8 aps and 45k dps. I will probably update this build more tonight :)


ps : like my previous build , early on i grab mana leech ( mind drinker node then respec out later on. There are some early mana nodes if it is still an issue. When I was leveling I did have to use
a low level clarity as well.

pss: Updated much of my build forum. Hopefully stuff should make sense more now, enjoy :)

I have also created a bit of a hybrid build for you too name 'The Claw master' :)

Hi,
thank you so much for your reply! And that's awesome ! I will do all three variations and see which one I like the most :). I just love claws and honestly I've seen only one other claw build and that was about it.
I think this is a really great guide for beginners as well. This guide helped me when I was just a newbie and it still helps me ! Thank you again for your great work. I will look forward to further updates !

Hello ninedeadeyes,

First, great build. One of my characters is built around it. However, because I have a bloodseeker I was not using vaal pact on my character. Now, I certainly could drop it and grab a higher pDPS claw, but I was wondering if you had any thoughts in regards to a balanced tree for a dual claw build that was n't going for vaal pact. For reference, my equipment was similar to xroni001's that you have linked in your OP. My tree was also similar. Would you simply avoid the Vaal node, or would you change the tree more than that? Also what are your (or anyone else's) thoughts on bloodseeker vs vaal pact in general?

Thanks in Advance.
