Zeno's Bino's Kitchen Knife Crit ST/Reave build. 1.1.4.

Only level 48 currently but I was wondering for Elemental Equilibrium maps, should Hatred be swapped for Haste?
Thank you.

It's an option. I don't swap because i don't really feel like i'm doing a TON less damage.

It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.

If reflect is killing you while you are using ST you might not be doing enough damage to cap your life leech.

With the 1.1 changes to leech, ST needs a lot more life leech to help you deal with reflect.

I used high level/quality blood rage which gave a ton of leech. It helped immensely.

The other option is to go evasion based. It makes reflect pretty much a joke. Your gear is good enough for it even if you don't replace the pieces with no evasion on them.

I'm at 47% evasion with my currently listed gear+grace. Armor boots, armor/es shield and low evasion chest.

I have %7 LL from gear 6-ammy 1-belt
So you think I need more? If its 1 mob or a pack I am fine its just maps with the ref 18% phys that kill me when ST returns. If I am in a party with someone running allot of ele auras like ele buzzsaw then Ele ref map 18% does the same thing.

I have a lvl 18 BR that I was messing around with but when i turn on my life goes down fast.
Do you think more chaos res would help this because mine is real low -48.

I was going to try this after I learned how to play A ST toon Whirling blades loves to dSync me loads and I spent all my currency on gear and regrets for this guy. I am still some what new to this game so not rich.
Also thx for the help this build is fun to play wh

Just made the switch to Ondars Guile and Acrobatics today. Going to be testing it throughout the day. My chance to evade with Grace is 52% currently, however, I dont deal near the damage you do. My amulet is a major weak point I suspect. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.



Current HP:3820
Base DPS:18633.7
With Hatred:23935.5
With Hatred and 3 Frenzy from Blood Rage:26094.4


Tried taking the 5% reduced mana reserved node and still OOM when there is only 1 mob around and cant reliably reave. Have 2% mana leech currently. So since I rune grace primarily and no Hatred my DPS is usually 20314.4.

Zeno, have you tried working power charges into this build? It seems like an obvious idea to take the nearest power charge node and swap in a PCoC gem for a rolling +200% crit chance. Haven't tried it myself, so maybe I'm missing a downside.

For me personally it takes too much time/effort to gain the charges. I kill most things instantly. I'll make some videos showing how fast i clear with power charges later.

You could try getting a 20q conc effect. It reduces mana cost. You should also try to get some more INT/mana/mana leech on gear. It will help you sustain reave vs single targets.


Could you explain why you would use Rat's Nest instead of Abysuss? The DPS difference for reave is around 20k lower when Rat's nest is equipped.

My take on this is that rats nest adds to survivability. Abyssus may be a huge DPS increase which is probably fine in parties where you kick it towards the back and just spectral throw but when your solo or leading the pack rats nest means you take less physical damage and can move quicker. Not only that but if your doing the evasion based setup the armor on the abyssus is kinda a waste when you could have all that evasion from rats nest.

Zeno?
