Nice build,im lvl 20 and works very well but i have some ideas in my mind...if i pick pheonix shiel + vitality+pof and ~5 points to mana nodes worth it for RF ? What do u think ?my 3rd aura would be determination and also looking to link MS with gmp -aoe-blind

Will you be using MS for damage or utility with this setup?

So it is still worth using three dragons without picking the shock passive up top right?

If i can take RF as main skill MS is for crowd control blinding/life leech

No. It's impossible to shock without it (unless you run a crit build).

@daubine: Honestly I have never played RF so I wouldn't be one to ask about it. The theory makes sense but I think another ability like Ice Nova would be much better, and something like Flame Totem w/ Blind. This way you don't need RT, and you can take Elemental Equilibrium which will give you a huge damage increase.

Added skill progression to the 2 week race build.

Hi, I'm last minute considering to run your build in the 2 week race which starts in an hour.
You said that MS is very important for the damage of this build, how are you planning to substitute for it in the start of the race when there is no MS avaiable?

Nice guide, really made me want to play it ^^

Faster Attacks probably...maybe Added Fire if I have mana issues. It's mostly just the attack speed really gives you a huge AOE boost. Also play positionally. Don't get surrounded, keep the group focused in front of you so you can focus the projectiles.

Edit: Added Fire early on, and switching to Faster Attacks after I get it (lv31). I will have to try them both before I decide which I want. But definitely one of those!

Thanks a lot =)

Dmillz thanks for publicizing your cool builds!

Curious why you are opting for this over the community build for 2-week race.

I think I am going to use one or the other for the race, but I am concerned about not being able to acquire the uniques.

I don't really know the econ, and frankly hate the inefficient and tedious trading system of PoE, but I suspect that even if these are known to be "cheap" uniques, they are going to be valuable during this race due to popularity of these MS builds.

Will this build still be "invasion easy", to at least lvl 50 if I just have rares (and basically self-found, at that)?

Thanks for any info!

The Uniques are not required in any way. I didn't use any until level 60+, they are just good to have if you can grab them. I prefer this because 1h + shield is a ton of damage with Molten Strike and provides more defence. 2H is honestly overkill with Molten Strike (although I would use it early to level up faster).

You should be able to get there easily with this. As far as melee builds go this is probably one of the strongest without needing items.
