now my question ,, my gems are quiet new ,, the Build seems very solid , but man o man the clear speeds are slow ? , does it pick up ? Like im 11k dps now

My tool tip dps is 20k... but in a party it still seems slow. This build still works, but it has been nerfed due of the nerfed aura nodes.

thanks ,, yeah i got frustrated with how slow it was , i think ill look for something new when we get the free Respec , thanks anyways :)

very good build !! is it possible to do in on a hp base char ? instead of es base

Selling really nice gear for this build in standard, if anyone's interested. Bit over 30k dps, 8.7k ES.

I'm currently doing a life\evasion based build inspired by Exaltons ES build. Only problem is you won't be able to get all the increased Aura nodes, because they're too far away from the life nodes. I'm able to faceroll normal maps up to 76 (haven't tried 77/78 yet), Did Poorjoy's Asylum, and Death and Taxes without dying. Planning on doing Atziri when I reach lvl 88, and get an extra 5% life +1% regen node.

My current specs at lvl 87:
Notable Gear: Bloodseeker, Soultaker (184dps), Belly of the Beast only 5-link atm (40% increased life, but most importantly....EXTRA GORE ;-) ), al other gear with high life, evasion, resists, and accuracy.

Aura's: Hatred. Grace, Herald of ash

DPS: 20k (Goes to around 30k with 6-link)
Life: 6.2k
Evasion 46% (92% projectile, this should help a lot in the 2nd boss fight Atziri run)
Dodge: attacks 40%, spells 30%
Block: 29%
Resists: All capped at 75%, cold at 76%

If you've got any questions, let me know.

Here's my current tree at lvl88:
http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYBsNii2VHZsJL_kxa_JpVh4lVLsbPtQaZ_tUhtbDY9napsjGKstMUV_Yo4ZK9F9G9XwuwFtdQjMHHdqEt4OkIPq1M1m7UZivsJ9toaj42_-uuS815FUUcwfI19I_ZNkqOKTGAEsZVmA4dwchut0359df66AF4Zju2DCC5_K9aKd9dW-vzFZ6CHdkp93Q1br04qtkE0k2Nw7-O-p25phNllTRRSR369gVjbU9-bg4TvdO1672BLBS0s6RUgKk0_J0rIbqq18jWS_o9N46ZXOuHyRf4K2L0=

Small update:
1. I felt that the instant lifegain from bloodseeker+skill tree (17%) was not enough to survive fast big hits from certain bosses, like the lvl76 Academy map boss. I just couldn't keep on facetanking him with all the wirlwinds taking down my healt quickly. Not a problem if you're attacking multiple trash mobs at the same time since more mobs = more leech with melee splash, but single target didn't work. So switched my ammy for a nice 6% life leech one. Lost 200 health, but gained a lot more survivability. Now sitting at 23%leech main hand, and 17% off-hand, and able to facetank The Arbiter of Knowledge no problem.
2. Did 77 maps shrine, and shipyard....no problems there.
3. Did an atziri run. Vaal, and tri weren't a problem. Did them without dying, and could pretty much keep on facetanking them whilst removing bleed, and avoiding the red stuff. Atziri was another story though. 20k dps from the 5L just felt too low, and had a hard time killing all the adds in time. Also, the 75% resistances are on the low side, you'll have to do a lot of dodging to not get one-shot, especially by the lightning. I just kept dying to her, and only got her to about 30% health. Next time: more dodging, get more dps from 6-link, ohhh, and remove enfeeble curse cwdt.....stupid me :-D
4. Temporarily switched back to my old 6-link chest, untill I have 6-linked my Belly of the Beast.

Current Gear:


If you've got any questions, or suggestions on how to improve the build, let me know.

Anyone trying on Bloodlines lol?

They really separated Unwavering stance and Aura nodes! 6 more points and at high lvl... that will take ages!

Did anyone tried to figure out if this build going to work with the new skill tree?

It's pretty much the same except it will take a lot longer to get Unwavering stance...

But with the loss of body and soul wheel, you prob could go for the void barrier wheel.

You can also go through the Juggernaught wheel for some additional armour to get to the Unwavering stance node.. but that will be in the late 90's lol.

Leveling will be a little harder with 30% less block chance added to Acrobatics..

This is what I came up with..



I wouldn't really try Atziri with this build.
