Hey nice guide very well explained tho I'm still a bit noob with theory crafting and I have a little question.

Bandit cruel reward, wouldnt 12% physical damage woulb be better than 1 skillpoint with that build ?

Thank you,

No. because this build uses elemental damage, not physical

Thank you, wanted confirmation , I thought that with aura like hatred that convert some physical to magical it was like better to take that %phy reward instead of skillpoint but now I'll go for the skillpoint :)


Another question, is eldritch battery possible with that build ? or do you use energy shield as a part of your "main" defence ?

ps : sorry for bad english, its not my main language

I dont really use energy shield at the moment, but you do have a decent increase with it if you want to go armor/ES or evasion/ES hybrid gear. You can use any defensive gear with this build except for pure energy shield, because that doesn't provide any armor so its not useful.

Hi there, Level 58 atm , just hit act 3 merciless and i can tell its a bit of a pain now , so going back to fellfarm.

Up until now tho everything has been a breeze, two shotting everything. Once you get your 4 link your basicly set aslong as you have weapons with decent elem dmg.


If share my experience in how it was leveling and the thoughts i had.

The only gear i had pre starting this, was some crappy elem sword and axe wich i could use around lvl 31. Rest i found as i leveled (blues and rares).

Up until level 31 (wich was where i had some crappy gear laying to start cleavin) i just used sweep, pretty standard and easy.
When i was going to start using axes and swords i noticed atleast at that level i had dex issues, so if your doing like me and find yourself in the same spot with dex issues, i would suggest into placing temporary points in the precision node near the start and in the agility node near elemental adaptation , thats 50 dex you can use a few orbs or respec points on later, since you get pretty decent with dex going for iron reflexes. And ofc use dex jewlery aswell.

At first when you start cleaving i noticed to that it seemed like i had to chug mana pots, sometimes even with mana leach, but that problem just rectified it self , probobly due to mana pool growing and some mana regen here and there, so now i am running 2x life pots , one instant, 2x granite and one chaos resistance.

Now at level 58 i am pretty close to the iron reflex node 10-15 ish levels, but i got to drop by some health nodes first since im only at 2k life , and i kinda feel thats low atm xD I also did invest into inner force and got the resistance nodes there, all the resistance nodes you can get in this build REALLY helps you out in how you can itemize this build if your just leveling up and want to find gear yourself.


Anyways, thanks for the build and i loved trying it out =)

Edit: Loving playing it*

Didn't read the whole thread, but just at quick glance you can drop the terrible .4% regen nodes in the middle to pick up inner force and an extra 8% (lose 4% total) health node elsewhere.

This build has low regen, i picked up the .4% for a reason, nowhere else to get that much regen in so few points, it has a total of 2.2%/s from passives. And inner force will be taken later on anyway.

Ah, you didn't have inner force in the 111 point build i clicked on, but got you on that.

yepm the current passive tree on the site isnt updated, you get 120 skill points in the game, 118 with this build.

Great build so far, just hit 58 and am farming The Docks on Merciless. Just found this crazy ass ammy too.

No resistances on it, but I make up for them with my other items since this just adds so much extra dmg.

I'm level 48 and I have only 600 armor....lol? Is my gearing just bad or did I miss some nodes?

edit: i just got IR and now I have 1200 armor but that still seems low

I was the same way. I was using both anger and wrath with no enough mana for anything else. I dropped Wrath for my high lvl Grace and it works a lot better... for now.

use grace aura, and get armor or evasion gear on for more armor.

And im on around 6k armor on my level, past 6k armor is useless no matter how much you have past that point the hits will be too big to get reduced by a proper amount so theres no reason to get more of it.

You need to use your endurance charges and granite flask for the really hard hitting mobs.
