First time take Oak's +40 life (i did not do this since i was unsure at the time if i will go CI or life, that was a mistake)

You recommend taking it? I'm near that decision and i doubt if the 40 hp is rly worth it.

it is.

40 hp seems weak on it's own, yes. But consider this, with every hp node you pick up, this 40 hp increase.

Do you guys really use conductivity? I use enfeeble at the moment and I don't think I can change that in the near future.

I glanced over most of this thread and I'm really looking to try this out.
My only question is, would I be able to run this with dual claws? Though I like to be difficult I just think it would be something different and fun to try out.
I'm pretty new to the game so go easy on me :P

No. Claws are good for leeching damage, physical damage that is, this build uses elemental damage only, so i strongly recommend you NOT use claws.

This build works best with cleave (axes or swords) but it can work with any other weapon and skill if you dont like cleave, you can use grounslam with it, sweep, LS and you will do good, but not as good as with cleave. (LS or GS is safer than cleave, i sometimes use it in really hard maps where monsters do massive damage so i can stay at a distance and not risk getting hit)

Appreciate it :) I'll shoot for axes then.

Very nice guide !

I have just one question. Iron reflexes is really that much useful ? Because it uses a lot of point just to pick it ...

Put it this way, when I grabbed iron reflexes finally I got a 2500 armor increase :p

The advantages of taking iron reflex the way i did is that you can use all gear except pure ES gear this way, that makes it one of the most flexible builds defensive wise that have been made, since you can use any type of hybrid any type of armor except for pure es because it doesnt provide enough defenses.

This way you can mix up any gear you have (i am using even pure es gloves btw even though they wouldnt be as good as a hybrid)

The other advantages are pretty obvious lots of Dex nodes to get there, lots of life nodes which are VERY important, the elemental damage nodes, this build takes all of the elemental damage ndoes making it one of the most powerful damage wise builds because you take ALL of the common elemental damage nodes, so theres no reason to go for any specific elements on gear. And of course the chaos resistance nodes which is also very useful, and lastly the gigantic mana increase from Mana flows.

I hope this clarifies the reason for which i took this path.

I was looking through and was going to try this build out.

And I was wondering, why don't you level cleave? Is it to do with mana cost?
