Mostly for determination ( cost 153 str at level 20 )
The real point is those two str nodes could be used elsewhere in tree for anything you want / need that could be harder to obtain on an item instead of +STR who can be obtainable really easily with masters crafting in a free item slot.

Second interest in removing karui ward is you can then get an amulet with a decent spell damage + cast speed + life + res for example instead of lock the amulet slot to benefit of +35 str and an additional projectile speed only ( move speed isn't really useful since i use lightning warp this way i can sustain easier the mana cost for artic armor ).

Ofc it's achievable only if we choose to get the cold life leech on doryani's invitation belt instead of karui ward :)

Just want to update on how it's going. I am currently level 56 and continued to level with FP from as soon as I could get it. I still have not picked up EB yet and I am continuing to level up all my gems except for AA (Arctic Armor) I left it at level 7 atm because I don't think my current mana regen is going to handle level 8 atm.

Current_Gear

Everything is self found with the exclusion of Lifesprig and Karui Ward. I should probably chrom that Lifesprig and put ice spear in it or something.

Hi there.

I am currently running this build, and I love it. Damage is really good (am only act II Cruel). I have a couple of questions if people wouldn't mind answering?

Why don't we use spell echo? Am I missing something? It seems a good damage boost and wouldn't it give you twice as many opportunities to Crit?

And also how are you getting 20k Armour? Is it with flasks?

Finally, does the determination give you % increase the energy shield on hybrid gear?

Many thanks for any feedback, it owuld be greatly appreciated!

Level 43 and still breezing along. I never seen the problems while leveling with FP. I had a Goldrim and Lochtonial Caress from drops and picked up a Lifesprig, I'm sure those 3 unique items helped.

Thanks for the explanation on the gems. I was curious cause I seen the gems in your armor linked some of them was lower like level. I'm not sure if you have not updated them or what.

i want to start my first character in Beyond! i like your build but i have some questions!
Do you think its newby friendly? is it viable for me to play beyond this build being my first char? Is it very expensive for this build to shine? is it more of a safe tank build or dps focus? thanks a lot for the help!!!
