The Headbang Gang 2.0 - Raging Spirits madness - now with cheap version + leveling guide

Am pretty much using a Searing Touch 6L until I can find/craft my own +3 fire staff. They are pretty much non-existent right now.

Not enough info to speculate the build future. New gems, skills, quests, crafting and auras make it inpossible to know. Heck, generosity sounds like it would be a good minion support gem and since it doesnt work on you I'll guess it'll have some sort of multiplier.

Looks like fun.

I am planing to switch to this build when we get the new skilltree.
Will a Dream Fragments work or is the missing life on it a huge deficit? The cannot be frozen part isn't relevant since I'm going to buy an Alpha's Howl.

Why you would want that though ? I'm pretty sure you can find a rare with just a bit less mana + regen, plus some life and a bit of resists, for cheaper than a DF. Sure, you could use it until you get something more appropriate, but I would absolutely not wear that by choice.

Got a spare one lying around and the 50% mana regen seem appealing in combination with the increased mana. Thanks for the reply. I am gonna try to get my hands on an more appropriate ring :)

Since I consider this build here mostly complete, at least until 1.2 when it will possibly need adjustments, I've shifted work (aka fun) elsewhere. Most recently, and not unrelated to this, I revisited my CoC Raging Spirits attempt from a few weeks ago, and it's starting to look pretty good, so I made a thread about it. Give it a read for a refreshing approach to SRS :

This build is amazing and a lot of fun. I'm at 68, already did Merc Dom...but the fun part is partying with haste and vaal haste (and maybe another quickness aura from a dominating blow minion). People love it :)

Two thoughts I've had concerning the 1.2 content:

1) Anyone else hoping we will be able to add "+x level of gems in item" mods through crafting benches? Probably not Flame Spinner's or Summoner's due to higher ilvl but a Paragon's or Reanimator's on a +2 Fire Staff would be amazing.

2) Assuming Generosity works with minions, one thing to calculate is whether it would be better to run Hatred and Haste with Generosity even though it means losing 25-30% ICS for ourselves. Like what increased aura effect would there have to be to offset that loss?

Does it make sense to link Culling Strike with Dom Blow? I don't use Leap Slam so I thought maybe CS might be better than Faster Attacks? I tried it with a few rares and it seems to work better, although still a little unreliable (maybe due to 70% chance to hit). Do you know how the two work together? Search brought up quite ambigous answers..
