Blade Flurry potentially needs 70 Int (pretending I can corrupt a level 21), which the non-uber tree will get to eventually. But Increased Area of Effect goes up to 111 Int, and the tree gives 86.

Use different gems, it's not a big deal. Molten Strike with current support recommendations is good, as is lightning strike (even better range than blade flurry), earthquake or ice crash.

I wonder if spectral shield throw will be a viable attack in 3.2.

Well the video looks very cool. It should definitely have some flavor of the month appeal.

Will this be updated for the new League? Thank you!

It's also a matter of the skill being one I enjoy using (or at least am accustomed to).
But a Carnage heart dropped for me. Almost the worst rolls possible, but it will get me by.

The new Inquisitor ascendancy is up. Any thoughts? (And that vs. the Gladiator?)

Inquisitor appears unchanged except for a small buff to Sanctify.

Gladiator is still a good choice for the duelist crowd, nothing major to note either. They made gratuitous violence harder to reach, presumably to make people choose between block or damage.

Great! Really enjoying this build on hardcore. I like the new spectral throw shield, can we play with it? is it good for single target? thank u!

I will examine the new skill when it comes out, should work great.

How do you activate the 50% dmg bonus from instruments of virtue? It doesn't procc from cwdt and I assume it doesn't procc from blade flurry channeling either.

Instruments of Virtue is mostly for the 20% attack speed.

If you want to self cast something, like Tempest Shield, you can, but it's not lazy.

Personally, the only thing I'm willing to cast other than my attack skill and Shield Charge is an Ancestral Warchief (with Culling Strike), but that wouldn't count, either.
