How do you handle the summoner exile? I meet her really frequently and her Minion Instability wrecks me everytime... ;-(

I handle her VERY CAREFULLY. She is one of the worst Exiles I (and probably a lot of other melee characters) have to deal with. If you can't kill her really fast, sometimes it's better to just run.

"

Another problem was the Groundslammer (before QotF), every hit caused me to use a flask that I'm quickly out of charges and have to refill but his Lifereg is absolutely insane, so I can't kill him.
Don't know if he is now fightable (gladly didn't meet him again).

He can be tough depending on map mods, but he doesn't usually bother me. I just pop Atziri's Promise and have at him. You could also use a Jade Flask and Vaal Haste.

High level Voidbearers with extra projectiles/cast speed in tight spaces and that rogue summoner exile are probably my biggest worries with this build.

Hey,

How do you manage to 34.4 K evasion rating with this gear and this tree pls ? Is it with jade flask on ?

To do the math, I see you approximatively have 6.4k evasion rating, and a 264 % evasion multiplier (tree) : 6400*(1+2.64) = 24k.
I'm doing wrong ?

Thx for your answer.

Hi! That evasion rating is from gear and tree with Grace active (don't forget about the two levels Grace gets from Alpha's Howl). I do have a lvl 21 Grace, but the extra evasion from that is very small. You can pump it much higher with a Jade Flask.

Hey, im back, been busy.

I'm finally able to run HoT in addition to Grace, Wrath, HoI.

Tree:


My DPS now is 23.7k w/o flasks.
Life: 3.7
Level 84
I am freezing mobs more often now.



Got a question, what stat is the most beneficial to this build, DPS wise?

Got these rings:


And I dunno which to use, which (if any) is worthy of Multi-mod. And what mod to get from elreon.

Edit:
And yeah, mana is okay. Got 50 unreserved. Cleave is 17 mana, Leap Slam is 9.

Hey, lookin' good, Manic. How's the Doryani's belt working out for you? Is the leech pretty noticeable? You can get more dps with a rare belt, but the leech might be worth the loss of life and dps to some.

If you're liking the cold route, after getting life and resists you want "increased elemental damage with weapons" (best for dps) and "adds x-y cold damage" or "X% increased cold damage" on gear. Accuracy is good too, so that Horror Loop Two-Stone Ring should give you the biggest dps boost. If only it had life! The 18% increased evasion rating is sweet on that Entropy Collar Turquoise Amulet and probably more desirable than accuracy since the swords give you a head start on accuracy anyway.

The leech save me from DoT dmg like desecrated ground. Also no regen maps is okay too. Great survivability on boss fights.

I'm gonna reroll a toon now. Thanks a lot for the advice and for the great build!

edit:
would like to add, that I enjoy facing the giant spider boss in jungle valley. there's a risk, but just gotta kill before you get killed.

That's my motto in this game :P

Now level 94!

Updated tree and stats.

I dropped the 5 nodes at the Templar start and took Celestial Judgement and Celestial Punishment instead. My tooltip dps went down a tiny bit, but clear speeds are even better with the elemental penetration and added damage against shocked/frozen enemies. Shocking.

Hello, thank you for this very interesting build.
Have you tried this build with Spectral Throw as a main skill ?
Where can we find some gameplay video about this build ? I really would like to know how it performs.

I haven't done much with ST because to test it properly I'd need different chest colors, and the colors I have right now are hard to roll and perfect for the Cleave setup. I can tell you that with my current tree and a Tabula Rasa with ST + Added Lightning + Added Cold + Faster Attacks + Lesser Multiple Projectiles + Weapon Elemental Damage (all level 19 to 20 20% qual gems, except ST which I don't have qual on yet), I only get about 11.3k dps. Now, that number will be higher with Queen of the Forest, a quality Spectral Throw, and Sniper + Ballistic Mastery on the tree, but it's never going to compare to Cleave. Plus, to get the most out of ST you need a level 20 gem, which means mana costs are going to be higher, so you either need ST linked to Blood Magic or mana nodes on the tree. Sadly Spectral Throw was nerfed so hard that the only way to make it comparable to other endgame skills is to go crit.

I don't have any videos, but I get asked about it a lot! I might have to make a YouTube channel just for this.
