This build really isn't working out well for me, probably just because I suck though.

It got pretty bad when I reached Act3 merc, I could barely kill any of the exiles in the Flashback league. Self-cast Frost Wall doesn't seem to be helping much with rares/bosses. Clearing large packs with KB is fairly fast and fun but when something stronger starts chasing me I have to spent way too much time killing it.

Now that exiles and bloodlines mods are gone, I can farm docks again, trying to kill Gravicius was still impossible though.

Buffed KB is around 3k tooltip and PS at 4k. The 82% chance to hit is horrible, I hate standing there and watching half my attacks miss. I just put the first point in the Depth Perception wheel.

Is 300-400 accuracy on jewelry gonna be any help or do I need more? Wand upgrade seems to be around 15-20c, so I really don't know what to upgrade first. I barely got 10 chaos in currency and no sellable items besides a Rat's Nest which I'm using.

My tree: Passive skill tree build

Your tree looks fine, link your gear if you can, will help a lot more.

Wander is hard before getting to maps, around level 50-65, especially with no currency behind you.

Sounds like you need more accuracy, get a good evasion/hp/accuracy/res helmet, and possibly some accuracy on jewelry. Pretty much wand > amulet > 5L > rings for dps.

Would it not be better to start Ranger and invest those 10% phys nodes into stronger damage nodes?

Yeah you're right actually.
This build didn't used to go into Ranger start, but now that it does you're better off starting Ranger. Ranger has nice 8% attack speed and 20% accuracy node there too.

Hi Oos,

Do you mean in the Beta it's better to start as Ranger? Or even in the live servers right now?

Both really. Before we didn't go into the Ranger start so after we did I was still stuck in the Shadow mind set. Either class is fine and Shadow is probably better to level with, but as Ranger you will save 4 points late game.

You suggested leveling with lightning tendrils but since most the nodes you pick up are physical damage nodes wouldn't the damage from lightning tendrils feel lackluster? Are there any really efficient way of leveling before transitioning into a wander? or do i need to get better?

If you were to level with spells then getting a couple elemental nods in Shadow is recommended. You can respec out of them later with the free respec points.

Other good leveling options are spectral throw with good leveling 2h weapons, or tornado shot with Death's Harp.

Once 2.0 drops I'll rewrite a lot of the guide with updated info and stuff I've learned from remaking this character on beta and also pushing my main to 95 on HC.

I'll start checking the thread more often again and reply to you guys. Good luck.

Hey, I just transitioned into a wander and it work wonders.I saw your 2.0 video and you said that daresso's defiance is a better chest for awakening. My question is should I use a daresso now or buy a belly of the best?
Also, how much crit chance is good on kb? I have only around 22% chance currently

Belly is the best choice on live currently, but Lightning Coil and Daresso's are good choices also. Belly just helps a lot with dealing with elemental damage too (having a larger HP pool).

As for crit chance, you should aim for 65-75% crit once you have all power charges up. If it's low now make sure you have a local crit roll on your wand, all your other crit will scale from that. 10%+ crit wand.
If you have just transitioned then don't worry too much, as you level you'll get a lot more passive points and your damage/crit will scale well.

Enjoy.

First of all, really nice build ! Currently lvl 38, and I love it.

I have a question regarding the gems :

Currently I have

Kinetic Blast + Power Charge on Crit + Faster Attacks + Greater Multiple Projectiles

Power Siphon + Crit Multi + Faster Attacks + Physical Projectile Damage

Hatred + Herald Of Ice + Reduced Mana

Cast When Damage Taken (6) + Enduring Cry (8) + Immortal Call (7) + Increased Duration (20)

Can you guide me ? What gems should I add to my build ?

I don't really understand this part :

"

Hatred + Herald Of Ice + Reduced Mana.
These are the important auras. Hatred will scale your physical damage, and Herald of Ice increases our clear speed so much. The shatter on kill effect sets off a chain reaction and just pops entire packs, very satisfying.

I also use Herald of Ash.
It's ok physical scaling, the on kill effect doesn't do much because of HoIce being so strong.
Instead of HoAsh you can use Herald of Thunder + Assassin's Mark + Curse on Hit. Then you can drop Power Charge on Crit in your main AOE links.
I prefer having Enfeeble on the monsters but it's up to you.

You could possibly drop Hatred for Grace, but it's not really needed.

Do you mean I should use Herald of Ash with Hatred + Herald Of Ice + Reduced Mana ? Or Herald of Thunder + Assassin's Mark + Curse on Hit ?

Thank you in advance :)

And could you tell me if I need to stop leveling gem at a certain point ?

Ex kinetic blast, Once I reached lvl 38, I don't level it anymore.

It might be a nolb question, but im a noob xD

Thank you !

Just want to say thank you Oos, great guide, great build. Im level 70 now and really enjoy the build.
I hope you'll continue to make great guides like this. Sure i'll be following :)
PS: I really hope you'll update your crit dagger build to 1.3 I would love to give it a try :)

Check my gems in my gear in the first page, those I found are most optimal. For 5th/6th links you should use Phys Proj DMG and Pierce, WED is also an option but the other two are prefered.
The rest of your gems are fine, fill your other slots with what you prefer.

As for auras, HoIce/Ash/Hatred are best but if you want, you can drop HoAsh for HoThunder + Curse on Hit + Assasins Mark. This will allow you to drop PCOC from your main links.
I prefer my setup with CWDT Enfeeble on monsters, but I play HC, on SC the HoThunder/CoH setup is good for more damage.
It's up to you.

Not a noob question, it's fine.
Level your gems all the way, apart from your CWDT setup.
Check my gear on the first page to see gem levels. If you cant level a gem up yet because of int/str requirements then get a +3- node and respec it later when you have the stats on gear.

Glad you enjoy it!
I'll look into the dagger reave build again. I cant promise I'll update it because I have so many other build ideas and making a guide takes forever.
Reave is viable again in 2.0 though, you can get lost of defense through fortify and high block (50%ish) from tree and jewels.
We'll see.

Thank you a lot for the reply !

I have one more question for you :

If I look at ur gear, not all the gems are upgraded to +20 % quality... Are there any reasons ?

Should I upgrade all my hems to quality 20 % ? Or just some of them ?

Thank you ! once again, nice build ! I wreck monster xD hahah

Thanks for your reply. Actually you should keep working on 2.0 builds. Ppl would really need them especially ones that could not get in beta atm like myself.
Another question will this Kinetic Blast build work in 2.0? Cos I really love playing this build. But the thought of losing immune physical damage without the CwDT setup make me scared. Will there be other defense system for this build? Thanks again Oos XOXO

I'm having a Blast! with this build right now, is there anything you can suggest to change for my gear?
I maxed all my resists besides fire which is around 50%, any idea how to get more?
