Did you try Revelry passive? Its near duelist area and you are not that far... Is it effective mana gain? What Im wondering is, can you use that instead of blood magic to free gem slot

It's a possibility. But we lose alot of points. A level 1 molten strike and full eleoron jewelry might work as well. that would be -24 mana but then, all that crafting is more expensive than soul taker siege axe.

A simple solution would be to use a life/mana on hit claw introduced with the Awakening. That's what I'm using and it works like a charm, no problems whatsoever.

But how do you revelry if you have no mana? We use 100% mana for Auras. I tested w/ Alpha's helm in softcore, Was still able to run run: Wrath, Anger, Herald of Ice, Herald of Thunder. And it used exactly 100% of mana reserved if we picked the aura nodes I specified.

Is the on kill benefits worth going for the heralds over the Hatred increased AoE and damage?

Instead of Hatred I would go Anger. Hatred is too weapon based and anger damage will stay constant even if I find a great elemental damage weapon. I plan on sticking w/ Arctic Armour. You never know when that group of archers all shoot you at the same time or the devourers all pop up and let you have it.

Ignore this I messed up and all is well.

Level 54 currently

Oh, of course if you have 100% of your mana reserved then it won't work, obviously.
Have you compared of the additional herald vs the additional link you get from removing Blood Magic if you have a good mana on hit claw ? I actually have no idea which one would give you better DPS, I'm curious.

I actually meant anger but it was so late when i posted I wrote the wrong thing..

Anger + Wrath + Artic armor
or

Wrath + Herald of Thunder+ Herald of Ice + Artic armor

and would you go templar tree or dual curse first? Ele damage & hp or Int passives and Dual curse

I am sorry if this has already been answered in the thread, but i have a few questions about your skillgem setup.

Is the +85 section up to date? i am confused as to why you drop gems like fortify and thought it might be because that section of the build is outdated.

Which gems should be left at level 1? currently your endgame setup only has a single CoDT at level 1.

Thanks for helping me clear that up. So many gem setups I want to use but so little sockets :( Very hard to determine which is "best".

I think I originally had lvl85+ to be physical reave and then fortify would be a support gem for reave. I previously had posted optional CwDT set-ups that were optional but I just removed them. I still recommend getting extra CwDT gems so you can experiment which is best for you.

Early on, they all should be level 1, but later on level one to around 1/3 of max hp.

I actually do it all at once. Since it's such a long way with a bunch of wasted points, I spec into life and damage nodes until I am level 76. Then I despec those nodes straight to dual curses and the other aura nodes. I buy my Alpha's helm at this time too. Thank You for notifying me. I added a note to main page and changed it and labeled the levels accordingly. Might be off 1 level or so. Prolly off 1-2 levels max not sure if I accounted for level 1 w/ no state point and the bandit quest.

Great news, I checked in legacy, and w/ Alpha's Helm, we can actually use exactly 150% mana reserved!!
Wrath 50%
Anger 50%
Herald of Thunder 25%
Herald of Ice 25%

I don't know why this is possible though.

How do you curse when leveling up? or do you even use curses while leveling?

what gear do you have in video?

cuz you psot a gear section with budget selfound rare dual claw, and you also post a lvl85+ gear with things like alpha hawl and soul taker?!?!

I am poor, is this build cheap or not?
is this build atziri viable too?!

what was your dps wit the rare items? (average)?

can you use other skill than molten strike? light strike, ice crash?!
