Hey when you were leveling as 2 handed crit staves how did you get a decent staff? Basically how did you make sure you always had a decent dps/crit staff and how do you think is the easiest way to make currency for a hegemony's era?

Also I was thinking of using molten strike and AoF with this build to get huge ignites and maybe try out prolif. Yes I know the less multi will affect the initial hit and the burn, but I might just put it on a HoA because I suspect in a crit build I'll be able to deal a lot of overkill damage. And I would obviously have a setup for single target for bosses.

I was thinking of using a tree like this

I chose Scion because it was in the middle so I could also go into Shadow. With a hege's I wouldn't need all of the extra crit from the right side of the tree which I could then respec out of for more life/armour nodes on the left side. What do you think?

While leveling, you don't spec into any staff nodes, just the generic 2h weapon nodes, as there are plenty of those. Accordingly, you can use ANY good 2h weapon you find while leveling. I used a mace. You can also use nice leveling uniques like geofri's baptism.

It might work, but relying on prolif might be problematic because it was nerfed. I actually haven't played it since, so I'm not sure.

Very fun and enjoyable build. I had mana issues while leveling even with a 0.2 mana leech belt so I was forced to go Blood magic while leveling to sustain the high cost of Ice Crash if I wanted to run 2 auras. Upon achieving level 68 and switching to hegemony era the high DPS gain you get was high enough to switch off Blood magic on ice crash.

On another note, what do you thinking about using Maligaro's and Rat's nest and using Iron Reflex? Worthed?

Maligaro's not really worth it, if you want more DPS, I'd simply go for Abyssus. Rat's nest, yeah, but only if you take IR. Your choice if you want to invest that much for it.

Oh boy, the changes in 2.1 are LOVELY! Lowered mana cost of melee skills, more mana leech in the tree... VERY nice changes for this build, as the mana cost was one of its main problems.

Gonna post an updated passive tree soon.

Mate, when the new passive tree and changes to skill/gems and etc coming aprox?

Also curious if blashpemy will take place in your build?


P.S. is this build also atziri viable?

You can find the patch notes in the announcements section of this forum.

Blasphemy is extremely appealing, but it will be hard to fit it in. I'll have to consider it carefully, I might simply make a version of the build with it and without it.

And yes, you can do Atziri with this build if you're an experienced atziri farmer.

ty for your reply, mate.

Do you make some changes in pasive tree when 2.1.0 will be launched?

Btw, which skill for solo targeting do you use? Heavy strike?
Updating the thread just now.

No single-target skill, Ice crash is more than enough for that :) you can have concentrated effect in your weapon swap and swap it with increased aoe for a HUGE dps increase. However, since we can use blasphemy now, I might add heavy strike as a 2nd skill.

Will you update skill tree before talisman goes live? I wouldn't like to start my char with this build and realise later that I screwed up my skilltree.
Btw why it's better to use warlords mark, not the assasins mark for additional crits?
