One last question - are we doing any cursing in this build?

You can, but self-cast, as there's no room to use blasphemy. Assassin's mark for dps and power charges, or if you want to be safe, enfeeble.

There are absolutely no mana problems with the build, I only run 0.3% phys mana leech on a jewel and it's more than enough even for single target.

And Serge is right about Varunastra, I tried building around it at first, but after theorycrafting a bit I came to the conclusion that a build around Bino's will offer more dps and more ehp compared to a Varunastra one. Top rolled Bino's go for around 1-2 EX on Perandus SC, while top rolled Varunastras go for 3-4EX+, so price is a problem too.

It's funny though, now I have a bunch of jewels that I need to sell with a bunch of random 1hander weapon types :))

Ty for the build guide, it helped me a lot!

LE: This is the first time I reach endgame, and I am not sure about lots of stuff. If u would want to maximize single target dmg (for boss killing), let's say we preserve the links and just swap out Reave, what would u go for ? Double Strike? Viper Strike and stacking some DOT jewels? Frenzy ? Or Reave with conc effect is as good as those, or even better ? I tried comparing the skills and links in a tabula, but I am sure the dps tooltip is not enough to compare. I am even thinking about using Frenzy as a charge generator for single target (with no links) and Viper Strike in 6L. I'm not even sure the dps gain would be worth it, since we lose the pseudo-range from Reave.

And about the defense, u think it's a good idea to drop Herald of Ash for a Blasphemy-Enfeeble-IncAOE setup for when I reach difficult content? Or is Temporal Chains a better choice for a curse with this evasion/block build ?

If I find space on gear would it be worth to run a IC-CODT setup with this build ?

Double Strike would give you most single target dps.

Enfeeble will make you safer then temp chains. Just don't use it with inc aoe cause that will reserve even more of your mana and you quite possibly will not have enough for attacks.

It's always good to run CWDT - IC if you can, it can save your life very often.

First of all thanks for the amazing build. I started playing this game just about a couple weeks ago, but I have been reading a lot on the forums; this one is my favorite.

I think I want to go with claw for the sustain; however, your gear section does not have claws. Is there any particular unique I should look for, or if I go with a rare, what stats should I be focusing on?

Thanks.

You should look for a rare claw with as much PHYSICAL dps as possible. NOT elemental, but physical!

Is lightning coil or carcass jack a good option for this build?

Thanks, understood.

Next I want to ask about single target replacement for Reave during boss fights.

Looking at the build, it is stacking on frenzy charge, but with single target, I assume it would be difficult to keep the frenzy charges up. Yes there are some summoned minions here and there, but then without Reave it is annoying to hunt them down and keep up the charges reliably.

So, instead of double strike suggested earlier, how about using Frenzy?

The only drawback I see is mana cost, but with claw I think mana sustain is possible. It's a waste not to fully utilize our frenzy charge upgrades.

What's your opinion?

They are, coil being better than carcass simply because of the survivability boost it offers.

Feel free to try :) dps should be ok, but you need to see how it is with mana.

I'm at 44k with bino's.

What dagger do you suggest for perandus league that's afforable, to reach 120k?
