My Gear:

Im using now:

Beacose with new craft mods you can get higher mana leech. 16% attack speed is still strong (i lose onyly 4-5k dps but ive got more life too.

Also ive got new gloves for testing:

Tons of armour for dmg reduction and chance for reversed knockback what we want while spinning with cyclone

Gems:
Spoiler

Cyclone:
Spoiler

Or use:

Instead of Add Fire/Melee DMG on Full Life

In my opinion Fortify even with passive tree nodes for this gem is still weak vs "old" support gems
Aura & Golem:
Spoiler

Spoiler

Buffs LVL OF GEMS IS IMPORTANT:
Spoiler

Spoiler
This setup made me able to "escape" from massive mob attack when they hit me, dealing to them fire dmg, gettin buff's to dmg/movement, cast curse on them and discharge on "bye bye".



Deal with the Bandits:
Spoiler

Normal - Save Oak and get 40 Life
Cruel - Save Oak and get 18% Physical Damage
Merciless - Kill all and get 1 passive skill point

Passives:

can you elaborate on the passive tree while leveling? I plan on using this in HC and I have no idea where I should go first tbh.
I recommend u to get life nodes at first point and then nodes for dmg - thats all.

So what happened to fortify?
What's the point of the reversed knockback gloves when you have no knockback source whatsoever? ;)

Is weak, pretty usless even with passive nodes.

Lv 68 maps are a breeze, really easy. Tooltip dps is sitting around 11.6k unbuffed.

Going for your tree is impossible, since I will never have 123 points.

tree:



Dmg feels good, leveling was easy ... but no where near the flat 78k deeps. Obv. I'm only using a 4 link and no 20/20 gems yet. Right now focussing on trading for a bit so I can get the other gear pieces. What would you recommend I pick up first?

Devoto's, Doryani, Salute?

They are all around 1-2ex range on the new league so it's should be doable, just didn't have that good of drops yet :s

This build really make me happy. :D Eazy leveling and high dps.
Mind me ask a few questions?
First why we didnt choose WED instead of fast attack,that will increase dps.
Then mind me ask if I only leveling to 90(most peolple do),jewel first or other point first?
Now I reach 43000dps with a 450 axe.Thanks for your post!
