[New Video][2.0.3] Thedalus' DW RT Reave (20 APS/160,000 DPS)

Thanks for the detailed responses!

I'm currently using a Brightbeak in my main hand and just bought a Laviangas last night that should significantly help with my mana issues until I start using blood magic gems (after I stack a bit more life). The AoE buffs from Lavianga's will translate to better pack clears, which in turn makes me more mana-efficient. At this point in the leveling process I'm mainly focused on the bulk of the pathing through the tree and grabbing those Keystones. The next priority will be to start stacking life nodes and as you said, rocking two mana flasks will carry me to the point where I can afford a Soul Taker (Luckily I've got a reasonable MF Flame Totem build [26IIQ/256IIR] that's able to do the heavy lifting for me on currency). The real problem is that since I started this build I haven't felt like playing my farmer!

It's all going to come down to timing on this build; that point in merciless where you just sit down and figure out how to balance all your gear to get you to 85+ is always fun.

It's interesting that you mention your farmer, I'll also add a section where I explain how I farmed most of my stuff.

The cool thing about having 3/4 jewels is that you can actually switch this build to a farmer with a few gear changes. I don't have a farmer toon but I can transform this one into a 60/260 farmer (this requires a IIQ and an IIR gem) that can steadily farm insane Strands/Dry Woods and others. At the moment I can even farm 76s like that (it's just slower and the reward is kinda the same).

Basically having Goldwyrm Boots, Auerseize Gloves, IIQ/IIR Gems, Andvarius, will give you very decent numbers without having to sacrifice that much. In the Reave links, once you hit a 6L, you can replace Increased AoE with IIR and Added Fire Damage with IIQ. Running very high quantity/rarity maps, preferably with multiple bosses, is how I farmed like 90% of my stuff. It requires an investment but it really really pays off, farming with Reave is very very fast.

I created my version of your build. U can check it here:

Really thanks bro and gl in playing.

Hey mllody!
It's great that you did that, makes me happy to see people doing well and branching from my guide!

Thank you so much for the reference, hope to cross paths with that Marauder build soon, ;)

Take care and good luck!
