Int is glorious, BR should be easier to handle without Vaal Pact and you get passive point. I'm not sure though if that really pays off when you lose 90% crit multi and +1 HoT/Wrath from corrupted Facebreakers.

What do you guys think?

I think it's a good alternative which i dont see the neccesity for. So downright what you gain:

Int which might open up 1 or even 2 talentpoints and/or opens up gearing options due to not needing int on gear.
60-75 Life which is good.
1 more Talentpoint due to potential removement of Vaal Pact.
Slightly better dealing with Bloodrage.
Bit more viability for Labyrinth.
25-35% Critchance.

You lose around 90% crit multi and 26 lightningdamage.
You will expierence some inconsistancy while leeching which is slightly compensated by still having liferegen.
You have another slot with troubles getting 3B (HoT wrath CoH) +1 extra Blue or Green. I dont see red being very valuable. If you choose to go for auras in your helmslot that might work a bit better.

Well, Overall, it's a bit of a convience question. I think you can try it, i would use them if i would get +1 Acuitys, this will however be hard to come by :>

I'm using non-corrupted Acuity atm. Sure they are a DPS loss when compared to corrupted +1 Facebreakers or Virtuosity, but they are a huge QoL improvement when it comes to blood rage management (and even the instant mana leech they provide is nice). The life gain is also pretty decent, and so is the 35% crit chance. The int frees up all the suffixes on jewelry, making it easier to search for some damage-oriented rings / amulet upgrades. The armour is also a free 5% physical mitigation, since we don't wear other armour based items.

+1 Acuity would be an absolute BiS for me. But they are really difficult to get, especially in a temp league.

Hello. Do I really have to got 6L Lightning Arrow or is 5L enough to run uber? i still miss some currency to buy a 6L Voltaxic.

If you have got a 6L blast rain, it's more than enough to run Uber. You will only use LA @Atziri adds, and in that scenario 5L is good.

6L on LA is a luxury and you will only notice it in the highest tiers of maps if the rest of your gear is already very good.

Thank you very much for quick reply :)

Managed to 6L my spare Voltaxic. I was using all fuses i couldfind over last week, total about 400 i think. After adding lev 1 void manipulation to my LA DPS jumped by 8k or so. Now with golem, blood rage nad 7 frenzy charges it's about 80k. And that without 20/20 crit gem and void manipulation on level 12.

Ok, top603.

Your goal is to grab Thick Skin, Golem's blood and Hired Killer in the next 9 levels. Your HP pool should be a lot better then.

Last you can go for Blood Drinker's half cluster.

Hey, I reset some skill points and used them for those points which are what you said. and now my life is 3536. I hope I can have 4k at least at lvl 92 or higher. Cheers!!

dont forget to get % max life on every jewel, that will boost your HP by a lot

Seriously, please post a leveling tree/gear/etc?? thx

Seriously, there's nothing special to levelling this build. Use "Storm Cloud" or "Roth's Reach" or any other weapon you find, it will work just well... just use like... split arrow or flame totem for the first few levels, it really doesn't matter much. Same for the tree. Depending on what class you start with (Ranger/Shadow/Scion/Duelist, all work pretty well) just set out to get whatever you like the most first. Some people go for all the hp first, some go for all the damage first, try to get some basic stats before crit chance or something but it won't change much, level ~70 is quick enough to reach and by that time your tree will have every key part already (leech from the duelist area, knock back on crit, projectile and chaos dmg, vaal pact if you want it). If you want check out the trees on my characters (Aesthetically Challenged, Anderherz and so on) for variations of a tree.

Why poison gem?

I'm having loads of fun with the build but I just don't understand why poison. It's not giving me any dps. I don't have any source of poison only chaos damage. Hope you know what I mean.
