I'm level 38 and for some reason my dps and hp is really bad, I died against Darreso like 4 fucking times before he finally died, and I'm also really struggling with Mana.
Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?
My equipment:
Get Death's Harp or a high physical damage bow around your level, grab the physical damage bow nodes below Acrobatics. There you go.
Got Death's Harp.
The damage nodes aren't actually in the build though, so I'm not sure whether to get them.
Maybe get them now, then respec when getting Voltaxic.
Anyway, I'm not sure where to level right now - More life, more crit, more life leech.
Very confused right now as there is no levelling guide for nodes.
Go back to Page 58, i ve posted some leveling trees, use them as a guideline if you want.
As soon as you get enough damage you can pick mana leech and life leech node at the bottom near duelist. It's usually enough to sustain the mana.
Thanks for the quick response. How do you personally sustain your mana without any of those nodes though? I can't find anything in your tree or gear that is letting you do that and I'm genuinely curious.

If you look at my passive tree you'll see that i picke up the exact node i've mentioned above. "Life and Mana Leech" to the right below the Duelist.
The real only downside to a tri or duel res body armor is that porcupines will eat you up in general and you will need to flask up with a Jade flask a lot or get ripped apart. Daresso's if you can get the resists elsewhere and also run CWDT & IC can make life a whole lot easier. Then you have lightning coil yet I think you lose to much damage (unless playing HC where it would be a toss up on LC or Daresso's) going that route. IC a lot of posts and I know of the one video on the core map out there yet when you go major tank build and face uber or even probably core map having the extra defense and much less damage also means you have to move much more since the fight will take you longer. In HC we all get used to that in SC I would rather have a little less defense and a little more damage so the monsters go down quicker keeping them from unleashing damage for longer periods of time.
I now have a question. Many have kept the poison gem in BR setup. I removed mine for more ICS yet in some instances I felt like the poison may be a better option for like atziri, etc. yet getting 3 blue colors on armor was a bear so I have not rotated back and forth to really test. Has anyone played around with replacing poison gem in BR setup and if so what were your findings vs like atziri or end game map bosses.
I've played Pathfinder running Atziri and Uberatziri replacing the Poison gem with increased critical strikes due to poison being available from the Ascendancy. However i feel - at least for Atziri - it's too clunky. For mapclearing you will have the flasks up permanently ( speaking for Pathfinder ).
If you talk in general sense comarping Poison to any other gem, i ve tried out Critical strikes w/o being Pathfinder and it lead to me nuking lowlife bosses easier (Crematory, Academy, Arsenal) HOWEVER, on couple of harder bosses like the Core Minibosses or Shrine Piety, Palace Dominus the Poison really stacks up and sometimes finish or damage severly while you have to dodge or move around.
Yes that was my question since gaining about 20% in crit chance was nice I was feeling that the old poison gem worked better yet when the patch came out and the nerf was placed on poison I changed to crit chance gem and even though it is nice I was feeling like it was not working as well pre patch yet since I used a crap load of chroms to get the 3b 2g 1r I thought I would see if anyone else really tested it on endgame tier maps before going back and forth and changing up to see. The nerf sorta seemed steep so I changed out poison gem right away since the buffs came to crit gems to put them back where they once were.
Thanks for your reply. I will put poison back in and play around for a while and run extensive tests now that I have some feedback from someone else that tried the change also.
:P

How good is Snakebite gloves for this build compared to Malgarios and Facebreaker gloves?
For mapping it's fine, else i had the feeling it's too clunky to sustain frenzy charges to 100% which i feel the need of when i use them. However they're a good transitioning item as Thunderfists are if you dont have a 2nd 5Link at the time given.
hey guys, who can tell me
which one chest is the best chose
Belly of the Beast? or Daresso's Defiance ? or 3 resistance hp chest?
thanks~
There is no "best choice". I find a rare Chest with 100+ Life and 100+ Resistances the most fitting choice since as Voltaxic you struggle to get : Resistances, Life and Intelligence and it covers 2 of those things.
However, if you dont have a problem with the mentioned above and cap your resists anyway, you can go for Daresso's due to the sweet 3 endurance charges while mapclearing and the onslaught buff ofc.
ok, thanks so much,
can i ask last question?
gloves? Maligaro's Virtuosity or Facebreaker is the best?
I'm Ranger and tried Deadeye and Raider with my current gear. I still feel the need of Headhunter and some topnotch gear to fully utilize Pathfinder. Raider is good, it really fits the role for inbetween due to high MS and solid damage.
HOWEVER, from my tests: Get the "Ligthning arrow hits 2 additional enemies" Enchant on your Helmet + take Ricochet from Deadeye, take out the Chain gem!
There you go for your best clearspeed/AoE damage potential. I 1 Shot Bosses sometimes with packs around them with simply Lightning Arrow. Offscreening Bosses like Village Ruin and Excavation in like 2-3 Seconds.
I'm on 210k LA with vaal Haste and Atziri's Promise. 159k just with charges.
Yes my gear is good, but i still feel that this is the best choice to go.
There you go my gear:
Small Addition: If you can get your hands on Facebreakers with 3B+1G or 4B with +1 Socketed Gems: These are freaking nuts. Buffed with auras due to herald of Thunder and wrath being socketed there they increased by DPS by 9k (w/o Charges!)
Dude what the hell. I'm trying really hard to get my gear together, but my DPS is only 92k with vaal haste and atziri's promise. I've improved alot now, but i don't know what my next step should be.
