Hey!
Increased Duration nodes are completely useless as everything available should already be dead by the time Contagion expires.

Pierce gem is there only for the more damage multiplier (same as slower projectile but with no downside to the build).

Hey Ghazzy, i think i read this somewhere but cant remember where but do u have any alternatives for +1 corupt tabula? Something witnout +1 to gems with some other stats to compensate dmg lost? Thx

Lioneye's Vision It's this chest piece which is very lovely and would indeed make give you a slight increase in DPS, however, when you get yourself a +1 Tabula you also get + lvls of your Empower when you move in to a slightly higher budget and once you do that the Tabula +1 will be better than the Lioneye's Vision. On top of that the Lioneye's vision 6L will cost you more currency than a lvl 3 Empower & a +1 Tabula combined.

I already have tabula +1, got my rathpith, spell dmg amu and the whole build is quite finished so im just exploring new ways of next steps :)

i post my gear and maybe ill get some feedback from you or other ED players ;) Thx

Spoiler

Looks solid to me! Nice work! :D

I think will trade some life nodes to focus on block chance because i believe it's not stun but block recovery what makes me "stop" while moving through packs.
Maybe with more block, block recovery & high grace (alpha+empower) will get enough survival for high tiers.

Go for it! :)

Hi,

I'm interested playing this build in HC but I wonder if you recommend going "Patient reaper" instead of Swift killer?

I feel like this is a safer choice but I'm afraid missing clearing speed since I really enjoy going FAST...

Do you have any other tips I should be aware of If I want to play this in HC?

Thanks in advance

I personally prefer Swift Killer for higher clear speed myself.

Get life nodes on higher priority and make sure you get good life/res on gear when lvling as well! :)
