You really want to get Queen of the Forst (or whatever unique chest you end up wanting to use) as soon as possible. It'll be either a huge clearspeed boost or a huge defensive boost (or both).

Did you capped your resists at 169% or 75% is enough? My resists are at 160%+ each but two of my rings does not have any maximum life affix.

75% is enough; Life is huge on rings, so you're better off having more life than ele weakness proofed resists. You can potentially avoid ele weakness, but you can't avoid taking damage sometimes. So better off with life.

Queen of the Forest is huge movespeed when you stack evasion % on tree (combined with natural evasion on gear.

Also, Devoto's Devotion helm is 20% as well.

I'm personally sitting on about 85% without flasks up and only in my 70's with decent gear.

Totally agree. even if you just get a 5L to start, upgrading from Tabula would be a huge boost.

Overcapped resistances help if you run an elemental weakness map, or are cursed by an enemy. Life helps you in every map. This build doesn't need much out of rings, unless you roll the dice on Envy-crafting. You can easily find some high life/high res rings with a craftable spot for flat Chaos.

I think so. As cmphx has said, Shadow/Assassin has plenty of easily accessible crit nodes/skills. Rat's Nest can add 4% or 5% which is nice, but if you keep power charges up and use a diamond flask, it's not overly necessary. Devoto's has 1% extra attack speed, 10% more movement speed, and a bit of chaos resist on top. Don't forget the 50 dexterity also helps further boost your accuracy and evasion.

Just managed to beat uber-Lab at 82 to get Toxic Delivery. Pretty satisfied to be able to finish that solo already. Final fight was really close, but Decoy Totem and keeping my distance was enough to get the last hit in.

This build is great so far. Really looking forward to getting the levels and items to really unlock the full potential. I love being able to do damage without being squishy.

Hi can i assk about the helm enchantment.

I am having some trouble getting a +2 barrage helm. Is a +40% damage to barrage good enough? How much dps loss is it compared to the +2 barrage?

thanks!

just a noob question-> Since the build is focusing on chaos dmg, what do you think about Voltaxic Rift Spine Bow.I know it got super nerfed but still 60% more chaos (instead of lightning) it doesnt look bad?

Because of amount of different helm mods, if you got +40 barrage damage enchantment on helm I'd recommend keeping it. You can enchant other helm to get +2 barrage proj.

I dont remember how much inc damage adds to dps and game closed so I can only give you formula compare:

Barrage Damage with 40% helm ench * Projectiles
vs
Barrage Damage*(Current Projectiles + 2)

I doubt it will be any good compared to Reach and Opus, because you would need to use GMP on LA, Barrage would lose 4 projectiles, you would get bunch unconverted lighting damage...
Dont forget that physical damage also poison, so all damage from Reach poisons enemies.

Would SA with Voltaxic work?

I'm using a tabula pretty early so i am having trouble with mana (no surprise). do you guys spec into the mana leech cluster (Essence Sap) for lvling ?
