Thanks for this build.Its really fun.I choose the blade flurry skill tree(Slightly less DPS, more leech one)
My ES and DPS in Hideout 6-7k with buffs (litte low i guess)
Should i change for "Maximum DPS but less leech" skill tree?
I am a kinda new player. So would you help me with couple of advice.Please look at my profile.
Have a good day

You're welcome!

Ya your ES is abit low, I would recommend getting a crystal belt. You can also aim to upgrade your left ring slot with a better ring that has WED and INT on it.

Looking at your tree, you've still got another brute force socket to get to which will improve your int which will improve your DPS and ES. Also, you should be using a fertile mind jewel in the socket above ranger. You're using a rare jewel there at the moment.

Hey guys, I'm about to enchant "Multiple Mods" on this ring, % to ES is obvious but I'm not sure if attack speed or crit chance? my crit chance is relatively low right now (30.9%) with 372 crit multi.
Here's the ring

any tips?

Edit: I just realized I cant enchant attack speed.. im dumb. Either way, not sure if worth exalting the ring..

I think that's a very decent ring. I would personally exalt that, although I would wait for exalts to fall further before exalting. I mean, exalting suffixes tends to be not as risky as you will likely end up with a useful stat (dex/str or res). Just hope to avoid life regen. Just make sure you block the prefix first before you exalt or you won't be able to craft %ES if you exalt a prefix.

What about choir of the storm? Is that a solid option for the build?

That's a very commonly asked question haha

Nope, its a much poorer option than a good rare.

Whats the best 6 link for Reave with this build.
Reave - Multistrike - WED - Crit Chance - LPEN - AOE/Conc? Im a little worried without ele focus since you cant shock alot of the endgame stuff like guardians atziri shaper etc?

Ya the requirement of Reave for Multistrike loses you a socket for Ele Focus, which is a huge loss for DPS. I would probably drop the aoe/conc. effect gem for Ele Focus in that 6L setup and just grab the templar AOE cluster.

Was discussing the elemental focus gem with a friend in regards to this build (bladeflurry version).
What does the "skills dosent apply status ailments" mean for us?

Does bladeflurry cause the "shock"-ailment mobs or even bosses?

So is the elemental focus worth it contra another support gem?

Elemental Focus means you can't apply shock, but both BF and ST get the bulk of their damage by doing a lot of small hits so generally you can't shock any high HP monsters that don't die quickly anyway. *Maybe* you can shock higher HP monsters (like breach rares or map bosses) where the shock would help, but those encounters are typically so few and far between that I don't think it's worth the substantially lower baseline damage you get from dropping Ele Focus.

The main reason to run something else would be to proc Herald of Thunder if you're running it in your setup.

Yup! just to add to Sorak's input: I don't find the loss of the ability to shock very significant because:

1. the kind of mobs that you'll be shocking without Ele Focus will be white, magic and rare mobs, most of which you'll be killing very quickly anyway without shocking for shock to make a huge difference.

2. Against bosses, you likely won't be shocking the higher HP ones very much anyway to begin with due to the nature of BF.

3. You have Vinktars which shocks enemy mobs on flask usage. You don't really lose the ability to shock by using Ele Focus because of Vinktars.

any idea what dmg BF should have at least at lvl 90 character ?

unbuffed, i have

AOE :11268
ConC :17507

I'm level 90 and have 17950k dps on BF in hideout, that's with wrath, discipline and ice golem up - no potions or frenzy charges etc. Also, that's with IAOE, I never use Conc Effect, cant be bothered.

P.

The Blue Dream / The Blue Nightmare - perfect jewel for this build, right? (especially for Spectral Throw version, because you kill monsters from far distance, so BV+CWDT+PCoC doesn't generate power charges properly)

additional chaos dmg + generation of power charges

It's good but with higher end gear the jewel ends up not being that useful since you can cleave through mobs fast enough without the extra damage from power charges, with the jewel losing most of its value against fighting harder bosses like shaper/guardian. In which a generic good damage jewel would be just as good against those extremely high hp targets and regular mobs.

Only interesting thing is that you upgrade it to the nightmare version to have spellblock.

Am I missing something? Why do we use CWDT - Immortal Call ?

We dont have any generation of endurance charges?

Has anyone tried incorporating either:

1) Ancestral Protector + WED + Faster Attacks + Lightning Pen

or

2) Orb of Storms + PCoC + CoH + Assassin's Mark (or Ele Weakness)

into the build instead of the BV + PCoC setup?

Obviously it requires manual casting which the BV setup doesn't, but both options provide a larger and more reliable boost to damage provided the skills are up. I just am not sure if the time and effort it takes to cast is worth it.

Is a lvl 4 enlighten enough to run Discipline - Wrath and Arctic Armor? if not then what about HoT.

Guys, sorry for question. Im new player.
But how does he regenerate mana without Vinktar?
Im use Assasins Mark, but guider user 2 another auras.
Sorry for my English :c

I'm actually running a Orb of Storms + PCoC crit setup. A simple 2 link setup like this is very reliable in boss fights since the only time you'll have problem about generating power charges with BV setup is the high end boss fights.

I have 11.7k dps on BF in hideout with just wrath and golem up but I can farm shaper and uber atziri deathless and pretty fast so I'd say 11.2 dps in hideout can carry you through the all content probably.
