Anyone knows how long take to kill boss of maps t10-13 with good gear? Is this build really slow on mid map bosses?

Hey, how about Duskdawn for staff?
Seems to give more dps in PoB atleast, but then again I'm not an expert in using PoB since i just downloaded it yesterday.

nice build :>
what would you think about using the 2nd 6link for vortex with high lvl arcane surge?
ofcourse you would only have 3 totems but it might help with sigle target?

i just don't know what else to do with this 6link ^^

I like the idea, but since I haven't tested it I will be reluctant to make a decision on that. Let me know how it goes if you decide on trying it =)

Hey LNB,

Thanks a lot for making this build, I really like the idea behind it and the choices make a lot of sense to me. I will use a build inspired by this one in the upcoming league. I'm playing on softcore and my goal is to reach lvl 100 quickly by mapping efficiently.

I assume you designed this mainly with hardcore in mind, so I have made a few changes to the build to hopefully suit my needs a bit better. The main difference is that I will be using a dagger and shield in order to make use of shield charge. I'm also taking a bit more damage and fewer defensive nodes in the tree.

Here is the PoB link: https://pastebin.com/CgfieTcA

Obviously I'm not taking the staff nodes since I'll be using a dagger. I also decided not to go into the marauder area, but instead head over to the shadow area to pick up extra crit nodes and some attack speed for faster clearing. I also focused a bit more on QoL by taking the extra totem placement speed near the life wheel.

One of the reasons for going dagger/shield is that I'm afraid that a 6L Taryn's Shiver might be very expensive and I think it will be a bit faster if I can use shield charge to get around.

Overall I'm losing some tankyness, but the damage should be a bit higher(according to PoB). Since I will probably be running mostly strands the loss of tankyness shouldn't be too much of an issue.

I'd love to get some feedback from you or anyone interested because I'm not very experienced at making builds so I might be overlooking something important about losing the staff.

Thanks and GL in 3.0!
