Your onslaught flask is useless. We have onslaught from the tree already. If you want to use a utility flask you better take something like 40% damage or the smoke flask.


Thanks for the reply, however I feel like it helps with bosses due to the onslaught from the tree coming from "On Kill". But I might switch it and Lion's roar to something else soon.
Is it worth it to take Herald of Ash over Arctic Armor? I switched to Herald of Ash and it was a big DPS boost. With Whirling Blades and using Sunder from range I feel Arctic Armor wasn't getting any use since I'm keeping things at range instead of trying to face tank it. My reaction times are pretty good so I'm able to avoid most things no issue. Right now I'm having no issue clearing things but I was just curious if Arctic Armor was a must for something? Thanks for the info! Love the build.

PS: I know using Herald of Ash means I can't do elemental reflect maps as well, but I wanted to add that I already don't do those. I primarily play with my boyfriend and he runs a magic user so we avoid elemental and physical reflect maps.

Edit: And I didn't lose any dps switching one of the sockets to red on the Prismatic Blade to use Herald of Ash. I actually gained a couple thousand. I've got some attack speed on my jewel in the skill tree that makes up for it.

You can switch Arctic Armor to Herald of Ash. Just take out leap slam out of the main weapon and use Vaal Breach in the Eclipse to keep the green socket. And to be able to summon mobs that come near the boss to have some more DPS from bleed and herald burn.

Found little upgrade from new corruptions.


With this you save 2 points in skill tree. Other good corrupts could be Fortify on hit and inc AoE

Yea thats bad. However AoE and fortify shoul be global. That would make a ultimate offhand (excluded 120% extra ele shenanigans)

I'm curious if there is a reason to keep the green socket though? My DPS went up before I even put in the jewel to counteract the lost attack speed. I also didn't see any discernible difference in my speed with Sunder, Whirling Blades, etc.

Thanks for the answer!

No idea. Maybe there is an attack speed cap I do not know of.
Gonna try around a bit and see what I can find. Maybe there is some sort of soft cap at which it doesn't scale as much anymore or a physical damage minimum that can be "broken" where a red socket might be stronger than the added attack speed.

Can you share your build? It might be matter of gear. I think more added physical dmg on rings etc you have >> more you benefit from AS.

My character is available to look at in my profile, or at least it should be.
