Why link hatred with generosity?

Minions are responsible for our damage. Therefore, we provide them a stronger hatred by linking it with generosity, thus giving them more damage. There's no reason for us to benefit from hatred as our only personal damage-dealing ability is Shield Charge.

However, we don't link Haste, because we benefit from the increased speed as well as our minions.

Oh! Thanks, one more little question about the Hatred+Generosity. I've never played with EE and i'm a little confused, my minions deal physical, fire and cold (hatred) damage right?, if i use Orb of Storm to proc EE (considering Hatred without Generosity) would the Orb deal Lightining + Cold? Thus lowering my damage?

Orb of Storms is not affected by Hatred, as it does no physical damage to convert to cold. :)

I keep dying to physical damage in hardcore league before beating Act 10. Just doing this build as written I start dropping off around act 7 and slow way down, then I die in Act 10 to cultists, usually. Any tips for making it to the end of the game? What should my health look like, or armor, or really anything. I've tried a couple times now and it keeps happening the same way.

As of now, there is no official HC Variant for this build.

Physical damage is definitely a weak point of the build. Making sure your rare items are Armor-based will help mitigate some physical damage. Also, in HC, I would imagine you would want most of your flasks to be defensive, rather than offensive. I would definitely recommend a Chemist's Basalt of Warding over a Quicksilver one, at least in SC, Quicksilver is just a luxury item. Most of the dodging fatal things will happen with shield charge, not flasking.

Using MoM may do more harm than good in HC, until you've got a sufficent mana pool to avoid the lock-down situations that can occur. These are when you sustain continued or massive damage spikes which remove all of your mana, thus making you unable to shield charge out of a potential hazard.

You could go with a high mana pool build such as this.

Or drop MoM and the associated mana nodes for more life/evasion.

Take this with a grain of salt, though, I have not played HC so this is just pure speculation on my part. I'll try and sit down with Huy to see if he has any thoughts on a HC build.

Can someone explain the interaction between Vaal clarity and Lavianga's Spirit? I like the flask however it refills my mana so fast that I don't see how people are getting 30 seconds of free casting. Mine is quite low rolled 1400ish and not quality'd at all.

Also, are we now dropping mom in favor of running 3 auras?

You shouldn't be using Vaal Clarity outside of No Regen Maps if you have Lavianga's. Pick Up Vaal Lightning Trap for more damage. Vaal Clarity is mostly a training-wheels approach to getting people used to Lavianga's/mana management.

Typically speaking you do not get the full flask effect, but you have the right idea, lowest % on the flask and zero quality. Our mana pools are just too small to get the full 30 seconds.

It is still recommended to run 3 auras and have MoM, but adjust to your playstyle/preference. There's a 'Mana Issues' troubleshooting section now in the guide. The nerfs to MoM were pretty significant, but can be account for/worked around.

So I tried to run all three at level 57 following the tree and it leaves me with 0 mana. Should I not run all three until I get all the mana reservation nodes? Should I run regen and hatred or haste and hatred? Regen doesn't seem to be a problem with two, with or without clarity.

Ah, yes. I'm sorry I didn't realize you were lower level. Until you get all the mana reservation reduction nodes you may not be able to run all three. Mainly Sovereignty over by the left side of the minion life/damage nodes is one of the major ones once you work your way over there.

For now, pick which Auras works best for you. ie. If you have Brightbeak then maybe take Hatred in lieu of Haste, etc.

Hello Everyone,

really liking this build, thanks to the people involved in writing the guide!

I was curious what you think of my current setup and maybe have some improvement suggestions.
(still saving up for the Flasks)



I just bought the Alpha's Howl, i found it interesting since this way i can get +2 on all auras and Stone golem, 8% reduced mana and Cannot be Frozen.

Hi everyone, i want to try United in dream, but do not know what to do with envy aura... So please help me, do i need to replace haste or hatred or not? And is it better to use than add chaos gem instead ele focus? Thank you...
