Warlord's Mark isn't needed since we get all the leech we need from our Ascendancy.

k, gotta try Carcass
Warlord's for endurance charges generation, not only for leech (but for that too)

Thanks for the build! I'm having a blast with it. Just got the acuity and it's ripping through red maps.
Could you take a look at my tree/gear and tell me what I could improve? The character name is aungs_volatile_revenge.

My gear for now:



Thanks again.

Got a question. Saw what you said about not needing oskarm's anymore, I bought myself a pair and realised they probably aren't necessary so I'm thinking of just getting a good pair of finger less silk gloves since the spell damage should apply to VD? Or should I just get a high Armour pair of glove and call it a day till atziri's?



currently what im running



ok just got myself some of these so my previous question doesn't matter to me but maybe for other people trying to gear?

Made these today, still cant decide between Beserker, Pathfinder, or Inquisitor, any other users tried the others and have any suggestions?

Im super torn between Berserker, Inquisitor, or Pathfinder right now. If I go with Berserker or Inq, ill be running kaom's heart, if I g with the pathfinder, im gonna run queen of the forest. Mind giving me a little info about the choices here, before I dive in and start leveling one. Im very worried about the lack of leech ill have on the pathfinder, but the queen of the forest + inspired learning seem very appealing.

Warlord's Mark on hit or Watcher's Eye with Fire leeched as life while affected by Anger are the two best options for non-Berserker. I chose Berserker mainly because it's really easy to get going on a low budget. We don't need the 10 Ex Watcher's Eye jewel or Warlord's Mark on hit. The 40% more damage is also very juicy.

Thanks again.

Your gear looks solid. I'd just focus on upgrading the rings. Opal rings are a very nice damage boost.

Oskarm are nice for damage, but they're not needed anymore. A good option would be rare gloves or the new Abyssal gloves. Getting a pair with 2 Abyssal sockets would net us about 80 # Life, 4% Elemental pen and another modifier like flat fire damage to spells. Though, for most people, I'd say that going with rare gloves is probably a good idea, having another rare slot will ease the process of capping your resistances.

Cant use leap, charge, of WB..... cant play it :(

i use shield charge on swap, but the way swap works in here is... pain

So what about Tombfist with 2 Abyss Sockets?

Leaving bump here to try build later.

Tombfist are pretty decent, unfortunately we don't really benefit from Maim or Intimidate. 2 Abyss jewels is nice for life/flat/pen though. Though, if I was going to run an Abyss unique, I would probably drop Tombfist and use rare gloves with Bubonic Trail, 40% increase damage and getting a good pair of rare gloves is cheaper and easier than getting a good pair of rare boots. Lightpoacher is also an option.
