3.6 Changes
A few QoL improvements was made in the 3.6. Patch. The most noticable will be that Convocation now has a 4 second cooldown (from 8), and besides that there were some reductions of mana costs for the build's support spells. There's also a small damage nerf of about 9% due to changes done to hatred.

And nerf to leech affect Lgoh??

Afaik, leech != LGOH. I dk if they had changed whatsoever. Just a casual gamer here.

I think it's a great nerf. 10% maximun leech per stage of our maximun lifepool. Am I wrong with this?

As far as I am concerned LGoH doesn't equal life leech in any way possible. So as long as I am not mistaken right here you gain a fixed amount of life instantly through LGoH which is more like recovering instantly than leeching over an estimated amount of time. There is no real cap to that I think, other than scaling LGoH with stats on your items.

If I'm wrong, please let me know, because I am no expert =)

No need to worry about it. Life Gain on Hit is a different mechanic to Life Leech, and compared to Life Leech it is a very simple and straight forward mechanic. When you hit something you gain X life, nothing else than your life gained on hit will affect this number. You can go into a less recovery map and try this out. This also means that the soul of arakaali doesn't affect LGoH, but hey it can't have everything ;)

Tl;dr. LGoH isn't affected at all by the leech changes.

@Tahreyn Is it very important to have 100% poison on hit or are the 85% on the current PoB completely fine for our needs?

80%+ will be perfectly fine. Ideally you want to be as close to 100% as you can manage to easier get 40 virulence stacks on bosses, but I've played quite a lot with "only" 80% without any issues. If you have an open prefix on your weapon you can see about crafting up to 20% chance to poison on it, it is a craftable hybrid roll together with local %phys damage on weapons.

I personally think that % Life on Block Shaper Shield is mandatory. It's like night and day playing with/without one, especially in Delve, where it can enable some darkness delving.

It's a good point that it's while delving it comes of most use. Are you playing with a Cyclone or MS setup? When I was delving with my char I've always used Cyclone to move around in the darkness, and that gave me enough lgoh to do some serious darkness diving.

Hello,

I'm a newbie player i have only made one character and took it to lvl75 following a build guide
I'm thinking in doing this build this league. But i don't enjoy much leveling the early lvls. Do you happen to have any guide on how to faster lvl with this build? Also which of the quests i can skip each act.
Tbh anything you belive will help a new player overcome the learning curve.

Thanks guys.

Question about leveling pre-HoA. I tested this build out at the end of 3.5 and I leveled up with cleave till I started using HoA. Cleave till 16 would be fine but waiting to 31 would be less great. Any suggestions on leveling skills?
