Enjoying the build so far, but since they moved Glacing Blow in the skill tree, should we still try to take it or just abandon it ?


I would abandon it.

Overall it would make damage incoming a lot more smooth, but the cost to reach it is too high now, except if you plan to level higher. (4 extra point for direct route)

have you played this build in any of 3.12 yet?


No, I started with Glacial Cascade selfcast and failed so bad, that I rerolled within the first 24 hours of the league.

The new build was an Ignite Divine Ire Trickster, which is amazing for map clear, but I didn't manage to get boss damage up.

Now I am rebuilding it to Armageddon Brand.


Overall I would have started with Dark Pact, if I did not have a bet with a friend that was: "Do a league start with a non poison, non chaos and non blade vortex build."

I'm struggling with this build right now. Damage output is ok but defensively it feels fragile vs big hits/spike damage. Been 1-hit killed vs t16 bosses nuff times now. I have 7k combined Life + ES which I would have thought combined with MoS/Bone Offering/Glancing blows would have been pretty solid but it doesn't do anything for single big hits that get through. I'm not used to playing builds this squishy where any mistakes in a boss fight means your head gets caved in.

By the way, you took Hex Master instead of Corruption in your tree ! (on the top)

I took a quick look at your character and it looked so far relatively solid. (except for cold slightly under cap)

I can't help you with the 1-shots, as I never experienced those problems last league.

The only thing that massively annoys me is the lack of "Chaos Damage leeched as Life" on your equipment. (or amulet to be specific)

This can be a big boost against stuff that does high damage, but doesn't directly 1-shots.

Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful.

So there're life nodes and life on gear. Why does the tree have chaos inoculation?

He put a Timeless Jewel nearby that transforms it into something else. I forget what exactly.

Is it worth it to get Assassin's mark?
