So I'm running a Lioneyes Vision as a pseudo 6 linked, for the pierce(Raider). However I'm thinking it would be better to run a 5-link Perfect form and drop pierce and instead just rely on the +2 pierce from the amulet. Clearspeed might be lower, however survivability would improve dramatically, which is the main weakpoint atm. Opinions?

Also is there a reason Vaal Grace is not mentioned in the PoB or in the thread? Forgot about it until I saw Am1l from the previous page having it in his build.

• Your life is WAY too low (if the 3.6k is accurate). You should aim for over 5k.
• Lots of people have been recommending all these unique items in this thread (Darkray, Haemophilia...) but the reason I didn't have them in my original PoB is defenses. Neither of them have life and you're just building into a glass cannon if you go that way. That's a valid choice, but you can't have everything.
• Make sure you are aware that you are mixing Point Blank and Far Shot. This is fine, it just trades your top end damage for better coverage.
• Stay in sand stance if you are having survival problems (if you're not already). Flesh and Stone in sand stance is one of the best defenses out there.
• You have 2 curses equipped but don't have extra curse anointed. I would get an amulet with Whispers of Doom anointed (or one you can do it yourself). Basically your mark-on-hit ring is going to override any vulnerability you cast right now.
• Maybe aim for a tree more like this at your current level and find the resist/stat gear you need to make it happen: https://pastebin.com/0RagTFKC. Probably drop some uniques for life+resist to make it work.

If PoB is correct, when I pop my Jade flask (with 100% increased evasion), I'm showing 95% evade chance. Is that even possible? On top of 75% dodge? Evade has no cap (or 95% cap?) How does that translate into the real game?

Now I just need more than 3.5m damage.

EDIT: https://pastebin.com/PVGxv07K in case you need it

Evade is capped at 95% yeah. Evade Chance in this game is entropy based rather than true random like Dodge is, so 95% Evade Chance means every 20th attack will hit you (and can then be Dodged/Blocked still). Capping Evade Chance on Raider is pretty trivial, especially if you're running the Blind from Flesh and Stone Sand Stance.

Thanks for the explanation. Further question - the one, every 20 that hits me, do I still have a 75% chance to dodge it?

Quick question, to all: Any worth in getting the LARGE Thread of hope and picking up both Swift Skewering and Blade Sovereign? Seems like those nodes would be pretty good to have both. Thoughts?

I think that's definitely worth considering. Blade Sovereign didn't exist when I played this build and made the guide, so I don't have a sense of how valuable it really is. Downside is you have to drop some health, which is a precious commodity.
