[3.20] KissMeQuick's Slayer Reave: REBORN — T19 100% Maps & Mad Strong in Sanctum — Starter

How are you dealing with the blind from second sight?

is spell block not really needed since it is only at 25%?

or is it because phys dmg is harder to mitigate while spell dmg is "always" elemental dmg so it is not really needed to block?

Not because of the ascendancy changes but because block is just too available now on the tree.

Previously if you tried to create a block character from tree and items, you could never reach 70% without massive sacrifices - now that's not the case anymore.

More accuracy.

Spell block can be gained through shields as well but in terms of investing in it through passive tree it's not efficient.

Spell DMG isn't always elemental either.

This is rather disappointing. Apparently I assume this means that Glad has lost her identity...
I don't know how efficient the new node is, but if that's not VERY good, Glad is dead as a softcore build.

Hey KMQ,
appreciate your input on this nice build :)
Will you update your guide with the slayer version including leveling steps?

It's 30-50% more damage but there are 2 problems.

1) Rest of the nodes aren't that good
2) Slayer with all it's points provides more defensive ability and DPS

I was quite excited in the beginning that the build and class got buffed but it wasn't the ascendancy - it's the tree that got a lot stronger.

How are you getting Frenzy charges in the new Slayer tree? They are ticked in calculations but for the life of me I can't see where you are getting them from.

It's early and I haven't had my coffee so if it's obvious and I just missed it then I apologize.

Sword mastery but can also use Blood Rage for it or something else, not conclusive yet.

What build feels more smooth? This one or Reap one?

If the slayer is better, can you please make a POB with it?
