Thank you very much for explaining that I was lazy and didn't actually look at the mana values the clear mind is what was throwing me off, guess I'll switch to a rare jewel with immune to corrupted blood instead of the clear mind I spent 3ex on...

Or swap over to the wrath version! :D

Yeah I could do that but after dropping over 50ex on items for the clarity version I'm gonna stick with this for a little bit lmao

Hi mate, thanks for the build it's amazing...

while looking for a cheap corrupted blood jewel i found the "Spirited Response Cobalt Jewel"


what do you think about it? works fine for me with enduring cry

PS: for people you are thinking about playing the built, watch my equip. it's worth 40c and i run t15 maps with eas

I’m using that for my corrupted blood immunity as well. Seems like a solid, cheap addition until very late game when one of the core jewels with that corruption open up.

Hello, not sure if this has been said already, just wanted to point out something minor.

For the build labeled:
"END GAME POB'S

Wrath setup, no clusters: https://pastebin.com/PQEkJ5RR"

Near the endgame, having *two* 10 Dex nodes near the start of the Ranger tree to avoid spending *four* skill points going through the Life/Evasion small nodes does not really make sense. To free up two skill points in the difference, you give up 17% Life and 44% Evasion, but you're also spending two skill points a bit south of there in Thick Skin to gain just 14% Life (this build is immune to Elemental Ailments).

Keeping everything else equal, you can drop Thick Skin and the two 10 Dex nodes, and take the four node path through Life/Evasion, and you gained a free 3% Life and 44% Evasion.

I also have a question: how do you guys feel about the Survivalist node? Mainly for the increased chance to evade attacks, but the 12% all Elemental resists also alleviates some pressure on the gear (which has a lot of uniques).

Also here's my build:

Sorry if this is a dumb question or I am blind, but with the leveling tree, I do not see where you switch to blade blast and the setup after that.

The discord goes more in depth on leveling, you swap to bladeblast at maps.

I just finished acts and I got all of my gems and links but seems like there's more skills than I can use on the first set of bars. What should I do?


There's only 7 slots not including lmb but 9 skills

flame dash
bb
bf
sigil of power
vaal grace (we only use the vaal skill right?)
arcane cloak
enduring cry
vigilant strike
conductivity

i think three step assault will be good for this build, taking use of perma onslaught and phasing? thoughts ?

No resists. Going to be really tough to cap out resistances without the boot slot.

Also, no mana. That's a big hit to our eHP and DPS.

I'd pass.

My setup is:
Arcane cloak on move (LMB)
Vaal Grace on MMB
Flame dash on RMB
Vigilant strike on Q
Bladefall on W
BladeBlast on E
Arcane Sigil on R
Enduring Cry on T
Vaal RF on CTRL-Q

I also have regular RF and Wrath bound to the CTRL row, but I don't really use them except at bosses or the start of a map.

During regular mapping, I cycle through BF / BB all the time. Every few casts I do either Vigilant Strike to keep fortify up, or Enduring Cry for charges.

When I'm in Ultimatums, or anything else relatively stationary, I add in Arcane Sigil. If I'm bursting tough bosses, I'll also add in Vaal RF, but that's rare. Vaal Grace I'll only pop if I take a really nasty hit, to let me regen without getting tagged again. Probably the wrong way to do it, but honestly, just with the BF/BB/VS/EC I rarely see my health pool dip enough to worry.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I have curse on hit on my ring.
