Now that you are mapping, you gotta upgrade your bow. 172dps I think is not good enough. Other than that, I think you can get more movement speed & HP on your boots and get a better ring to replace your Prismatic Ring. It was also about this time I upgrade my bow when I noticed the jump in mob lv from 62 to 66.

Usually, dropping a Decoy, Conductivity, than rain LA on the group usually works for me.

Can't see your tree now as I'm at work and my iPhone cannot support.... =(

I'm using Elemental Weakness... I should start using Conductivity then...
Do you prefer a decoy totem instead skels?

Conductivity at Lv 1 gives additional 10% to shock. With current build, that's 30%. Once shocked, damage is easy. But must have good attack speed to make use of the shocked window period.

I use Decoy because I prefer to gather all mobs at one location to better make use of LA's AoE effect. I can always recast Decoy to move them as I wish with faster casting gem support.

Yeah, I was leveling one 16% that I found... but wasn't in use...

I will use it now.

Hey guys. I'm looking at modifying Build #1 to stay out of the Shadow area and pick up some extra nodes in Templar, including Inner Force. The idea being that you eventually drop the Blood Magic passive and instead use Blood Magic gems, thus enabling aura use.

Modified Build #1

I'm thinking that Inner Force + Auras > the Shadow passives.

Thoughts?

ETA: A variation on the above, dropping the area effect skills for more max mana.

Modified Build #1 - More Mana

My problem with running totems is the need for Red and Blue sockets on my evasion gear. e.g. running totem+skellie+fastcast means I need RBB which is just such a pain to get. How do you guys get around this?

Decoy only need 1 red slot. =)

Has anyone tried running Blood Magic gems in LA, and frenzy/Elemental hit, in order to run some of the % auras?

You need a 6L for LA+chain+weapon ele damage+lmp+loh+blood magic, and a 6L is really hard to get and without bl gem u can add Faster attacks.
And u need regen mana for your bear trap after

I get that some DPS is sacrificed in order to put the Blood Magic gems in place of something like faster attacks, but can that dps be made up with with hatred combo'd with Inner Force. As it is now I took WED out of my 5 link LA in favor of Item Quantity, just because I felt like I could lose some DPS on it and still be effective.

Another question about running the BM gems that I am running into is would I have to use a BM gem instead of Reduced Mana to go with Anger Wrath and Grace. I don't even want to know how many hps I would end up losing if that was the case.

All in all I know I can't have everything I have now while running BM gems, but there is some gain to running BM gems as well. It seems to me like the extra auras may be worth it, but at this point I am just theory crafting.

There are players who have tried. I have also explained in previous post. Players who have tried replied that to sacrifice a gem slot Blood Magic over a Damage support gem is not worth the loss of DPS. But survivability did increased tremendously.

Even with 6th slot, you may want to
LA > LMP > Chain > WED > LGoH > Added Chaos/Fire/Ice/Lightning Damage or Quantity/Rarity Gem
Elemental Damages scales with your WED affixes on gears.

Having that 6th slot for situational flexibility or strictly Blood Magic? What auras and benefit you intend to run on Mana? Only you can decide since its your flavour.

To anyone has the similar question like mine above, i was given the opportunity for a full respec (duelist buff patch) and had tried the above set up.

I'm able to sustain 6 auras. Wrath, Anger, Grace reserve off my hp pool, hatred, haste and determination on mana pool. (using the spidersilk unique exploit)

I noticed my survivability skyrock at the expense of damage. In the end, i switched back to Petrov set up which i think, the damage is good while maintaining significant defense. the reason for lower dps is i had to switch faster attack for blood magic for the above set up.

Anyway, if you can afford the regrets, no game trying it out to convince yourself which is better.
