so according to this guide we will run 3 auras. is this correct?
purity, haste and hatred.

Yeap.

You can go the blood magic gem way or with mana leech way.
If you going the mana leech you probably wont have enough mana use IB, so just dropped purity (you wont be needed it anyway) until your reduce mana gets some levels.

yeah i have problems keeping up haste + purity + hatred with ib on mana leech.

i chose mana leech because i had easy access to mind drinker as i am leveling a witch (currently lvl 46)

ib costs 31 mana to use. if i put up all 3 auras i only have 60 mana left. then one miss and i am out of mana for the next ib swing.

i could run ib on blood magic but my life regen isn't very high and it's a long way to the nearest life regen node as a witch.

so i think the easiest way may be to increase the mana pool somehow. or drop one of the auras like you say.

resolute technique could be a nice skill to take. you can't crit anyway and with rt you don't have to worry about accuracy so you lose nothing by picking it up.

oh and i only do 1300 dps with all 3 auras activated. no idea how you do 2500 dps in the linked screenshot? you must have taken damage nodes to reach that damage?

My low level rings and amulets are rather good and I had Resolute technique since its a marauder and it only cost me 2 skill points to get it.

Use poe xyz is to buy 2 rings and amulet with flat physical damage. I actually got mine from quest rewards :).

Even with 1300 dps at your level, dont you one shot monsters packs?

Yes damage is fine. I'm just squishy.

I have been dying to those fire breathing dogs in act 3 docks despite having over 75 fire res. Is this damage really fire damage because i sure am starting to wonder why it's doing so much damage even when i pop a fire resistance flask.

I find myself with no life leech after switching to daresso's shield. I do have a potion that grants 2% life leech during recovery though.

poe xyz is a godsend btw.

Yes, but at level 1 anger adds 3-5 fire damage were hatred adds 15% of your physical (about 150 DPS)


so hatred > anger/hatred

Also this setup does not boost elemental damage so hatred is the way to go.

Does it make sense to lose 30% of my life for Hatred?
