Probably better in the long run though, it's a great idea. Perhaps with resistance jewels/new resistance mods on shields and belts, it could be done.

Yeah will need to do some testing, as you say you are dropping 6 points and a herald vs dropping a ring slot but then I've seen stz drop Blood Rage altogether so we'll see :d IGN: Chundaziri 8/8 Ambush/Invasion Complete - 21/06/2014 8/8 Warbands/Tempest Complete - 10/08/2015	Posted by Chundadragon#1131 on Jul 12, 2015, 9:34:30 PM Quote this Post
IMO the new blood rage isn't worth running or adapting to. Low ass leech, shit attack speed, 25% chance to get a frenzy charge and ridiculous degen. Just get attack speed on jewels and run haste. #1 spirit shield - #1 ES/all res diamond ring - 6T1 ES/WED/tri-res rustic sash mirror service http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/989804 twitch.tv/steezbattalion IGN ddddddddddddddddddddime	Posted by stzbttln#2928 on Jul 12, 2015, 11:28:45 PM Quote this Post
Frenzy charges got a buff though. In a party it's going to be pretty bad unless you have the top dps; you're never going to get frenzy charges. Playing solo it should be fine. I'm not ready to give up blood rage yet; it's hardly minmaxing dropping a herald for vitality and spending points on zealots/regen, but I did say with level 4 enlightens the chances are you can still run the same auras + vitality. There's not really any other way to get frenzy charges besides poachers mark - no one has the time or space for that though. Also, still have to solve the leech problem.

Someone mentioned using the blood dance boots. Gives pretty much the same chance to get a frenzy charge as blood rage, if you want frenzy charges this much. This build only ever had 3 though. Maybe have cwdt setup with IC and poachers mark. #1 spirit shield - #1 ES/all res diamond ring - 6T1 ES/WED/tri-res rustic sash mirror service http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/989804 twitch.tv/steezbattalion IGN ddddddddddddddddddddime	Posted by stzbttln#2928 on Jul 13, 2015, 12:04:45 PM Quote this Post

This build only ever had 3 though. Maybe have cwdt setup with IC and poachers mark. Maybe; but you'd be losing equal amount of points to get down to unwavering stance so you don't get stunned. I doubt I'd play this build at all if I had no stun immunity. You'd definitely gain damage through all the other benefits blood dance gives, though. And not be running like a snail with lioneyes. With zealots/3 charges and blood dance you'd also regen 3% ES. With 4-5 charges you'd not have to deal with blood rage degen anymore. How about both?

Has anyone given any thought to running this with Blood magic again? Last edited by gGrimace#7422 on Jul 16, 2015, 5:42:38 PM	Posted by gGrimace#7422 on Jul 16, 2015, 5:42:28 PM Quote this Post
even worse than mana based	Posted by lycean91#4612 on Jul 18, 2015, 1:13:51 PM Quote this Post
" lycean91 wrote: even worse than mana based Why do you think that? If I had to make this build work again, it would definitely be a blood magic version. More auras, empowered, more leech nodes, can do half regen/no regen/blood magic map mods (since maps are harder to sustain now, gotta roll them hard mods). #1 spirit shield - #1 ES/all res diamond ring - 6T1 ES/WED/tri-res rustic sash mirror service http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/989804 twitch.tv/steezbattalion IGN ddddddddddddddddddddime	Posted by stzbttln#2928 on Jul 18, 2015, 1:18:34 PM Quote this Post
