What curses do you plan on running if any?


Tbh I'm not sure what offensive curse would be best, projectile weakness, or elemental weakness or fire resist curse...

That said I will probably use only one curse, enfeeble or temporal chains for more survivability due to being in beyond HC ladder.
Your build looks very interesting!
It works with a Unique I had never seen.
I ran some numbers (Excel freak here) and this scales a bit poorly in the end, due to its very low base damage, unless you add serious speed and serious flat damage.

I was playing around and a 700 strength setup with iron will and all that will grant easy over 1500% inc dmg.
This is great but for the very low 40 DPS the staff has as a base, it is not enough.
Flat damage is mandatory, but still falls short (3500 phys DPS base) with some gear.
Cut some damage nodes, added some speed nodes (you REALLY NEED WRECKING BALL!) and jumped it to 5000 base DPS.
There is one problem.
To make this work, I can't avoid using:

Abyssus Ezomyte Burgonet
Level: 60 Strength: 138
Adds 40-60 Physical Damage
+24 to all Attributes
150% increased Critical Strike Multiplier with Melee Weapons
106% increased Armour
46% increased Physical Damage taken

This duplicates this staff's damage but also 40-50% more damage on you.
This looks very interesting and since my previous guy died yesterday, I may start a guy using this staff today. As I mentioned, will take speed nodes instead of damage nodes.
Will also make it based on EVASION instead of armor, to mitigate the drawback of that helm.
Really... on a 40 DPS weapon and 1500%+ inc build, you NEED that helmet!.

Will follow this tree - 120 point Staff STR/DEX balance


Tree Stats:
+323 to Strength (potential 500+ with gear)
+273 to Dexterity (potential 450+ with gear)

Defense
+275.5 to maximum Life
137% increased maximum Life
6.3% of Life Regenerated per Second
+50 to Evasion Rating
64% increased Evasion Rating and Armour
178.6% increased Evasion Rating
+24% to all Elemental Resistances
13% additional Block Chance With Staves
40% Chance to Dodge Melee
80% Chance to Dodge Projectiles
30% Chance to Dodge Spell Damage

Offense
260% increased Melee Physical Damage
57% increased Attack Speed
140% increased Critical Strike Chance
25% increased Critical Strike Multiplier

Will keep you posted on progression.
Thanks for planting the seed!

Progression updates:

Level 13 - The wield of the Pillar

Link: Molten Strike (5)- Added Fire Damage (1)
Auras: Hatred (1)
All gems at 0 quality.


Notable gear:
The bread and butter of the build. Bought this for as low as 1 alch!

With 0.68s attack time, and low phys dmg multiplier at low level, this amulet is totally OP!

All other gear is Magic/Rares I had in stock. Nothing extraordinary.

Other info:
502 life
22% phys reduction (65 Arm)
47% Evade chance (295 Eva)
15% average res

Level 24 - Herald of Ash

Link: Molten Strike (7)- Added Fire Damage (5) - Life Gain on Hit (5) - Melee Splash (1)
Auras and Heralds: Hatred (5) - Herald od Ash (1)
All gems at 0 quality.


Notable gear:
20% quality and 4L on a weapon I will not change brings me peace of mind when it comes to not having to worry about links and socket colours!

Having 85% mana reserved, and no Int nodes at hand and I force myself to using an Elreon Amulet

Other info:
836 life
38% phys reduction (314 Arm)
46% Evade chance (541 Eva)
35% average res

163 Str
119 Dex

Interesting take!

As my initial post states, it's true you will need lots of flat phys dmg, since I play beyond HC, i opted for Bringer of Rain helmet instead of Abyssus, both have nice flat phys dmg, I also have 2 rings and amulet with flat phys and meginors girdle :)

And quick look to your skill tree, to me it seems you are wasting lots of points here and there, and you dont take 30 str nodes (which are biggest dmg nodes for this build), also you dont take templar hp/str nodes, they are huge too! :)

I am not that rich ^_^
BoR costs more than all my wealth combined (I played for a total of 3 months ever, always in HC leagues).

My guy is started - Kung_Fu_Stick!

Yes, it didn't fit. GGG doesn't let me take 160 passives, like I Wanted.... hhahaa
It will need some fine tune... but I have time. I expect to die 3-5 times before level 40 anyway before I understand what is more relevant to get in the start.

Haha, that's the spirit! Best advice is, take HP nodes, travel to them since you get dmg from normal str nodes too :) when you have lots of hp first, it will become easier to get levels later and get dmg then :)
Good Call.

For a combined price of 2.5 chaos managed to buy the 3 cheapest PIllars on the market.

All itemlevel 60+

Also got a 40% inc damage taken Helm for 5 chaos that was already 4L.


Now I have a total wealth of about 4 chaos!
MUAHAHAHA!

Added a Progression update at the bottom of my initial post on this thread. I am not hijacking your thread just offering a Str/Dex balanced alternative to your pure Str approach.
