About intelligence i was more thinking about Enfeeble+Wrath that requires 151 at lvl 20, maybe you just keep them at ~100 int ?

By the way this build is really fun, pretty cheap and efficient !
in my opinion it only requires a Perandus+Lazwhar+1 mana leech item (thinking to Slitherpinch or earlier Wurm's belt) to start rocking :)
then multistrike is the the (lucky or "expensive") key point when you start to feel like a beast
- best in a 4L item with HS -
this gem was maybe one of my best investment since i'm playing PoE :)


I stopped leveling wrath and enfeeble pretty early on due to the intelligence requirement. I also run wrath on blood magic so I don't want it taking too much life.

Sounds like you are on the right track for gear selection.

Best of luck out there.

After 3.5 weeks of farming I've finally acquired a Soul Taker. It cost me 28.66 ex and an Aegis Aurora.

I played around a little bit searching for which attack to use, and soiled my pants with Infernal Blow explosions on elemental reflect mobs. I've settled down for Dominating Blow/Increased Duration/Multistrike/Melee Splash on my Bringer because I don't have to care about any sort of reflect, the raise undead guys can't raise mobs because I control them, and the mob of mobs act as a meat shield for me so I barely take damage. It does a lot less damage than Infernal Blow, but the pros vastly outweigh the cons imo.

Wow, congrats friend! That's some persistence.

The Soul Taker pretty much enables that combo (due to mana draw) - pretty amazing what it can do.

first of all - nice guide and help thread
secondly, i noticed in the second post your current gear that you have very low elemental resistance - did you change your gear or are these low values enough for standard league?


As mentioned above, we are in a great position for resists.

I'm capped in merciless with that gear believe it or not. :)

Self found makes things interesting for sure.

Coldresist is only at 52%
Fireresist is exactly at 75%

the map prefix "Freezing" and the map suffixes "of Balance", "of Elemental Weakness" and especially the suffix "of Exposure" seems pretty risky for me

i don't wanna nag over you build/gear, its just as a hardcore player i need max resist and some buffer-ressit on top to play as safe as possible
Guys, I'm at level 73 and people are starting to hate me/I am getting annoyed from the knockback on Heavy Strike. Can I use glacier hammer instead? :o

If you need it then get it. it is not a problem of the build but of your gear.

I have full 78% with purity up in this gear
current gear



don't mind nonexistent BoR, using this gear to farm some currency, i have 166 iir,
and yes i died a lot with low life build, but it was worth it =) i get tiered of repeating things, so have to shake myself sometime.




so if you want you can get resist caped, and be tanky enough to survive in any situation (almost any), and you have good speed in map clears.

i dont have problems with map prefixes you posted.

PS: sorry for my bad english.
ign Bester, Godlymen, boomwiz, in game from 10pm till 1am most of the time (GMT).

You can use any attack skill you want, this build isn't picky in that respect. If you're using an axe/mace try Infernal Blow. If you're using a sword try Reave.

What about double strike?

Edit: using a sword

I've heard of someone using Double Strike, go for it. Really the only issue with attack skills is if they do enough splash/aoe to be useful, or if you have to link it to melee splash and use up a linked gem (or run without splash, but I'd rather watch paint dry than do that). I like Reave because it has built in aoe, so you effectively get an extra support gem instead of most other skills where you'd link melee splash to it. You can get one in two minutes: make a Shadow or Ranger and go kill Hillock, and you get it in town.
