" Hello Wolferlmm. Yes, the guide is current and the passive tree works. Let us know how you get on. |

I saw this build a couple of days ago and decided to give it a try. Love the survivability, but since I am overpowering the content with unique weapons I am concerned about the dps end game.
Has anyone tried a Molten Strike, Lesser Projectiles, Melee Splash, variation? I think the clear time with 9 rocks instead of 3 and the melee splash will increase the dps and double effect on close in targets. That frees two or three slots for mana leech/life gain on hit/concentrated effect/fire penetration/added fire damage/elemental weapon damage/faster attacks, depending on the specific character's short falls or gear choices.

" Here are the test results from my molten strike testing on page 304:
Spoiler
All right folks, the results are in on Molten Strike.
reave - multistrike - melee physical damage - concentrated effect Average run time 6 minutes, 47 seconds Molten Strike - Multistrike - Melee Physical Damage - Faster Attacks Average run time 8 minutes, 21 sec Molten Strike - Blood Magic - Greater Multiple Projectiles - Multistrike Average run time 13 minutes, 49 seconds Molten Strike - Weapon Elemental Damage - Melee Physical Damage - Faster Attacks Average run time 9 minutes, 13 seconds Molten Strike - Multistrike - Melee Physical Damage - Fire Penetration Average run time 9 minutes, 26 seconds Molten Strike - Multistrike - Melee Physical Damage - Concentrated Effect Average run time 8 minutes, 32 seconds Conclusion - Molten Strike is fun for the early levels, but for endgame, Reave wins hands down, at least without modified skill tree and/or specific uniques to allow Molten Strike to catch up, which we cannot do as one of the core tenants of the build is to be relatively attack skill agnostic. As you can see, molten strike is very bad for endgame with this build. Perhaps some specific keystones like point blank and iron grip would improve it, but those are points that we can safely spend elsewhere by simply choosing more wisely. As far as clear speed, in my testing, you spend all of your time moving in between targets and very little actually killing, so 10K or even 5K (depending on gear) physical AOE dps with reave is just fine. Tested into relatively high maps. |

Im moving towards this build. Still need to find a decent weapon etc. Ill go for the reave 5-link if i ever find /craft one. Also got some work on my auras / mana gems. Well ill continue and see how my 1st ever PoE char turns out.

" Don't forget that once you are around 65 you might consider doing what most people would do, and trade a couple chaos for a white 5-link chest. Then you simply alchemy/scour/repeat until you get a life roll 80+ with a resist or two (not hard). |

Updated 6-link Research -
cyclone - melee physical damage - faster attacks - concentrated effect - reduced mana - added fire damage 4.87 minutes heavy strike - melee physical damage - faster attacks - increased area of effect - multistrike - melee splash 5.62 minutes reave - melee physical damage - concentrated effect - multistrike - melee damage on full life - added fire damage 5.67 minutes reave - melee physical damage - concentrated effect - multistrike - faster attacks - added fire damage 5.70 minutes cyclone - melee physical damage - melee damage on full life - increased area of effect - reduced mana - added fire damage 5.73 minutes 5Link from guide! - reave - melee physical damage - concentrated effect - multistrike - faster attacks 5.89 minutes reave - melee physical damage - increased area of effect - multistrike - melee damage on full life - added fire damage 5.94 minutes double strike - melee physical damage - melee splash - increased area of effect - multistrike - added fire damage 6.02 minutes 5Link - reave - melee physical damage - concentrated effect - multistrike - added fire damage 6.13 minutes molten strike - concentrated effect - faster attacks - multistrike - weapon elemental damage - added fire damage 6.85 minutes molten strike - concentrated effect - faster attacks - multistrike - lesser multiple projectiles - melee splash 6.99 minutes Comments: Added molten strike with splash and LMP per suggestion above - as you can see, terrible. Three new combos added in total, in bold text above. The data is pretty much lining up with my old 5-link combo test results. Reave 5-link combo still my recommendation. Can pop added fire or Blind on there if a luxury 6-link is obtained but not required. Cyclone is neat but have to flask a lot and can't really use auras. With BM gem it's not really DPS standout anymore with this build and not worth it. |

Hello guys,
This is my second time posting here in this thread. Today managed to hit 100 thank to Sovyn's guide followed from level 1 to level 100. Just wanted to pop by and give my thanks to him for this extemly helpfull guide which helped get to max level on my first characater. My next goal is to down atziri with this spec (probably with a few tweaks). My current gear with which i managed to level:
Spoiler
If anyone tried Atziri with this build it would be nice to get some pointers:) My IGN: Ghiaurul ; if anyone has some questions or wants to chat abt this build. P.S. Again many thanks for this guide. Extremly usefull for new players and still perfectly good for end game content. |
