Instead of going for the nerfed Barbarism, I will now include the Inner Force cluster at 88, where previously I was waiting til 91. EDIT: I probably gained a small amount of crit chance because on 1.2 I don't have the last shadow crit node under Assassination. I currently have 1 point in a +30 int node, but with the int +20 I'm getting from Sanctity + Retribution, I will no longer need it. DEGRADED Went from ~165% inc life down to 147%. With Barbarism I could get up to 155%, but with the nerf I think IF is a much more valuable investment with this build. The templar illuminati triangle nodes are very attractive, but this build already has so much damage I don't really think it's necessary. My goal for level 90 will be buying or chancing a Voll's D, then VP. Gear-wise, besides Voll's D, my priority is to craft an end-endgame dagger that includes 60%+ spell dmg, 20%+ atk spd, 30%+ crit chance, 1% LL w/ Lightning . At the time of posting this I was not aware of the change to how fast cyclone hits, so after some playing I found this build with Berserking and different starting nodes to be closer to my original dps. Still only at about 4200 life without barbarism though.

I'm coming back to this build now. I got a vagan dagger now and a bunch of extra crit gear from ST build, so I'm going to see if I can rework my gear to include more life/dps. Maligaro's is a nice fantasy but I just don't see it working out for life/res. Still really need a voll's devotion to kick the build into super saiyan or whatever that dbz shit was.

Hello, Why you don't take phase acrobatics ??	Posted by chocho56 on Dec 29, 2014, 5:33:56 PM Quote this Post
It sits behind too many points. The tree is too stretched to make it work with phase acro unless lvl 95+	Posted by SlainerOfNoobs on Dec 29, 2014, 7:30:15 PM Banned Quote this Post

Yeah, it's possible, but I don't know how good it would be or how it would work... Anyone tested this? Seems to me that one Discharge would eat up all the power charges, leaving the other with none, right?

I'm running a vagan dagger now and hitting every time completely makes up for the lower base atk spd, crit chance, and spell dmg. From this To this The dagger makes a huge difference in crit/sec vs rare and boss mobs. It also allowed me to spec out of berserking and starting atk speed nodes. I now have spell damage and barbarism, which makes up for the spell damage loss on dagger and brings me up to 4,464 hp. http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgAABLMFtQx9DkgPqxB_EZYWvxo4Iuoj9iT9JpUnLyj6KU8qCypNLagwfDWSOuE8BTwtPydBh0rIS1dM_02STeNQQlFHUUxTNVVLXfJh4mNDaPJuqm-ecFJwVnDVcql2rHcHfVt_K4KbgseDCYV9hxOJ04w2jX2Nv5AbkFWSfZhvmK2aE5o7m7WcpKIAoi6mV6xHrY2vbLGQtfK3PrfWwGbA48M6xPbGnsauykrPftQj1orYvdtZ29TcI-Fz5c_nVOjW6hjsOO988B_xs_JF9zL56P4K_o__3g== Edit: DING lvl 90 last night :D I am working on that damn voll's devotion, then will be switching out of accuracy gear.
