norm - Oak
crue - Kraytin (Attackspeed is King!)
merc - kill all

- Belly of the Beast, Rathpith Globe, Stone of Lazwhar, Meginords Girdle
- At least 40% Chaos res on gear (+20% is coming from tree)
- 30 Dex, 30 Int on any gear slot
- 2% Mana Leech

3L: Blood Rage - Redu Duration - Cwdt
3L: Molten Shell - Cwdt // Portal
4L: Hatred - HoA - Red Mana - Leap Slam
4L: Cwdt - Endu Cry - Imm Call - Inc Dura
4L: Tempest Shield - Curse on Hit - Enfeeble - Red Mana
5L/6L: Reave - Multistrike - Fast Att - Melee Phys - Conc Eff // Added Fire with 6L
Switch: Purity of Elements (Ele weak Mod), Redu Mana+Vitality for half regen(or Blood Magic)

How do you roll maps ?
- 78 Alt+Aug+Chisel+Regal, 40%+ pack mod. 78 are not sustainable, dont waste your currency, just get the EXP and go back to 77.
- 77 Roll per Chaos till good iiq (80+) or 50-60iiq+ 40+ pack mod (magic, size). 80iiq+ and any pack size mod is an auto-go!
- 76 Any Alt+Aug, then Regal, if you have enough Regals available
- <=75 any 2 mods.
Note1: If you hit 2 pack mods and a low iiq(<40), start the map with onslaught! (77,78 Maps only!)
Note2: Don't complain about Mapdrops, its a lot RNG involved, but by doing it that way i can stay pretty solid in 77/78.

Mapmods/combination to avoid:
- Half Regen + Vuln
- -max + added l/f/c
- -max < -17 (-15% means 1.6 ele damage multiplier, -25% is a 2.0 multi)
- add proj > 2
- chain with 2 ppl

Mapmods and how to handle them (Im aware that i prolly didn't cover everything):
- half regen: This is one of the most dangerous one (Especially w/o Vaal Pact). Only do it if the Map is really good rolled! (Rest of mods are easy/packsize)
->drop added fire for Reduced Mana, drop HoA and add Vitality

- no regen: DPS killer (~30%), you will also loose constantly 4% life 'cuz of Blood Rage and +4% Block
->drop all auras: should be fine, if the other map mods arent too hard. If you dont feel comfortable, just reroll the map; BM is a very very rare map mod

- Vulnerability + phys reflect
->drop Melee Phys, add Weapon Elemental Damage

DPS/DPS with 3 Frenzy/DPS with 3 Frenzy + Atziris

Def/Off Tabs

Q: Can you descripe your build with few words ?
A: Solid, tanky, affordable. Decent clear speed.

Q: How much you paid for your gear ?
A: 6L and ~380 DPS Wpn are the most expensiv, rest of gear is just average. Means arround ~30Ex

Q: How much DPS im going to have with a 5L and a 300 DPS weapon ?
A: Arround 28k with max'd gems.

Q: Do you can kill all bosses (75+)?
A: No, skip Necro and Palace. Courtyard is fine, if you know what you are doing (Isolate the Leap Slammer/Cycloner!). If you like to facetank Piety in Shrine, dont do it with Vuln. Note: The Courtyard Leap Slammer can do up to 6k on crit..dodge it!

Q: Is Scion the best for this build ?
A: You can do Maurader, Templar, Duelist as well, but you will allways loose some Block at Scion start.

Q: Do you think this build is Atziri viable ?
A: Honestly, i can't really tell. I never had the motivation to kill her, since im more a map grinder. Is a swap to Saffels + flasks + 7k HP enough ? Yea, could be..

Q: How did you leveled up ?
A: LC + ST + Saffels. You can use ST till the end of merci and 67,68 Maps. Afterwards the DPS of ST is not good enough on a non-crit build. I made the final switch to 1h Reave+Rathpith at lv85. Norm, Cruel and a2 merc you can easily do with a 2H (Shiversting and Terminus Est) and ST.

Q: Should i go first for a decent Weaopn or a 6L ?
A: Decent Weapon. 200-250DPS Weapon, 5L, 280-300DPS Weapon, 380 DPS+ Weapon, 6L. Thats the order! If you can get it, you can even go for a ~500DPS. Would be still better then the 6L ;)..

Q: Why Atziri's Promise ?
A: It gives you back a bit life regen+leech (more surviveability) and DPS. Its perfect for the occassionally appearing Beyond mobs.

Q: Why blood rage and not the regen ?
A: Blood rage will change your 4.5% regen to 8% leech. If you are fighting, 8% of 20k DPS is arround 1600 life gain per sec (Note: Life Leech cap). Thats more then 4.5% of 7k per sec.

Q: Why this strange Blood Rage setup?
A: Im lazy.

Q: Wouldn't Melee Damage on Full life give you more DPS?
A: MDoFL is a CI gem, get used to it. Allways funny how some lifebuilds using it.. ;)

Q: Why this high level of IC and Molten Shell?
A: High damage bursts are the only thing that can kill you; higher level IC means longer IC and less time where these bursts hitting you. You also reaching the range, where IC up-time is bigger than Enduring Cry cooldown time, which is pretty sexy.

Q: Why Tempest Shield and Curse on hit?
A: Since you blocking more than getting damage, Enfeeble + Cwdt wouldnt make any sense. You can also use SoL with +1 curse and add Temp Chains instead of Reduced Mana in this combo. I'm just too lazy to make/buy one/throw currency at it.. ;)

Q: Why the additional buffer with Molten Shell ?
A: Additional buffer against reflect.

Q: Why dont you use a Lightning Coil in this build ?
A: LC will only bring your EHP against phys up, so no. We need enough HP buffer for Spell bursts, too. Belly is better for this.

Q: Would CoE be an option ?
A: Yea, it could, but only if can fill the gaps you loosing by wearing this helm.

Q: What would you change for a SC build ?
A: Thats easy: Switch helm to Abyssus. More serious: you cant simply make a HC build to an SC build, since the tree is designed for HC...but in generally i would drop lifenodes till ~5.5k HP and put them into damage nodes.

Q: Is Unwavering Stance necessary or can i safe the 2 points ?
A: Personal choice. You can save it if you like the "oh's" and "ahaha'S"..

Q: Is a top tier belt better then Meginords ?
A: Nah, Meginords is nearly a must for all 1H builds.. :P

Q: What you think about BoR in this build ?
A: Not so good, you loose so much DPS through limited gems (no q on FA and MPhys and FA is only 15?) + chestslot. I think its not usefull in this build. In best case, its an option till you have a 6L Belly. Also, the 50% Blind will reduce incoming attacks that hit you by only 12.5%. Note: BoR allways requires a build that builds arround it. You cannot just swap it in and hope it's going to work!

Q: How much Chaos Res you recommend ?
A: Not less then 0% else Blood Rage will destroy you.

Q: How many Untainted Paradise maps did you made ? Do you Group?
A: No and 0, solo 77/78 maps only.

Q: Do you use a log-out macro?
A: No, game is allready easy enough. If you need that shit you prolly need to think about your playstyle. :P

Q: Any tips if i engage Exiles?
A: Never attack Magnus, Igna and Minara without a Firepot up. :D

Q: Any tips for mapping ?
A: There is RNG. Don't do 77/78 maps if you cannot throw all your currency at maps (Means: finish your gear first!)

Q: Hey Asta, i love you. Can you sign my breast ?
A: I can, but please come freshly washed and perfumed. Thanks.
