[2.1] **Kinetic Blursed** Twin Curse Low Life Wander (Unwavering Stance)

DISCLAIMER:
I also made a topic about this here and in Kaiserin's Wander thread found here: END DISCLAIMER.

Ok I had a go at trying to make a viable build for the low life wander in the 2.0 era.
The two main changes we have to adapt to is 1) Blood Rage will become very difficult to sustain + BM lost its low life attack speed bonusand 2) AA got nerfed and became a mana reserved skill instead of a mana drain skill.

So we lose attack speed and we lose defenses. We do get jewels however and some of them can get quite strong for Wanders and Aura's were buffed (which we rely on heavily).

I came up with the following aura setup (Anger, Wrath, HoI, HoA, HoT, Discipline and lvl 15 Clarity):

I have 90 mana left to cast than with currently a mana regen of 189 mana/sec and 1 attack costs 61 mana. This should be enough to sustain a few attacks.

I am still debating on the passive tree though, at the moment I believe we have two options, either we get high ES boots with resists and MS OR we use Lioneye's Paws and skip Unwavering stance.

The high ES boots build goes as follows:
(needs some more crafting)

As you can see we have to travel all the way down to Unwavering stance and don't pick up anything really great on the way there... It just feels inefficient in my opinion. However we get a nice ES boost from some 200 ES boots.

The second build I came up with was using Lioneye's paws with +1 level corrupt:

The build would look like this:


We can now pick up a lot more attack speed and ES from the tree but we do lose resists (mainly made up in tree) and movement speed. I'm hoping that one of the new movement skills (flame dash?) can be used with wands so we could neglect this...

I'm not sure on either, I'm looking for some feedback on this.

Not using Blood Rage - Enhance - Arctic Armour - BM anymore does free up a 4L. In here I would use either a 4L single target skill or a power charge generator (assasins mark COH) so we can free up a slot in our 6L for either crit dmg or faster attacks (5 off-colour shav).

The rest of my gear is here btw:


Without further testing my links would be KB + GMP + LL + WED + Pierce + PCOC. We migh switch PCOC for something else though as mentioned above.

I'm looking for feedback!

Hey there,
I rly wanna start playing this build when 2.0 cames out. I was previously (in 1.2, havent played in 1.3 at all) using Power Siphon, so I guess the gearing will be very similar.

I am kinda hesitating which version to play though (low life mana vs low life BM or even CI)?
Will this build be as it is now still powerful, or is low life getting nerfed to the ground and CI will be the way to go? Also I heard about something that BM will be able to run AA, could anyone comment on that?

I have very good (and time limited) opportunity to get a perfect shield for this build, but I need to know whether the spell damage modifier on it will be still desirable after 2.0 (basically if we still gonna use CoE). Also that would be for BM version, if mana will be better, I would need to get a different one as well (with mana reg.)

thanks in advance

(I posted this also on dime guide), need advice on this.

Well, I dont have any usable gear on SC anymore, but maikanafufaika does and is so kind and helpful to update this build with me for 2.0 Thanks for that, Cyrax! :)

Any feedback, constructive criticism or suggestion is always appreciated ofc. It is u ppl that keep this build alive ;)

As far as we already know Ele Reflect unfortunately is an issue again.
But that happened because this build got even stronger with 2.0 :P
Now you want to lower ur elemental damage output by replacing WED with Added Fire Damage to be safe in ele reflect maps. Phys Reflect is still no issue.

We just started working on the perfect tree, gem & jewel setup and gear, so this is going to take some days. But I think you wont be disappointed when getting the result.

As long as the update is under construction I'm going to kick out most irrelevant information from the OP so all u see there can be already taken serious.

I also kicked the Blood Magic section out of the OP. ddddddddddddddime already made a good job again which u can find here what I am very thankful for. Afaik it is solid work and flask spamming was also improved with 2.0

Those that already/still/wanna have the Mana gear, stay tuned here...

Cheers

^ Just wanted to say that physical reflect is much more dangerous than elemental reflect in 2.0 in my experience. Are you saying phys isn't a problem because you guys will include a cwdt + IC somewhere?

I'm not sure if cyrax had cwdt when we tested it today, it went just fine, really nothing to take care about. prolly the main benefit is the missing flat phys on Death Hold Rings.

Okay, it would help if you could get him to link his full gear and gems in this thread so I can compare why phys hurts me more than elemental. Do you know what % reflect map he was running? It rangers from 12" to 18% now depending on the map level.

Edited. I misunderstood something.

15%, we gonna do more exactly tests tomorrow and post results

gear is the same like posted on page 1

You are way more active in ddddddddddddddddddddime's thread than here. Passive tree for example not working.
Time to make some changes, so yalla yalla! ;-p

yea relax :D it is hard to update a guide without gear and I don't have much time ;) as I said some posts earlier, this is gonna take some days :)
ofc u can help if u want
