My stuff :

As you can see, I use leap slam to generate endurance charges and move around, it's a great setup that removes the need for a low level cwdt. I still have a high level enduring cry with my cwdt setup, just to get an extra second or two if immortal call goes up when I have no charges.

I have something like 5,3k life, 18,5k dps, 20k+ with frenzy charges, but I usually don't bother with blood rage degen. Vaal pact makes it rather safe versus reflect, and this is without using my curse.
Yes, I don't curse. There's just no need. But it's still very nice to have it, when facing double ele reflect or stuff like that. Flasks + warlord's mark = no problem.
Get Vaal pact guys, I don't see any reason not too (regen kinda sucks imo) !
The belt may seems weird, but I kinda enjoy the reduced damage from critical, I also got some from the tree, so crits do 50% less extra damage. Pretty good when you have to be melee range. A good rare rustic sash would probably be better overall, but I have yet to find one.

Also a bit greedy...
You're not taking the life start just to avoid the 1.8% regen node?
I'd probably invest all points in life from now on.

I love regen. Simply love it.
I don't even need life leech (and don't need the gem, too) with my ~500 life/sec.

Dude I play torment, of course I'm greedy ^^ I planned to respec to the life start endgame, I am still trying to figure out what would be best. But so far I feel safe enough (as in, I don't die. 2 sec freeze after opening a box on my toaster ? Not dead. Double ele reflect in yolo mode ? Still not dead...) that keeping damage seems reasonnable. But I agree that in the end, the armor+life is more worth than the puny 30/40% increased dmg.

I guess instant leech vs regen is a matter of preference, but weren't you that guy that has to play safe vs reflect in the other marohi static striker thread ? Because once again, with vaal pact, you wouldn't have to. 500/s means shit when you hit for 10k 2 times a sec in AoE...
Edit : although I guess it makes more sense in bloodlines since you have to play safe either way..

Also, question to you all who have taken the 5% to inflict status ailment. Did you find that it makes a big difference ? That's the last point I took, and I'm really not convinced... Considering I could respec all the point to get there to fi the scion life wheel, it doesn't seem to bring much to the table...

Yeah, it's a bloodlines thing.
I play very carefully, don't jump into crowds of monsters or hit monsters that I haven't judged (do they have reflect? What's their BL mod?)
And I hate not having regen (full life all day), maps with desecrated/burning ground without regen are annoying as fuck.
I don't play ele reflect maps, it's simple as that.
Normal ele reflect can easily be handled.

For the shock alone:
Not worth it.
You won't even notice.

For shock + HoT + Curse on hit + Conductivity:
Totally worth it.
It's like a "perpetuum mobile", once it starts rolling (and you really only need the 5% for this), it doesn't stop and gives sweet bonus damage.

Noticed you don't get IR in the tree, why not?

Because I don't use the Grace aura.
And because I only use Armor gear.

So why would I spend 5 skillpoints to turn nothing into nothing?

I thought there was a big gain in possible Armour when you use EV/AR pieces over just Armour pieces, probably not worth the 5 points if there isn't.

To gain Armor, you would need 3 armor/evasion prefixes.

+armor
+evasion
+% armor&evasion

Unfortunatly, +maximum life is also a prefix.
So I actually don't want to wear such gear. ;)

So there is no real gain from IR. And even if I would wear some Evasion gear, I'd still not invest 5 skillpoints for a little bit better armor rating. ;)
