fiqst's Life Gained on Reave 1MHC progress report

Hi all, this is my very first hardcore character and is based on my standard build:

Life Gained on Reave Duelist

The aim is stack "Life Gained on Hit" multipliers and a mixture of attack speed and life leech to achieve near immortality.

This is the progression of the build from scratch.


Level 48






Tree

LGoH stats:


attack speed:

weapon attack speed = 1.72
attack speed modifier (with 3x frenzy) = +326%

attack speed = 1.72 * (1 + 326%) = 7.32 aps

LGoH:


+28 gem
+21 claw
+24 ring

= +73 LGoH

Life/sec:

+73 x 7.32 = 534 LGoH per enemy per second

x5 enemies = 2672 life/sec
x10 enemies = 5340 life/sec


Notes

Very easy progression so far. Very tanky, my health hardly moves, even while facing a level boss, an invasion boss AND a warband pack at the same time!

At level 28, i equipped this weapon:



A great weapon that served me well from 28-38. It has multistrike built in, perfect with LGoH. This is great since multistrike can't be equipped until 38.

At level 30, i was able to use:



Which turned my character superhuman. With both LGoH and MGoH, my character became totally self sufficient without the use of any pots, i was able to use 2-3 quicksilvers for added speed.


At 46, Lakishu became too weak and required an upgrade.

I acquired:



Which is perfect for this build.

So many strikes within one breath.
But only one strike needed, for certain death.

Level 56 and act4 cruel.








Notes
I had a lucky exalt drop at level 50 or so, and i was able to convert it to 37 chaos.

With the chaos i bought the Tabula for 15c and the claw (240pdps) for 10c

The beauty of Thief's Torment is the mana on hit. I am easily able to manage a 48 mana cost 6L reave with a small mana pool with the ring alone. A 3-hit multistrike on a single enemy recharges mana to full, and I'm able to sustain a constant reave on a single target.

Level 64 Act 1 Merciless






Tree

LGoH stats

1.68 aps
+347 as mod

+36 gem
+24 ring

898 avg phys damage from Bloodseeker
4.4% life leech
= +40 LGoH


Life/sec:

1.68 x (1 + 347%) = 7.51 aps

7.51 x (36+24+40) = 751 life/mob/sec

x5 mobs = 3755 life/sec


Notes
As soon as i hit Merciless i went about maxing my resists.

Got the bloodseekers at 62. These are weaker than other claws in terms of damage but the LGoH potential is much better, especially once i reach the Soul Raker node.

The potential for 80+ LGoH is there with Bloodseeker

level 70





Currently under resists, aiming to upgrade.

Tree


LGoH stats

attack speed:

1.68 aps
+389 as mod

= 1.68 x (1 + 389%) = 8.21 aps

LGoH:

+38 gem
+24 ring

1410 avg claw dmg
5.6% leech
= 79 LGoH

total = 141 LGoH


life/sec:

141 x 8.21 = 1158 LGoH per mob per second

x5 mobs = 5788 life/sec


Notes

I had a belly of the beast drop and i swapped it for the BoR.

Instant 25% more damage (and therefore more leech), and more life.

The problem was the loss of Goldrim and it's resists.

I had to risk low resists (40-50) for a time while i searched for better resist equipment.

LGoH stats

attack speed:

1.68 aps
+396 as mod

= 1.68 x (1 + 396%) = 8.33 aps

LGoH:

+38 gem
+24 ring

1501 avg claw dmg
5.6% leech
= 84 LGoH

total = 146 LGoH


life/sec:

146 x 8.33 = 1216 LGoH per mob per second

x5 mobs = 6081 life/sec
x10 mobs = 12k life/sec



Very stable character at the moment. I never use a life flask, thats how stable it is. Even in hectic moments battling multiple bosses, including beyond bosses and warbands, my character remains pretty solid.

The dps is a bit low but i basically have nothing but dps nodes to go till i die.


Current outlook:

The choice i have right now is to spend all future nodes on dps which benefits LGoH, or go all out life stacking and take BM as well, which could boost life to 7k+

Further ahead i plan to invest in a 6L Belly and more life in equipment.

Hi! First sorry for my bad english!, I like you build, I like to know the pregression of it and if you can kill hard bosses like Crematorium, atziri, etc with it.

TY for showme your build!
I'm sad to say i ripped at level 75. So much for being "unkillable" :)

I died because i was complacent and was playing one handed and didn't use flasks in a hardcore league.

I'll try to restart this character some time in the future but i'm a bit devastated and will be taking a break from PoE
