thanks for looking at it.im totally planning to go for dual curse.
For the jewel.when i dont use it im missing like 70+ strength for warchief or warlords mark and other str gems.already picked those 2 30str nodes. any ideas?
divine yea just had it in for the remove bleed.i know i can get it on a more useful flask..was lazy

Look at Lifting's build. He has a level 13 Warchief. You don't need to level EVERY gem to 20. Warchief requires way too much STR to max level for this build. You've already invested a lot into STR nodes as is. That jewel is awful and would be way better as a rare jewel. I personally used CWDT PCOC Firestorm instead of Warchief Totems because Power Charges drop too often with the shield setup and they are way more important than that totem.

It really doesn't take any time to switch out that Divine flask.

thanks, i upgraded my stuff a bit.
about the str:im ok with dropping warchief or reduce level.but i also have to use a 13~ warlords mark which means 15~% reduced aoe radius on that gem.Or is the aoe overwritten by the aoe from blasphemy?

Hey thanks for the great build, decided to level this up instead as my main character, and having a blast with it! Saving up currency, can someone GC and see where I should focus my next big upgrade? Better belt, ring, amulet, 6L Regalia?

Gear seems fairly solid. All of the potential upgrades you've already mentioned. You will feel a 6L more than other upgrade but it's also way more expensive. You've put a lot of points into damage so you should definitely consider some ES nodes by witch instead of Throatseeker. Not a fan of Kiara's so I'd recommend using a Chayulas/Valyrium instead. I recommend using Blood Rage for free leech, attack speed, and frenzy charges. Put it in your weapon or shield so that you can weapon swap to disable it. 4L Warchief Totem is pretty pointless imo so so you can drop a few links on that to fit in Blood Rage. You could also try out Death's Hand and see if you like it more than the shield setup. If you do then ignore the damage loss from the tooltip as it's wrong.

Yes you will have less radius. The extra radius isn't that important.

P.S. You should definitely roll freeze immunity on your Quicksilver instead of movement speed. Blessed Orb your Armageddon Grasp ring while you'r at it. Blood Rage is really nice as well, so I recommend fitting it in if you can.

yea thought about that freeze immunity ,had some shitty situations already.done that now ;)
i will try blood rage,but i also have some mana reg problems.less recovery maps or no recovery maps are hard if i dont hit something to get it back,which happens.And like you already said its hard to keep the power charges up...

You can fix the mana problem with any amount of mana leech on gear. I recommend getting it from a jewel or gloves master craft. This way even if you run out of mana you can still punch things to get some back. Another solution is to swap a mana flask for your Quicksilver for those map mods.

Your main issue is that level 19 Ancestral Warchief totem. It's forcing you to use Efficient Training which is converting 50 INT to STR. This is lowering your mana pool/regen and energy shield as a result. You can easily get 50 STR on a belt. In fact you can get 85+ STR with a Heavy Belt.

My solution for power charges was to replace the totem with CWDT PCOC Firestorm. There are a couple bosses with Thorns where this will kill you if you don't turn it off but in general it keeps the power charges up. PCOC Orb of Storms is another option if you cant afford 3 links. Death's Hand is a 3rd option. Adding PCOC to a 4L for your shield charge or whirling blades works. Dropping a power charge might work too but it's not a great idea.

Thank you for the input, I took your advice and fitted in blood rage in weapon, MUCH smoother. I think I will take your advice on the Chayula as well. What would you recommend, Eye of Presence? Im thinking Eye, not point in Presence, right? And on that note, what would be the best corrupted craft here, +1 power charge?


N.B: I need attributes, as my STR will be too low if I do not get that, even with the STR and DEX nodes in the tree.

Presence does nothing for this build. It's for Lowlife/Shavronne builds that actually need the chaos resistance like my Necro Aurabot. Eye of Chayula is too expensive this league to look for a corrupted one. I think ideally +1 curse or a power charge would be best. Attack speed and max res are fair options. I would personally stick with 16 stats.

Thanks for the quick answers, optimizing build as you are writing :) what flask would you recommend replacing Kiara's with? Rumis?

It'll have to be a normal flask to get Freeze immunity. I recommend a Quicksilver, Stibnite, or Granite.

P.S. Based on your links I would recommend PCOC instead of Conc in your shield charge setup. I would also replace Melee Phys in the weapon with something useful. Possibly Culling, Blind, Portal, a Warcry, Flame Dash, or Lightning Warp.
