im sorry but where does it say what bandits you take?

Bandits are in the linked skill tree.

Do u think 40% crit chance with max power charge is a bit underwhelming with this build?

I get about 66% with my charges, and adding a diamond flask bumps it to around 88%, which is plenty. :)

Can this build kill most guardians and shaper easily as well as do most map bosses/mods?

Currently level 75 with this build and it is overall decent but I feel like the damage is subpar compared to a physical blade flurry build that utilizes poisons/bleeds.

Has anyone tried?

I'm guessing it is impossible to reach this DPS:

using this build?

yea i have this one

Vinktar with spell damage won't be as good as added lightning damage one for a dps boost.

I see the ascendancy nodes taken, but is there a certain order? Thanks.

I was gonna ask that too, but then I just took the crit chance ones down the middle, and il get power charge last

Personally I would recommend:

Unstable Infusion
Deadly Infusion
Ambush
Assassinate

I would like to know what links people are using and why.

Currently, my link order (by priority) is:

BF (duh)
WED (MORE damage)
Elemental Focus (MORE damage, but does mean we can't shock without Vinktar's)
Lightning Pen (MORE damage, effectively)

So then it gets a bit complicated. For 5L...

Added Lightning (This is adding ~1,400 DPS in my HO).
Increased AoE (I do not use this. With temple and witch AoE nodes, I have found it to be sufficient. I also have BF enchant on helm from UberLab (12%) but I've only just got this and it was fine before. I am not sure IAoE is necessary).
Concentrated Effect (Argus mincer only, really).
Faster Attacks (again, like IAoE, I don't think this is really necessary. With attack speed in gems, I am currently at 5.05 per second and that's good enough...will get better next level with another gem).

And for 6L...

LL (lose Warlord's mark, but gain mana problems)
Increased Crit Damage (this adds 1k dps in my HO if used in 5L; added lightning seems better).
Increase Crit Strike (can't see this being better over Crit Damage).
Concentrated Effect (with IAoE in 5L) - two gems for ~20% increase AoE and ~60% increased Area damage...worth it?

So my preference currently is, in order:

BF - WED - EF - LP - AL - ICD

What's yours?
