I want to ask, I'm follow your guide and i lvling with Infernal blow (cause one of my fav skill) and u use what weapon in order to boost attack with Infernal blow?

sorry for my bad english


i used a good one handed mace that i dropped (something 140% physical, 15% attack speed, and crafted physical 10-20 physical) and a scaeva that i dropped too.

i did not wanted to invest on anything so almost all my gear was SSF. it was okay on T6-8 maps, nothing special about it since the tree was highly underoptimised for this skill.
if you can get some good maces like Callinellus Malleus or doryani's catalyst (i did not wanted to specialise into any type of weapon to be able to use what i dropped), you can take the mace nodes too, they are powerfull.

i have a pretty decent build that i've not shared here that use IB as an endgame skill (it's good enought for guardians and maybe shaper but it's not cheap). i can link it if you want to play IB until late 80s lvl.

i see you tried with warlord mark, does it help ? i also saw you don't have %life on your jewels, try to get some, it's really important ;)


Warlord's mark didn't make any difference when I used it. I was doing shaped port. Clearing up to the boss is super easy but I couldn't kill the boss because I was taking more damage than I was leeching, and that boss doesn't do a savage hit as often as other bosses because of the aoe. In comparison, I was using Whispering Ice before this and was able to easily kill that boss, but my clear speed as WI is not anywhere near Dark Pact.

%life on jewels + 2 damage mods are expensive, so I just decided to fill out the empty jewels with damage mods until I can get around to replacing them. I might just need to keep leveling these gems before I attempt it again.

(more or less, it's not 100% accurate as i've not written down what i got exactly at that moment)

the boss of port did not felt great for me either, i've not tried shaped port thought, i shaped other maps (courtyard as it's my guardian map provider since i aim for twinned boss), maybe it's a tricky one with this build, i'll buy one to see how it goes.

give atziri promise a shot it could be enought in addition to health potions.

Atziri + Warlords and some fancy footwork allowed me to kill the boss.
anyone tried using DP below the recommended lvl 80? I don't really want to lvl to 80 with another spell. Currently lvl 53 and am clearing rly fast but bosses are a problem when I don't get a savage hit and I am using warlord's mark.

can you link the guide here? IB very interesting to use XD

The skill tree is kind of a mess and is rather inefficient. Just at a quick glance, the very start takes the Melee Damage and Life path... for 3 points you're getting 16 life, 16% phys damage and 20 str. Considering you immediately go down to grab Warrior's Blood, it'd be much more efficient to instead go the life & armor path at the start of marauder for 2 extra skill points, giving a total of 46% armor, +16 life, 17% life. For 2 extra skillpoints, you're getting 46% armor and 17% life, at the cost of 20 str and 2 skill points. If you really wanted that 20 str, you can shed some 5% life nodes, like near Constitution, toss 1 of those into +30 str Might and you'll still come out on top in terms of numbers.

Dark PAct take 6% life per cast how much +% life leech u have do u get life back when u hit 1 mob?


leech come from the berserker ascendancy, you get 1% leech all the time, 3% leech if you have killed recently and 100% life leech if you have taken a hit that removed 15% of your life recently.

1% against one mod balance the life loss of dark pact casts, 3% get you more life than you use, and 100% is just full life on every cast (when it matters, against bosses). two casts usually destroy a whole pack in the T11-T14 i run the most, even with mobs life mods.

Hi, i really like the build you have made. Could you please maybe give a breakup of the leveling tree at certain points because im very confused as to which order to take it. Also we have to heavily re spec when swapping to dark pact..how much regrets will this use?..sry im new to the game but the leveling breakup would help me a lot..thanks and goodluck.


i've not written down how mutch respec i used, but i would say 25 roughtly. with the respect point you get from quests, it should not be a big concern. but respec are difficult mechanic when you are new to the game, and we are talking about a skill that remove your life to kill mobs, and i'm using bloodrage too that you have to take off when the situation require it. this is not hte easiest build to make when you are new to the game.

early on, it should look like this :

at this point, you should be able to respec (you need lvl 66 for the gloves that are mandatory)

for the video request, i don't have experience with video editing, but i'll try to do something so you get more faith in the build ;)


May I know why we need to add points to avatar of fire? I am currently 42 and added a point into it but it reduced my sunder dps by half.
