My curent items.


My legacy items.

Hey man. You changed your build order slightly, taking 3 points out of the 10% armor. I had already put them in but now I can't seem to take them out, even though the life % passives are connected to the same str node. How do I get around to removing the armor+str nodes?

Remove any passive move it to shield block, i used 12% hp passive for it, then remove 3 armor passives and place 1 poit to 12% hp and 2 to get armor master.

Thanks a lot. I just rolled a 134% dragonbone rapier finally. Trying to get Kaom's but it's hard on legacy :/

could you help me out with a ranger dagger build? I know I can't use cleave which sucks, but any ideas to make it work?

Theorycraft
Adders touch, Night stalker Mind drinker, Arcing blow keystones, all ele damage passives near AoF, some crit chance and damage passives, max mp regen jewelry ideal is x2 4 linked item with 2 red 1 blue 1 green sockets
and Lightning strike+increased crit damage+weapon elemental damage+lesser multiple projectiles on it. But better use witch for it.

Ok thanks I will try it out with a few classes and see what I can come up with. Good to hear lpm works with lightning strike. So get the weapon elemental damage boosts but no aof?

I'd rather not get it, cold mobs are scary enough as is. and have two other aof characters. I would like to dual wield, but if I get all those passives, I can't get extra dual wield crit and damage, so I could trade off the weapon elemental damage for that. but dual wield would be worthless for LS anyways. Is there another way for me to have decent aoe as dual wield daggers without the elemental weapon damage bonusses?

Another way to have decent aoe with dw daggers is x2 80% crit chance daggers, increase area passives, all frenzy and all endurance charges passives with chaos inoculation and blood rage+enduring cry+discharge skills.
