Sweet! Tell us how it goes :)

Phew, took a while to get the regrets and the gear, but ive finally a base and did the switch today:




Still working on getting better gloves, and i'll redo some of the flasks soon :)

Did 3 maps, didnt really have any frozen issues yet. I do however have pretty low dps, guess its because of the melee gem missing in the chest, and im not running cold aura (all out of chromatics, getting 3 red on the chest is a pain :X)

Trying to get 3 reds on the chest, which aint a simple task, but my leap slam does 2.5k dps atm with that gear and with Blood rage on.

I'll get the right auras soon though, but it wont get over 3.5k then i guess.

Does the Melee damage gem really do that big of a difference, or am i doing it wrong? :)

Turns out i could get frozen, so i got dream frags :P

Also got 3 red sockets on the chest + hatred, the leap slam has a 4k dps atm, still low =/

Any ideas? :)

Sweet gear, how much did you spent on that boots?

I went overboard with my shopping, defeats the purpose of this build IMO though (cheap gear build).



As you can see this still is WIP. Had to get 5l on that armor, and 3R 2B combo, (which proves to be very frustrating) the thing would just go all green most of the time). My saving grace is that helmet which I acquired very cheap and the gloves which dropped on me. I have maligaro (which also dropped) but I prefer aurseize for elemental resist.

I really had trouble finding a suitable boots, thus rainbowstrides provides a temporary stopgap until i can acquire a better replacement.

DPS wise it is at 2448 on tool tip, w/o BR and i think it didnt count on armor bonus. On that note does the armor bonus added to all the skills I have or just the ones that are inside the armor? Kinda clueless on that.

I see you put 2x melee damage on Heavy strike, interesting. Does it additive or the gems overrides each other?

My future wishlist:

2x Le Heups (40% more damage yum)

Hi midnightgem!

I have to say that your guide is very good, fun and it's like playing a war machine.
I've followed your guide in a couple of weeks now, and I took ideas from other who has posted in this thread about thier eqiupment and skills.

You can see my current gear/equipment here:



Right now Im crushing everything that comes in my way. I think my armor could get a bit higher, but thats something for me to work on in the future. Now Im currently farming experience to reach level 86 ( So I can get more ES nodes and a few mace nodes).


Thank you for a very nice, strong and fully described build. Very good job!

Regards
MrDumle

Upgraded most of my equips



This build is freaking amazing!!!! 10k Armor/6k ES (dont have the ES nodes just yet)/22 leech/18k heavy strike and 10.3k Leap slam

Thank you for this build! It shows it's true colors on maps with a full party when everyone dies and i'm left dunking

is this build viable with lowlife wondertrap and shavronne? ofc not using ci. Is dmg on full life replaceable?
and could someone do a step by step guide for the skilltree? wich way to spend my points

Question 2: Nope, I tried to substitute it with Conc. Effect, no dice. In the end you need Inc AoE to compensate.

I have been gone for a while due to IRL guys, sorry :/

Well it would be viable but there is no benefit other than the auras and wondertrap... That really doesn't outweigh getting chaos immunity and a shitton more ES.

And to Krilox. HOLY SHIT YES! Melee Damage gem is a HUGE boost to damage! This is because it gets multiplied by Concentrated Effect! Major, Major, MAJOR dps boost right there.

Also PRIDE, IKR?! My group was doing Coward's Trial yesterday without Detonate Dead for fun and we got to the last boss, everyone except me insta-died when he rezzed everything but I calmly leaped on his face for about 2-3 minutes straight and destroyed him lmfao.

hi midnightgem, thanks for your answer could you add a step by step Passive Point guide please would help me a lot or just tell me wich way to go first 2nd and so on
