Official Blender Post! Lets theory craft for 1.2! 123k Cleave DPS!
" Only thing about using Blood Magic gem with Cyclone is the desync issue. I can't even begin to count the number of times I'd sit there spinning on a mob that wasn't actually there, and murder myself with Blood Magic. Seriously 90% of the damage I take is from Blood Magic + Cyclone. However.. that still doesn't stop me from using it. Mandatory... not really. It'll just make life 200x easier. |

" This is why you would want Soul Taker when using Cyclone. Spinning mindlessly around Piety is scary. EDIT: Spamming /oos doesn't help either. You have to wait until it resyncs itself. Warband: IGN: Benko Last edited by Yuufe#4269 on Nov 19, 2013, 9:00:24 PM

hi im a poor noob and ive been reading all the post. what i still dont get is why people want to use the blood magic gem instead of the node. the node is only 3 pts away in the build. if u use the node wouldnt that free up a slot for another support gem for your dps?

Can this build reach 20k tooltip Cyclone DPS? Considering trying it out but I don't want to be running a weaker version of my Facebreaker.

" Because the stupid mana reserve for auras on your health is too great... even with the 40% node and a Reduced Mana gem linked to them. It could work, but you're sacrificing such a huge part of your survivability. |
|
" Just because they have the same name doesn't necessarily mean they function in the same way. The BM node might be viable early on, when you still don't need dmg/survival from auras. But in that case, you probably won't need BM since you melt enemies with pretty much whatever skills you use...that's why you don't see ppl use that node here (or anywhere else since it's so stupid right now). BM gem is used in this build only when 1. you're running 2 auras and 2. you really wanna use cyclone even if your mana leech isn't enough to sustain. |

" It can if you invest into more damage nodes than tanky. I am at 14k with barely any damage nodes and crap weapons. IGN: FVX

Have you ever tried full eva spec with blind instead of IR? As long as you get enough hp to not be one shotted you life steal and with blind have somewhere around 95% chance to not be hit. I was wondering if you know of anyone trying it in high level maps, im lvl 61 and it works fine but not sure how will do in later game!

" i'd prefer 75% evade with 60% damage reduction than 95% evade, which does less spike and better handling reflect. Also in mind that you don't have enough evasion to make it 95% with only a BoR and the ranged mobs that you can't blind immediately Master 8: All

Mates, how would work for a build like this? I mean we use hatred aura so we deal cold damage and that ring improves damage, but i don`t really know about shock... Can anyone analyse the potential of such ring on this build please?
