Since we're talking about 6L at the moment, I'm pretty sure a 6L DS setup can cap LL from Blood Rage alone single target, not to mention aoe. Faster attacks would deteriorate your life sustainance, making you spend more hp per second to cast it.

Honestly you should be able to cast DS purely with mana, negating this downtime. I am a huge advocate for NOT using a BM gem as I think that a small node investment + a little mana on gear and 2% leech is more than enough to cast DS with. I am using a BoR 7L and I cast my DS purely on mana without any problems. It only ever run out on boss fights where I sit still and spam away on them, and with 1 hybrid flask it is basically endless mana. When I start using 2 auras the flask probably won't even be necessary.

I have never used Blood Rage. Does it work well if you not invest in any chaos gear?

It works OK. You really want to be able to offset it as much as you can with life regen/chaos resist gear. Even getting 20-30% chaos resist helps a decent amount and is quite easy to get.

any advice would be appreciated guys, thank you very much.

This build doesn't benefit from elemental damage at all so your rebuke is gimping you big time.

Is it just the Rebuke? I have it equipped currently because I had nothing else but I cant imagine it decreasing my damage extremely, what else am I doing wrong? The Skilltree is like 90% the same with a couple of int nodes taken that I can easily swap later on but currently need because of the auras. I have max resis except of chaos and 2.5k life but still cant manage to do some serious dmg/surviving on my own. Why jesus? Why are you doing this to me :-(

Your HP is a bit low but not too awful. What are you having trouble doing? You should be able to farm Piety easily with your stats, I was with worse gear (found BoR from her!). Replacing the Rebuke with a good 200dps phys 1h is probably a good idea and will only cost 1-2 chaos.

Edit: Are you not using Multistrike with Dual Strike Melee Splash?! It's literally the best support gem by miles for it. Then again your cyclone should be fine as is for Piety farming as well.

Should i get mana flows for early mana problems??

Marauder can catch the dex requirment of swords in higher level?

I'm still using it at level 75. It's awesome.

I'm currently level 19 with DS/MULTISTRIKE/MELEESPLASH, and i'm finding it hard to clear areas since i run out of mana 24/7 any tips?

Having been in your place just yesterday, you probably don't need to link it w/ Multi and Splash at level 19. The mana multiplier is really high to handle then. Put them in unlinked red sockets to keep them leveling without the mana cost. Personally, I used Reave for 99% of mobs in Normal, and waited until Cruel when I had more mana leech to link them together. It worked fine for me that way.

So.. I have a BoR but no Soul Taker. Should I be ignoring Cyclone and just DSing?

Try them both and decide which you like.
