6 points is not "far away".

I decided to try this build.
Its my 1st crit and 1st Ci build.


Im playing ambush. I love the damage, but Im having problems with freeze... It happens so often by any kind of cold damage.

What are options? Running uniq ring the whole time, as theres cold most almoust everywhere?



P.S. GGG Hates me, 2000 chromatics to get RRRGB 5link

So guys, im going to buy an amulet... theres one with like 6% life leech.... and crit.

would it be better to use the life leech on the amulet + a nice diamond ring?

otherwise i would use death rush + the amulet the OP is using (could choose the version where theres more ES instead of WED lol)


what you guys think? which combo is better?

If you're so soncerned of it - yes, ring. Or helm (which can give you chill immunity as well, with several nodes invested). There are two helms for that.
Also, you can use Corrupted gear pieces with certain mod (avoid freeze), combined with same nodes.

First of all, many thanks to Atlas for this awesome build, and all you guys writing your ideas and improvements here. If you love playing a melee based build, you'll find this build a gold medal worthy.

Just wanna share here my current level 95 tree, gear and playstyle. Hope it helps too for anyone looking for a beautiful endgame shadow Atlas based. If u have some good ideas to help that shadow become even better, please share it!

Perhaps i miss something, but what is Atziri's Promize flask for? Isnt it for those, who deal CHAOS damage (while we do physical/cold)?

P.S. I wonder, why do you still use Maligaro's Virtuosity with all that bulks of mirrored gear. You probably should make new OP insta-leech gloves your №1 goal.

Because that flask ADDS extra Chaos damage based on x% of your physical and elemental damage, and provides an extra leech chaos damage based.

My DPS raises from 147k to 178k when the flask is on. I think 31k of extra chaos damage and 1.2k chaos leech based damage (10% of chaos damage leech from the flask with the 40% vaal pact effectiveness) is quite good...

And yes, the Uber Atziri gloves... sigh... always in my dreams...

How does this build compare to a flicker strike build in terms of clear speed damage and survivability?

Hey @CHUCA79 nice gear !

However got a few questions to ask you.....

So because of CWDT's 66% less dmg or lvl below, we can level our curses above the gem level correct??


Also I really like your idea with cwdt ... i might actually copy that, instead of having to cast blood rage physically.


However, what do you think about death rush? Would u rather have carrion braid over death rush + another mirrored amulet?


And do you always keep dream fragment on? Why not just have a flask that dispells frozen/chilled ? This way we can use dream frag occasionally against really OP bosses, while using death rush for added accuracy / armour/dps

what are your thoughts?

PS: what is your crit chance, and do you recommend to keep pcoc in 6th link if we are using the ambusher? (for lack of crit chance)

Hi bowen123 and celidion

Up to the player's playstyle. Flicker is faster, but if you don't want to to smash the table with the mouse 4 or 5 times each day... just take the reave option.

Yes, you can link a curse with higher level than the CwDT requirement if you want to use the curse as a standalone gem, even taking the benefits of other suport gems linked too.

I use to cast Blood Rage myself, but I know a lot of players using the CwDT + Blood Rage combo. It works quite well.

Tested Death Rush long time ago, but not with this build. In any case, I think a ring with accuracy + damage can be cheaper and more effective than Death Rush. I was using this before my Dream Fragments choice:

But... to each his own.

Of course, the flask choice is optimal. But as I wrote, I'm a brute player. Wildebeest style and always trying to get my left hand free to pick my nose.

My crit chance is 80.1%. If your crit chance is near that value, you can keep the PCoC supporting your secondary attack (Whirling Blades is the best option for me). If not, maybe you must include PCoC as a Reave support.


I hope it has been helpful.
