Will you add which bandit rewards to take?

Answer for your question is in first post already. But if you really want it here then ...

Ok, first off you notice I only have 110 points spent. That's because I opted to help Kraityn and get the +8% to all resists, considering most basic All Resist nodes are +6% I considered this to be a very solid choice.

Do you guys know any uniques that specifically work well with this build?

Same question im wondering

I would guess one of these items would be good

Just take the time to peruse that, there aren't THAT many uniques and sadly no unique 1h axes


...but if you're REALLY lazy, then here's a few that might be good:
Carnage Heart... potentially?
The Magnate
Blackheart
Kaom's Sign
Sundance is sorta okay
Maligaro's Virtuosity esp with Twin Terrors and crit damage passives taken
Slitherpinch is sorta okay
Ezomyte Peak

Heya. Just wanted to say i love your build so far.. I have had no issues with this build and at no point have i come close to death until act 3. The ethereal knives guy hurts! But i killed him after getting a good spot to melee.

Here is my gear





I have one level to wear this. But do you think its worth it compared to my equipped helmet above?



Hopefully i won't die any time soon :P

Hey dude. Thanks for stopping by!

Few things. I went into the Marauder tree purely to make this build more tanky. The majority of this build is going to be from your Gems.

The 2% movespeed instead of the larger armor nodes. I just prefer movespeed in any build I make, I find movespeed to be in invaluable stat in any hack and slash game. There are pro's and con's to either side.

I am currently messing around with this build and testing various nodes.

I'm currently running Resolute Technique; because I had literally 5% crit chance I saw no point not to take it.

I will post this new build later tonight.

The total health of this build is actually quite high, the main problem I have ran into is it seems to be a fairly low effective health... Meaning I don't have much mitigation. Grace/Molten Shell fix that problem but I'm not sure if I'm happy with it just yet.

If any of you guys have a good build you want me to look at, please feel free to post it and if I approve of it I'll add it to the main post and get you guys some exposure.

Thanks for your input.

Well that I've already seen, but what about cruel and merciless?

Hi Sean,

I have my own build that i am trying now. It is simillar to yours with few little changes.

Current build (i am now moving to get US -> Berserking -> Ambidexterity and then blood magic followed by Blood Drinker):

LINK

Not sure should i take BIG "Leather and Steel" node next to US insted of 2x "Steel Skin"
As Steal Skin increases my base Armour by 104% (before Evasion being converted to armour i believe), getting "Leather and Steel" at 64% of both should be more beneficial? As my Evesion is higher then my armoru so this would be much bigger increase.
What do you think ?

However final build will have both so it might be just that my order of getting it is wrong. However if I upgrade some of my gear to have more armor then evasion then it will be good.

Fincal build is this:

FINAL BUILD

With few points to spend on either getting another stack of Frenzy (which i think is very strong DPS gain) or go into more defence/health nodes in maruder tree.

-------------------------------------

ps However i am having issues on Cruel now at level 45(just got IF) so things might get better, but not sure it it due to some crap items i have or just the fact I should not try to play areas that are my level or one higher then me.

hey guys im using this build but i have 1 question what kind of gear i need? i need life steal on weapons and armor and evasion or energy shield?

someone using this build can give some examples?


cumpz

how are you guys doing in cruel or merciless? i'm currently level 55 doing act 3 catacombs runs (monster lvl 53) and even with 75% cold resist and heat flasks that dispel freezing, cold damage really seems to fuck this build over. getting frozen and then beat on by 8+ spellcaster mobs is a total pain. i can survive it, it's just so much slower trying to mow through them than even just in act 2 cruel.

here's current gear:



with this coming up next:
