ill help Martin out here. The Helm he is referring too is called Malachai's


By Equipping this helm you gain Blood Magic allowing you to activate aura's socketed in other armor slots (i.e chest/gloves etc) at the cost of reserving hp.

One activated and hp is res you may remove the helm and see that the aura's persist while still reserving hp, you now gain a mana pool as a result of removing the blood magic helm and are free to use your mana pool to activate %reserved aura's such as purity etc.

through taking the reduced mana reservarion nodes in Martins skill tree he is able to run additional aura's which he would not otherwise be able.

imho - with AOE skills like LA, Life on hit is better - more hits, more life leeched, plus, it recowers life instantly.
tho, with single target skill, i use lefe leech - have noticed that i benefit more in that case.
It's an good looking build, but I have to wonder if it would be slightly better if you started as a duelist. You don't go much north of the ranger in the tree and many of your nodes you pick before getting close to the Duelist start can be replaced with the Duelist nodes. Also you pass by Unwavering Stance without picking it up, which seems odd since you picked up Iron Reflex. So you get rid of your evasion, but don't pick up Unwavering Stance?
A new video up. Switched personally from LA to Rain of Arrows. I do not recommend you to do this yourself.

hey Martin,
watched your new vid, im curious about your dps on ROA. mine is around 1.5k with the 7 aura's but with a thicket bow with IAs (1.7aps) im killing myself casting ROA w/o leech. Sitting on 3.5k hp all res capped.. any suggestions? i considered switching to maybe a harbinger bow with less aps but the damage loss is significant.
and how much int do you have? im having to take savant nodes to keep up with the req for wrath (lvl12) and ele weakness (lvl 11).. should i switch to proj weakness over ele weak as ROA is primarily phy dmg?

Thanks in advance,
Archon

hello guys!!
i'm a new guy starting out in hardcore, and i'm aiming for this type of build, but i would not like to use blood magic. Do you think, that a build like this would be viable without it? :)

\o
I tried this build, worked good, but now i have a question, single target dps, i don't have elemental hit yet but i guess with all this elemental nodes elemental hit > frenzy?

asking this now because i don't wanna waste bandit reward on frenzy charge when i can get pasive point (i know elemental hit with max frenzy charges is probably top dps, but i really dont wanna keep frenzy up with elemtal as my skill bar is to crowded even now)

any opinion on this would be appreciated
