You guys...I'm a noob and trying to run this build. I'm confused what weapons I should be using for leveling. The guide says to use Daggers or Foils but should I be using wands for leveling??

Just take a weapon with % Spell damage. At the beggining it will be wand/mace i guess. Dagger can have spell damage too but harder to find ( i don't even know if early dagger can have it beside craft ).


Hey thank you! Okay that makes sense. As far as armor is it better to go for evasion than armor stats?

At the beggining the only thing that matter is the socket slot ( mumber, colors and links ). It's mandatory to play, you need the right colors linked together to put your gem into it.

The defense of the build is from : Elemental Resistance ( the most important thing in this game so cap it at 75% when you can ) + Total HP ( Tree node %life + Max life on gear )+ Mind over Matter ( tree node ) + Leech ( the curse warlord's mark or a ring that can apply it on hit ) + Acrobatics ( tree node ) to evade/dodge + The fact that you freeze and instant kill everything so they can't touch you + maybe other thing that i forget right now.

The majority of the piece of gear will propably be based more on evasion or evasion+energy shield ( we don't care about energy shield by the way ) but this build don't realy stack evasion or armor or Energy shield ... that's not the primary defense.

You have to know that the colors of socket depend on the type of the gear and how many stat require to equip it ( STR armor gear = more chance to get red socket / DEX evasion = More chance of green / INT energy shield = more chance of blue ).

For exemple on a gear that demand 50 str and 50 int to be equiped ... the item will have blue and red socket on it and when you will use chromatic ( it's a crafting currency to make the colors change ) you will have "50%" of geting red and "50%" of geting blue socket and if it 75 str and 50 int, you will have a little more chance to get red than blue. It's possible to get green socket but it will be super uber hard and expensive or you can use crafting bench to make sure to get a green or 2 green socket for exemple using a recipe to help you.

So the gear you choose (beside unique item ) depend on the stat it gives to you ( + flat hp, % resistance etc ... ) and the potential slot colors. This build is more about Green and blue gem ( that why majority of your gear will be int / dex so evasion / energy shield type of gear )

Another day, another lucky drop:



Was using BV but Winter Orb is just amazing for leveling before maps so gonna stick to it till mapping.
is it viable to play this build non crit with EO ?
with EO i got more dps in pob.

what`s the point of going crit anyway since ailments are always applied cause of "shaper of desolation" ascendancy node.

i would be happy, if someone could light me up.
Trying to map without increased duration is honestly a bit cancer. If I replace one link with increased duration, which should it be?

I don't recall seeing INC aoe mentioned in the OP. My 6th link is Efficacy. Maybe I should replace that.

Otherwise I don't know how I feel about this as a starter. Higher rank Syndicate members absolutely delete me if they get a hit in, and sometimes I die to very random things in early maps. I've also died at least once because of the shitty duration on BV which is why I'm trying to figure out how to make it longer.
