Hi Shaarq

I'm leveling atm
Singletarget dmg is little bit too low but trash....rly nice
My Question is about the helmet enchant
what to prefer lightning strke dmg or better projectiles ?

Ls dmg for single target, additional projectiles for clear

Does the same point blank mechanic applies to frost blades, too?

leveling this build killing white mobs is fast but bosses take 5+minutes

yea, it does, but Point blank on fb is a terrible idea.

FB projectiles spawn at the primary target, and do not hit it. it only hits secondary targets with the projectiles.

ls single target isn't that great while leveling (no crit)

1) use a tabula instead of 5link and it should be smoother.
2) take out ancestral call at bosses.
3) or use MS for single target while leveling

So it doesn't work the same way, as in the range extension is not considered projectile.

What would be a good replacement to Ancestral Call against bosses?

it depends... on your current weapon i'd use added fire.

Hey. I'm just about to get to maps. and had some questions. ive gotten mostly all setup and all, was wondering since I'm softcore what options do I have available regarding gear/ tree etc. I would love some insight...my queries are probably dumb. but anyway I wondered if it would b worth to dual wield vs shield. Also if tempest binding would b guud if I could obtain it,or maybe a rat's nest or a stark. idk. Also if the impresence amulet for conductivity would b worth. Maybe even the new Mark of the Shaper. and on tree just off top of my head maybe invest in frenzies or some more attack speed nodes/proj dmg nodes. also if claws would b viable
idk been awhile since LS :)
any help is appreciated.

or maybe even a Choir of The Storm. sry lol I'm alt tabbed going thru act 10

also. just hit maps and changed out my thiefs torment. Now I'm running into mana issues. Any opinions? am currently lvl 68 so don't have shroud. or full gear really. Should I spec into mana leech? its around 5 points
