I'm ignoring it unless they say "whoops! That was supposed to be melee."

You're wasting a lot of stats on the Ascendancy. Life leech is hard to get for phys spells. Not sure it is positioned in the ideal part of the tree. Gonna need a lot of +INT depending on your supports/auras/curses.
I get why it's tempting and I like the ascendancy but it's hard to see it being a top 3 choice for the skill. |

" :) I've looked at every ascendancy for Reap - dunno if I'll league start it but I'm very interested in it. If I were going to do Slayer I would want to leverage the Brutal Fervor and Endless Hunger nodes using https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Cerberus_Limb To get leech from the initial Reap hit. That would be very nice sustain indeed. The other benefits would be reflect immune, stun immune, bleed immune, and you start next to instant warcries + remove an ailment when you warcry. Problem is your best damage scaling on the tree (assuming you want to buff the initial hit and the dot) is raw spell damage...and you're as far away from that as possible starting Duelist. Physical damage should be equal to spell damage but you can't really find that anywhere on the tree. Maybe with a couple phys damage large cluster jewels you could make Slayer work.

Why would you though? Thats always the question in this game.
I mean Hiero is providing lifeleech for spells as well. And if you grab that node, you´ll get 100%+ arcane surge effect so thats about 40% more spell dmg right there and mana regen for days, allowing you to go Agnostic and run RF for another 40% more spell dmg. Transfiguration of Mind would be at least 100% spell dmg plus whatever random spell dmg you´d get depeding on your pathing. Also stuff like Indigon triggered by Arcane Cloak could provide some 1k%+ inc spell dmg without even trying plus whatever amount of free EHP. And you could get 4 min endus for 16% phys dmg mitigation unconditionally plus ele ailment immunity for free. Without having seen any numbers in PoB yet this would be my initial approach. |

" Please don't. You won't be getting past 1M DPS with this travesty. You can get elemental / physical leech from influenced amulets and delve rings. I'm league starting with Reap and will make the most optimal version of the build as I can. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3079012/ Uploaded an awesome Exsanguinate Freeze Explosion build on the forums - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3508506

Will decide when there are actual numbers of this new skill gem and we see how big the hit damage vs the dot is.
Looks like a ramping skill with these dmg-buff charges, where you have to stand still to apply damage. Not sure if this buff scales both initial hit + dot but i would assume so. Masterpiece of 3.16 lore

" Very nice! TY TY for the insight! |

So spell damage is only is going to scale the damage over time correct for reap? Will have to scale hit/ physical differently?
