whats the guidelines to using blood Rage? I seem to be losing A LOT more HP even with 13% chaos resist and regen well over 4% chaos dmg. I barely manage to survive with the life leach gem.

Alright so since I got these 4LS, making firetrap and poison arrow even better will rape even more. Plus I got a 16% FireTrap and a 7% poison arrow. I am loving it so far, had a few close calls but life on hit helps alot. Another question with LA build, is a 20% life leech better than life on hit? I do plan to tweak athenas build with a ranged attack totem, most likely something that does cold AOE , omething that can freeze, slow something. I had a shadow with LA, ranged atk totem with Ice Shot 20% and it was great with LMP, ele damage and faster atks for slowing them down and doing decent dps. The only problem I have is there is no life nodes for awhile and not many until higher levels. I put 4 points into life nodes early on, i can respec as needed with my free respec points. But I felt it would help and it did.

Glad your revising Athenas LA build, but try to put options like ranged attack totem. I was going to rewrite it but people think ranged attack totem is useless on a duelist but if you can afford the items with links its great, like 6L bow, 6L chest, 4L everything else you can do it.

I want a lionseye, im saving now. I need 13 more exalts. for a 5L, 20 more for a 6L but I was thinking about just getting a good Tri Ele bow instead because there are some insane ele bows out there.

I sold all my softcore items for exalts to trade for exalts here. I had a nice tri ele, i sold for exalts eventually. trolls offered chaos but in the end i sold it easyly.
