General Discussion - Iron Reflexes for CI user? - Forum

Hey guys, Another semi-related question. If you go a similar build to this guy is talking (CI and IR) would getting the ES hybrid nodes (Body and Soul, Nullification) stack armor, or would they not stack like leather and steel nodes? Obviously, the ES would stack, but would the defensive stats apply separately? This takes you ALL over the skill tree, and might not be worth it, but I'm curious. Thanks!

Can a Darkscorn archer do enough damage to run high level maps? The damage on Darkscorn is meh...should raise it by some to be able to compete even just a little with any other physical bow.

Add a few armor nodes (like the ones next to unwavering stance) and you've got quite a bit of armor. With a granite you're practically a tank. Not sure how you are running those auras, at least with the 3 "must have" auras for any CI character that I think of (Purity/Discipline/Clarity). Granted, Clarity depends on what you want, but for an endgame build that can survive, especially CI, I don't see how you'd neglect Discipline and Purity. Granted, maybe you are thinking you can run 5 auras on mana alone, I was not certain if this is possible or not. Obviously it is possible running a Low Life build, but this is CI so... Please correct me anywhere that I am wrong.	Posted by cypherrage#6683 on Jun 21, 2013, 1:32:48 PM Quote this Post

Make a class and I will also try it out again. When I was using Darkscorn CI it wasn't pumping out too much damage. I also had no armor, so the 25% reduction wasn't too helpful at the time. Maybe with Grace, Determination and Iron Reflexes it would have been different, but right now I don't have the patience to try it again :).

Please correct me anywhere that I am wrong. If I recall I wasn't running Purity, which let me run Determination. I think the auras I was running were Discipline, Grace, Clarity and Determination? I could be remembering wrong but I did have to take some +% max mana passives and some reduced mana reservation to run them. If your resists are bad, you could possibly drop Determination and use Purity till your resists are good enough.
