Blood Magic Gem

Wish I were able to do a search function within a thread, but since I can't I am hoping someone will help me.

How dangerous is not getting unwavering stance this in nemesis? I doubt I will have a Soul Taker and BOR anytime soon. Is this build still somewhat safe and defensive?

Also, while leveling, there has been one mod that is hitting the crap out of me. Its the Volatile guys and I am wondering if people are using bear trap or some ranged skill to take them out?

Okay just wondering, based on his current gear he is using a lvl 1 cast when dmg taken, which only supports gems lvl 31 or lower, but all his other linked gems are over lvl 31

how does that work exactly?

That gear is just outdated. Not a prob, try adjusting it yourself.

I rarely get stunned without HoO. The only mobs that can actually stun you are those that Charge. I actually just holding right-click and Dual Strike them to death(let Multistrike(Auto-targeting) + Melee Splash(Waves of damage) kill them) and yes most of the time they couldn't even reach me.

And you won't get stunned with Cyclone.

so basically any gem that has lvl requirement higher than cwdt will not work/?

also what did u guys get for merciless bandits and why?

misunderstood, deleted.

Read Cwdt description again..

"

This gem can only support Skill Gems of level x or lower

Cwdt is a support gem that only supports Skill Gems linked to it. Lv Requirement of Cwdt won't effect Support Gems linked.

You can link lv20 Support Gem no prob.

dumb question here, why do we add the resolute technique node on the passive tree?

allows you to ignore the acc stat entirely and crit is pretty ignorable unless you're focusing on it. The base damage you get from critting is 150% and your weapon crit is going to be between 5-7%, meaning it rarely procs and when it does, the damage boost is minimal. The build is also primarily physical damage whereas crits (ignoring damage boost) only gains significance from elemental damage. (cold crit = freeze, lightning = shock, fire = burn).
And even if you do have high dex, you're not going to be much above 90% hit rate at best

so basically the positives heavily outweigh the negatives

Do you have to be dual wielding daggers, claws, or swords for whirling blade to still work...or do you need to just have one equipped? Wondering if whirling blades will still work with soul taker or not, and if you are locked into swords only if using both whirling blades and leap slam?
