I'm a new player and I really like your build, but there are two things that confuse me in your guide.

1) You use the word "dodge" in your guide when your build technically has no dodge. I think what you mean to say is "evade", because dodge and evade are two different things in this game.

2) I don't understand how you can have a "75% chance to dodge [i.e. evade] attacks" when you have Iron Reflexes in your build. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Iron Reflexes convert your evasion chance into armor, meaning you effectively lose all evasion chance (down to the 5% minimum)?

Blind. Blinded targets have a 75% chance to miss. Over 10 attacks per second with blind = permablind on targets.

How bad of an idea would it be to do more of a hybid with this build? I have some really good ele dmg w/ weapon gear I was wanting to utilize. Was planning on keeping a majority of phys dmg nodes, but grabbing some WED as well.

erm, bump.. I wanna use

with this build, but I know ele dmg isn' the most favorable mod with the current build.

That is probably the best ring ever... seriously.

As far as the build working for elemental, I would say no. So much of this is focused around doing physical, it would only hinder itself.

That being said, there was always Duelist Elemental Cleavers running around before launch. Don't worry about any physical nodes (unless you have to get them), get attack speed and weapon elemental damage.

I did a 2 second mock build, Kinda have a boat load of ground to cover.

There is probably a better path of take around the middle area, but like I said I just threw it together.



Please don't use my build as anything serious... doing 10 things at one right now and am probably overlooking a lot of stuff.

Awesome, that's kind of what I was going to try. Here is what I threw together:





I still want to use soul taker and probably a good ele sword or claw. Hopefully it won't differ too much from original build. Do I not need RT? I won't have much accuracy. I forgot about the lava lash node, would be nice to have.

Hard to say how it will work out. If you end up getting that new elemental axe, you should melt face. I notice you didn't pick up too many resist nodes, but from the looks of that ring I'm sure your gear can cover the rest. If not there is the 12% resist node south of Duelist, and a couple 6% right next to where you pass through. You also didn't get Ice Bite, which may not be that big a loss.. depends on how much ice damage you do late game. But since hatred isn't the best aura for you, it could probably be passed over.

As far as RT.. its one of those things you'd have to decide for yourself. Yes... its nice to always hit, but since you're doing elemental damage, the crits for status effects would be pretty awesome too.

Yeah, should be good on res:



Guess I could play without RT, but I definitely don't want to stack a ton of accuracy. I'm right next to ice bite, wasn't familiar with passive tree so I missed a few things, but I'll pick that up. Dyadus off hand Soul Taker main.. hrmm






***********EDIT************

I had a 70 something Mara that had a respec so I figured I'd try it with this. Sadly the build was intended for LA and I got HP, Atk Spd, Frenzy Charge... if I can ever go back and change those I will :P Anyway, here is my current passive... I'll work down to Lava Lash and Blood Drinker soon. I'll fill in a few WED nodes and -maybe- crit... probably stay RT though.

Passive Tree


Some gear is from other toons, just threw it together.

Really nice build, trying it out on an old character who was a blood mage pre nerf.

Is it any good to socket blind with a spell and cast when damage taken till i can afford BoR? I thought i can socket a 4L like this: Cast When Taken Damage + Molten Dhell + Blind + Endurance Cry?

Blind is a attack support gem unfortunately, so you would have to link it to an attack rather than those gems you mentioned.

I have personally tested a little with molten shell and power charge on critical, and there is no proc.

What is the best alternative to the bringer of rain and soul taker until we get enought to buy those?

Thank you for this awesom guide. I do about 48.5k dual strike now with a lvl 17 DS gem. HP = about 4500-4700. Also i did not skilled the +resi points (i have max resis with gear) and skilled some axe points insted. I never thought, that it can be so easy and save to clear lvl 76+ maps alone with only 2 auras (i had 5-7). Before i used your build too, but with about 2400 HP i had a big life problem and sometimes i died on high maps.

Here is my Tree:


I skilled 2x30 INT because of my lvl 20 Enfeeble. Need some scourings to downgrade it ;). After that i can use 2 other dps passive skills (2x 4% aps or so or perhaps some more phys dmg skills!?)

Here is my current gear:



Thx again for your hard work and sorry for my bad english.. its not native
