Was thinking to get Carcass Jack as armor.

I am trying to go for a self caster with life nodes, quite simple yeah. If you have more ideas for it please comment below and I'll work on it.

Edit 1: Edited the tree, added more crit nodes and possibly removing some nodes at Shadow side for even more crit nodes. Once I've all set up, will make a full guide if it works out. Will keep you updated.

Edit 2: Update the skill tree and added base stats.

!UNDER COSTRUCTION!

Why not grab Static Blows? You are right next to it.

Taken now, thanks. How does the passives look so far?

what do you think of using crit with Storm call? there seem to be a lot of crit nodes near your path on passive tree

Yeah that is one option, but the thing is, either you will have to leave some DMG nodes out or health to grab those. Still brainstorming a little and see what is the best way to go. Will keep ya updated.

Edited the tree, added some Crit nodes. So far 90 points used, could leave some DMG nodes around at shadow area and grab more crit nodes, for example the 'staff crits' all the way up Witch area.

I understand the fact that totems are better than self caster, but I hate totems, no jokes lol. Don't really find somebody doing the job for me fun, so I'd rather cast myself and be the Zeus, god of lightning.

That said, trying to make a selfcaster, totems being better or nawt, this is what I want to play. Thanks for the idee though and good luck with your build. :)

Thanks you too , i was self caster then i switched to dual totems since most of my time i played as dual totem spork , its not that bad for me.

Nice, thanks for tuning in.

Will calculate stuff later today and maybe get the possible gear + gems on the topic.
