I've seen it in other peoples builds to, just spotted this one that was taken to level 76:

Yet the other people in this thread are telling me to take every HP node possible. You're telling me to take every crit node instead of cold damage, but theres a successful build that was trying exactly what I was attempting with cold damage nodes not crit nodes.

I can guarantee that people running a build like that did everything from cruel difficulty onwards in groups. My error was trying to solo. If I go back to my cold templar and start playing in groups, I wont have any problem.

So really, the only advice that needed to be given was 'Play in a group', not 'Your build sucks balls lolololol'. Clowns and douchebags all around.

hes trolling you man. just stop. i was going to stop posting in this thread but i cant stand watching a helpful person get trolled.

I'm not actually get trolled, i got full knowledge of what i'm facing!
I just want to prove him wrong multiple times for the guys that think chaos damage or glass cannons aren't viable,but if you point them in the right way ,the can succeed!

Thanks for your concerns!

I can see where OP is coming from, -60 on a damage source is pretty insane when it's more rare then other resists, on the tree and on items. I wouldn't think making it half to -30 on merciless would change much, but it would be more fair.

Maybe, but in merci it come's down to,

1: kill them before you get hit
2: Kite
3: peak-a-boo

This right here is unbelievably terrible advice.

Whirling Blades and Flicker Strike currently cause you to die more due to creating desync. I have a recording of this too and it happens to my shadow constantly.

While I sometimes got desync on my flicker strike shadow(Invalesco's BOTW), it was few and far between - much more desync comes from the mobs using these skills then you. Such as rolling golems, flicker strike spiders, charging rhoas.

Using Whirling Blades defensively, as a GTFO skill with small amounts of usage here in there - I hardly ever get desync.
