In the witch tree, look at the top left hand corner. "Whispers of Doom" is what you want to get in order to run double curse.

Thanks , should I try to reach it asap or should I focus on ES first?

Get it ASAP. It was a game changer for me. Then grab your ES after.

That being said, I hit 90 with this build. 10.2es, res' overcapped, 3.6k tooltip in HO with only auras and golem. Spent HUGE amounts of currency. Build still performs sub par and dies to empty flasks and stupid map mods like hexproof and phys reflect that other builds have ways of dealing with. Ill be unloading all my gear for this one and heading back to my king of the forest which currently has much much much cheaper gear and clears t10-t13 maps faster than this build. This build did take phoenix, esh, and xoph down and t15-16 maps but at a MUCH higher cost. Putting half the funding from this into my King of the Forest would have taken me further, IMO.

i think you should reach whisper of doom before es that's my 2 cent's 2nd curse gives you extra damage on enemys

Doesnt give that much DPS, not worth to QQ about it,



Must have unique for Warlords etc. + 34% Phys DPS Mana Evasion ETC.

Build without WOWs, and WTF.

But playable, and enjoyable.

7k ES min, dont even think about hybird.

Hexproof is doable with Blood Rage, Atziri's flask, and mana leech on gear. I will admit that the clear speed is worse than Spark and bow builds I've played. Cospri's COC might be stronger than this build without an OP dagger. It was absurdly expensive because it was most people's league starter but the price has come down a lot. Chayula or Valyrium isntead of Kiara's helps with flask reliance. My main issue with the build is Power Charge maintainability. The DPS is pitiful in red maps without power charges and they drop a lot. It makes me want Skyforth instead of Valyrium. I'll get around to trying the other Guardians at some point and give input on them but Chimera is not recommended.

shield charge power charge on critical helps with power charged since it has a big aoe and you don't have to pass through mobs like whirling blades.

OK ive upgraded tons of stuff since the other day! builds really starting to come together now. Changed flasks a bit, got them 20% quality, sorted resists, got a bit of accuracy on gloves, changed one of my jewels and got a 750+ es chest.

Whats next for me? sorry for the noob questions!

I feel like I need some MS on my boots, gonna be expensive though to get my resists back. I fail so hard in things like the labs at the moment with just shield charge for getting about.

I have 100 chaos farmed at the mo but its getting easier to farm currency now. I was going to save for the taste of hate flask but im thinking ms boots next?


Anyone see some glaring holes in my gear I need to patch up first?

Thanks as always,
Matt.

I have Reduced Mana on my shield charge for no/low regen maps. It was necessary when using Vaal Haste to have enough mana to spam it. I may try to 4link shield charge with PCOC.

1. You should roll your level 20 gems over to 20% quality using the vendor recipe.
2. You should be leveling 6 Discipline instead of 6 Blade Flurry in your offset. Level 21 Blade Flurry is pretty much useless while level 20 Vaal Discipline and 21 Discipline are both valuable to many builds.

Thanks for the info!

i'll do the discipline gems asap then and out the bladefullys. I just saw that people was vaal'in them at lvl20 with 20 quality and thought it was the way to go... didnt really look into it more than that!

The other gems I planned on just buying them from peo.trade as I got currency but if I can free up all them leveling slots I will...

general gear wise though am I sortwd for now? ill get that hate flask at some stage, I just want to get comfy in red maps now, not looking at shaper!!

Hey, Im just wondering where all the Leech is coming from.

is it 2% from Atziri Flask and 2% from Warlords Mark?

Is there any from another source?
