Thanks, it's awesome to play!

I have been following this build and atm im lv l82 in Nemesis, running maps without problems.

I do skip some bosses tho.. like Museum and Orchard.. I die in like 3 seconds if i try them lol.

U can follow my gameplay @ http://www.twitch.tv/ablexgaming ... Go to my channel and click follow if u want info when i go online, will be streaming every day for like 4-7 hours and much more on weekends.

Enjoyimg playing the HP EK build, made a few tweeks to path of the passives but is similar to others, only prob I have is my rng for orbs sucks to buy gear with, and if I do get any drops they are usual garbage.
this is what I got to play with at the moment

this is my build
4 aura,more strike

Currently working on a CI version of this build. Here is the 106 point build:



Finished build would look like this: (maybe swap some es for resist nodes)



Dont know if it would be better to get Blast radius and Elemental dominion nodes instead of projectile nodes near ranger.


The build will rely alot on auras and buffs for survivability. 54% extra aura effect and 21% extra buff effect. I will have 41% less mana reserved + 8% from alpha howl. I wanna run clarity and arctic armor, but don't know if I can along with 3 60% auras (hatred, grace, determination/dicipline). Maybe possible to run purity instead of determination/dicipline?

I would aim for alot of mana regen and mana on the items since I wont need life.

Biggest question might be why CI. Answear to that is chaos resist and blood rage. Blood rage will give me all life leech I need (no life leech gem needed) + frenzy charges for extra cast speed. Also think this build could be tankier than life version since I get alot more evasion and dex whitch with Iron Reflexes gives me alot of armor. Plus I can run more granites.

What do you guys think? Is it even doable? ^_^. Is there any major faults with the build? And what do you think about the auras?

EK is a physical damage projectile spell, not an attack. blood rage will give you % life back from attacks, so it probably wont work with EK. (correct me if I`m wrong)

Going CI, means you cant go EB, which means you wont be having a large mana pool. EK uses quite a high amount of mana, without EB, you probably can`t run a lot of Aura`s and/or arctic Armour. You also can`t run clarity on your life (which is a decent option to save some mana on a life build).

edit: Spell damage or projectile nodes are much better than elemental nodes logically. EK does physical damage.

Looks pretty decent overall. Bit low on HP for Nemesis but other then that actually looks like a pretty good crit build.

I was looking at the mana reservation math today and I think a good change would be to drop the 5% mana reservation node just above Harrier and spend those 2 points elsewhere. You will still have enough mana to cast 5 auras and do everything you need off of mana (assuming one of the Auras is Purity, if you are running 4 60%'s you will need that extra 5%). Then you can spend those points to pick up something like Heart of Oak or Path of the Hunter or Reflexes.

What do you guys think of this? Should I update the recommended guide with these changes?

Free bump for a great build, really enjoying it so far

Love this build. I ran this in HC until yesterday when I died in ledge to some mooks because lag :( I continued on with the build and it's incredibly resilient. I was definitely capable of killing Dominus with a couple of swaps for more hp.


Here's my gear:


And my current build.


I haven't found anything better for gloves/boots so they'll work for now. With grace, I could get a caster shield for more spell damage but I haven't picked up any decent rolls. The chest I got lucky on for the 5L. You'll also see I'm working on a Q EK/Iron Will/Hatred to replace my originals.
