Hi all.

Im a noob at this game, but enjoying the hell out of it. Have played Diablo 3 alot, and needed something knew to get my head around and also cuz i had some hunger to learn something knew. And yeah.... That hunger is not there anymore, im actually full up deluxe! What a game. So much to read, so fun to learn, and an awesome passive skill tree, overwhelmed. :)

Have some questions regarding some steps and not leveling up skill gems in this guide thou, have googled around and couldnt find any exact answer.

In Act 3 it says:
"‣ Keep this Arcane Surge at Lv6 or lower, to proc it with a single use"

Dont know if im not familiar with "proc" so its a lack of rendering or whatever, but would appreciate to get that one explained: Why? I have been reading about not lvl up the gem when im not met the requirements, and that i cant be using the gear the gem is socketed in (and also not the gem). But when i meet the requirements, isnt the gem always better when they level up?

Actually found the same in Act 4 when i kept reading a bit in the guide, but with no info at all regarding why i should keep it on a lvl, this time on lvl 1:
"‣ Get Desecrate from Siosa and keep it Lv1"

Just want to know what the heck im doing and why im doing it so i can learn. :)

That arc is linked to flame dash which has a low mana cost. Higher level of arcane surge requires higher mana cost to proc it, so you want to keep it lvl 6 thus flame dash would be able to proc it.

Desecrate does chaos dmg per sec to you as its level increases, since we only need the corpses and nothing else from it we can just keep it level 1 and have the min amount of chaos damage dealt to us.

Huge thanx for reply.

So, in other words: I will just use Flame dash mainly for the movement ability first hand and not damage. And thats why its better to have low mana cost so you can move around quick whitout eating up your mana... Correct?

Regarding Desecrate and chaos damage: Do Chaos damage always damage players/myself? In the discription for the Desecrate gem it says:
"Desecrates the ground, summoning corpses and dealing chaos damage to all enemies in the area. The corpses will be chosen from the monsters in the current area and any Spectres that have existed in this instance.
Per 1% Quality:
1% increased Cast Speed
Base duration is 4 seconds
Deals (8.2-294) Base Chaos Damage per second
Spawns 5 corpses
Spawns corpses up to Level (20-100)
Maximum of 10 corpses allowed"

Doesnt say anything about "it will do chaos damage to you". Im not arguing or something about it, and i have all my trust in you, but again, just want to learn, and understand what im doing. :)

Immortal flesh belt seems like a solid budget option for this build. Is there a reason I may be overlooking as to why it's not mentioned anywhere?

Hey,
what will be the best 6l armor for about 2ex?
I cant decide and i dont have good ideas.
As i understand it cant have any energy shield because of passive tree skill right? So the best type is armor or evasion ?
