between im trying sunder with this build atm and to be honest, it feel pretty damn amazing. the range is really good and the aoe dmg is quite insane. there only 1 thing......single target dmg is not really good BUT if there monster around, it does a good chunk of dmg.it feel faster then cleave and near lacerate (dmg is better then lacerate) and its a red gem.it seem another great alternative and for boss, you can always swap it for cleave.

No idea lol. Haven't tested it yet.

@razzle

Yeah use melee physical damage until you get your BoR. Getting all your ascendancy points is essential for this build.

@I_nis_josh

I'm not sure, maybe someone playing the build in Prophecy can tell you.

@13isLucky

Hmm yeah all 3 skills seem pretty good so it is based on personal preference.

my gears with link gems on it:

Spoiler

dps with hatred aura only:
100k with increased aoe gem
160k with concentrated effect gem

defense:
55% physical reduction with grace aura only

resist:
75% on elemental and chaos

attack and spell block:
51% with painforged which is up all the time during enemies' encounter

total HP:
5.5k

i would suggest this version for hardcore. i played it on parendus league and it was quite insane. hight survavibility and good dmg. im using it also this league on SC using lacerate and its still awsome.i prefer this version to be honest.

Just a thought but wouldn't we be almost better off with a 6L chest and a helm for stats? I realize that Bringer of Rain is technically a 7L but L6 blind isn't awesome and we're missing out of L20 fast attacks and L20 Melee Phys. Albeit this helmet is going to be A LOT cheaper than a decent 6L plus a relevant helm.

I'm pretty knew here so pardon my ignorance if the answer to this is obvious.
