In my tree, I'm getting Nightstalker when I level up - after that, what points should I go for next? I don't have Primal Spirit because I don't need it in my opinion. My character is LightningStrikesTwiceee - thank you for taking a look!


I would get Sniper at 91 and then at 93 you can dump it for the top jewel slot if you want.
Hello again!

I made some bigger changes that I felt are worth sharing, so you can give it a go and see if you like it as much as I do.

I never really got used to shield charge, so I swapped back to whirling blades. It's not as fast but as silly as it sounds, shield charge felt a little bit to fast - hurting my eyes a bit when playing haha. On top of that I got stuck on terrain quite often with shield charge but that seldom happens to me with whirling blades.

I went away again from
this combination. It's nice, it's better as the original, but I didn't like to be locked in with head enchant, and the loss of surviveability was quite noticable.

So behold, here is my current setup:

gear


I respecced away a few life nodes and grabbed Charisma. With Charisma and this head enchant I was able to drop HoT and grab Haste. And I bought a phasing with haste + lightning dmg with wrath watchers eye. Now I got permanent phasing not relying on flasks or kills, so I could drop the quartz flask and run a basalt. New rings and amulet gained me 400 hp and I'm close to 4.6k now. I still can replace a few jewels with more life and have a node or 2 free (still 91) for life, should be able to hit 5k on lvl 93 now.

All in all, this was a huge dps and surviveability gain, and isn't that much slower as the darkray setup - because of added haste.

If you can get your hands on a nice watchers eye + haste enchant, I would totally recommend you guys to give it a try.

edit: the free red slot in boots is for empower of course, it works with mana, but i need my enlighten to hit level 3 before I can use it :)

edit2: completed the whole atlas as this build, including hall of the grandmasters without respeccing or switching any gear/gems - just bringing a scorching ray 3L for the gubben brothers I met.

Hi i just started trying out your nice build, but i'm facing a problem with CWDT+ARC+CoH+ProjWeak. seems that the curse doesn't apply for some reason. i can't see the ''mark'' above the enemies when affected what i'm doing wrong?
The only thing that could be happening is your Arc is a higher level than your CDWT will cast. Curse on Hit and Projectile Weakness have no restrictions on level in this setup. You can walk into Act 6 or 7 and take some damage to see if your arc is firing and applying the curse.

You don't really need to do the whole setup like that though. CDWT + Curse works fine as well. You'll end up with a lower level curse but it frees up 2 gems slots if you need them for something.

Thanks for the update falagar. I've been on vacation the past week xD. Thanks for posting your customization and pastebin, good idea with haste enchant; glad you enjoyed the build!
Excuse me, but I do not understand where the 3 blue and red sockets go. and I do not understand why in pastebin there are 2 electric beams

I don't understand your 2nd question, as for the first, that might be an updating error.

OP changed from damage on full life to elemental focus, old pastebins might still have the red socket for dmg on full life.

I'm happy -

Not sure either, all I changed was Damage on Full Life for Light Pen adn Blood Rage because this setup only gave me slightly lower DPS with Loreweave.

2 electric beams - I think what he means is one is Lightning Strike, and if he has Choir of the Storm he is probably seeing a 2nd skill shown in pastebin called Lightning Bolt - but it is just from Choir of the Storm buff so don't worry about it xD.

Very nice dagger btw xD.
