Ah right, my bad! :S

Level 36 in prophecy league.
Have been going with a 3-link up to previous level with ed + void m + controlled d. Added pierce gem now that i got a 4-link.

Not really sure what is best to link ed with. 50% pierce chance feels a bit unreliable. Too often nothing happens. Wouldn't chain or lmp be better? This has probably been tested throughly. Just wondering.

Thanks for a nice guide. Have had no problems up to this point. Leveled with ethereal k because it was the only spell that used the stats from the starter nodes.

You never want to use support gems with a LESS damage multiplier for ED.

GMP is useless because you already spread ED with contagion.
Chain is useless for the same reason.

I just saw this weapon posted on reddit: https://i.imgur.com/Q5eXZVs.png

What are your thoughts on it (besides it not being a dagger)?

I still prefer Consuming dark for the free poison.

This build is awesome, i just hit lvl 60 and managed to get a tabula rasa, monsters just melt while i whirl forward. Thanks for sharing it
