Hey,

Awesome! Glad you like it bro! :D

Gear check;
Dagger bench max rolled => beautiful! :D
Could deffo change your helmet for a rare one as you don't need movement speed when using whirling blades either way :)
Shield can have life roll and spell damage rolls!
Boots can have strength to further upp the life but they look decent to me.
Belt could have an implicit strength roll to further increase HP, but like the boots it looks decent to me.
Do you really need a mana flask with the Ascendancy nodes? :S
Amulet can have any sort of stats you might lack for your gems but specifically you want to have Life on it together with possible resistances and if possible add Spell Damage as well!
Rings: Both rings looks rather mediocre to me, you want to have Life and Strength to upp the HP gain as high as possible from your rings and then add resistances as a secondary focus.


Keep in mind to always have a minimum of 168%+ elemental resistances when you're in your Hideout. If you change your Helmet to a rare one, getting the resistances you need via that and a spell damage shield should be making it rather easy for you to find super cheap and much better pieces on the other slots!


Hope my feedback is of good use! You can always ask questions with an instant reply via my livestream as always! :)

thanks for the tips ! i will keep them in mind while upgrading my gear, im looking for a second unset atm and amulet and helmet to get my res up so i can buy atziris steps as last item.

Sounds great bro! Go for it! :D

Hi,

First of all I love the build. Thank you for sharing it.

I got to level 84 in like 3 days and literally got all the gear I need (ofcourse theres always room for improvements). Did my ascendancy all the way up to merciless and it feels like I'm already done with the build. Which bothers me. My question is; is there anything else to upgrade the build with? Like, are there expensive end-game items I could aim for?

I love the build and I want to clear even faster with even more DPS. It's almost a shame how easy this build is to farm with, and how easy it is to get gear for it haha.

Again, thanks for the build! I would recommend it for new leagues/players anytime.

Upgradable pieces would be in the forms of Rathpith Globe, Atziri's Step Slink Boots, Tabula Rasa corrupted with +1 lvls of gems, Crafted end game dagger with even more spell damage.

OR you can move away from shield approach and get yourself a staff with +2 chaos (1 chaos 1 gems) problem here is that you'd lose clear speed but gain DPS. (No whirling Blades).

The only way to improve DPS significantly would be to keep Tabula and equip Rise of the Phoenix, remake the entire skilltree and go Righteous Fire / Iron Will approach, with that you can reach around 50,000 DPS on the DoT, but would also prefer to use the Chocho mace whatever it's called which again drops your clearing speed but makes you more potent vs boss fights and/or Atziri.

Thanks for the reply! How do you feel about getting "Method to the Madness" node? It's near the Shadow starter area.

Depends really, Method of Madness is stronger than Growth & Decay in a few ways but also weaker. If you wish to take both you'll lose potential eHP gain from the tree.

It's really up to you :)

have hit lvl 85 today and im currently farming t8 maps for higher map drops and currency.

Build is so awesome ghazzy i cant get enough of it. its so much fun.

have changed 1 ring already and my boots for atziris. the other ring will be an unset also and the amulet is just for missing res atm. helmet and amulet and twostone rin will get changed for items with res and +hp, +spelldmg. then it should be finished for hitting lvl90 :)



may i ask you whats your tooltip dmg currently?

my tooltip seems low but dmg is enough atm for t8 blue mobs, sometimes i feel like high hp magic mobs live slightly long enough to raise my pulse :/, i get hit sometimes.

(only died 2 times from lvl68 to 85 now, which is somehow cool for me haha)


thanks so much again for this Gem of a build !
