[3.1 Video Guide] Dark Pact Totem Ascendant (Beginner Friendly) Atziri/Uber Izaro/Shaper Viable

I ve been trying this build had fun till about 60

I noticed damage is very low and when I checked the pob total dps was around 70k

I think 70k is really low for end game viable build or am I missing something?

For general map clearing you should be more than fine, though the DP nerf that hit us with 3.1 patch was a bit Mjeh.. however, Minion Life was significantly improved by granting "more" life so our boss DPS should be pretty damn dope thanks to CWC-Wither-Skellies.

Has there been any fights where you've had issues?

Hi, I started playing your build and followed your guide, but I have around several skill points unused because I could not complete the lab to be able to unlock the shadow area. My current level is 32 and my Dark Pact damage with totems seems to be low at around 250damage... Currently using tabula for the 5 link.

The Shadow area of the tree is something you fill out the very last :)

(you can spend the points to what ever spell/chaos dmg or defensive stats till you've managed uber lab, but again: this is not until very late)

Mind making your profile not-private so that I may check your character and help you out?

Hi,

So I've been following the guide for Dark Pact Zerker and I'm level 53 when 3.1 patch happened. Understand that the Zerker guide has been moved to Scion.

Does that mean the old zerker build I've been playing no longer works and I need to unlock Scion to play instead?

Correction: I have resetted my skill tree for Zerker but I can't use the character anymore?

I updated the build guides prior to the release as I am currently racing (#1 Elementalist in HC atm! woop woop!) which means I would never have the possibility to test the Zerker DP versions sustainability without Vaal Pact which honestly scares me a bit and the DMG would be worse with the nerf at the same time they buffed minion life support gem. So I've changed the core of the build to something that will work tons better.

Honestly, I can't tell for sure if a self-casted Zerker DP can handle the self-inflicted DMG from DP since the new patch :S

merged into this from Shep's guide, very well done, melts bosses much quicker now. Thank you!

Also, self cast DP is DEAD.

Haha, alright! Glad you like it bro! :D

Thanks for the guide Ghazzy. FYI your leveling skill trees have the shadow nodes in them which of course aren't available until after Uber lab.
