Am I blind? Where are the PoB links? Edit: I am indeed blind. Last edited by Aytumious on Mar 11, 2019, 11:26:32 AM	Posted by Aytumious on Mar 11, 2019, 11:25:13 AM Quote this Post

A dagger could be ok but even then, dots cant crit so again the implicits are useless. Wands seem like the best choice for the build, either DW wand or wand/shield. You are using both CwDt - IC - increased duration AND CwDt-IC-BV-blind or one of them?	Posted by canernm on Mar 11, 2019, 11:39:52 AM Quote this Post

Maybe is already asked but didn't see it so. Why you don't use the Potency of Will increased skill duration nodes, it's 45% increased duration for soulrend, it's not worth it or what?	Posted by Darkblade97 on Mar 11, 2019, 12:25:38 PM Quote this Post

You are using both CwDt - IC - increased duration AND CwDt-IC-BV-blind or one of them? Yes, wands are in my opinion the best for the build, but you can NOT shield charge with wands. Therefore some prefer to run with a dagger only because they have a higher attacks per second base than maces. I agree that in both cases you loose the implicits. I only use a 4L CwDt-IC-BV-Blind setup.	Posted by JaegerMeister_CL on Mar 11, 2019, 12:45:41 PM Quote this Post
By the way, how you deal with strength/dexterity requirments. I had to take dex nodes and get jade amulet just to use body armour, and then i decided to buy cerberus+remorse combination, and i dicovered that shield required 159 str. It's 70 str more than i currently have, and i've spent all my space/skill points to get enough dex. Even on PoB you have only 70 str, with a Lioneye's Remorse equipped though, even you can't use it.

Ghost shrouds already give you an overall better version of arctic armour. " DamageIncorporated wrote: Also, why would you want to lose 30% ES? It fits very well with the build but ok. Because you can easily make up for the es lost with your items.	Posted by Syreith on Mar 11, 2019, 1:01:12 PM Quote this Post
Sorry if this has been answered, noticed in your leveling section you have bane linked as Secondary skill: Bane(1L)+Despair(2L)+Enfeeble/Temporal Chains(3L)+Controlled Destruction(4L), does this mean we go straight for whispers of doom (before atrophy and mom) after taking written in blood in the leveling tree?
