Reallyl depends on your gear and current surviveability. I went Patient Reaper, then Ghost Dance, then Escape Artist, and saved Prolonged Pain for last. The reasoning for this was that I was running this as the league starter, and there wasn't that much good leveling gear available on the market yet. If you're starting this with a Tabula, Goldrim, and a 5 or 6L bow, I'd probably skip the defense nodes and go straight for extra damage.

If your defenses aren't handling all the damage coming your way, take the defense nodes first. If you're doing fine, grab the extra DPS. It shouldn't make *that* much of a difference, pushing to level 85+ with uber lab complete is a couple hour task at most.

Okay, thanks

Thanks for the awesome guide! Level 56 now and it's going smoothly. However, I'm trying to build this:

"We use Despair COH Frenzy in this quiver to automate frenzies and boss depsair. You can also run the same links in your boots along with Dash if you can't afford a Maloney's."

Is this just simply for boss dps only and dash is just an added bonus to have as a skill? I don't see a way for this to be auto-activated without a maloney's. Am I just overthinking this?

Sorry for the noob question! Thanks for the help!

You have to cast frenzy yourself when it is in the boots. But then there is a free gem slot you can use for dash.
Dash by itself can be pretty usefull to "dash" out of situations, it is not that great as a movement skill though because of the cooldown.

Edit:
Yes, frenzy is only usefull for bosses. Everything else dies quickly anyway.
And on a side note, Maloneys is the lazy way to always trigger frenzy but imo not best in slot. It cuts out a lot of options.

Just wanted to ask those of you that have played this in the current league, hows this build doing in the blighted maps, I seem to have stacked up a few of them hehe.

Super easy. Just watch out for some of the dot damage.
You've got to be good geared though. 3+VP bow and stuff.

Awesome, thank you for the help!

I have one other question - I've followed this build to a T and I'm currently lvl 83 with all of the required/recommended gear and 5L +2 bow. My concern is my defensive portion of the build - it advertises 7khp, 45kEV, 50/75 dodge/spell dodge.

I have capped resists, 11k EV, 4k HP, 1.2k ES, 40% dodge and 46% spell dodge. Yes, there's some small improvements I can make to gear - but I'm already +life on everything, +life gems, etc. Auras are up.

How am I supposed to hit these numbers that are advertised? What am I missing here?

Thanks again for all the help!

These numbers are possible when you are around lvl 95 and your gems are lvl 20.
Your gear has room for a lot of improvement. Life is good, energy shield is better and to have both is best on most of the rare gear pieces.
Do you have uber lab done? That would also be a huge boost.
