just wondering what you guys have been using as your levelling links so far, i started of using cobra lash in this priority

CL > Lesser poison > LMP > void manipulation ( then swapped LP out for Deadily aliments and put it back in for LMP on single target )

once i finished Act 3 i switched to A Gyre set up and have been using

Gyre > Fork > Lmp > deadly aliments (keep switching with void manip) a

And so far it seems a bit smoother than Lash, The pack clear is around the same but the single target is much much better of you get your whirling blades of correctly using the stored projectiles, Makes the random tanky rare/uniques you come across much easier to deal with without constant plague bearer spam.

Only Aura's ive been using are HOAG and precision so far as i'd rather have the mana at this point (i rushed soul raker early but can still have mana issues against small target numbers)

Trying to decide what my 5 link with Gyre is going to be. Think ill throw in added chaos damage but still cant decide between DA and Void manip and vile toxins. Will need 1 to swap out with Fork on single target anyway but im struggling to decide which 1 (and 2) of the 3 to use focus on


TL/DR - once you unlock fork at end of Act 3 id defo reccommend running GYRE with Fork - L(G)MP - (VM/VT/DA) over lash

Why dont you use GMP isntead of LMP? AS far as I am aware poison scales minimally if not at all with Projectile damage and is all about just getting projectile hits. Youd get 2 additional projectiles for free with no net damage loss

Playing this build and i am shocked how much damage 3L Plague bearer do. More then my 6l dual Bino's Cobra lash, much ,much more.

Somehow its my main damage in maps, and i am not alone. Any idea for 4-5 link setups for Plague bearer?

Still have to test it on high level maps but it looks like hidden jewel of this league=\

Plague bearer looks incredibly overtuned I agree, its limited by hte fact that it requires Poison to activate unlike say Righteous Fire but even then it still does too much damage for what it does. Im sure its possible to do a 6L Plague bearer using a 4L poison skill to build up the fast poison stacks and then utilize the plague bearer.
