You cant really swap out Doryanni's because it also gives 25% elem dmg, which is 5% higher than widespread destruction.While the guide suggests an elemental cluster jewel with Doryanni's and Sadist, I went with a fire one with Smoking Remains, Sadist and Doryanni's. It took me a while to craft one but if you have the 2 exalts, you can buy one with Smoking Remains, Sadist and 2 open suffixes, and slam life twice from harvest to get Doryanni's as well.

thats the cluster jewel i have with doryanis on it. smoking remains on my current cluster which is allocated gives 35% fire damage + the 2 small nodes i have selected are +12% fire damage/0.15% life regen each second per node

This is what you should aim for. An 8-9 passive skill fire cluster with 3 notables.

i would need to move some skill points around to fill the cluster wheel though. i see on your skill tree you don't have many of the life nodes taken in that large life section of the tree. ive got the full section allocated, and im hesitant to drop life since when i did previously was squishier than i liked

Yeah, looking from your gear I see that some items have extremely low roll on life and some dont have it at all. I was kinda surprised to see that you had allocated all those hp nodes and you were only 500 hp away from me. Nevertheless that cluster jewel should be your endgame, but for now I recommend getting some hp on your gear.

i could do some harvest rolls, but im to be honest, im terrified of crafting. ive screwed up some nice pieces getting some crap rolls so i dont like rushing towards crafting options

Hey team,

I'm pretty strong at the moment but want to know where to spend ~20-30ex.

I've managed to roll t1 CDR on a stygian vise, so i can finish crafting that but I thought I should get a bone helmet with reduced mana reservation first, and fossil craft that to get the 'nearby enemies' mod and see what resists i get first before finishing the CDR belt. That way I will maintain the right CDR (after losing it from my current helmet enchant) while freeing up some mana to swap in some higher dps jewels on my VD / DD?

I also wonder whether which amulet is best, one like i have with 'damage penetrates % fire resits' or a +2 amulet, or a +1 amulet with the 'damage penetrats % fire resist' mod?

The other thoughts I have is, i only have the one large cluster jewel at the moment, do i get more? will that give me more hp / damage?

I can only just finish simu's wave 20 deathless atm, but im only getting low stacks in it because I'm hiding out a bit because hte mobs hurt. So I want to do more damage to get more mobs killed and get higher stacks.

also i picked up a wise oak, should i use it? which flask should i swap it with?

Hoping someone can help with which order i should be approaching these upgrades please. Thanks guys, you rock!

Quick question - is there any value in quality on Spell Cascade ?

only increase aoe... every 2% quality increments 1% area of effect..

Hey i was wondering if its worth using kitava's teachings for this build?
its a unique small cluster jewels that consumes nerby corpes every second to heal 5% max hp and mana per second but youll take 10% more damage if you havent consumed a corpse recently.

Look at my character 'Karulean'

Looking for advice

Recently removed my nodes on shield block as I got bone offering tho I've kept the shield nodes for w/e reasons I had

Added a bit to elemental resis & life, keeping the +8% armour from a node as I feel like ever since I've removed my block nodes I'm taking more dmg which is weird

Anything I could improve ?


I'd like to know if the build here is better than this one too?

I've played the other one but did not have Bone Offering affecting me at that time so I can't really compare

So i compared the damage between my 2 cluster jewles (smoking remains/widespread panic + small nodes vs. cremator/doryanis + small nodes) and the damage was more or less the same. What i did do was remove 2 health nodes (5% life each) so i can get more nodes around the cluster wheel, and i put a gem into the cluster wheel with +7% life/+16% fire damage/+10% damage. so I effectively only lost 3% health, but gained the extra leech source and came out ahead with a bit more dps
