I believe I will have to follow a more detailed build for now and then maybe I'll come back to this. You are asking for a more detailed guide but you are still not following this one. Your faster casting is not linked (important for bladefall), your Arcane Cloake needs to be a four link. On top your flasks are a mess for reaching maps. That's the thing. Maybe it's just me, but I'm finding it hard to follow. I haven't played this game in years, so consider myself a total noob. So, at level 35, should I switch to Bladefall already as my primary skill? Should I stop using Lightning Trap? I am also not sure what type of gear to equip.	Posted by dangb#4423 on Apr 19, 2021, 11:42:46 AM Quote this Post

Did you read through the "Notes" Section in Path of Building?	Posted by Celdro#1607 on Apr 19, 2021, 11:48:16 AM Quote this Post
The whole guide is just weirdly worded and a lot of things are not explained properly. It says we should not have arcane cloak on lmb but then where the hell would you put it, unless you want to use ctrl also. You have so many things to look after, BFBB, Sigil, Conductivity, Arcane cloak, General's cry or what ever fortify you have, the build is horribly clunky and really tedious to play, this is the least fun build i have played in my 1.4k hours in the game. Farming enough currency to respec and get starting gear is hard to do when you have no dmg and survivability. Imo the build is not worth the hassle and there are much easier and stronger builds around.

You can rebind the keys on the second bar to be accessible without control, btw. Personally, I rebound ctrl+Q and ctrol+W to Y and U.

I did not know that, it helps but does not change the fact that you have this many skills you need to use to not die.	Posted by Bl4ckExe#2019 on Apr 19, 2021, 12:08:58 PM Quote this Post

Imo the build is not worth the hassle and there are much easier and stronger builds around. BF/BB playstyle is clunky whatever build you're gonna play, still if you check poeninja, Blade Blast is the # 1 main skill in ultimatum softcore. of course it's not a zoom zoom build. I agree that you have way too many keybinds to keep, but as I said, if you're not playing in hardcore you can ditch some annoying setup (like the vigil, which has been nerfed anyway), put conductivity on arcanist brand/orb of storms setup, or cwdt + conductivity/tempest shield, and cast sigil of power only for static fights or tougher bosses.

Build gets better and better o.o 6 Linked closk today and crafted a decent conductivity Ring.. can also sustain rf now.. oh boy rf rampes our dmg so much, love it.. I have a question.. you suggested a shield for Ultimatum yesterday.. just dropped a replica mistwall and on paper it looks really nice.. is it? And i wanted to ask if we use awakened spell echo later	Posted by lamA1337#1224 on Apr 19, 2021, 1:08:05 PM Quote this Post
