Thanks for the reply, I've seen people combo gas grenade with explosive grenade, any reason why you didn't do that?

I technically have them on my bar but they are in a very awkward spot:

During mapping gameplay I can blow up everything without using them, so I dont really use them

For bosses they could help, BUT:

1) With only +1 Proj they are very awkward to aim since they are at an awkward angle

2) I tend to err on the side of „rather dodge one time too often“, so when I run out of charges for explosive grenade I reposition

3) Fewer buttons = less thinky power needed

Don‘t take my word for this though, Gas Grenades are probably strictly optimal.

That's crazy. I've switched the skill from my physical clear build, with the crit-phys tree started to annihilate content instead of crawling toward yellow skulls.
Just grenade feels like 10 times more powerful than any non-grenade skill

Update: Level 14 AP Rounds 5link and Level 14 Fragmentation rounds to Level 10 4link Explosive grenade

cool build, thanks for the idea! running and happy after the nerf of the ice sorceress. I have a couple of questions. Have you tried playing through Iron Reflex(physical damage to you will then be extremely low) ? Jack of All Trades (you have strength/dexterity/intelligence over 100, which will give you more than 40% damage bonus) ?

Closing in on lvl 40 and I'm really enjoying this.

I may also start trying to keep Gas grenade for bossing.

RE: Iron Reflexes: I am a bit wary of doing that for two reasons

1) Evasion feels really nice for high density maps
2) Without any Evasion Rating I would have to drop Wind Dancer + Ghost Dance, to my knowledge there is no equivalent for pure armour stacking (RIP molten shell)

RE: Jack of all Trades

Yeah, you are right, I had it specced in some versions of the tree, then I cut it to get some more defense in and I never specced it back even though I had the points for it technically.

In general the tree is pretty flexible, there are around 10-ish points that are relatively low-impact and with respeccing being cheap in endgame I would reccomend everyone to not take my tree as gospel and instead experiment.

how can i find final version of the tree

This is my tree pre-headhunter

Thought of Artillery Ballista for bosses since its such a light build?

I played around with it during the Acts and the damage seemed underwhelming, its my understanding that it doesnt scale with weapon damage. As with Gas Grenade it might be strictly correct to use it but I tend to err on the sides of pressing fewer buttons

mate could not figure out the defensive layers/mechanism of the build, we go high armor and evasion on all gear, some ES on body armour? is this the way to go?
