Well personaly i'm not a big fan of low level molten shell ... because it will go off even if you receive just one hit ... but you can try it out and see if you like it or not :)

Hello, I've been having issues with this build ever since I got my Bringer, Everything seemed to work better with the abyssus. The bors extra block is good but it drops my dps by 4k or so dps. The blind is a plus too but the main problem is mana problems. These are my gear and skill tree im currently level 83. Id like some advice.. seeing how my end result is not even near yours.
Current Equipment: https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQAAdwEswUtDPcS4RRNGS4aMhv6Jd8n7SkuMZ4yCTWSNuk64TwtPQ89_ECgQYdHfkrITeNPfVBQUWBXDVhjWfNeE18_YEthIWVNZp5nm2xGbmluqnB9cmxyqXTteA1673y4fNl99YBWgziE2YTviPGMz5BVkc6ZK565oLSiAKQZplepbqvFrFmsqqyvr2y18rc-ud29gb6KvqfAD8Aaw4bE9sWKxq7G2NBH0k3Uj9lh4urnkenV7w7vfPAf8i_yRfPd9kj56PrS-6r-Cv6P I also only have 423 mana at the time. So maintaining Hatred and using Infernal seems to be a pain. Having to pop a mana pot to regain mana seems like a pain. These are my stats with the current gear while hatred activated.

About the mana
I've said it a million times and i've said it in the guide also.. but i'll say it again: You can't cast with mana if you don't have mana leech! As a temporary solution you miht try to take the Mana flows passive and use Clarity + Blood Magic + Reduced Mana About the damage .. well i have 6L chest + Abyssus .. and that's a huge damage boost compared to a BoR. Again as i've already said - BoR is the cheap version... but if you want to get the most of the build you need Abyssus + 6L chest. You won't be able to reach my dps because you are in dominion and you don't have access to legacy facebreakers but with better amulet(it can have alot more physical damage), Abyssus + 6L chest and 20/20 gems you should end up at around 35k DPS And take immediate action and cap your resists!

Bor is very expensive though, a crappy 6L armor would be about 5 exa or so. Im currently trying to sell my Bor and invest in a 6L armor instead, the abysus way is a lot cheap and has a better outcome than the bor. I've been trying to get some gear with mana leech but it dosnt seem to happen often and when I get it I dont get phys dmg. So im just going to stick to the abyss. Thanks for replying quickly.
Managed to get a cheap 6L armor for 6 Exalted orbs, My dps is now 21.5k with level 2 Faster Attack gem 10Q Another thing I noticed about using the Abyssus is that You can have your Domination blow on the side, with a bit reduced DPS but when you are fighting a boss that can hit very hard, using his minions against him for meat shield can save you 10% exp.

You do realize that you were using Melee Physical in your Bringer...right???
-Your complaining about a 4k DPS drop, and your not using Added Fire for no reason. Last edited by Epsilon2012#3283 on Jan 11, 2014, 10:04:32 PM

" I assumed Added phys was better since I got more percent out of it. I see what you mean, but mana would still be a problem, even worst since it would require 77 mana to cast instead of 55. But thanks for pointing that out. I kinda drifted away from the directions of the guide for a bit. This does scale better with the Bringer but its not good with the abyssus.

How did i missed the Melee Physical Damage?!? Anyway...y ou already have Melee Physical damage from the BoR itself .. so the additional gem in the helmet doesn't work... and it adds nothing!
Put Added fire damage if you can sustain it ( which you can't due to no mana leech ) so better put Blood magic instead. And an advice - don't drift away from the directions of the guide not even for a bit :) "I'm going to show you pain you never knew existed, you're going to see a whole new spectrum of pain!!!!!

First of all Korgoth, thanks for the build and the great communication/feedback you've been giving.
This may have been asked already, but I read through like 20 pages and didn't see it: What about Vaal Pact? With the damage we do and leech from just 1% it seems like it would be a fantastic option, but I'm also a newb so maybe I'm missing something? |

Thank you for the question aechean. It was actualy never asked before.
Unfortunately just 1% life leech is not enough if you are using Vaal Pact. You see without Vaal Pact 1% is pretty much enough for you to leech the highest possible amount of life per second. If you have more leech you'll gain life for a bigger period of time but you'll get pretty much the same amount per second so in a fight you really won't feel any difference between 1% and 10% life leech. Now with Vaal Pact the things are abit different. Since you are getting the leeched life instantly you will have a good use of high % life leech because it will all be applied at the moment that you hit. So now to logical question is why not Vaal Pact and high amount of Life Leech ? Well it's hard to get high amounts of life leech with this build without sacrificing something else ( like DPS ) . You can use Life leech gem or Carnage Heart Amulet .. but both options will decrease your DPS by alot. Another good way to get Life leech is Blood Rage ... but since you don't have life regen with Vaal Pact, the life degeneration effect of the Blood Rage would be very annoying ( at best ) or even dangerous. Now on the other hand when you don't have Vaal Pact you can stack up huge amounts of life regeneration per second and that really helps alot. I can't tell you for sure if that's still the case , but in Closed Beta. The amounts of life/mana leeched per second used to be displayed in the character sheet ( i.e. you have 23 life regen per second -> you hit something and you have life leech -> now you have 44 life regen per second until the leech effect lasts) The interesting thing about this is the fact that life regeneration nodes affected the life leeched per second ( tested it myself! ) The same used to be true for he mana leech and the mana regeneration ( %mana regen affects the mana leeched ) This wasn't true for the Vaal Pact because with it you don't have life gain per second from the leech. Now the character sheet no longer displays that but i've never read in any patch notes that this was changed. I'm pretty sure that not many players now that.
