dunno why, the switch between loath and honour was different for me.. i got a 23k increase in dps with etcher than loath.

Loath bane

Honour Etcher

That said, I theory crafted a BM build for us, i ran the numbers but damn man it's a headache.
we would lose max block but gain unwavering stance, with a perfect rumi's, tempest shield and a titanium shield you would be able to get max block for tough situations and can achieve spell block as well, just wear stone of laz.

We would end up with ROUGHLY 5.3k es compared to 4.2k health, this is with non optimal gear, midroll leg shavs, rainbow, 300es helm with acc, 500es shield, barely any es on jewlery and belt.

I did a ranger start

The auras we would use are Discipline, Haste, Hatred, HoF, Temp Shield, Vitality, this puts us at about 76% life reserved, again I'm not sure if this calculation is correct, .6*.71*.66 * sum percentage of auras (?) have room for more auras for sure, fydell uses same tree with only a -4% node more than my tree and he has anger and wrath as well on top of everything else mentioned above.

Capping resistances would be a breeze.

In terms of damage, in my old tree

81% AS
337.8% +phys
80%acc + 424 acc flat
410 crit chance
146 crit multi

In the new tree i linked above, we get
184.14% AS ( I added the increase of AS from BR, BM, lvl 3 enhance and haste )
174.8% phys
314acc flat + whatever you can get on your helm (really helpful for us in terms of true crit)
625% crit chance ( I added 50% from the additional power charge )
121% crit multi

I mean of course this is straying away from the premise of the build, but I was just bored so i theorycrafted :P I like churning my brain haha. We do get a 1.65 multi on all our auras, including hatred and HoF, but I'm pretty concerned about the hit on percentage physical damage increase and the % accuracy, however we would be VERY MUCH near 95% crit without the need of curses or what not so that should be extremely nice.

So guys, any thoughts and feed back?

Wow - I am not sure how Honour Etcher gave you 23K more DPS than Loath Bane. It is a little higher than Loath Bane, but should not be that huge a difference. You didn't change anything else on your gear?

The low-life BM version is pretty interesting, but that physical damage drop is just too much. I tried to make low-life/ES version of this build and the DPS comes out to about the same or lower than this build. Because of that physical damage % increases, which is so important for this build because it scales phys, light, cold, fire, then those will scale chaos from Atziri flask. So everything we do on this build depends on the phys.

Looking at the stats I think the DPS would be lower than this build. Those BM trees are really good for elemental aura builds because they do not rely on physical damage % that much. But with this build you really need the Shadow and Ranger phys damage.

That's my thought. I would love to make a CI/low-life version of this build but I doubt I would match or exceed the DPS of this build. I may have more hitpoints with higher ES, but losing blocking, blind, dodge, and Ondar's Guile would not be worth it unless I could get about 8K+ ES.

Hello,

thanks for this beautiful guide and build. I was levelling this build to lvl77 as i realized that a good dagger is very expensive, so i switched my build. After 1 week i found a binos kitchen knife and switched to this build again. The defense with binos is just insane, liferegeneration goes up to 2600 per second, but the lower attackspeed is really bad, but to get some more level, currently lvl 78, its nice.

I have two/three rings i use and all 3 have 1 slot to craft open. So i could craft maybe "adds phys/lightning, mabye chaos damage to your attacks".

So will this increase my damage??, because lightning strike is in the base physicall? If not, i would craft life on both rings.

Here is my current gear:
