About that Provisional 1.2 specs build. I'm total noob, and which way on skill tree i should go first ?

u dont have to be PRO to know this, just follow your intuition. Everyone prefer something else.

This build still works, sure.

But is it the 1.2 kick ass build? I don't know, will have to wait for the real experts (Mathil, FoxTactics, etc.) explore all the 1.2 nerfs and buffs to dial in a new kick ass build.

Would be GREAT if it was simply a variation on this one...:) Cause it's my favorite.

before patch state

lv93 scion
5900 life(no acrobatics & phase acrobatics)
16000 dps (with lv23anger & wrath & purity of lightning & lv20 haste &lv21purity of fire )

after patch state

lv93 scion
5018 life(with acrobatics & phase acrobatics)
12710 dps (with lv23anger & wrath & purity of lightning & lv20 haste)

after patch i can still run 5 auras

1.anger
2.wrath
3.haste
4.herald of ice
5.purity of lightning

i dont have lv20herald of ice yet.

if i run lv20 herald of ice maybe dps can reach 14000 or more

and with acrobatics & phase acrobatics,still have good survivability.

sry for my poor english :(

how can you manage to run herald of ice without a +1 level to gems and a lvl 21 reduced mana.

I have this and its still not enough to cover the the 10% mana reserved on herald of ice. I still need a lvl 21 reduced mana to do it.

with"Alpha's Howl" +8% mana reserve,and mana reserve nodes +34%
total 42% mana reserve

then 60% aura → 60%*0.7(lv21 reduce mana gem)*0.58=24.36%
40% aura → 40%*0.71(lv20 reduce mana gem)*0.58=16.472%
25% aura → 25%*0.71(lv20 reduce mana gem)*0.58=10.295%

anger+wrath+haste+pruity of lightning+herald of ice
total mana reserve= 24%*3+16%+10%=98%

so still can run 5 auras?

So I just decided to go for it, here's my tree


Went a slightly different direction than the 1.2 provisional from Mathil... my char is lvl60 and I had 74 passives- this let me get over to resolute technique and still keep dps up. Running lvl15 wrath and anger with clarity. I kind of tailored it for my gear as well. Using mana leech with ST vs bloodmagic.

Sure this could have been different or better but whatever... it's still fun!

I am pretty sure that the mana reservation formula now rounds down in both the reduced mana gem part of the calculation as well as the node/alpha's howl reduction part.

I can run 2 x 60 in alphas with level 20 reduced mana gem and 2 x 40% auras also with a level 20 reduced mana gem while only having 22% mana reduction from nodes.

60% auras
Step 1 - 60 * .71 (level 20 reduced mana) = 42.6 (round down to 42)
Step 2 - 42 * .70 (22% nodes + 8% Alpha's Howl) = 29.4 (round down to 29)

40% auras
Step 1 - 40 * .71 (level 20 reduced mana) = 28.4 (round down to 28)
Step 2 - 28 * .78 (22% nodes) = 21.84 (round down to 21)

2 auras at 29 = 58
2 auras at 21 = 42

Total 100% reserved.

In game, I have exactly zero mana remaining after reserves.

Any other way of doing the math and I end up with 102.48 to 103.94% mana reserved.

Wrath, Anger, Herald of Ice and 2 x purities should be fine with level 20 reduced mana gems, Alpha's Howl and only 30% reduction from nodes (exactly 100% reserved).

Ok, what do you think of this so far for the points I have?

As I mentioned I've not been playing too long so I can't afford lots of Regrets to respec. This gives me option to access to the last aura node if I can get boots with +1 gem without too much cost?

Think going down below Finesse worth it? Or just grab a +30dex node and go for life/damage elsewhere?

Any suggestions to go somewhere different?

Looked at provisional tree and felt uneasy, changed some things for shadow and variant for my ranger, dps before was 14,350, Damage after is 13,200. Never meant to farm Atziri, just maps, and it still does quite nicely at that.

Shadow

I just checked out some crafting notes by the masters.

There is an option by Vagan that gives level 1 blood magic mod.

If that mod is implicit and can be used on chest pieces, I think ele buzzsaw will still be extremely powerful and viable. Since we can now take out the blood magic gem and replace that slot with maybe physical projectile damage or some other gem that gives it a nice boost.
