" Ok, please let me know how the build works out. I will test this as well if I get the Wings! I recommend you go Duelist/Scion/Ranger and go more into the Duelist area where are there are a lot of Dual Wield and Axe nodes. Recommend you get the 2x Endurance nodes, and Vaal Pact. I think Scion would work best because you can grab the evasion and resistance nodes that are close to her. |

Hey, I've enjoyed this build very much. It's actually the first time I've made it to merciless (just the other night), and hopefully I'll stick around awhile. It's just lots of fun to play though. This game has a million gem combinations, but only 4 or 5 builds I've found really click with me and this is tops.
I have some small questions. 1) The part of the tree where you take two dex nodes to grab the two 8% life nodes and then gymnastics. Do we really want this? It's possible that come endgame that 20 str and 20 dex is positively needed, and I'm simply unaware. But failing that.... I was thinking that instead of those 5 nodes, you could say pick up the three life nodes you ignored on that circle with the other three for 28% life, and then grab two of the evasion/life nodes right at the start for another 8% life and 12% evasion. So you'd end up with a total of 36% life and 12% evasion as opposed to the suggested 26% life, 20 dex, and 20 str. (or if you were in sc and wanted more damage, you could pick up some extra damage nodes instead, I'm just doing this because life is fun in HC, and because it makes for an easier life to life comparison than life to damage). I opted to do this, at least. I'm slightly concerned that I might have missed something though, and the 20 str/dex is vital in some way I just don't get yet. 2) If you weren't using soul taker/an axe, would it make sense to instead of taking the immediate route towards testudo, going down one more node to the bottom of the tree and branching left there so you could pick up diamond flesh, and have access to (what strike me as) slightly better sword nodes than the sword nodes available on the top branch? Doing this forces you to nab Golem's Blood so you can get back up to the duelist area and testudo. Is Golem's blood a wasted node for this build? Is diamond flesh eventually a wasted node? I don't know what endgame gear would have my resists at. Presently though, an extra 12% all resists from that passive would be really helpful though. Or is that a bad option because, while you still pick up testudo, you aren't able to get there for a much much longer time? I haven't picked either of those two paths yet, but I pretty much need to at this point. Anyways, thanks again for the path idea. It's been lots of fun. |

" Thanks for replying, Ceryneian. Your insight and explanations has allowed me to create a tree which I'll post below which is a combination of what you've devised along with KorgothBG's actual Facebreaker Witch https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/606841 (credits to him for that). Both builds are similar yet take different paths that I wished to incorporate into one build that could work as well. Passive Tree Passive Summary I've also taken the liberty of starting from a Scion because I'm not too keen on using Crown of Eyes and her starting passives are just immensely powerful especially if I'm running a Lightning Coil chest (if rolling off colours weren't so difficult, I'd be using Carcass Jack instead). Not the mention, Facebreakers themselves already offer quite a substantial amount of damage already even if non-legacy. The Templar nodes would have been a nice addition, especially the aura nodes however I feel like I'm gaining more from traveling to the Duelist nodes instead. Plus I've been able to slightly compensate with the aura nodes closer to the Shadow. You will also notice that I only have 34% physical block which covers the 33% required for max spell block from Daresso's Courage but I'm also factoring in only having a Daresso's with either 31% or 32% innate physical block so I'll still hit 65% to 66% physical block in the end. Also, slight miscalculation in your block math; you forgot to factor in the extra 12% block chance applied to spells from a Templar block node so in reality for your tree, you'd only need 57% physical block, not 63% (if my math is correct). I must admit though I also struggled a bit when it came to figuring out what to do with a few points remaining especially when I took Vaal Pact into consideration; the ability to regen is completely gone and that had skipped my mind especially when I wanted to include a hefty amount of regen to combat maps that have chaos damage per second mods. On that note, I'm greatly worried about using Blood Rage as well because of the chaos damage and our remaining health pool of 35% and below - having both Blood Rage chaos damage on top of map chaos damage might prove to be overwhelming. To be honest I'm not sure how to go about this issue currently. On a more positive note, I've begun to look into other possible uniques that may be used in slots alleviated by Daresso's Courage. Bear in mind however that my suggestions are made under the assumption that Scion is the starting class with all the resists. The Blood Dancers looked like a perfect choice but again, the % regen is nullified. I then looked at Darkray Vectors which may still be an option (this choice may seem out of place but this will help the negative portion of Lightning Coil). Other boots to make note of are Sin Trek, Wake of Destruction and Ondar's Flight. In place of Crown of Eyes, I initially thought about what I'm running on the original variant of your build which was Starkonja's Head but that's not too impressive. My attention then shifted to Devoto's Devotion because it's nearly perfect for this variant however the cost might be a bit steep if you can even find one (nearly impossible in Domination). Finally I considered two last options that could work which are the reliable Alpha's Howl and Rat's Nest. Alpha's Howl, much like Devoto's Devotion is perfect for this build because of the auras ran, evasion and most importantly "Cannot be Frozen". Rat's Nest on the other hand is novel but also interesting in the sense that it's just a damage helm which is never a bad thing if you're confident and safe (with capped resists). An honorable mention though to Honourhome; sigh why couldn't it be higher level with a better base? It too would've been perfect. The second ring and belt are up to the individual at this point. Many unique belts will work and it's dependent on what someone needs for example: Auxium, The Magnate, Meginord's Girdle, Wurm's Molt. If those aren't what one needs, they can simply opt for a rare chain belt for ES or rustic sash to dish out more damage to compensate for the lack-of from the tree. Amulets are iffy, not many uniques would help aside from the general use Astramentis. Again, this would depend on the individual but a unique amulet to make note of is The Anvil. The Anvil would allow the user to actually have both maxed physical and spell block and not sacrifice potential passive points to obtain said block amount without any downsides to be honest. The reduction in attack speed, cast speed and movement speed really aren't an issue and are counteracted when running Blood Rage. Running on low life with the "on block" mods might prove to be safer as well (unless of course Vaal Pact nullifies them too, correct me if I'm wrong please and thank you). Lastly, where would you personally place your culling/IIR gem without a weapon? Thanks once again Ceryneian, I hope to hear more from you on this subject.

try to modify the tree for Wings of Entropy
with Vaal Pact + 1 more Endurance + Mind Drinker(assume no mana leech in gears)
Gear
Which tree (or any other suggestions) should i use? Not quite sure about Vaal pact. 1) What does it mean for "instantly life leech"? how many %? or how it works? 2) In this case, should i still use LGoH gem in BoR? I am going to respec 38 points to get this Wings up. Thus, please shed me light before wasting the regret orbs. thanks. Editado por útlima vez por 1up1up1#5083 en 4 dic. 2013 5:02:32

" Hey man, you forgetting block! I think the below tree would work better for you. Also think about what skill you want to use for your 6L Wings. I plan to use Spectral Throw so I have taken Ballistic Mastery to bridge up to the Shadow side. I adjusted your tree a bit, it is still not optimized but you should be able to get max block on this and very good damage. http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgIBAtADhwR-BfkILg5IER4RLxHVEuEV8ButG8gmlSi1KjgyATSTOlg6s0MxR35KfU4qUEJVS1b6V5dbr14TYEFgS2EhYeJjcGVNZfBnoG17bmlwcnRBdK507XVOd9d67311fyuE2YTvh3aH24w2k_yUrZmamyabjaIuouqjiqc0rs-yGbVItkG2976nzerPetLq037WittV3Q3e9ud06NbrFOtj647vTu_j_MX-ujZCqBqHGbvjxKKXBt3n1RzmiIO9G_YY20OcwYus6tP873ruDq_rKNs= Your evasion might be low because we have no evasion from a shield or chest though. I was planning on trying the below tree for a Scion respec. I don't go up to Mind Drinker and I am hoping I can find some gear with mana leech, if not I'll have to redo the tree to go up to Mind Drinker: Still work in progress: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgABvryC5JARiq-zP09WHt_0xkUKNdYxnkrI73rTfn11_rpwcgOH7g5W-nRBd9d_K9aK3efVHOaIg707KH1bQ5zBi6zq0_yi6hLhYSEaVWSjtkE0k2Nw7-O-p0Mx0uqUrWXwCGc26Fiv4mGVm2WnpldN4_6PNZIbrQHnpzD3vvzFbmmE2UZpJJ1iWmVNR354DalutfKE73TtXhMbyFuv4oBMMhmi5AgF0-9OKLUqOGegh3ZKfWxGcmwo29_vHco6UjJ-MglOKkWW6yySzaxHGNvdDZAK Vaal Pact means your life leech is all instant. You need to use Life Leech gem in Bringer of Rain. You do not have any life regen and cannot get life regen from flasks - not a big deal when we are avoiding damage but something to keep in mind. EDIT: I actually think it would be hard to go high evasion on this build with gear slots taken up by weapon, chest, amulet and boots. It is unlikely we can run Grace + Damage aura without getting into mana problems. If so I may remove the evasion part and go up to Dodge on my way to Mind Drinker. I will only run 1 damage aura. Thus it would be a low evasion, high Dodge, max Block build. Physical attack avoidance: = (1-40%) x (1-75%) = 15% chance of taking physical attack damage (scales: fixed against all enemies and not affected by increasing monster accuracy) Spell avoidance: = (1-20%) x (1-75%) = 18% chance of taking spell damage. Alternatively: drop Bringer of Rain and use a high evasion chest and high evasion helm. You will not be able to get to max block easily though and will have to apply Blind using other methods.

this ring solves every mana problem (given you only use doublestrike with multistrike: 15*2*3=90 mana on one target every time u use a skill) However, it will be REALLY hard to max resi...(you basically need max res on gloves and shield + an extra resi node) but question: how do you have an extra 20% spell evasion? and the new tree has soo few hp nodes...

Thank you Cery.
On my current gear, my evasion is 5500. After Grace, it's around 10k. If i do not use Sin trek boot , my eva after grace will be 9k. I think is it still enough eva, right? Also, if i do not use vaal pact and keep using LGoH, which one is better? For 6L, my wing just 4L so didn't think of it. Basically, i only run grace + tempest shield (dagger + raph shield). Dps is around 11k. I tried using grace +hatred (dps 15k), but no enough mana for each hit (8.1ats). Editado por útlima vez por 1up1up1#5083 en 4 dic. 2013 21:59:07

Great Build,
Up to level 75 maps have been easy so far, sitting at about 7-8k DPS with Hatred, just need to save up for Rainbow strides for the extra spell block. Current Gear, trying to get mana leech on my second ring but im doing fine with 2% plus pots so no rush. Thanks for a great Build!. |

been running this on nemesis and it works good, havent had any real issues. Lvl 78 right now Main thing to watch out for are the slow heavy hitters i just tend to avoid them. One unlucky hit could kill you. You can kiting attacks but Im just not brave enough and scared of desync. Barely get hit with spells or attacks but still play careful if your playing HC |
|
Anyone have experience with this using Reave + Sword/Dagger/Claw? I swear, Double Strike hates me right now that I'm thinking of leveling with Reave + Multistrike instead of Double Strike + Multistrike because of targeting issues with melee.
