im doing pretty decent with this build..
im soloing 71 maps pretty easy. tho this build kind of lacks the damage. its pretty nice solo build actually but in party the damage is awful. As curses i use projectile weakness as offensive and for defensive i use enfeeble. Im currently level 84. My current gear: With the current setup i get like 6,2k+ dps. (can change grace to haste and my +2 artic armour shield to better dps shield and i get like 7,2k) Life: 4551 Mana: 891/2645 Not quite sure what to do next. Maybe better 6 link and mings heart. Or maybe change build totally to something else. Putting empower to 6link when it levels up and buying other empower to put to artic armour is prolly next.

" Get a shield with Spell Damage and Life or +2 Cold Gems. Or both, if that exists on Nemesis. All that ES is nice, but worse than DPS. But the BEST way to upgrade your DPS? All your gems lack quality! EK has 12% Proj. Damag, Added Fire has 15% Fire (so like 4-5% Spell Damage), Iron Will lacks 15% Spell Damage, Faster Casting is 10% Cast Speed, Faster Projectiles is 10% Cast Speed... = 31% Spell Damage, 20% Cast Speed! Bless the belt for 24%, or get another one (it's not bad, though). And I honestly think you don't need Grace on 71 maps with AA level 19-21 :) You won't be taking ANY damage with Leech, either way. So run Haste! Now, level 76+ maps, that's another ball-game, especially with mods, but 71s, nah. One last thing. You don't need 2 Empower gems. Snapshotting still works, after all. Just activate AA and then put the Empower back on EK.

@CantripN
Standard League How does the below build look (Hybrid of yours and Ziggys)? With all the armor/energy shield does this make up for the lack of health nodes? I am losing the 6life/8mana x 6nodes and the 12% cast speed wheel? Is that worth the armor/ES i'm gaining by keeping Ziggy's portion of the Templar tree and "Body and Sou"?
My proposed tweak to what you and Ziggy have

Well, I like your gear, mostly, at least. That ammy needs and upgrade BAD, though (and the Flasks, too).
Honestly, I don't think losing the Life and Mana nodes is a good idea, since they add to your "Life" twice, but try it out. Mostly looks ok, but I just never felt you need THAT much Armor with a high level AA. I think your idea might work very well if you don't have a Lightning Coil, since you need the armor more, then. If/when you get one of those, it's not needed at all to have quite THAT much Armour. The mana you get from the armour/es nodes should be plenty enough, not sure about the Life. You'll have quite low life, I fear.

Just wanted to post another quick update on my take of this build. It's still basically the same, just with fewer life nodes, more spell damage and cast speed nodes. I can solo just about any map up to 75, and took down a twinned vaal map without much of a problem.

I'm finding it very difficult to cull sometimes with Bear Trap. Been wondering if I should change it to something else.
My build is very similar to CantripN's, but here it is: Passives

I plan to respec the STR node once I have enough from gear, and then also the 3 Resist nodes near the start of the Scion. Gear

Some of the pieces could really use an upgrade, and fortunately I just won a 10 exalt lottery a few hours ago, so I have now got some currency to buy with. |
