What about using Frost Blades?

4L: Reckoning - Melee Physical Damage - Endurance Charge on Melee Stun - Enduring Cry (used for Atziri farming only!)

what would you use for this piece of gear if you are not doing atziri

I think it means only the manual Enduring Cry is used for Atziri, the other 3 gems are a good choice for anything and then add another support instead of Enduring Cry. Not sure what the best other gem to go with them is, trying out Stun & Blind at the moment.

As Randall told you, this means that only EC is for Atziri farming, the other 3 gems are one of the best combos in game for FREE endurance charges.

Very bad skill.

Hello, what do you think about sharkskin boots? Is there any chance they could be viable for build?

And what about CwDT (around lvl 1 - 5) with tempest shield, increase duration and molten shell (immortal call)?

They're ok-ish, but not worth it, they will boost your dps slightly but lower your survivability significantly.

CWDT is a waste.

Hi. I like your build, but i don't understand why don't use a CWDT setup? Why are you saying that it's a waste?
And what for are we keeping 2 auras and herald of ash together if we can use only one of them at the same time? (keeping in mind that we're using blasphemy with warlord's mark) Wouldn't it be better if we put auras in the weapon/shield sockets and make a 4-link leap slam instead? (+ faster attacks)

Because Immortal Call was nerfed so hard it isn't worth using linked to CWDT. Even with 6 endurance charges, you would get like 1.5 secs of IC. In 95% of casses, it is MUCH better to have 6 endurance charges up instead of the 1 or so second of Immortal Call.

You can ditch the auras you don't use, sure.

sorry if this was already asked:
why do you not take Command of Steel?

4% more block
110% increased defences from shield

Hello there

Thanks for a cool in-depth guide!

I'm running your skilltree with amplify, but my dps is only 20.8k unbuffed.
In my experience this is WAY too low for a melee build at lvl 80+ and I am running into some issues. - I know some of my gems Arnt fully lvled, but I'm sure that wont make THAT big a difference. I would say that my dps must be at least 50-60k unbuffed for this to be viable.

So am I doing something wrong in my gearing or gem-setup?

In regards thanks!
