Gameplay

i see you have jewel slots, but what jewels do you suggest for the build? also, what would you suggest as leveling as?
I suggest rare jewels with phys damage, life, resists if you are lacking. Leveling should be very easy, just get highest dps weapon you can and there should be no problems at all.
ok perfect thanks for the quick response
why use voidheart if disfavor gives bleed and there is poison support in the 6L for warchief?
is this a fail build that’s why no reply?
Can you post up a few leveling trees to follow im not sure which way to go first on your endgame tree.
Thank you for all the hardwork you guys do!!!
Truthfully, it doesn’t matter that much, just get a mix of life nodes and damage nodes – put more focus on your weapon while leveling. (I once leveled with around 20 points unallocated and still cleared incredibly fast 😀 ).
WELL how does he runs ARtic armor Herald of ash and Hatred same time .. its 100% mana reserved-.- and skill tree does not have eny mana reserve passives…
Reduced mana reserved on jewel should solve this.
