2.6/3.0 EK Nova LIFE Raider with MF - 1 EX BUDGET POSSIBLE!

Just wondering what bandit reward to take now.

This guide is Outdated. Remove the "3.0" from title, thanks.

Either outdated, or just not up to par (which I don't know). But definitely not up to par anymore, can't even one shot a level 40 mob unless you land crits over and over, even with relatively good equipments.

I have been playing this build in HHC 3.0, I'll start by saying this build could potentially work with some serious gear. I am running NO MF GEAR and this build is still barely scraping by.


Leveling has been mostly like pulling teeth, the amount of bosses, zone bosses, minor gods, major gods, regular boss fights, shows the clear weaknesses of this build Single Target is non-existent, with no obvious swap in of gems. (BV potentially but it scales AOE not Proj so will be gimp'd.)

I am only now starting to crit, before this even white mobs took multiple pumps (including spell echo). I will say when you do crit, when you do proc herald of ice, when you do get power charges.. this build pops off at clearing.. BUT when you don't its slow & clunky at best.

I highly recommend removing the 3.0 tag until you get this to a playable state, as you are likely baiting a lot of noobs into wasting their time on this, they will have a much harder time getting this to work than I did and they will quit.

Now, I cant run T1 with this build

help me anyone

Sir I followed your skill tree and I can't life leech or mana leech. please help

I've been running a HC variant of this build, unfortunately the way he leeched mana+life before was using Vinktars, but with that not being an option anymore since I've been using mana potions.

For life leech i've been using an Atziri's Promise, it works pretty well but not enough to really keep me alive when taking huge chunks a damage... On SC I'm sure you can invest more in damage than life though to make this a non-issue.

Alira should be the new bandit since crits are more important.

The damage is okay, I clear packs almost instantly on Tier 9 maps but struggle with anything single target. Since I focus more on defenses (since i'm on HC) I forgo grabbing all of the intense MF gear and use AA instead of HoI, I still plan on using a Bisco's when I can but with my buffed DPS only being about 80k I'm just not really impressed...

I'm basically pushing my luck until this character dies at this point, a decent league starter but with many other cheaper and longer lasting options I just can't recommend it.

don't get sucked in by this shitty build guide. it way outdated and fairly useless.
