Hi, i'm currently trying this build, and it's very satisfying to see everything just drop dead in chain reaction.

currently i have a level 69 trickster, with around 2500hp and 800 shield. is that normal? or do i have to build HP somemore? because i've been nuked once or twice while trying merciless labyrinth.

thank you for publishing such a nice build,

cheers

Hey,

Glad you like it :)
Merciless Lab is a tough one, personally I don't do Merc Lab till I'm lvl 80ish, this build is somewhat squishy as it's designed to be a low budget and/or league starter build to make currency by being able to speed clear effectively.

Thanks bro! <3

Just thought I'd drop in and say I have never played any sort of DOT based build before in Path and I'm really enjoying it. Just wanted to know peoples opinions on the recent Damage Over Time changes coming in 3.0, would hate see this sort build get shot down.

Hey,

You don't have to worry once I'm in the Beta I will begin testing everything that needs to be tested for summoners and, of course, this build. They will be ready before the launch.

:)

I'm sure this has been covered already, not going to read 45 pages of posts though - Have you tried this build with a Decay weapon?



adds a fantastic amount of damage, probably more than Consuming Dark at high levels

Delirium is the BIS weapon choice for the build :)

Figured as much :) I just wanna say, I was using a weird Lightning Strike build a while ago and had a lot of trouble with t11-t12 maps... bosses were really hard. I switched to Essence Drain / Abyssal Cry and can now solo a corrupted rare tier 15!! Pretty huge difference, and my atlas is at 110/126. Thanks for making this build, I like it a lot and I'm dying a lot less.

I just tried the Lair of the Hydra boss and got em down to 40% and ripped, lol. Not bad for the first time going there though, I need to make some upgrades on spell damage and I should be fine, have tons of ES and resists are good

@ContraOmnes:

Glad i could help bro! :)
Sounds perfect!

So I'm trying to get some HC achievements, which means starting anew without all the stuff I've acquired in LSC, including those sweet sweet leveling uniques. Because of that this build seemed pretty interesting to me due to the low budget tag - and it's actually low budget too, unlike some others I've seen. Also allows me to test some leaguestarters for the next league.

I just RIP'd at 57 in A4 Cruel though (against Kaom's Strongbox... for my sanity I'm going to assume it was the ring inside), and I had been struggling since at least two acts despite upgrading gear relatively often (through Essences and Alchs mostly - buying low-level stuff in LHC is a nightmare, probably due to it being so late in the league) and being a few levels over the zone most of the time. Damage felt terribly low on a 4L (4500/s according to tooltip + 600-950 from hit), to the point that even rare monsters took a while to kill, let alone bosses. Had 2240 HPs, 488 ES and capped elemental resists (-6% Chaos) when I died, and I had had a lot of close calls ever since the middle of Cruel A3. Even Dried Lake farming felt more difficult and less smooth than it usually does.

I'm sure I did a lot of things wrong, so could you look at my character (it's the only Shadow, can't be missed) and tell me all of my mistakes regarding gear/skills ? (of course in-game skill matters too - I stayed in place a few seconds too long and died) I watched the video and it's pretty well-made but leveling is never the main topic of a build video - probably because good players don't die during that part, I guess. Should I have farmed Dried Lake until Tabula or could the 4L have worked until Merc Dried Lake ?

Thanks

Love this build!

I'm running a skin of the loyal with a level 3 empower and the leveling process is a joke. I have a level 19 gem at level 62 XD

check out my essence drain gave him a little extra love lmk what you think
