I’m currently playing a melee bleed conjurer using Savagery-Falcon, Devouring Swarm-Rend + Curse of Frailty to significantly lower the resistances on ultimate.
What, in your opinion, would be the optimal devotion setup for a character of this type ? (I only really consider Huntress 5/7 mandatory). Would you guys go for Tree of Life, or skip it in favour of more offensive devotions ? We can get pretty good HP-regen without Tree of Life, using Blood of Dreeg, Judicator’s Signets and Tenacity of the Boar (even more if we pile on points in Mogrogen’s Pact/Oak Skin.
Do you prefer dual-wield on a character like this (using the Direwolf Crest) for nice procs, or do you prefer 2h using the Guillotine (or possibly Wildblood Crusher for some bleed/vit) ?
Haven’t really seen any legendary helmets optimized for bleed specs (I’m using a low-spirit character, so most caster helmets are out, except possibly Dreadmask of Gurgoth). Any ideas here would be welcome. Also looking for decent non-caster chest armors. Using Dread Armor of Azragor atm as I get some vitality damage in there from Solael’s Witchfire/Second Rite, but it feels sub-optimal.
Why dont try ranged weapon, namely Empowered Scarlet Marksman? -55% bleed resistance, after all…
For melee, there are two options. First, you get both bleed and physical damage or you focus on bleed only, and fortreit physical totally. I doubt the second option will work well with 2-handers, though.
About helms - Abyssal Mask is pretty nice, though it’s a caster gear.
Yeah, the mask is very nice, unfortunately I’m nowhere near the spirit requiriement. Didn’t invest in spirit at all, as I was planning on mainly using phys/bleed. But in hindsight, I should’ve invested enough in spirit to equip some of the caster stuff, plenty of nice bleed/vit castergear out there.
I guess I’ll have to relevel a conjurer back up to 85 to sort those stats out -.-
I actually haven’t found the empowered version of the Scarlet Marksman (amazinlgy enough) yet. However, I’d prefer DW (using Direwolf Crest or 2H melee for this particular setup. Makes shotgunning with Falcon easier for one thing).
Still haven’t decided whether to just go all out damage in the devotion tree or pick up strong defensive stuff like Tree of Life.
