[v1.0.3.0] Blades of Vitality revisited - Badass knife spamming Witch Hunter

I would take untransmuted DEE anytime, much more fun than both :stuck_out_tongue:

Real men level through the component’s skills :smiley:

Early on, before level 16, I did a mix. I used Fireblast for most mobs, unless they were resistant to fire, and PB to kill bosses and fire resistant mobs. I used PB as an execution skill, which felt very satisfying as heros and bosses melted away.

Somewhere around level 16-20, PB because really good, and I could sustain it.

For this character, should I choose Chosen of Kymon or Death’s vigil? Mainly interested in gear to help me level faster.

Like mark of dreeg complemented with DEE :stuck_out_tongue:

Is this build doable with little to no gear? I’m not a new player but I just started playing again after a long time.

this build is highly dependent on the suggested mythical set, for it to truly shine.

I can confirm this caster build is gladiator ready and can facetank super secret boss as well, provided you know what you’re doing :rolleyes:

It’s still quite capable without the set. You lose a couple daggers, but it’s still good.

No one build can be doable with no gear, but on the other hand without good gear you still can play having worse survivability and clear time.
You should get some Spectral Arbalest at least.

Hey m8 I played a very similar build and would give some of my thoughts, might be applicable to this build:

  1. a single point in Night’s Chill or alternatively use a Seal of Blades, Chaos Surge(proc from Eldrich Pact) goes fully automatic and hilarious

  2. blade spirit is a very good tool to proc devotion skills and most of time we can sustain 3 of them, i tried binding Wendigo and Rattosh to Blade Spirit and i found it just as effective as to bloody pox

  3. after tried this devotion setup in crucible, compare to Solemn Watcher+Wendigo+Hawk, I feel Turtle+Bat(bind to BS)+Gaint’s Blood provides much better survivability, at cost of some OA and +dmg bonus.

  4. I use Sigil of Consumption to trigger Hungering Void, I feel it’s more responsive and adds more regen

  5. personally i prefer aether reach for gloves, not so much because of CS, but energy it provides. In crucible energy helps a lot.

it is still viable for sure. But you lose the capability to kill fabius in less than 10 seconds:rolleyes:

Anybody built a reaper version of the build? A trickster will also certainly be good with uver RR but I highly doubt it is better than WH version.

I’m leveling a Reaper version and it’s level 55. I’m actually going for Master of Death instead of Harbinger of Souls.

My build… http://www.grimtools.com/calc/nZoWaY9Z
Required to be Kymon to fix lightning resist. Im sure there is a rare/epic setup without green MI’s. Although the offhand is a must iin my mind.
Very weak to physical nukes and more importantly Skill Disruption in crucible. It steam rolls most MC story content tho. Similar Fabius kill time as the WH one. I found that Harbinger beat out MoD just because you lack any major source of damage absorb/phys resist. Possession in WH build is great for fixing that weakness.

For crucible I swap to this devotion setup http://www.grimtools.com/calc/r2BorBkV
With buffs it is solid… Without well it can get messy quick lol

How do you side with Kymon’s Chosen as a Necromancer?

Level with your other class and side with them in veteran. They’ll let you stay in elite after giving you some shit

Neat little trick, didn’t know that.

is there any chance to involve ghoul devotion without making to much compromises?

how do u compensate your energy consumption?
im thinking about using tree of life :undecided:
still using an energy pot doesnt change anything

Mythical Bloodfury Spaulders
i think its viable and it caps our 200% cast speed (the buff is most time up)
so we dont need aetherreach :wink:

edit: i would bind Will of Ratosh to Blades, so really everything will get cursed. CoF or sth like that has only 15% chance and hits ~1 times / sec
use blade trap for triggering hungering void. it has -% DA and a CC for most enemys (including boss monster)

Absolutely sick build. I dumped some more points in Spirit, because I found sick Aleksander pants and wanted to use them. Here is my char, just need to finish leveling it to 100 and farm some materials for Runebound Topaz. And replace the one garbage ring lol.

Why does the build get full nightblade for blade spirit? Blade spirit doesn’t seem that useful in the build or am I missing something? OP doesnt even bind any devotion procs to it.
