Loving this build, especially for survivability. Any thoughts on doing Gore (5% reduced health, 30% life leeched, 40% physical damage) or Perfectly Place Knife (30% increased crit on bleeding targets, 20% to aggravate bleeding on crit) for Amulet?

Hey just a tip, you might know this already, but you can get +1 max frenzy charges in the implicit of a glove with corrupt. You can look for it in the trade with the "enchant" option of maximum frenzy

@michaelwu23704 күн бұрын
Hey thanks for the guide this is by FAR the most fun I've had on Blood Mage so far and I really appreciate you putting this together. I have a couple questions: 1. Does taking the unique helmet take priority even if it means not being able to be res capped? (I'm running t15 maps with like 80% success map to map) 2. How are you getting 75% chance to not consume corpse? I'm seeming to be sitting on 50% between tree passives and the unique wand? 3. Any tips for minions getting stuck in tight areas? I bound minion movement to a button on my mouse which is huge but they still get stuck and often disappear if they lag behind forcing me to wait awkwardly for them to respawn. 4. I am level 88 and have followed the guide for nodes but don't have enough points yet to get some of the critical nodes like For the Jugular and True Strike. Would you prioritize Crit nodes over say % increase to physical damage? 5. I am running around 5-6 brutes right now because of a nice spirit roll on my amulet. I'm missing minion levels on it. Would you prioritize minion level over spirit (more brutes)? I am already running into issues with my brutes dying because I seem to have only 50% consume corpse chance. Thanks for any and all help everyone!
@jacobst34 күн бұрын
Hey! 1. I'd probably cap res, an ES helmet is still good 2. support gem in DD to not consume 25% 3. make them back up and go forward gain, thats it really :( 4. Depends on your crit change/damage really, the crit is quite good, id say test both! 5. if your damage feels good enough, the extra brutes are probably worth it for less jank, try a cleric too. if you feel you need more dmg, start looking for gem levels!

@MrPwnedxD4 күн бұрын
Hey man, loved your dd build and funnily enough I also started a frenzy ranger. Couple things I've noticed for this build: -Kitokos Current is really good to sustain frenzy while mapping. -I use a whole crossbow setup as my main mapping/single target setup. Galvanic shards for clear/frenzy buildup and shockburst for single target. Your scaling lightning anyway and with 24 weapon swap points you can run them side by side pretty well - getting a way higher evasion chest allows you to go for acrobatics. like 2k+ is fine - still havent figured out how to scale lightning on spiral volley since its pure phys. probably flat lightning on quiver/rings and later howag can solve this. else youre scaling two different damages wich gets awkward - i put some %chance to cahin from terrain stuff on spiral volley. theres a support gem, tree nodes near the attack speed per dex node and jewels. still experimenting with this one, but coverage should be a lot better - stacking shock magnitude on the bow setup for stormcaller arrow big shocks is very nice to scale shockburst dmg - mana per enemy killed is great for mana sustain - ripwire ballista with the 3 font supports is cute for bosses, but not too important - Cast on shock setup for voltaic mark and conductivity seems nice if you can get the spirit for that. probably have to sacrifice evasion on chest though if you dont get an insane amulet Not to sure how else to leverage frenzy charges. Barrage with snipe seems clunky with bad charge sustain on single target. The support for more attack speed per frenzy consumed seems not worth it since you attack very fast anyway and the long attack time skills have some flat added attack time. Charge infusion could work but seems a bit inconsistent and low value with only frenzys. Just my 2c, looking forward what you will do with the build
@jacobst34 күн бұрын
@MrPwnedxD hey thanks for the reply! I tried kitkos and sustaining the frenzies was easier, just sucks losing a glove slot. Good idea with the weapon swap to crossbow, I should try that. Most of my gear needs upgraded, will take acro if I dont get a lot. I did the chain terrain too and think it's a good choice. Originally I wanted to do the cast on shock setup, but the int requirement is pretty brutal. I'll try some of your other suggestions!

(Only got Minion Max Life) I use Warriors/Clerics instead of Brutes cuz I like party! I wanted SRS to have Maim/Blind/Cull etc...
