The question has been answered a few times, but given that the in-game description doesn't match it's logical that people keep asking about it.
As for the topic at hand...
Right now I'm at the 120 uber content. Bale was relatively easy and Kabraxis was doable, despite dying a few times. Some of the zones are noticeably more difficult. Tran Athulua is a pain and Duncraig is even worse. Part of this is the mechanics; there's a lot of stuff on the screen making it harder to notice certain mechanics. But another part might just be my setup. So I'm wondering what the next step forward is.
Right now I'm rocking the complete Witchunter set, 2 pieces of the Snake Pit set (boots and belt), 2 random rings and Quov Tsin's Talisman. Socketed with mostly dex gems and jewels to reach certain breakpoints. What should I be looking for in terms of gear upgrades? Wait until I have multiple Sacred Uniques to break up my set bonus? Or is there something in between to aim for?
As my skills, right now I have:
1 Blink
1 Domain
1 Shadow Refuge
25 Perfect Being
1 Queen of Blades
1 Noctule
25 Way of the Gryphon
1 Batstrike
25 Anathema
25 Way of the Phoenix
1 Melee Devotion
5 Tenacity
5 Endurance
15 Prismatic Cloak
1 Beacon
Question I have are;
- Is Tenacity / Endurance worth it? Feels like I'm dying mostly to mechanical mistake that cant by mitigated except dodging said mechanics.
- Is a value point in Way of the Spider worth it? With a lot of +skills 1 point might be ok?
- Is Queen of Blades good enough to put points in? If not, what else should I be doing with my points? Noctule itself doesn't feel worth it.
Regarding that last point, I'm wondering how good max Anathema is. Because...

2 Anathema gives %elemental damage to the one you actually have on gear like this ones
That's... not how Anathema works according to what I've learned/read.
Anathema boosts the conversion from dexterity into elemental damage on weapon bases such as Crystal Sword or Wrist Blade.
Wrists Blades convert 20-40% of Dexterity into lighting damage. Anathema increased that bonus by 5% + 1%/lvl. So at 25 points Anathema makes it so that sacred Wrist Blade converts 70% of Dexterity into lighting damage.
It doesn't boost any damage on your gear.
So if you are not using wrist blade, or running summon sin, anathema is worthless.
this isn't quite how Anathema works. Or Innate Elemental Damage gear for that matter. Wrist Blades deal 40% of dex as lightning damage. Adding 10% IED means you now deal 44% of dex as lightning damage, not 50%. So Max Anathema gives 30% IED. So for Wrist Blades that now means 52% of dex as lightning damage instead of 40%. (unless this is a display bug...)
Is that worth 25 points? Not sure... but unless I go for a more physical build (and thus Shadow Dancer), I don't know what else to use my points on. And a Physical build seems more difficult to set up, since there's no set for it. Can I get away with a good Shrine crafted sacred claw?
