And for The Sleep charm, what you recommend? Triune Trophy?


Fire Spell is a personal preference. I like to get some elemental damage in there and options for rings are rather poor.

For Sleep I'm using double triune. You can look at the charms at the end of the newer videos. There's bookmarks in the videos.

WHAT?? I didnt even see you recommended that. SPELL damage works for SPELLS, and way of the phoenix is not a spell, or i have no idea why else you would recommend that. :facepalm:

I'd also like to add some constructive criticism:

, but im not too sure about that.

6, You should NOT play storm crows from lvl1. Just play with claw, it is much better and faster. Respec later to it, before 50 i guess, or maybe even later. You can use the same gear, since both are just generic weapon damage builds, just swap your claw for a throwing knife.

Unless you're using
Buzzbomb
, spell damage does nothing for you. The character sheet lies, spell damage doesn't increase your damage at all.

It sure increases Way of the Phoenix damage, doesn't it?

Also Buzzbomb really fun to play, but a bit laggy with Whychwind :)

I'm also pretty sure that speedcalc is wrong just like it is for javazon and your actual throwing frame is 7 FPA @ 86 IAS.

It doesn't, unless you hit the target with melee attack. It's called lying character sheet for a reason.

Thanks for that info. Never stop learning about the game. Corrected the MO selection on the guide.

How important are the +skills from the Natasha's Legacy for this build? Would a low roll be usable if the pierce was decent?

absolutely +Skills is more a gimmick. PR and Max Res is the important part
