Maybe use the other skill that we use ro lcl until you get sacred items?

magnetic field and hammer become your m ain skills mostly.

Yeah im aware of this, I use hammer mainly, with magnetic field for tougher targets but I still struggle very hard on damage now. Mana leech I could probably solve, its only an issue if theres a target that survive +1min with nothing else to kill around it but I think its just mainly damage issue.

try putting 10 points in hammer of zerae and less in war spirit, might help scale damage a little

Hey another quick question, Im following your skillbuild, maxed thundercrack, asterism, war spirit & balance and put 10 points into Wild&Free and defensive harmony, I now have 15 points left, what do I do with them seeing as I cant put more into the max skills for now

So... Honest question: How is an Honorific Sacred War-Scepter not better than Legion for HOZ mid-game? It has 6x sockets, 2x MO mods so you're sitting at 60% FCR, 30% LS, 50% MS, and roughly 4/5 the damage that legion would do. I've been rickrolling all ubers up to the mid-120 range with this scepter. Any reason why legion is better (The proc on melee attack doesn't benefit HOZ at all).

I’ma take a shot in the dark and say more survivability with the additional base block chance. Damage is comparable.
