Did we rely on block? all PSMD suggestions are no longer viable yes?
:oops: ;-| :shock:
Can you explain the prebuff section? do you want us to switch through all the suggestion after death to prebuff?

Cant say much as of now
Will begin working on it once the patch is out and hopefully update the guide accordingly
Adjusting base mana cost of askari, making the build nrg scaling is definitely gonna help with mana issues
from what i have interpreted from the notes, we maybe losing some damage since pmsd is now removed

It's very good at Dunc/Fautz farming since it just zapps the entire screen with Stormcall while remaining at a safe distance from any danger while Spirit of Vengeance summons tank all the monsters. I haven't tried Scosglen yet, but I bet it will be solid. I have a few videos of boss fights in a showcase thread if you're interested.

would be nice if you could upload some vids of fauzt farming!

I will upload one this evening!

Added a quick fautz sample to the thread!

I've maxed stormcall, askari lighning, conductivity. 1 pt thundermaiden and discharge. Also a couple of points into defenive passive tree. I'm at lvl 59 - ybers and important masteries are out of reach, soo.. the question , to where put points without the need of respc later ?
