The levelling tree has not been updated and is literally impossible since there are disconnected notes a couple of places half the tree is dicsonnected.

Ah thank you I didn't catch that, I assume that means the regular version is up to date and good to go?

edit: I was told his build was the better choice over Liftingnerds but I know not nearly enough to judge that for myself.

There were a couple that had been skipped over so I just went back through them all for the last couple pages to doublecheck.
It was just a way of saying if you got skipped, try again.

He picks a 10% projectile speed, 6% projectile damage node over a 10% damage, and there's also a seemingly random 8% mana node. Both of those choices are minor, but seem bad on the surface. Other than that, the biggest difference is that he doesn't take Phase Acro which is a considerable investment, but also really nice.

I've been following Neversink's build (the new version obviously) and apart from a couple of gear related hicups towards the end of merciless, it's been a pretty smooth ride. I just looked at the old levelling trees and tried to follow it roughly. Honestly at low levels it doens't make that much difference which nodes you get first because you are leveling so fast and once you are higher you should have some more idea what would be good.

FWIW I went east from Ranger and got the bow area, then down south to the big crit node, then did acrobatics around 35 ish I think, the up to the Revenge of the Hunted life, went south west towards Duellist for the life, then Phase Acro and up to shadow for the life and crit. Doubtless I could have done it slightly more optimal but it's worked plenty good enough.

I would recommend holding off on crit nodes, since you can't be sure to have a good levelling bow with a good crit chance and it doesn't scale amazingly before you have a lot of it whereas the physical wheel to the east will give you a ton of damage no matter what.

Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.
What are some good auras self-buffs for a Marauder using Cyclone linked with the Blood Magic gem? I want to leave a little bit of mana left over to summon golems and poo poo. Running Herald of Ash and Determination right now.

EDIT: Herald of Ash isn't an aura :downs:

So I've found that pubbies will buy Blood Magic gems for 1 alch like they are hotcakes. I can buy them from the shop for 1 chance, and thought this was a great way to get something reliably useful from chance orbs. Sadly I ran out of chance orbs, so I decide to post an add looking to buy some at 2 per alch. Some guy whispered me offering me 32 for 12, then when I accepted he promptly sold me 62 instead :catstare:

Keep it. It'll be worth more as the league goes onward.

Pretty sure exalts drop in price once they peak. I'd sell it right now for 60c that sounds about as high as it's going to get.

Yeah but won't you be able to buy more poo poo with an exalt as the league goes forward and there's actually more than a handful of good uniques/rares floating around.

It's less the orb value of exalt going up and more the value of items coming down later on.

I am holding a live frag grenade.
So I currently have a scion with a tree that looks like this. The idea was just to grab all the potent area of effect and skill duration nodes around the strength/intelligence area, and it wound up with a lot of life and mana regen, dual cursing and curse effectiveness as a side bonus.

I'm using Abyssal Cry, Contagion and Essence drain right now, but I'm wondering if there are any other interesting builds that follow the same skeleton. Firestorm is all that I can immediately think of.

Some level 35ish weapons dropped that have 6 sockets, but only have 3-4 links. Are they worth anything, or should I just get rid of them? The loot filter made a big deal of them, so I've kept them in my inventory for now.

As Cyclone I would consider Hatred + Herald of Ash + Arctic Armor, reserving 100% of your mana. AA doesn't do much while you're moving but the slow is actually really nice.

4 link somewhere with like Enduring Cry + Leap Slam + Faster Attacks + Golem, OR put it on your CWDT setup in place of a curse; CWDT + IC + Duration + Golem/Curse (I like Enfeeble, Temp chains also good)

I just found myself an Alpha's Howl, and wondering what colours to put on it. I'm using Neversink's guide and am currently using Hatred and Herald of Ice. I was thinking a red slot for reduced mana and three green for Hatred, Herald of Ice and Haste?

Also if I could get a guild invite next round, Parysatis.

Reduced mana doesn't work on Auras anymore unfortunately. I think I would try and fit another herald in there if you can.

They don't get the +2 level because they don't have the aura tag on them, but they should still benefit from the 8% reduced mana reserved.
