Hi I've got a noob question for you.
Why would you put the support gem of melee splash damage to your dual strike when the gem of might and influence provides to melee splash?

You may be looking at an older character or piece of gear. You use splash (if you want) until you get Might and Influence...at which point you ditch splash (if you're using it).

While you're leveling, you can choose to use splash if you want or you can use something else...it's all about preference and what you're comfortable with early on.

Hey zrlormee, maybe I can already help here, you should look at Say_Ten's current character to know better what to aim for (click his name here in the forum, then characters, and so on) the guide is helpful but things have changed a bit as it is another league now. You can also find a most up to date and final skill tree that way.

However, if you are still leveling, all that is not that much important. It's more important that you work with what you've got - e.g. if you are missing health, go into health nodes first, if you are missing dmg, go into dmg nodes first. If you got gear but cant get the right colors on it yet because you are missing the Masters, use some other skill gems that appeal and work for now. You will get to the final goal of this build at Lvl 65-70 or so.

Hey Say_Ten!

Thanks for this build, it's the first I am using and I had a blast since I started with the game about 2 weeks ago.

All was smooth sailing until now, but I am really banging my head against T12+ maps. I'm fine with T10 maps (even rare ones are still OK with most mods) but after that I am just one-shotted left and right when playing rare maps. Especially bosses are a pain on some maps, even just blue and not rare (e.g. Sulphur Wastes) - and I'm absolutely avoiding reflect and double boss.

I am pretty new, so I am not sure if it's just me sucking at the game (still :) ) or if I can improve my tree / gear. I know my claws could be better but I don't have 10ex after 2 weeks of playing :D

I'm at 5200 HP, All res > 110% except fire @80%, Around 150k tooltip DPS with Dual Strike (All skills running except Vaal Haste).

Would be awesome if you could give me some tips!

Thanks in advance :)
