Thanks for the great answer. I got some lags, died twice in HC this league already so this one is SC. Still not sure about that long walk down for Dirty techniques, even though it's so good.
Are there any good nodes you were thinking about that didn't make the cut? The shield nodes with Command of Steel looks good to me, what you reckon?

I got some strong wands I found but my INT is too low, is that why we go daggers later?

Oh and, I'm considering using poison instead of slower projectiles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMtjt_gE2oA&feature=youtu.be any thoughts?

Ah all right, I'll skip Poison then.

I'll try get some defence, evasion and block. Maybe together all 3 can do some work. Got respecc nodes if it's bad. :)

I am following the build and at level 74 PHC and I have 16k+ dps and 51% armour reduction. Really loving fast paced gameplay. I am wondering..Is it worth taking master of the arena plus life nodes around bravery and not taking hired killer cluster.. which is 3,5 life per node.. bravery has 3life per node but it also has eva/life nodes around and fury bolts nodes. If I leave out 2 frenzy duration nodes I have the same life and everything else + more eva/armour and a bit more projectile dmg. Mostly wondering about master of the arena node double dip? I am also using consuming dark which is really cheap and does help a bit on bosses.. and thinking of using vaal haste for fast spam of ED on bosses.

Something like this?

p.s. just tested master of the arena node and it doesnt give any armor or evasion and respecced out of it.

Is the empower only better if everything is level 20 and I have the corrupted tabula? Or is the tooltip wrong?

Hey Ghazzy. I picked up a level 3 empower, but when I drop it in for my slower projectiles, my tooltip damage goes down by about 500. Is the empower only better if everything is level 20 and I have the corrupted tabula? Or is the tooltip wrong?

Usually Empower outperforms Slower Proj only if it's lvl 4 or higher.

This means that you need either to corrupt the gem, or to corrupt the Tabula, with +1. :)

When you have a lvl 21 ED, adding Empower 3 is a 23.1% DPS gain. Slower proj 20/20, on the other hand, is 29% MORE + 10% increased.

Empower 4 is a 36.6% DPS gain, so it's still true that Empower 4 > Slower proj 20 / 20 > Empower 3.

Heya!

That is a very good question. The Empower should be stronger with a tabula +1 before then they should be rather on par, so use Slower Proj for now!

Amazingly, the tooltip is actually accurate when it comes to ED!

Correct.
