Started leveling my Spin-to-Win guy yesterday.
Gear:
Head: Decayed Skull reduces void/necro damage by partially converting into physical, and we have lots of armor. Also boosts Void damage, combo with Dreamthorn.
Amulet: Bleeding Heart attack speed and leech
Weapon: Hammer of Lorent into Dreamthorn into The Last Laugh
Chest: Yrun’s Wisdom huge boosts to damage and life leech, when you need them.
Rings: Arboreal Circuit x2, for breezing through the campaign, then switched to The Invoker’s Scorching Grasp x2, for added damage (and incidentally ignites)
Belt: Vipertail into Isadora’s Tomb Binding (300 armor)
Gloves, Boots and Relic: couldn’t really find effective uniques/set items. Riverbend Grasp, Isadora’s Gravechill, Mourningfrost, Eterra’s Path, Soulfire all easily replaceable by found rares.
Update on gear: Switched to crafted helmet, gloves, belt and boots, all with double Glancing Blow affixes for 100% Glancing Blow. Crafted Relic with crit multi / crit chance, and protections.
I don’t like nodes that add damage every 3 seconds. with Warpath you’ll be hitting 3-4 times a second, so with say Sovnya that’s 9-12 hits of 95 base damage compared to a single hit that adds 8 damage per point. That’s 0.7-0.8% dps per point, not worth it really. and 30% increased averages to 3% per hit, also pitiful.
In Void knight I recommend taking life leech instead. In Forge Guard I put 5 points into str+att node, 3 points into armor when hit, then 9/10 chance to manifest shields (plus 2 prereq. nodes). I tested Bleed+Ignite node and was not satisfied with results. All other points go into life+stun, increased damage when hit, and crit nodes.
I’m dying mostly to necrotic damage. Trying to boost my effective hp, so among 15 points in Paladin took mostly life nodes.
Took Volatile Reversal as 5th skill, for attack speed boost, both void rifts, +30% damage taken by enemies, and Time Rot procs (I specced my Warpath into more damage to time-rotten enemies).
Currently level 71, 1100 hp, 100% glancing blow, died at wave 140+ in that huge necrotic aoe that a huge skeletal thing drops under its feet.
