Hello all,

Im lvl 85 and i wanna use my last respecc to go Echo Strike

i got cheap gear elite non eth Insight, lore, stealth, spirit monarch, etc.

I wanna respecc to Echo Strike but I am palying on P1 on bnet, i dont need P8 shenaigan, and I am lazy iw ont cast a hex and sigil etc except for maybe boss

I am looking for a build where I can use A3 trav curse/ aura to propage the curse and mostly (i am too lazy to farm for 40min for a special demon while I have a kids and I often die leaving my game on going tot ake care of him)

im hesitating between 2 build and open to other suggestion too:

#1
I want to be able to use 2x Defiler to clear faster (cow and CS), I prefer more aoe over more single target DPS since P1.

anyone has a skill tree for me.

was thinking
20 ES
20 Mirror Blade
20 Blade warp OR Levitation (is there one better then the other? (currently will go Levitation as it looks like its more usefull?)
20 demon mastery (to unlock 2x Defiler)
1 demon bind (is this enought)? and how does the aura work? is the A3 Ismail boss always have an aura or it means without lvl 20 here, i'll have to farm ismail for a while for a special aura?)
1 lethargy (for boss) ot help?
do i need any hex?
and dump the rest of the point into Blood Oath to make my defiler and Demon tankier and not die



#2
I havent found a build using Hex anywhere?!?! Anyone played with Hex Purge? would it help more then defiler for AOE clear?

Skills are fine. P1 you don’t need hex or sigil. Aura not to important but does help you really just need cursed on demon bind to do more then enough damage. Mana leach helps keep up echo spam

how so?

2x defiler makes the damage spread 50% of the damage done to a unit to 10 others units around, it definitely helps a lot for the clear speed

i litteraly said I was open to suggestion, idk when d2jsp, just become full os useless people answering, but its pretty bad for a forum , when there is just troll around

defilers and its not even close - you dont need any extra points in them just demon count from mastery

PS for bind you can gear swap when getting a demon - get up to 20 with skills and it will keep the aura/affix after swapping back. EASY To find +3 ammy, helm etc for a swap set

of interesting, still hard to get that many +SP early on

i usualyl just go for Ismail since hes always cursed, but he doesn't have an aura

do you know if it smore important ot have an aura without curse (hephasto) or a curse wihtout an aura (Ismail) ?
