I tried your other Lich build and can’t stay in Reaper Form long enough due to missing healing effectiveness affix.
Does it build work better that I can stay in Reaper form longer?

3

Well i dont know about longer but this build does Leech so as long as your attacking you should stay in it

4

Great Guide, Thank you!

Trouble is that the decay because faster and faster therefore comes a moment when we don’t leech enough to sustain the huge amount of decay. :wink:

6

I take it the current Loot filter is not working?

7

Welcome to the community!

It should be working. What issue?

8

Was just wondering, since I noticed you been updating them on some of your guides ^^

9

Great and detailed guide, some things changed in last patch though (in Lich tree u need different queue when putting points, cuz they mixed the requirements for some passives).

Anyway, very smooth and easy leveling, really hard to die if u pump up your health a bit, capping all res with this build is pretty easy, u have huge boost for necrotic from Acolyte tree, u have another huge boost for both poison and necrotic from reaper form.

Also, it’s pretty easy to transition into permanent Aura of Decay variants.

Thanks Boardman!

Is there a more up to passive date tree for this for 0.8.2.l?

11

I havent gone back through this guide to change the passives around. You can respec easily in LE though so just testing stuff out wont set ya back at all :slight_smile:

Its on the list to get updated soon :slight_smile:

12

okay great thanks! Some of the stuff I was worried around seem to have just moved around in the tree. I was looking for Crippling insight but it’s further down in the tree. I took Dance with the dead instead and grabbed crippling insight later

Great guide!

The decay does ramp up, but I am having no trouble staying in reaper form through the monos, currently working on the 90s. Very rarely do I fall out of reaper form before I finish the mono/boss. If the map is slow for some reason, with fewer mobs than I would like, I might have to reset Reaper, but that doesn’t happen to often.

15

Then I am the problem. ^^
