| ==Overview ==
This is a high dps min-max build designed for diabolically efficient farming. It in no way is intended for HC. If you like playing rogues & top dps classes where you sacrifice defense for more offense, this method is for you.
Passive Skills
90 Points taken. This would be considered a final build. This is identical to the build I used for months and months in CB. Updated & taken a few skills further for OB. Not gonna lie, it looks very strong.
Passive Skills while levelling
29 points taken.
59 points in. At this point we are close to linking the build in a circle. Once this happens we can refund 6 points.
Now only 60 points used.

Gameplay Tips
- Kill all the Bandits. Killemall. You will flog yourself at lvl 75 as penance to atone for your failure if you let one live.
- You don't have to use CI if you are a witch/shadow/templar. High ES & 65% recovery gets annoyingly expensive.
- Stack HP from gear & passives. Interestingly, that lil 12% HP node just south of the shadow start makes HP shadow/ranger an attractive option.
- Max your resistances (or 60%+) to overcome not investing in any defensive nodes.
- You don't have to invest in many defensive nodes.
- Have a specific ring for each resistance with 60%+ for heavy +% elemental dmg map mods.
- 2k hp 1500 es 10% dr 75/75/75 & an overwhelmingly destructive offensive barrage gets it done.
- 20% MAX (in this order)

- Anyone can strike it rich at any time.
- Don't use orbs with names one would use to describe an angel.
