midmax's Notes

I recommend leveling hollow palm, fyregrass has a good guide on it. if you want to level with lightning strike, go life based and take the damage nodes for the weapon you want to use switch up the flat elemental damage so you get trinity up, i haven't tested this so idk the exact setup. just make sure your damage ranges have decent overlap. also, make sure you're standing close enough so that skitterbots can chill what you're hitting for tasalio's sign you can buy fidelitas' spike with good corruptions pretty easily x2 fidelitas's spike with herald of thunder, skitterbots, precision, and wrath / anger depending on trinity vaal lightning strike - added cold / lightning depending on trinity - trinity - elemental focus - elemental damage with attacks - inspiration switch to endgame gem setup with dagger when you respec to CI some tree stuff is dependent on what gear you can get don't use megalos unless you get some pretty good ones, if not using frenzy charge on timeless jewel, can you put an energy within there and take the es/life nodes take more suppression on the tree if you don't have enough on gear
