You might miss on some drops because of Ninjas or whatever but honestly not that much great stuff drops in Normal anyway and once you do get Minion Instability you can solo farm Cruel+ fairly easily. | ||

Whiteout seeing your tree i would say get more Phys-DPS nodes or use some Elemental-Attack (Lightning Stirke, Glacial Hammer or Fire-Nocluehowitscalled and grab a bit of elemental dmg if you can't get anymore Phys-Dam? This seems to be mainly a Templar build but about half the Talents are spent in the Marauder "beginner" area so...? Leaping Slam could also help a bit, i found leaping way better than Shieldcharge. I am lvl 30ish I have basically just +life/+life reg/armor/res/str nodes for survival. Still there's is no 'ubar-aoe' skill like frost nova but I guess I just have to managee | ||

I'm not intending to run a minion build once I get through A2/A3 Cruel, should I just stick a point in it anyways for leveling purposes? ->build Double totem + double curse, just dun have the spell totems (nor curses) yet. | ||

It kills enemies on 10% life or less when hit by supported skills, does that mean if i hit something on full health and it would survive on 10%hp it would die or do I have to hit it again? If it is the latter then wouldnt I kill something on only 10%hp on my next shot most of the time anyway? Or is it something more used for bosses? I'm pretty sure when they are hit to 10% or less they die. It might even work if you hit them then the hp goes to 10% very very shortly after, similar to how infernal blow or dominating blow works. It is a ton more useful for mobs with a lot of hp or crazy regen. | ||

I suppose I should have been more vigilant about replacing my truly terrible gear, but it seems like such a waste to spend an Alch (or more) on random low-mid level gear that you kinda out-grow pretty fast anyways :/ And nobody selling rares in trade chat seem to be interested in much less than an alch per rare. | ||

I don't have a chain yet and fork was pretty mergh. My current combo is LA-WED-LMP-Pierce Pierce is mostly worthless but it's the only thing worth putting in the combo. I used to use fork but pierce seemed to out perform it (im only lv39). I clear insanely fast without chain as of Act1 cruel so I can't imagine what it will be like once I have my real combo. I will replace pierce with chain whenever I get one and then look for a 5L to add loh/leech. | ||

They also give bonus damage as they level. Also it is really low mana costly. Firetrap is a good skill to link these as it is DoT and culling will just activate at one moment and kill stuff :D | ||

But pierce only shines in large groups, and most of the hard stuff in this game seems to come in small groups. Yeah I only have pierce thrown in cause I don't have any other support gem to fill in it's place yet. Until I have a 5L/6L and the appropriate gems, I'll keep using this. I mostly use this combo for multiple mobs and fire arrow with faster projectiles and crit damage (again just because) and I've had a lot of early success. I should probably start trading to get some appropriate stuff instead of relying on self found now that I'm in cruel. My gear really isn't too bad though, this game is so good. ^^ | ||

I'd say it helps a lot if you're doing a lot of summoning but if you're going to drop it then maybe not. Even if its not the main focus of your build having a spell totem with minion instability is always a nice way to tank a room of mobs. | ||
