Ok so I'm suppose to have 5 reduced mana and not be able to find melee splash? This is a stupidly expensive version of this build wouldn't it be better to go for swords over daggers the nodes are much closer and they deal more brace damage

It is dagger based if you can read what he has written, but i agree it is an expensive version but for me it works well. Reave is really nice to use so u can use that untill u find the melee splash. Good luck

So I apollogize for changing everything here, was using this for a base for my hardcore character and am still learning things as I go. This is completely different then where it was.
