[1.3 VIDEO GUIDE] Les Bo The Kitchen Blender 2-Handed Double Strike/Vaal Cyclone Build[HC/SC Viable]

Just one quick mention. If you are leveling as Spectral Throw, pick up Iron Grip as you pass it. It will only cost you one point and give you a well needed 20-30% DPS boost while going through the skill tree. You can always spec out of it later. It's only one point and makes a big difference.

That is a very good point you are making here NYEconmist. I actually did the same when leveling, and yes, it makes a nice difference. Thank you for reminding me :)

another suggestion for uniques
-mings heart for deeps
-5l belly of the beast for increase flask recover mod(awesome)
-Terminus Est as a nice stepping stone to endgame High damage 1,5+ Aspd 2h sword
Ok, so I just hit 61 in rampage with this build. I had a few chaos/alchs from leveling my (boring as all hell) bow ranger to 53 first.

Here is a tip for leveling this I feel might help.

Cyclone: Until you get a 5-link, cyclone felt much easier to stay alive with than DS+BM+LGoH+Melee Splash. You hit faster (without multi-strike) and you have free AOE so you can use Melee physical instead of Splash. However, you have to be aware of desync through doorways.

At level 59 I got a white 5-link and rolled +HP and one Resist, then i regaled it so it became a rare and I could roll another resist on it with the vendor. Total cost 1c 1regal 3 alch. (maybe 20 alts)



I couldn't get anything link this in a trade for less than 12c.

Also is it just me or are Twohand Swords really cheap?

Giving this a shot, your video was awesome! It looks really fun. I started from Duelist because I have half-hearted ambitions of doing the 'all classes to lvl 65' challenge, but that shouldn't change too much since the first path is to connect Duelist to Ranger.

Anyway, my real question - why swords? The accuracy implicit on swords is just taunting me looking at them. Is it the slightly higher Attacks per Second? It doesn't seem that significant just browsing the wiki, but I suppose when amplified by ~185% it makes a bigger difference than it might seem at first? The Accuracy implicit just feels so... wrong... with Resolute Technique.

Thanks! Great build and great video, really appreciate it.

Quick Question

What would you put in a 4L for DS and Vaal Cyclone to make this viable until you get a 5L?

Thank you very much for telling me MerrMan!

Haha yea I know what you mean. It is because of the attack speed yes. Axes and maces feels a lot slower when playing this build (I haved tested this) a being able to move quickly and attack with high attack speed is very important for this build.

It is possible for you to spec out of resolute technique if you prefer. By doing so you can change the skill-tree around a bit and focus on crit damage. It is however a lot more expensive to get gear for that kind of build, but it is also very powerful :)
