I was looking for an alternative to the 2H crit build (yes, 2H crit) i started with because 2H still sucks.

this is a great build, and i came up with a tree very similar. you don't really have much choice if you are trying to max crit.

Really, if you look at this tree and see how hard it is to push the crit, no wonder using anything other than a dagger for crit is just not as good.

It looks like GGG has addressed this somewhat given all of these sneaky little 1H crit nodes, but there's still a major disadvantage in that a dagger has a much higher crit base. of course, you know all this :-) and I applaud your effort to do something else, that was my rationale trying for 2H-crit. But GGG still hates 2H, and you just can't make a very good tree given that you give up so much defense.

back on-topic. Even with IR, this build looks a little too glass cannon.

Any comments on how you manage to stay alive ?

Well i honestly just kill mobs as fast as i can and spam flasks.

A few days back i respecced into more defense instead of offense and now im at lvl 82 with 4.2k life, 40% block, 3k armor and 87k dps.

I dont really have too much of a problem staying alive, but i would recommend a more tanky build if youre going hardcore, because if crit Rhoas charge in your face and you get crit too often youre dead.

this will be my passivel tree and i will explain here why abyssus/coil combo e super good for this build.

so my main weapon

Spoiler

so I have 2.11 attacks per sec and from it self i got 312 DPS then everything i add will multiply, so for adding 40-60 just from the abyssus jumps to 417 105 more damage!

now imagine I am doing 312 DPS with but only with 1.7 Attacks per sec. this means abyssus will only add 85 dps. and so goes on for everything u add like Meginord's rings and stuff.

Conclusion = The Faster The Better!

BTW im NOT here to say you're not doing good, just trying to help you out to improve more and mby my self too :)

That's pretty awesome.

I'm just starting out and think that build looks like something I'd like to try. I'm only playing Rampage and just hit level 20 in Act 2.

Quite liking Dual Strike and Cleave for skills at the moment. I'm finding it hard to find any Strength gems.

I guess my real queries are, is Iron Reflexes an early take or one for later in the build? What are the best nodes to be getting next? How do I find more skill gems?

Thanks

Its still the same skill tree, i just took some defense nodes first and will take more dmg at higher levels instead of the other way around
