[1.3?block nerf][1.2]Beyond - The Demon Hand Tank- Wings of Entropy Cleave -Beginner friendly/Cheap-

The Demon Hand Tank



1.3 UPDATE
dual wield block got nerfed,build is going to be less tanky but still Strong



Good Morning Exiled my name is PoJama and i've been playing Wing of Entropy based character since they got released.
I dodn't have much time to play this new league,so i came up with a really cheap/beginner friendly/semi-casual build that allow me to play all end-game content.
This build is really easy and fun to play but most important it's crazy cheap.
1 exalted orb should be enough to get all the "must have item" to make it works


- 58% block / 58% spell block (36% block/spell block after 1.3 nerf)
- 7-10k armor
- 6k hp @ lvl 90
- 20k+ dps 4linked cleave (40k+ dps on a 6link)
- able to solo almost every map mod/boss in the game






**Gameplay Video**





**Levelling**


- Let's start,really easy to level up, Cleave for aoe and Dual Strike for single target.


- Grace+Herald of ash as aura while levelling,remember to get 2% mana leech on gear,Wurms molt is the way to go.


- Ready to swing some Wings,when you reach act 3 merciless you should be able to run hatred+grace and have some mana free to spam your Cleave.


- Goal for End-Game is to get a 5-6L Wings of Entropy and a good Belly of the Beast,if you want more HP a Kaoms heart is also a really good but expensive option



**Deal with the bandits**

-Normal: Help Oak (+40 base life)
-Cruel: Help Kraityn (+8% attack speed)
-Merciless: Help Oak (+1 max endurance charge)




**Key Item + Poe.trade Link for easy shopping**

Stone of Lazhwar

+50% spell block is a Must have item for this build,just get a bad rolled one for 1-2 chaos and your're good to go


End-game goal is to get a good rolled Lazhwar

as chest piece i'd recommend using Belly of the Beast ,but you can use any chest with 80+ life and res if you can't afford a Belly

My Other Build

What are your thoughts about bringer of rain helmet and cleave linked in it? Wouldnt that work well?

bringer of rain + Wings is a great combo,i'm not using a BoR on Beyond cause i'm playing semi-casual and i need a cheap way to overcap my res for ele weak map and trying to get as much chaos res as possible,the chaos demon/bug on high level map hit like a truck and it's really hard to cap res and chaos res if you're using a BoR.but if you have a lot of currency go for it, bor+wings is awesome. (4L on BoR -Cleave -Multistrike -conc effect -added fire)

What do you think of Carcass Jack since it affects Cleave with its AoE modifiers ?

i don't think Carcass Jack is a good chest piece for this kind of build,the increased AoE can be appealing but the HP loss is huge and you will only get a small dps boost,Carcass is also quite expensive compared to a Belly of the Beast.

Alright thanks for the info and screens. Great built BTW, simple and fun.

One more question if you'd indulge me. Since you seem to be in a position to test most things out. I'm looking into something more defensive than vaal haste on my cdwt setup. I've come across vaal cold snap, 32 souls now. The wiki says it always freezes. Do they mean literally always or only when you crit. If "always" it would be a great cheat death cwdt option ?

just to clarify CWDT or any trigger gem cannot trigger vaal skill gems, even if the player has the required amount of souls,vaal haste is on my 4Link with CWDT just to get the support from Increased Duration.
Vaal cold snap is bad ,require 64 soul on merciless and "the base duration of freeze is proportional to the damage dealt by the initial hit of cold damage relative to the target's maximum life.
If the duration would be less than 300 milliseconds, the freeze effect is not applied."
so you need a build that does Tons of cold damage to freeze mobs on merciless and even in that case vaal cold snap is still a bad gem
