Mathil's Evasion Crit DW Sword Cycloner - Smashes Atziri

Sure, it should be viable, as many things are. However you will only lose dps as the tree really isn't built around using axes and also soul taker has very shitty crit strike chance. If you do feel like making a DW crit build with soul taker, then I recommend taking a look at fiqst's cyclonus build, which does not take any weapon specific passives.

Im relatively new to the game so can you compare the two builds for me and suggest one for a noob like me? :3

So, I saw the gear you posted. For you the best build to make would be the cyclonus. It's pretty much tailor made to your gear. Your dagger looks fine for the time being.

Mathil's build is focused around taking advantage of the new sword clusters in the ranger area. That is why using a soul taker is really bad for this build.

Hey, planning on doing this build for the one week race, was wondering in what order I should allocate the passive? Do I go for the shadow area first or the Marauder/templar area first?

Would a phys doryanis be good for the build?

Sure, you'd just lose some life though.

Anyone planning on updating this for 1.3 ? looking around for a crit cyclone build for 1.3

Your tree is perfect.
Beside switching to Lightning coil you could try a bloodseeker as main hand weapon/swap variant.

Thanks for this build Mathil, i really enjoyed it throughout the rampage league, i was surprised by how good it could be even on a low budget

I'm hoping it will still be good in 1.3, from what i've seen so far it hasn't changed too much

Here is my humble attempt at a quick draft of a 1.3 version, critiques welcome

This build, as it is, is pretty much dead in 1.3.

If you just look at the left side of the passive tree:

Old version:
310% crit chance
70% crit multiplier


1.3 version:
135% crit chance
25% crit multiplier

Also assassination node loses 5% crit multiplier

This build didn't rely on block but you still had some. Now Acrobatics reduces block chance by 30% so you won't be blocking even that little bit you used to.

EDIT:

Well I tried to make some kind of a build. Had to spend almost all points to make it kinda work and there might be some points which are wasted. What do you think? (I guess any build will work if you just throw enough points in it)
