The tree and gear updated for 1.3?
How do you think this build compares to your 2h sword Mara in this patch?

Well its easier to get more dps with this build, but its also slightly more dangereous to play with it than the sword mara because crit and reflect is kind of dangereous, and with staffs LGOH is not a viable support gem since theyre too slow to properly benefit from it.

basically the 2h sword mara is really tanky with cheap gear and manages to get good dps and the duelist gets high dps with cheap gear but because its missing LGOH and its crit based its less tanky than the mara(unless you get acuities of course)

Thanks, that's a very helpful answer. After 300 something hours of PoE I'm wanting to try a melee build for the first time and these two builds of yours caught my eye. I think I'll give the Mara a whirl to err on safety's side!

Updated the builds for Uber atziri

Not sure why this build is no longer in the build list thread as updated for 1.3

Anyway, I'm running this build simply because I wanted a Staff build that was cheap and powerful, plus I never used cyclone in a build so this was perfect for my needs in a new league. I can see where the issues will surface later on but I will just have to adapt. I am at level 54 and still going strong. Thanks VictorDoom for the build.

List is updated, thanks for pointing it out

Well there arent many issues that youll run against with this character, it works with just rare gear and mediocre staff very well and you can do any all of the game content

Staves are so slow but hmm..... do you think this could be adapted into a Staff Flicker Strike Build?

Not sure if you tested or can test it, I currently can't and I am not sure if the hits would be hard enough to keep the Flicker going.

Youd just have to get an extra frency charge or two, the hits are big enough, especially if you use multistrike
