[1.3] Dual Wield Static Strike, The Velocity Striker
Hello Fellow Exiles! I'm back and with a new favourite build of mine, I call it the Velocity Striker, mainly because it attacks fast! This build is softcore viable, not entirely sure about hardcore though because i haven't really experimented with hardcore and BoR :D The main reason why i decided to make this build was mainly because i was Atziri farming, found 2 catalysts, and were like "hmm, what if i make a Static Strike Dual wield lolsy build?" Well, through a few minutes of skill tree planning, item planning and stuff, i managed to make this monster. So, read along, learn, wonder!
Exactly How Fast can you attack?
Well, good question! I was playing a bit last night, when i came across an Echo Shrine, and thought the exact same question, well, as you can see in the picture below, pretty damn fast!
Note: I Didnt take a full screenshot due to the space, and i know people hate scrolling to the side :P
The Skill Tree that made this possible!
A more in-depth guide to the skill tree!
Points 1-31 Basically take all these nodes at duelist, ASAP, As they're closest to you, and more convenient, its perfectly balanced between DPS, and life. Points 32-64Travel to the ranged area, take Fencing, then Forces of Nature, before proceeding to the ranger tree, you will get so much DPS from here, and attack speed also, :D Points 65-93 Take the two life notables Heart of Oak, and Thick Skin for some nice Life boost, then start travelling to the Scion area, take the 3 Main melee nodes named: Studious Combatant, Duality, and Berserking, from there, go up to the Scion Life Wheel and take Constitution and Path of the Warrior Final Bits and pieces Finally, take Iron Reflexes (by now, you would be able to use Bringer of Rain) and then cut through the Scion Evasion Wheel, up to Harrier, then the Scion starter attack nodes, while you're there, take Hired Killer for some life and life gain on kill

Gear that made this possible
The legacy BoR is optional, this build is 100% possible without a legacy, and with a normal one, The Iron Ring might make you scratch your head, but its for the intelligence and life mainly, i didnt really have a spare alternative. Total Cost for me (i say for me, coz, Legacy BoR) 24 ex... Im broke now :(

I have a question, why don't you go crit? I mean, really, I'm curious.
For try, for see, and for know.
This is a buff |

" Crit nodes seemed a bit too far, since the majority of the crit nodes are in shadow, and templar (Galvanic Hammer) I decided to devote most of my points towards attack speed, WED, and BoR's 7L ability. Twitch: twitch.tv/slayertip

The crit nodes may seem far away, but they're more than worth it. I have a dual doryani char that goes to both shadow and templar. Using a belly and abyssus I get well over 200k dps on static strike along with 6k life and acro and phase. For skill tree look at my char BringerOfBloodyRain in my profile ( gear is dismantled).
Also, even for non-crit, your tree seems to be a bit inefficient. You place too much priority on aps nodes, whereas a tree like this would be a lot better. Just my opinion. It could be that you want a build that attacks as fast as possible, though in that case I would recommend dual wielding a couple of jewelled foils with t1 aps rolls. Easily getting over 13 aps. For try, for see, and for know.

" Well, the thing is, the only reason why i wanted to make this build was mainly because i wanted to have fun, i didnt know it would become that great, so, my main plan was to take as much attack speed as possible, and make use of the Rangers melee nodes, as they are pretty awesome. Nice on 200k dps btw :) i wasnt focusing on DPS as much as i was on fun though :P thats why i build, not for deeps, but for funs! Twitch: twitch.tv/slayertip
