[3.9] The Bringer of Leech - Blade Flurry -League Starter -Budget-New Player Friendly!

Bump, thanks for this great build!
Hey, @TheNotoriousPIG, Happy new year!

I have been tweaking around with this build, and now sitting at lvl 90 in Abyss SC.

Currently having fun with Lightpoacher with 3 abyss jewel influence (1 in Lightpoacher, 2 in Tree) giving me 3 spirit charges at a time, and non-stop trash monster cleaner. Super fun!

Currently, Blade Flurry release at 6 Stages is 615K damage with all realistic buffs turned on, at 5581 Life with all res capped.

Here is the Pastebin URL: https://pastebin.com/YaSkkFY9

Please take a look and let me know if you wanna team up for some high tier stuff sometimes! :D

I need help. I see people like above having double my DPS but i can't figure out where it comes from. Tried different aura setups etc.

Flasks i need to figure out still. I just don't see where i'm missing 300k dps? Are the abyss jewels that bad and i should get something else?

Oh, i have around 7 exalts to upgrade stuff if you can figure out what and where. Thanks!

Hey guys, are Opal Rings any good for this build?

I have this one and was wandering if was worth it to use here.

Is it possible to run a 5l Belly of the Beast instead of the 6l recommendation? Or is it a downgrade compared to a bringer of rain? I have a 40% life, 14% ele res belly that won't 6l. My current POB DPS sits at around somewhere like 700-800k on a conc effect, 600k on an increased aoe effect - this is with a damage on full life instead of chance to bleed.

Very cool, I love when people add their own twist to this build. I may have to add your stuff into the guide and throw you some cred! PM me your in game name and I'll add ya. I've been levelling and testing out some new stuff since I only used Bringer of Leech simply as a league starter and once I got a bit of currency to fund the build I theorycrafted. Currently I'm on my 2nd char to make this new build viable, and it's looking pretty good. If I can get it to kill Guardians it will be my next build I type up!

I checked it out, to start you're running a 5 link, so you're losing an entire support gem worth of damage. So, I'd recommend using that currency to get a 6 Link Belly of the Beast. You're missing your Punishment curse and Phase Run buff setup with CWDT. That adds a lot of damage. Also, that jewel you having above Sentinel is giving you about the same DPS as if you took the Berserking nodes, and it cost you 2 less points. You lose a little res, but you currently have no res on gloves, and very little on both rings and an upgrade from those should be very cheap at this point in the league.

1. Get a 6 link Belly, or even go back to Bringer of Rain so you have an extra dmg gem.
2. Respec out of Sentinel and that jewel. Put points into Berserking and a couple life nodes.
3. Go to the guide and look for how to setup your CWDT, you should have two of them.

I changed these in your PoB and it gave me 378,000 dps with Inc AOE and 573,000 dps with Conc Effect

They're decent, from what I see every 30% increased elemental damage adds about 10,000 dps. Remember flat phys is king. In comparison, 7-12 added phys adds about 20,000 dps. If your res are fine then that's a pretty good ring esp since it has 70 life, added phys and the ele dmg. If you can sell that and get a Steel ring with double phys and similar life/res it would benefit you a little more though.

It is definitely a downgrade for damage, but an upgrade for life, resist, armour and evasion. Plus Belly has that nice life flask effect. Think about it this way, are you willing to lose all the Belly stats to have an extra damage gem? Try both and see which feels better to you.

Why no vaal pact? seems like it would go rally well with this build
What would be best for me to upgrade? Character name is BingBongButtHole and here's my pastebin link: https://pastebin.com/vZs0dM5G

This build has been great as a league starter! I wasn't able to start playing until after the new year and everything has been cheap and it's a lot of fun.

vaal pact has been heavily nerfed with 3.1 (no longer insta-health)

furthermore with the bloodseeker there is no need for vaal pact - all it would do is get rid of health regen, which is a MASSIVE negative (when you already have instant leech from the bloodseeker)
what's the general consensus on stygian vises? I feel like if they are well rolled, they can be very powerful, much more powerful than any unique belt (especially the belt of the deceiver).

would you stick to the belt of the deceiver (and why)? or do you think a good stygian vise would work as well (if not better)?
