Duelist - [3.10] From League Starter to Shaper – Cheap, Tanky, Fast and Fun Physical ST – Very Detailed Guide - Forum

Thanks a lot for the build, enjoying it a lot so far. I've hit tier 10 maps and can clear it pretty well (Delirium still randomly kills me but w/e). But i feel I'm a bit squishy with only 5.1k life at level 82. Can you please help me with where I should focus next? I do have a couple of currency to spend, but I might want to wait until I can 6 link my chest or buy a new one. Opinions? Thanks a lot.	Posted by kazen on Mar 23, 2020, 6:19:08 PM Quote this Post
All your gear has mid to high life rolls which is good. They can all be higher but I would definitely start with the armour. A 6L is mandatory as you progress in the game. Either a Belly or a rare with 2 life rolls like the one you have. I prefer buying instead of gambling with fuses but there's also the option of spending 5ex to get the 1500 fuses for the recipe.

You just need him for the buff not for damage. He gains HP with levels and is relatively resilient at lvl20.

For anyone wondering. Not sure if the damage is actually worth it, but it's working for me thus far. You're right, the belt is considered to be the source of the damage. The downside is "This damage is not affected by damage modifiers as it is considered as reflected damage.". Yeah, in my PoB swapping retch for a stygian with +phys to claws and life jewel was ever so slightly more damage. Flask utility is no joke though haha.

Made some good progress today.. 6 link 6.1k life 21/23 ST Doing tier 14 and still dying to delirium, but I think this is not build related, lol. Any opinions on future upgrades? Where should I focus for more damage now? Maybe try some cluster? Have you experimented with it? Thanks!	Posted by kazen on Mar 24, 2020, 9:38:30 PM Quote this Post

You can upgrade most items if you have the money but you're now in the diminishing returns territory. Maybe you should start saving up for a watcher's eye.

The only thing I can guess is that it's a playstyle issue. Try watching the videos, that might help.

Is there a reason why we opt out of the Impale nodes to the west of Duelist start? Since we're leaning into Impale a bit, seems like it would be enough of a DPS boost to consider taking.	Posted by realzoso on Mar 25, 2020, 12:49:40 PM Quote this Post

I'm a little confused as according to the gem links there is four 4L set-ups if we use Pride. Do we swap out one of the CWDT set-ups? If so, which one?	Posted by Eternal_Noob on Apr 2, 2020, 11:30:12 AM Quote this Post
