[0.11.2] THE BEST DW Simple Tanky High Dps Hybrid Cleave GUIDE-7 auras/30kDPS/5.5kHP/37kArm

Oh, i found out. There is difference in cleave and double strike, just not in heavy strike i use as single-target attack instead of double strike. It seems to me that heavy strike does better damage even with 1 weap,and better knock/stun redution so that's why i use it preferably to double strike. Sorry for extra spam then, the question would be rather - is it not better to use heavy strike over double strike?

So I'm making a cleaver on Onslaught since my Ele Cleave Templar died yesterday at 53. Does this build has a better survivability? I really want to reach at least map stage in Onslaught

It all depends on your gear, i dont know what was your passive tree at ur templar but i can see my build has a lot of %hp nodes + %armour but it won't work if u dont have good gear. If you want more survivability you should use 1h + shield esspecialy at Onslaught, when everything is harder. If you will find a better gear you can decide to go Dual wield. Thats my opinion for Onslaught/Hardcore players.

after testing my new ranger, is think dmg reduction do a HUDGE difference and reaching cap dmg reduction seem to be WAY better then a extra 700 hp mabey.
-what you think?
p.s:i guess i will just stop my duelist since i wanted to make a better version of my ranger but might end up...worste.will reroll and try a new build on anarchy i think lol.

Build looks fine, i can say i aggre that high dmg reduction is better than 700hp, but care vs ele dmg bosses. :p
Btw before you decide if u wanna start as a ranger, they will rework ranger start tree:

Hey

How do you feel about dropping the cruel and merc oak rewards (18% phys + 1 end charge) and getting 2 passives instead? I'd use them to get dervish. So instead of 18% phys 1 end charge I'd get 16% phys and 12% block.

Hey, nah i don't aggre, 18% phys dmg reward is perfect now, its like Swashbuckler node. Only 1 point for that high dmg increase.
About endurance charge - you need it, even to capp dmg reduction or resists.

single hard hitting mobs (so far on my level 64) are very easy to deal with for me (only expectation are unique void dogs in docks with MLP).

Warlord Mark or Enfeeble or Temporal Chains - choice is yours depending on your life steal from gear etc.

I usually use Warlord's and then Dual strike them down. With 8% Life Leach from support gem + warlords (not sure i need more then 8% but i use it anyway) My dual Strike does 5k dps so i take all of them down quickly and if they hit me hard (crit) then i just either use flask or do nothing as my life steal fill my bar up to full within seconds.

It might be different for later levels or maps which i havn't done but so far 1v1 is easiest for me then packs of some blue mobs that swarm me.

Yes, good job. Yes flame dogs are annoying for melee :(
but with temp chain/enfeblee you can easy outsustain them with life leech. Nice ;)

Haha no problem mate, Dual Strike is better overall, cuz it hits with your two weapons.
Heavy strike sux cuz of knockbacks and its good for 2h :p

Btw guys, i added Donation Tab, if you think i helped you or you are enjoying my whole Guide - please donate me :)
This will motivate me to continue what im doing. Will appreciate any $ :) Thanks!

yes i heard about a ranger starting area change but im not exactly sure how it will end-up.my renger build is from my main, lvl 88 on standard, so he is already geared/lvled.i hope starting area change wont mess up my build to much :( especialy with the accuracy/evasion change and mabey iron reflexe change.

Already took the 18% from oak after giving it some thought ;)

Depends on your HP ;p If you have 2k+ you benefit from warlords (although only marginally,you need 3k+ to get the full benefit in terms of hp/s) but I guess you already knew that =)


Thanks btw, it's a good passive setup this, providing a nice experience throughout the leveling process (well so far at least, almost 60 now).

Can't wait for change ^^

Didn't read all the comments so this might have been answered, but question.

Why do you take Iron Reflexes and not Unwavering Stance?

I didn't take US because i prefer more 4x %HP or other points for it.
I will take it maybe at 95lvl. Atm being stunned is fine for me, i have a lot of life, so stun does nothing to me.
Also i still can use potions when im stunned so its ok.

Hi there :) I'm currently lvl 64 with this.
I wanted to know at what lvl should i use the reduced mana nodes?
