Never mind - the passive skill tree isn't working on any link right now. It's GGG's skill tree that isn't working.

it is working. Try refresh with f5

Hey man. Made a build based off yours and I love it. 2.2k dps cleave at 45 with a 4L with cleave/WED/mana leech/life leech is nuts. One question, why don't you pick up leather and steel? 24% arm/ev plus the 8%(?) MS bonus for just 2 points seems way too good to pass up.

I picked it now
it's definitely worth it :)

glorious plate has no ms penalty no need leather and steel if u have that chest







I have almost decided my build will be around these 2 rings & bringer of rain & new axe can’t afford a YOLO chest at this point

I will be going purity this time but I will still probl have res issues at one point but ill work around them and max them no matter what, well new axe does give some cold res and maybe I can find another axe with some res on it

6% leech with rings and I will be at 8% chaos res with 1 passive point and will get around 30% chaos res on 1 armor so I will be at 38%+pot 35%=73% chaos resist when I pot I think that’s fair.

I wish I could go no RT with the accuracy I have on rings but I doubt that will be an option we can’t afford to miss as melee and can’t afford accuracy points in tree so many points wasted when 1 point does the job.

I may have to drop the death rush ring at one point as per no hp, no res useless accuracy, low armor and uselss 1vs1 (not all bosses are alone) but then I lose much chaos res ,dat onslaught effect and 4% leech.

I have a good feeling it can work but still thinking about all this

forgot to add block chance and blind in the build which is a + as well

I started this build last night, I love mele but its an uphill fight as Im starting with 0 in Onslaught... still seems like lots of fun.

you can't win, first char on onslaught with no stashed gear even with decent luck while leveling you will HAVE HUGE problems, yes you can spend your currency for that resist life gear but when you reach that 70 you will have 0 for end game gear (as melee on maps without max resists high life... RIP )

make something like summon witch or some range build, farm docks or lunaris 3 until you die from pure boredom, stash gear for this build... PROFIT

IMHO that is the best way, onslaught is no joke and without great survability (good build like this one for melee is not enough, you just need the gear) you will die

I like your advice mostly because I was already doing it :) I am only 25-ish and am co leveling a dual totem sparker (PankO's build) for my farming. I need the mele as thats my preferred combat method and the idea of totems and not being able to do damage is like watching paint dry to me.

Any update after the latest patch? I'm leveling this build and was thinking of going into the ranger tree for life/evasion nodes and dw block chance. Instead of armour and hp, doing a hybrid defense of armour and evasaion with block. Less travel nodes should allow more spec into dw damage nodes. Maybe something like this?



Advantages: With a decent evade (say 60%?) and the 43% block you'd only take damage on 1/4 of all attacks. This could be improved with any uniques that grant additional block chance (new ring!). Evasion has a separate roll for crits so of the one in four hits, I'll have a 60% chance to take normal damage if it's a crit. Should be extremely reduced crit damage. More points spent on offense.

Disadvantages: Life isn't nearly as high as going marauder/templar. No Elemental Adaptation. No reduced damage from crits nodes. Less elemental resists from passive tree.

Any comments?

@Ecthelion_OfThe_Fountain
I don't like that build that much, too much wasted points for not that much.

About arm nerf, lost only 1500 armour. Not that bad deal.
And not need a lot of extra nodes like with eva/block build. But will think about something similar to this.

`Currently using vaal pact and it works amazing with my high armour + 20/20 life leech + 6% phys leech. I leech like 1k hp per sec. I can solo almost all bosses, i couldnt do that before vaal pact. So i like it!

Holy shit I just orb chanced a siege axe and got a soul taker, ha ha. So awesome.
