Thanks for the swift reply, I'll try dropping the Forceful Scewering node. My only concern is the Chance to impale now being around 57%.

The nodes i dropped for Deep cuts were nodes you aren't currently using, so I will also go for Deep Cuts at the loss of the 7k tooltip dps.

The jewel cluster near Point blank sounds good to get tbh, even that +10 dexterity helps a ton when crafting items (so far done 1 sirus deathless with only self crafted items other than amulet, sadly no Saviour)

Hah! it is because I didn't take in to account the Impale Support gem i think, very amateur mistake.
For some reason I can't get PoB to do what I want today (gin last night is to blame here).

I also noticed you mentioned that Critical Strike Multiplier isn't needed so much due to being Duelist. Is this to say dropping 'Heartseeker' and attached nodes won't affect boss dps much?

Yesterday I crafted 6 level 12 Assassins mark rings, not a single had dex or int. The struggle is real but I'm loving this crafting business

Can anyone explain to me why we go slayer and not champion ? Every chat i see says slayer got gutted and im trying to decide if i want to stick with this build or not .

I want something that clears t16 maps and does A8 content . I already have a char that is clearing t14 maps but it rips occasionally on bosses and I want to make something that better does end game bosses .

Im about to the point of doing the first lab and im trying to figure out why people say champion is better than slayer before i go the rest of the way on this build as i dont want to roll another one this league .

Also is 20 EX enough to do end game or do i need to map more ?

I'm going to be 100% transparent with you here and say that unless you are experienced with melee builds in general, just go Champion. It's a lot easier to play and has more damage potential in the 100+ exalt late game.

Slayer got nerfed a little bit wich was justified because we were simply broken in Legion. The main reason this guide is exclusively Slayer is because I very much value the AoE we get in addition to some QoL stuff like reflect immunity and more movement speed.

The other reason is that there are a lot of succesful Champion guides out there atm so I dont have a reason to include that option in my guide. Should you want to play it however then the gear/skill tree is more or less 1:1
