BUILD OUT OF COMMISSION....NO LONGER VIABLE DUE TO IDIOTIC CHANGE TO IRON REFLEXES
|
Well i'm through the act 2 boss with the duelist. My first try char had 380hp... This char had 782. Without the HP I would have been dead again. As it was I again got tagged with a big hit and was down to about a tenth of health.
This is my fourth go at this boss with only one failure. The boss really is a crap shoot as he can port right on top of you and wammo your in doo doo. That and dump mobs on you as well. From what I have read throughout this forum survivability is number one when it comes to HC. I feel pretty good about where i'm at now... I'm still going to follow your guide... I'm just a bit fatter and healthier. :) Thanks for taking the time to post it. Nightstone |

Love the guide, going to do a build following it now actually.
Just one question, why not get unwavering stance? Seems strange when you already have iron reflexes. |

Frenzy, Added Lightning (or any of the other elements) Faster Attacks, Weapon Elemental damage and culling strike or maybe something else ? please help in the selection ING: FrostyBijacz Last edited by buszek12#3104 on Apr 3, 2013, 6:58:23 AM

" Anything that adds damage is ok :) if you can't 1-2 shots packs with LA i would go with faster attacks, if you can I'd put some sort of element damage gem like added cold, fire or chaos depending on socket color. With frenzy I'm not sure if culling strike works with it but if it does sounds like a good choice, I don't have 6 links and don't think I ever will, so I haven't thought that far ahead. I am rather broke from rolling maps. |

Wouldn't this be a better path, based off your Final Build but rerouting?

It removes the 2*12% life nodes below lava lash but adds an 8+8+12% near Iron Grip for a net gain of 4%. It removes the 2*15% Fire Resist nodes due to rerouting, but I presume they are used just to join and are covered by gear (if not, they are still accessible with the extra points). It adds Unwavering Stance, which is a nice defensive skill if you do happen to get hit. Almost everything else is the same except the "connect the dots". If you don't need the resists or Savant, many options are available for the other 2 skill points, with obvious candidates including other 8% life nodes, 8% chaos resist nodes or 6% res all nodes. Butz. :) Edit: Forgot to say: Really like the build and guide, very nice...just had to see if I wanted to tinker around the edges! :) Last edited by Butzull#6442 on Apr 3, 2013, 7:46:20 AM

Now going with, 4 sockets. Thinking about this, is chain-LMP best combo? I mean, now I really like Pierce. LA with Pierce kinda makes amazing results on packs. Do you have an advices on LMP-Chain-Pierce-LA combinations.

Hi :)
I've tried playing the Ranger with LA, but didn't cut it. Died at 45 (sent to SC) Died at 61 (sent to SC) Then I saw this nice little thing. And so far my Duelist is level 77 and going strong. High level maps are however abit tough without a group. Don't know if that's he general rule, never been this far. I'm following the build pretty close, some minor tweeks to get more armour/evasion due to my low rate atm. And the Fire Res until I get some decent gear. Build (25 points missing):

- Bow: Bought it as a 5L, used 1 Alch and got that. Was pretty amazed. Ain't changing before I can get my hands on a Lionseye - Quiver: I want to find a Quiver with +IAS +WED +Accu and Res. - Chest: Want to 5L or 6L if extremely lucky so that I can add Life Leech and LightDmg - Helmet: Only just got it, used a regal since it had the +Accu and +HP, maybe use an exalted or two to get %Eva if lucky. - Gloves: It's only the +HP and %IAS that makes me keep them atm. Haven't found any better so far. - Boots: Same deal, 4L, HP, MS makes me keep them. Need to find a better pair. - Belt: The implicit of it blows compared to a leather belt where I could get 35+HP - Rings: Pretty happy with them. Haven't been able to find any that came close to replacing them - Ammy: HP, %Eva makes me keep it. Haven't found the ammy that could replace it yet. - Gems: Haven't played much before this Duelist. And he is my first end game character. Therfore the Q-Gems will have to wait for now. So with all this info I've just given you, what would you prioritize as #1, #2, #3 choice to replace? My own upgrade list: #1: Boots #2: Gloves #3: Ammy #4: Belt #5: Quiver Any remarks, ideas, questions? Best Reards /Whiteberg IGN: NutCracked

" I'm at work ATM so don't have time to check everything but I just wanted to quickly pop in and say don't be afraid to pick up leather and steel and the 2 evasion nodes next to it. I had them until I got enough evasion on gear. That should be sufficient in maps. Just watch out for kraytin boss in maps and the flicker spider bosses. Don't even try to tank them lol |

" Thats not smart at all, one more point for 4% HP only. You really think thats worthy? About Unwavering Stance, you dont need it with 5k+ HP, even less playing a ranged class. The only thing you need is to learn how to kite and use traps wisely :) |
