I see you use Vaal Cyclone...what do you think about it, is it useful ? I did not have the time to test it so far, I'm busy leveling characters in Ambush ^^

Why no wrecking ball?

i love it. i can pull pretty much any group of monsters with it without any problems. it's also super nice with some bosses who are surrounded by a lot of mobs. vaal cyclone was one of the reasons i wanted to try to out this build.

Also, on the Axe dude the life seems a bit low for a 2H build, are you sure it will be fine in maps?

It is at 240% increased life, so yes maybe a little short for hardcore leagues especially Invasion. But you can of course adapt the tree depending on your needs, since more life nodes are not far, but you will lose some damage...

Heh, I only play Softcore leagues, so I won't need to worry about that.

In any case, I'm running the build now as a first Ambush character (I plan to trade, though), and I'm probably going to do Swords. I'll update this thread if I sucessfully make it to maps.

I hope I do. It will be only the second character I've had that makes it to maps (first was a BoR/Block Duelist, and he took advantage of the money I made when my GS Mara found a Legacy Maligaro and sold it to fund his gear).



EDIT: Oh, and why does the Sword build support Kraityn in Cruel, but the Axe build supports Oak?

can you make skill's tree for Ambush league?
