Thanks for the reply vin,

How much does a 400+ DPS 2h sword usually cost? Someone's selling one to me for 8 ex.. is that to high ? Nonlinked btw

400 DPS 8 ex sounds fairly overpriced to me :) I got mine for 5ex and its about 440 dps.

Do you not use life leech gem?

Edit: I realize you use Carnage Heart for life steal. But what about in Anarchy league. Which gem would you replace in 4l/5l for life leech?

Starts Anarchy with life leech gem, and slowly gear yourself towards leeching gears. You can get life leech from Rings (2%), Amulet (6%), Glove (2%), Weapon (6%). With a decent 2H weapon 350+ DPS, i would suggest to have at least 4-6% leech.

Alright thanks. Currently level 34 with this build. Using Geoffri's and my dps is at 1025 or so with hatred/anger. Really enjoying it so far :D

Agree with above. Build is beastmode and i'm only running 2 auras atm. Can i use Kaom's Primacy axe up into maps ? Can't find a decent 2hander sword yet. Also, do you include the Elemental damage ( Fire or ice ) into the total DPS ?

Thanks, vin_chow.

I'm having so much fun with this build, i had some items in my stash so i could gear myself properly.

Right now, lvl 39 / 1150 HP / 1490 DPS.

I have a question

When you take a big hit and you lose like 1.5k~2k HP, do you use any flask or you just keep using LS?

sorry for my terrible english.

Koam's Primacy is fine for low level map. Voidhome is even better but not the best for EXP. Try to save your currency and grab a good one, then u can have a 5-6L :) Total DPS includes everything from your auras and gears, which is the Physical + Elemental Portion. What isn't shown on the tooltip is Iron Grip + Point Blank damage.

Don't forget that if you feel unsafe going melee, you can always play as a semi range character. Once again, Seething/Bubbling Flask and Granite are the best option to increase your survivability during leveling phase.

After Starting onslaught i wanted to look for a build that can benefit from 7 auras,playing pretty tanky, so i chose to play lighning strike over infernal blow for the chance in hardly situations to ranged attack

thats the build im running

http://tinyurl.com/juchibuild

I'm near lv 80, i got already a 6L using Ls,weap ele dmg,bloodmagic,faster attacks,multi strike, lifeleech.
I'm playing with a 1h mace of 310dps and shield, got about 5k life, 13k armor, and im @ 6,5k dps from tooltip.
I rly like lifeleech even with 5% regen i feel the need to use it for gain rly insane survability.

The main doubt i have is about innerforce, i dont know if its worth drop 5 point from life for get it.I'm rly tempted since i play with 7 auras... atm i have not reduce mana lvl 19 so im using 6 auras, leaving haste, and tempest shield(37% block with lioneyes remorse) on the last free mana i have.
Another lil doubt i had was about point blank, but due to my playstyle i prefer play without it.
I also decide to pick acceleration vs berserking for the 20 dex that ll help for grace and haste req, i didn't get unwavering stance due to the high life pool +tank playstyle.

Currently lvl 48 [act 3 cruel] feel like hard to proceed


lol btw the amulet i borrow from a friend XD cos cant get any nice amuletsss

You lack health on a lot of items. When going through cruel/merci just stack HP and specific resis. AKA a1 is cruel, a2 is lightning, a3 is lightning and fire.

Edit: Also, you're using blood magic but no life leech gem. You really need the life leech gem over the faster attacks, and wep ele dmg adds a lot more damage than added fire when using lightning strike.

this build can made by a first char or there is no way?

and there is any way to build it with out Carnage Heart
Onyx Amulet?

Hey Vinz.

As you may or may not know, I have a LS build in the marauder section and after theorycrafting and playing LS for more than 3 months now, as both marauder and duelist (currently 89 marauder in HC - had 2 duelists that now rest in default at level 78 and 82) I have a few questions and comments about your fine build :)

First off:

Any advantages starting Duelist over Marauder?

Armor, Attack Speed, Projectile Damage nodes. Basically a more offensive start compare to Marauder. I picked Duelist because there isn't any wasted skill points, Marauder start will have to spend 2 point on +10 strength node to Elemental Adaptation (two 10 str nodes on top of Diamond Skin). Everything from Marauder are attainable on duelist starting area, but if you %life and a more defensive build, Marauder is not a bad choice.

I agree with you on the more defensive/offensive part. However not on the wasted stat part. Armour is pretty much the same and projectile damage? That's in fact the opposite, since duelist is melee phys damage start.

In my opinion "increased melee physical damage" nodes are wasted passives. Maybe not wasted, but a stat to avoid if possible, since you can get better physical nodes that compliments both the melee and projectile attacks. The 8% mana node is a wasted stat though. Both starts have "wasted stats".

The point in going marauder is that you can skip the start of duelist tree completely (you still have the option to go there of course, just as duelist can go marauder).

Considering how many points you need to get duelist nodes, I feel you can get way better results going around it.

A small stat comparison between the builds, both at level 85:


Your duelist build (skipping marauder start)

182% increased maximum Life
2.5% of Life Regenerated per Second
52% increased Armour
+12% to all Elemental Resistances
40% increased Elemental Damage with Weapons
59% increased Physical Damage with Two Handed Melee Weapons
96% increased Physical Damage with Swords
20% increased Attack Speed with Swords
27% increased Attack Speed
12% increased Attack Speed with Two Handed Melee Weapons
35% increased Melee Physical Damage
+64.4% increased Melee Physical Damage

My marauder build (skipping duelist start)


250% increased maximum Life
4% of Life Regenerated per Second
71% increased Armour
+32% to all Elemental Resistances
40% increased Elemental Damage with Weapons
18% increased Physical Damage with Two Handed Melee Weapons
84% increased Physical Damage with Swords
20% increased Attack Speed with Swords
15% increased Attack Speed
+68% increased Melee Physical Damage

Round-up

Your build have:

-68% life (-93% if you count carnage)
-1,5% life regen
-19% armour
-20% all res
+18% increased Physical Damage with Two Handed Melee Weapons
+12% increased Physical Damage with Swords
+24% increased Attack Speed
+31,4% inreased melee physical damage

It's pretty clear that your build is the more offensive and perhaps standard oriented version of the two.

But as you probably also have experienced, is that if you start to go above 20k dps, reflect becomes very dangerous. I'm at 19,5k dps right now with life leech gem and I'm trying NOT to go up any further.

If you don't have a kaoms like you do, then having even close to 20k dps with 157% life will certainly kill you on reflect or even in more difficult maps. I have about 500 less life than you (5,5k) without kaom's. That's pretty huge.

Another thing is the melee physical damage gem you use. This one puzzled me. Knowing that you are aware of the fact in only affects your melee strike, I'm wondering why you are still using it. I honestly believe you can get WAY better results from using multistrike or go life leech and drop your carnage for a better amulet. Or even added fire would be a more efficient choice. With your attack speed, multistrike is insane though.

Just a few observations and comments, hope that's okay :)

/8k


edit: It does look like you use multistrike in your graveyard video, if that's your latest one? Maybe the gem section is just outdated a bit?
