Hey there Vin. I've noticed you've updated your current gears. How's the testing with the new update on Multistrike? Is it a really big dent in DPS? I would still think there will be an increase in DPS no matter what because of the increased attack speed that Multistrike provides.

Also, on another note. I'm currently level 41 with 4L (LS + Blood Magic + Faster Attacks + Melee Physical Damage). Sometimes I worry that I might die because of the Blood Magic gem linked to LS. I am using 4 HP Pots and 1 Mana Pot. I was wondering how you gain life leech in this build with BM gem? Is it from your Carnage Heart? If that's the case, would that make Carnage Heart a requirement for this build?


Below is my current gear if you need a gauge:

Even if that's the case wouldn't it still be hard to have life leech with Carnage Heart? Since life leech only applies to physical damage through passives and equipments, and LS converts physical damage to lightning damage how will that work?

This has always been a question that has been on my mind since trying your build. Just need some clarification. :)

P.S. Be kind with the responses. I have been playing PoE for only a month now and have a lot to learn. Thanks!

Hi Yuufe, I will need more testing on Multistrike before deciding which Gem to use (especially before I up them to 20%). I will update my findings later tonight on support gems.

A flask combination of 4 hp 1 granite will help in the leveling phase. Try to roll 1 sapping and 2 seething/bubbling hp flask (20% flask is a bonus). And don't forget, always use the best Flask. As for gears, I would suggest you to grab more health while maintaining high resistance. Life leech is not important for lower levels, you will rely on flask & high hp pool during the leveling phase.

As for Carnage Heart life leech, each projectiles will leech some amount of health. Once your health pool reach a certain amount, carnage heart is very hard to be replaced (it saves u a gem socket, provide you enough stats, and a nice resistance). Carnage Heart is not a "Must" for low level, and good to have at high level before you start Maps.

I was wondering, if I don't care too much about percent auras like haste or determination and am going your build except with point blank and iron reflexes, can I take the blood magic keystone? I feel like the 200% multiplier of BM at rank 18 is... well i just dont like blood magic support gem. One more question, as i'm not taking the blood magic support gem, do you think the investment is worth getting added lightning or lightning penetration (So RRRBBG)? I really like the quality bonus on added lightning damage.


Edit: I do not have or ever feel like i will have a kaom's heart (I'm as poor as a hobo)
And I have a
, do I need any more Life leech? I still feel like I'm getting destroyed by monsters in Merci Act 2:(

Although I'm still working on this build (Currently, level 52), I think not having Iron Reflexes might be why you're having problems with Merc Act 2. Even if you don't have any ER armor, every dexterity node adds 2% evasion, which will add up to your armour.

How's your hp and resists? Keeping them up is the key to leveling and sub like 2.5k health leech is so underwhelming

I also talented those two endurance nodes near duelist start for more duration/more endur allows 4 12sec endurance charges prior to merc

Also the two big % auras are purity and hatred man and those are a must blood magic keystone just doesn't work and trust us endgame the 5 bloodmagic support is nominal. Not to mention shock stacking with faster attacks and multi was never an issue using a 1.5 sword and 7ias coming from gear I had near on 7aps 60% pierce from light and sing conductivity and Passives u honestly don't need more shock chance IMO.

You should have around 4.5k hp without kaoms and Carnage Heart leech is more than enough. Blood Magic key stone will cost 2-3 more skill points and couldnt run 4 %-auras is a huge lost. Hatred and Haste give around 4.5k dps for my gears, Purity helps on ele reflect / lightning thorn (+cap resist in Elemental Weakness map), Determination gives 4.5k armor. The only gem you need for shock stack will be Elemental Proliferation (quality gives 15% shock dura as well).

The hp cost will not be an issue once you have about 3k+ health. As for leveling, keep updating your flask (20% is always a bonus for BM char), use a combination of Sapping + Seething hp potions, and a granite flask for hard hitting mobs. You may want to grab IR at earlier levels if most of your gears have evasion.

7 Aura Shocker LS Build: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/310351 (outdated)
I just looked through the forum, and funny this is almost the same build im running on my duelist, if u have the right gear, this build is so much fun to play. I've tried carnage heart, didnt like it so much compared to the life leech gem, even though I had 12% physical leech. Currently sitting at 19k tooltip lightning strike, and 27.8k without life leech gem.

If ppl can aquire very good gear, then this build is for those that like to play melee.

2H Lightning Striker, lvl 94 HC Duelist - ign Draizor
how much dps should i have when i reach merciless? i only have 1.2k dps tooltip :/
Just wanted to ask you if you could make a video showing how to use all 7 auras, I dont really get it by reading it! :)

It's very simple:

1. Equip Malachai's Simula / The Covenant
2. Cast Grace / Anger / Wrath with Reduced Mana
3. Un-equip Malachai's Simula / The Covenant
4. Cast Determination / Purity / Hatred / Haste

In order to achieve 7 auras, you must have at least level 19 Reduced Mana Gem, and 2 "Reduced Mana Reservation" Node from the skill tree.

Very nice guide.
I am loving it, currently i have level 40 and can only run 3 aura (Haterd, Anger, Purity). Fourth aura (Haste) seems impossible, how you manage to run 4 aura @ till level?
Any advice if i can run 4th Aura yet?

BTW here is my gear
Spoiler




I just changed a few gems and my survivability is very high now.
doing around 1k damage and life is 1410.

UPDATES
=======
I hit level 47, life is 1.8k and damage 2k.
I changed my weapon to this one
