New Video: Dyadus Detonate Dead [The Dyadus Thread]

I was thinking of going a EE Cyclone with a three dragons. Anyone tried this? In theory it should permashock things, right?

Something like this

3 Dragons EE Cyclone sounds super interesting! Tonnes of shock and burn! While it would negate the chill bonus since you can't chill with that helm, but the shock could more than make up for it :)

Fyi all, I've just updated the OP for another Dyadus video based on a build I found on the forums - Dyadus Detonate Dead

Enjoy!

If I took Resolute Technique, I would lose the ability to ignite and chill, right? i.e. a critical strike only triggers ignite/chill?

Keep in mind you can use a level 1 arctic armor with cyclone, only needs a bit of mana regen and you chill everything you attack, so adding a AA would benefit from the chill bonus as well :D

If you have items/gems/passives with Chance To Ignite, you can ignite without crits. Chill has nothing to do with crits at all, only cold damage.

Yeah, I got that part with cold damage from the wiki. Thanks for the ignite answer, though!

I'm personally crossing my fingers that Dyadus goes Legacy in 1.2, the same way that Pillar, Ungil's, and Kaom's Primacy did, ie. buffed.

Dyadus got hurt really badly with the DoT rework, as it was balance-tested prior to it. So I'm hoping that GGG will make another pass at it, and balance it accordingly..

Because as it stands, as sad as it may be, this gem of a Unique is completely obsolete in every way possible; mostly due to Doryani's Catalyst being better than it for nearly everything you could consider using Dyadus for... :'(

I've been trying to make a viable build with dual wield melee dyadus, using dual strike. If I use increased burning damage, will that increase the burn damage caused by my dual strike?

Hi Forums,

I recently found one Dyadus and directly bought one cheap to try dual wield builds with this unique.

No matter how much I think about it, I cant seem to reach accepable damage numbers.
If I go for ST with EE or DS Burn, the output allways seems subpar.

I wanted to use somethiing like this:


Dont mind the Gems, the actual Setup should be: Dual Strike, WED, Inc Burn, Ele Prolif, LL, Chance to Ignite.

Together with this Tree:

It has Avatar of Fire. I totally lose out on the chill part of the unique but I would lose neraly 50% total burning damage otherwise.
Even though the Tree and my gear would make up for about 276% inc. Ele damage, 56% more ele damage and a combined burn, dot and fire damage of 268% the total burn damage only calculates to about 2400 per sec. That is not taking into account monster resistances...

How do i get some damage out if this Item? Using infernal Mantle? But I would need at least a five linked one.
Going Crit with the meager 5% base Crit chance?
With this shadow tree:
I would get at least 26% crit chance, maybe with a quality DS and sone nice gear one could make it work. Maybe integrate: .
I dont know how to cope with the damage then but hey, its standart! ^^
At least I could drop the Chance to ignite Gem then and use inc Crits, Crit multi or ML. Maybe this is the way to go. Also "Hit-and-Run" tactics. otherwise you totally rip^^

From a Marauder point of view, with this Tree:
I would get (with 20% quality DS) 400% increased critical strike chance.
Together with these items:

And really good resistance jewelery one might be able to hit for burns that deal about 8k damage per sec.
Survivabily would be crappy but I think Ill try it nevertheless^^

I honestly dont know how to make it work propperly.

Hey there,

I just started a new character in Rampage league and tried to build on Dyadus.

This is what I came up with. So far, it's working great and I have very much fun playing!

Hope somebody sees this (especially dlrr) and finds it interesting. :-)
