Very, very happy with the outcome so far. Fantastic fun! I am lvl 38, already using CI in Crule, 1200 ES. Not having problems at all.

Main is a duelist, this kicks the shit outta him lol. I can't wait for the next couple days when I hit 60+.

+1 to you sir.

He is using Chaos Inoculation and so by using a shield it gives him a vast amount of energy shield and block chance, which both will give a nice amount of extra survivability, and because he has plenty of dagger passives and the use high level/quality skill gems which he can also 5L or 6L, his damage barely takes a hit, he can use a shield and still do insane damage.

Yup! What Desbris said. :)

Also, it is insanely difficult to craft two extremely powerful daggers to make dual-wielding worth it. Not to say you shouldn't dual wield daggers! You can if you like dual-wielding and the fast attack speed that comes along with it, but for it to be truly efficient in terms of damage output you will need 2 very good daggers of similar DPS to make it a worthy upgrade over a 1h dagger build, especially when considering that the skills this build uses are Lightning Strike and Flicker Strike, both of which only deal single-hand weapon damage per attack, hence if you dual wield, you will effectively be alternating weapons per attack which can end up bringing your DPS down if your off-hand dagger isn't up to scratch.

why all the fire resistance? I thought no one fought vaal in HC turbo?


also @melee bosses, uh yeah I used like 3portal scrolls on brutus and 3 on merveil as a melee, and all the orange named enemies on the maps besides those two? I just ran past them, I tried to kill one or two, but nearly died before doing any damage to them so I just skipped all the non-required bosses in the game, although preparing for brutus/merveil definitely slowed my run down, and was also still a near death both times.



the question I have though is what good is a ranged attack anyways? when the enemies are so fast you can't escape from them anyways? or with movement speed boots and movement speed passive(s) is it possible to kite some of the enemies you might think were unkitable?
