1.00 MajorGaren's Newbie friendly 1h-Shield, Lightning strike!

The "Trick/exploit" with Malachis will probably not longer work after the 0.11.4 patch.

but still a nice build.

lg

i rolled a new duelist to try this out, my 2her is getting expensive to spam regrets at to fix the build :'(
will post feedback on build once im higher lv.

oh and if anyone wants to make a bit of scratch off their leveling gear, hmu.

It will work with most of gears as long as you got decent phys weapon with decent speed. Also 5L is mandatory.

.

nice guide.

i have been playing with LS since OB and its my favo skill in the game.

i played every spec possible with LS and your setup is the best, even after the aura nerfs (you should change the aura section). Also, mellee isnt that viable in group play when you enter higher maps. playing solo isnt a problem but in group play if you are mellee you gonna have a bad time. shooting projectiles with IR does not make up for that.

personally i dont like iron reflexes any more, the projectiles arent that important for 90% of the time and the west-north side of the tree has juicy 20% life nodes, aura reduction and the 2% lifesteal which will lifesteal also elemental dmg. the projectiles deal enough dmg on there own, and goin IR is a huge point investment.

phy dmg is the way to go with LS, so i also stack phy dmg on jewelry.
lS is just broken in the way that it can scale on every offensive affix except spell dmg and cast speed.
LS + added fire gem + hatred aura is a very balanced combination of phy and ele dmg.

my lvl 81 1H striker is in default now QQ but i will continue to level him. im aiming for a soul taker so i can drop blood magic out of my 6l. when im rich ill go for koams + 6l 2hander but that will take some time :)

Would you mind posting a link to your current double strike build, or maybe give a quick rundown? Looks like max block, but I was curious on your choice of using claws, as I'd imagine you'd hit the leech cap without investing in too many leech passives and could opt for more damage. Thanks in advance.

Why are the passive skills distributed so inconsistently in your links? I don't understand how to get there give the fact there are only some points spent and noting's linked to them.

Updated tree to fit new tree!

well will this work without malachai simula trick?
what auras are you running now?
