[1.2.0] Dual Claws Are Cool

Abyssus, evasion build, Daresso's Defiance. IIRC that's the one with the endurance charge on kill, lose charges on hit. Perma IC with it.

Updated for 1.1.0. The major change is I'm now strongly recommending not going VP.

Run this similar build on SC, I would not recommend on HC or Invasion.

The biggest reason for this is while the leech will keep you a live. The moment you stop leeching, desync, you can die more easily than other builds in my personal opinion. I wish I could run this in Invasion, this build is by far the most fun out of all the builds I have tried.

can u post ur dps, deff screen shoot?

Cannot agree more. It really lacks survivability at the moment when you stop leeching, but if you're playing softcore and wanna have tons of fun - I strongly recommend using this build with your own modifications on your personal needs (since the build is really flexible in terms of changing passives of original build).
I should reach map stage today (lv60 after couple days of playing), should be a lot of fun pulling whole map at once and nuke it in seconds :D 7.9aps so far, no quality gems, everything is dieing in eyeblink. Tho I am running whole merciless a3 with 0 or negative resists, low armor, eva, es and pretty much 2k life, screw it, YOLO.

Kudos to OP, DUAL CLAWS ARE COOL.

Started this build and am at level 43, liking it so far, working on getting a bloodseeker when the time comes, question i have is about APS, for dual strike, do you need to have similar speed claws or does it take the average speed?

also looking for a single attack, to kill bosses and such, when I don't want to use melee spash..... for the time being i just swap out melee splash with added fire damage.

What quality gems are a must or what order should i work on getting them?

Dual strike averages the speed. Everything else alternates weapons and in that case you can think of it using "weapon attack time" which is 1/aps, each attack takes that amount of time.

Normally I just use the same attack against bosses, even with the splash linked. Doesn't hurt my dps enough to matter, plus it's in Rain and any alternative single target would be 4L at most.

I would say if you're doing dual splash you should get quality melee splash as highest priority. After that is mostly personal preference. Basically anything that increases your aoe is good, so for cyclone you'd get Q20 cyclone first, etc.

Hey, could you post how much DPS you have with Cyclone and preferably with Dual Strike too?

On the weekend, yeah? I don't get to play on weekdays.

23k ST, 22k AoE.
Personally, I am using Dual Strike + Melee Phys dmg + Multistrike + Faster Attacks for ST
and same link with additional Melee Splash for AoE, dps differs by only a tiny 1k.
Take note, that I am using Abyssus, not Bringer of Rain atm, but as soon as I can afford to buy one, I will just start using Purity again.

I think you should just grab any claw that has 1.5 or higher AttSpeed. Speed ftw :D
