Official Blender Post! Lets theory craft for 1.2! 123k Cleave DPS!

Can i use a slow 1 Hand mace with 300 DPS along with a fast 1 hand sword 230 DPS ? Or do i need another sword or axe instead of a mace ?

Been playing around w/ some of my gear, made the switch from my 6L chest/helm to BOR, and actually bought a 2nd BOR (RRRG) so I could swap it out for Dual Strike for bosses, etc. Below is a screenshot of both my buffed Dual Strike as well as my buffed Cleave. I'm running 5 auras (4 on mana, 1 on health) with Blood Rage. The one thing I haven't done yet which I will do with my next couple skill points is pick up the extra endurance / frenzy charges which when buffed will give me more offensive/defensive capabilities. Thanks again for the great build... its brought me a lot of enjoyment!
I have some room for upgrades still, but i'm pretty happy where i'm at right now. Cleave - 50.2k DPS  Dual Strike - 71.3k DPS  Last edited by Erelus#0148 on Aug 17, 2013, 4:46:10 PM

How much would a 300 dps axe cost in default?

Really fun build so far... A nice change from my prior ranged characters. Thanks.

So I see most are going to BoR instead of a nice 6L. Not sure why, I enjoy having overcapped resists and being able to go for chaos resist as well assisting my bloodrage. Also having all 20% quality gems gives extra DPS towards the 6L's favor.
What is considered "optimum" as far as DPS, and survivability. Is 6L/Helm combo more survivability/less DPS? And then BoR more DPS/less resists? Please explain.

Effect to Weapon Ele DMG because I feel since most of my DPS is physical, that will provide the most bonus) Input much appreciated!

" BoR is mostly just cheaper. Compare the price of a 4l BoR to your 6l chest and the chromes to get those colors. With great gear i would still go with a BoR though, the block chance, added physical and 10% endurance charge on block are all pretty good in my book. Blind is pretty op with ir also, 75% miss chance. Last edited by lild0nutboy#6220 on Aug 19, 2013, 6:30:46 AM

" Really I think the 6L carcass would be the ultimate. It also opens up possibilities for other melee attacks that do really well with the extra aoe, and you can change out concentrated for increased aoe. If I had the money that would be the route I would go. |

" You get a 7 link item, and blind is important for survivability (see video, he dodges/blocks 5 blows that would kill most mid life builds) Resists are made up elsewhere... if you can afford a good 6 link chest you can get rid of that and get the same resists + more damage and more life. The only thing you lose out on in armor slightly but you gain 15% block. Carcass jack is a nice item, but if you are using that you don't gain any real res from it in comparison to a chest like this The 12% damage is nice and the radius is nice but you actually get less survivability. If you can get an amazing carcass jack then maybe if you get 2 green 4 red and not use the concentrated effect gem you can get the same survivability and almost the same damage. But why spend that much extra for almost no real net gain? You'd need a 90+ life, 800+ armor tri res helm to make it really worth while to do that. And even then it is only making it slightly easier to gear other pieces. No matter what IMO BoR is your best bet, because conc effect is useless without carcass IMO. IGN: Srslyagain
PM me bins on items I bid on if you have one. |

" even this combo isn't better than BoR? in a truly min-max'd world what is the BEST DPS? IGN: ReflectDeezNutz

Hello blenders,
I have an lvl 77 Blender-Marauder with dual axe damage – life mix build. I have some doubts about his optimization. The point is that there have some physical damage keys and I need know what are the most optimal. The keys which I took a look are: a. Timberwolf 62% pd. (5 points spent) b. Splitting Strikes 72% pd. 2% as. (5+1 points spent) c. Duality 24% pd. 6% as. (3 points spent) d. Bravado 24% pd. 4% blck. (3+1 points spent) e. Cleaving (1) 54% pd. 2% as. (4+1 points spent) f. Cleaving (2) 72% pd. 4% as. (6+1 points spent) g. Gallantry 34% pd. 4% as. (3 points spent) h. Duelist tree 24% pd. 6% as. (3 points spent) The “+1” means that I need to use an extra skill point to reach the key tree. Can anyone sort them from best to worst? I have no skill points for all and I need to choose the better option. If you need more information (my actual build, gear, etc) just tell me. Greetings and sorry for my english.
