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

If someone could like me to a build that starts the same way as this but branches more into the shadow/archer section that would be awesome im currently just trying to finish the early build part of the build and i dont want to go much further than that so if the build could branch of from wwhere i currently am that'd be awesome. Please and Thanks

Hey guys for this build, why would one use cyclone when you can get higher dps with dual strike? I really don't get it.

LifeGain on Hit with cyclone allows you to heal nearly instantly when attacking without sacrificing much DPS.

Nice guide!

Hi, curious if anyone know roughly how big of a dps increase would it be to acquire a Ming's Heart? Is it worth it?

Finally! An awesome build that I can tank with again!!! (that is until they nerf this build like they have my previous others)
.
The Cyclone is INSANE!I really don't have a dysnc problem at all...just lag with tons of spell casting monsters at once as usual.

Props OP!

Took this map on...nothing special...but killed it hard...

Hi,

I´m trying this build out, but don´t if I should start as Scion or Duelist.

If you guys should start the Scion would u then go for Melee dmg or +res ??

Q. Is there any way to maintain dual strike without mana pots? It seems to cost about 66 per 3 attacks and attack time is .13 for me so that is 200 mana per second or so. I have 3% mana leech on gear which gets me over cap but because of the leech limit I cant maintain at all (i have about 370 max mana). Has anyone found a way to do it w/o pots (or blood magic ofc)?

Q. Almost ... depending on the situation.

TL:DR; 2% Mana Leech belt/ring/ammy + low level Clarity + Mana Regen gear

I'm 77 doing Piety runs. Each "encounter" in Lunaris Temple Level 3 normally only requires ~1 mana pot (depending on crowd size, either 1/2 way through or near 3/4 end of the fight.)

What I did to take the "sting" out of mana cost was ...

1) For bosses / single-target:

For Piety you can almost sustain mana without pots. With Melee Splash (R Lev 17) I have the same mana cost as you at 66 mana doing 19K dps. Remove Melee Splash (R support) to lower the mana cost from 66 down to 41; I then replace it with a Reduced Mana (R support) (~ Level 17) to get the cost down to 30 AND dps goes back up to 21K (!) which is perfect for single-target as our efficiency = DPS/mana doubled!

2) For crowd control / normal leveling / farming trash mobs / multi-target obviously you want to use Melee Splash, but you also probably want/need mana leech and mana regen. Namely,

= Gems =
Since we have so little (or no) Int, it is possible to run an extremely low level Clarity sustained off health and use a few mana regen items to help with our mana issues:



I recommend anywhere from Level 2 to Level 5 Clarity.

= Gear =
Belt: Wurm's Molt is perfect with dual leech (2% Mana Leech)



or if I want a little more dps: Mana Regen ammy with Physical Damage


Another sweet option is Dream Fragments which has numerous bonus
- 20% Increased Max Mana
- 50% Increased Mana Regen


Boots: Goldwyrm is good for mana regen:

Obviously not the best boots but every bit of mana regen helps until I can upgrade the gloves & boots.

Having mana regen on a ring is also extremely handy:




Hopefully this will give you a few ideas. :-)

How much LIFE LEECH is required on gear for this build with BoR and NO Soul Taker?

I'm also using BoR and no ST. I've found Wurm's Molt belt to be perfect with dual leech (2% Life Leech + 2% Mana Leech) as it "kills 2 birds with 1 stone."

he had so much damage, why life gain on hit instead of life leech? difference?

i saw one of your videos, and need to know how can you spam cyclones with only like 70 mana


thank you
