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 ??

I started as a Scion and took the +18% resistance nodes and it has worked out very well. From there, I went down to the duelist's area and subsequently had a fairly easy time leveling quickly.

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?

It's like a mini hatred that is far less resisted than cold and which most importantly allows you shit on chaos mobs in high level maps. Birdman/GMP/Phys Reflect = no problem. I strongly recommend it — so long as you are res capped. I personally am getting a 6kish boost for Dual Strike and Cyclone.

I know its frowned upon... But lvl 82 w 48k cyclone and carnage heart... Specced into vaal pact... Smash face tank 76+ map Dom easily... Just don't get hung up on objects mid cyclone not payin attention or its curtains. Only 3k hp. Love this build.

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.

I have only just got a soul taker axe in the last few days and so far i have found that Cyclone does WAY more dps then duel strike. Even if the tool tip says different i presume its because i can hit multiple times per cyclone, instead of essentially one strike with duel Strike. With cyclone you can use life on hit which means you gain health insanely fast as you hit even one target around 5-10 times a second. With cyclone you can also dodge all attacks fairly easy as you are constantly moving, instead of stationary with Duel. So far cyclone beats duel strike by a long way! The only downside with cyclone are the dysnc's. It happens very often and if you don't realise it and act you die easy. Hope this helps. Get a soul taker you wont regret it! :)

hi, im following this build 100% and i am always using dual strike. When i switch to cyclone i only manage to get like 15k dps? how can this difference be so extremly huge?



Bor-->Dual Strike/Multistrike/Melee Splash/Added Fire = 36.700 dps
Bor-->Dual Strike/Multistrike/Melee Splash/LoH = 28.000 dps
Bor-->Cyclone/Weapon Elemental/LoH/Added Fire = 14.600 dps

EDIT:

I tested cyclone some more and i swapped WeD for Concentrated Effect(lvl 5) and im sitting at 20k dps now. Not sure how much this will increase if its max lvl.
I have to admit this feels alot better/safer than the duel wield.

Other question.

What kind of Cyclone dps do i have to aim for? Im talking about cyclone dps for lvl 76-78maps. Im on domination league.

So I wanted to start off as Scion. Would this be a good way of going about it?

Just wanted to say I am thoroughly enjoying this build on Nemesis and I am already level 66. I don't have great gear (no BOR and not Soul Taker) but was melting everything until Merciless Act 3, and my DPS is not even godly - about 7300 with hatred on. I was almost raped by Kole yesterday though so I definitely am in need of an upgrade as I can't take him on at present.

My gear if anyone is interested:

I started as Scion and took a similar path. The +6% to all elemental resistances nodes are optional for you since you have already taken the +18% resistance nodes at the start. I have had no problems leveling quickly and have really enjoyed the build.
