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

Hi im level 69 currently and have no problems with dps but kinda with survivability...
Have 18kDPS(Hatred+DS)and only 2,2k Life...



Anyone knows what to improve first? I am really poor because this is my "main" and really have no Idea what to do...

THanks for your help :)

Hi,

I really like this build!

But i´m not rich and need to get some better gear I think.

Any suggestions?

My gear right now:


Got 2473 HP and deals 2918dmg with my dual strike :-/

@Runninglags dude look at your weapons :D Thats why u deal only 3k

I'm confused. If you refuse leveling Cast when Damage Taken, then you will only be allowed to support skills up to level 31. This makes those skills much worse. How can this be better than having a higher level gem?

Also I notice you no longer use Dual Strike in your equipment. Does this mean you use Cyclone on bosses? Wouldn't Dual Strike have higher single target DPS? And before you switched from Dual Strike to Cyclone, would you swap out the Melee Splash gem for another with higher damage?

Also your entire build revolves around Bringer of Rain. Do you have a modified poor man's build for someone new to this game? This guide is great for an end game goal, but it's not very newbie accessible. Is there a better guide I should be reading?

Worse but CWDT has much lower cast threshold, so it will be cast more often.

Cyclone DPS is misleading. It actually does more damage than it suggests.

You can use any gear but BOR makes it so much better. For its price, it does a lot more than many other gears.

Your armour is absolute garbage. You can replace it with something so much better very easily with a few chaos.

You also need +life gear. 2200 is low for a level 69 melee.

If you still have problem surviving, you may want to consider replacing Absyssus with something else. That helm really makes it hard to survive.

Okay, I got lucky yesterday and found some cool stuff and bought some...



Now I do have a little bit less DPS, but at least 2,7k Life and pretty much maxed Elemental Resistances.

One question i still got tho, should i spend 10-20 CHaos to get a 5L Chest? Or should i Farm 9000milion Hours to get Bringer of the Rain?

reaver or dual strike for leveling?

I am using this build for a while now, i am level 84 without BOR or Soul Taker i can say i am doing ok but still have problems with some lv 71-72 map bosses (like Piety from Temple map or that boss with laser beam from Torture Chambers map)
Didnt do maps higher than 72 atm , i feel like i need to change something and i dont know from where start (or i know , prolly need to change 1 or both of my weapons with higher dps ones)

My current gear :



Atm I have ~4.1k HP , 77+ all resistances , -34 chaos resistance , ~11k DPS with Dual Strike + Hatred and ~8k DPS with Cyclone + Hatred and around 8.3k armour with Grace up

I am mainly running 2 auras at same time (Hatred + Grace) , having about 70 Mana remained after reservation for those 2 auras - using BM with switching between Cyclone or Dual Strike i cant say i have problems with mana

Anyone can have a look at this gear/stats and can help me with some advices in what i need to change to improve my dmg and survability in 71+ modded maps ?

And one more important question i dont know the answer to :

I have 9% of life leech from the off-hand weapon (Bloodseeker) - on the weapon(claw) it says these 9% applies instantly. Does that means that when i use Cyclone for example (i have it in my chest linked in 5L with BM and 3 other support gems) this 9% LL from claw work in the same way like using a LGoH gem linked with Cyclone for example or it is calculated in other way - like life leech/second ?

At 8k DPS with Cyclone (11 k with Dual Strike) and 4.1 k HP is 9% LL from weapon overkill or i can increase % of LL with bonuses from other pieces keeping in mind my DPS and Life ?

I know my gear sucks bigtime but i am poor , this is my first char i got so high in level(84) , all the gear i have i self found it during play and cant afford atm to buy a 6L chest or a BoR , prolly only important thing i can try to buy atm is a better DPS main-hand (sword or axe) , what DPS should be enough to feel a decent improvment in gameplay ?

Thank you in advance for your opinions and advices , i really like this build but i feel that i badly need to improve some parts of the gear to do withhout dieing like a rabbit to bosses and to some mobs in 71-72+ modded maps

Holy shit, with mine lvl 70 I have 18k DPS on DS with hatred on and thought this is bad... Thanks for making me feel better now :)

Well I bought my weapons for a total of 6 chaos, I think it was a good deal:

Hey guys, I've been running this build for quite some time now (lvl 85 now).
I think I got pretty good gear (legacy soultaker and 350pdps sword). However I'm at 'only' 17k Cyclone dps.

I'm wondering on what pieces I can improve? As I hear people talk about 25+kdps.

So my question:
Would getting 1 or 2 Le Heup of All Rings + Carnage Heart be a good investment IF I swap Life On Hit for Conc Effect and get Vaal Pact?

Gear:

@Tr0j4n

Well there's a cpl things really. First using a Concentrated Effect Gem will improve your dps by a lot. Also having 20% Quality on your dps gems helps too. Both your weps are better then mine and i believe at 85 my Cyclone tooltip dps was sitting at around 23k or so. But i have all 20% gems and Conc Effect. Plus our builds might be slightly different too, would need to look at that to see any major differences or possible improvements. I'm at about 29k now at lvl 90 with a slightly diff setup tho.

But basically for a quick dps increase get Conc Gem. Other then that getting higher #-# Phy Dmg Rolls on rings/ammy/gloves will of course improve your dps as well. As well as higher atk spd, but those are all pretty minor increases.

But i would keep lgoh, and switch out WED for Conc. Don't bother with Vaal Pact or the duel ring/ammy combo. 20/20 lgoh gem + 2% LL from gear is more then enuff to facetank everything there is on any map mod.

Altho not really sure if getting a 20% Le Heup would out perform a perfect 9-15 phy dmg/7atk spd rolled ring tho. That would be nice to know, but i suck at math and all that so I'll leave that to someone else lol
