Official Blender Post! Lets theory craft for 1.2! 123k Cleave DPS!
" 1. farm dom runs. ALOT (seen bor drop there before it got nerfed) 2. post shop on forums 3. buy a legacy item before they become legacy (easily sold higher than was baught) bare in mind that many old players baught the soultaker after it got nerfed for very cheap (it used to cost only 35ex, which is relatively cheap) |
|
" if i remember correctly some1 from this forum tested it compared to dual strike, against Kole, and concluded that cyclone tooltip shows like half of its effective dps (in ur case its about 60k i believe) |

thank u for the info. i was just confused, cause the poe cyclone info says, that the tooltip dps was fixed, but im pretty sure i do way more damage than 30.5k. i kill like twice as fast as i did with 32k heavy strike.
its weard though, that GGG says they fix it. i dont get it. thx anyway mate |

Hi, i've found that thread few days ago and started to leveled a Duelist with a friend, that i lost because he plays less than me so i'm now in merciless act 2 when he's in cruel end of act 2. The blender is kinda fun to play. I'd like to have some check-up with you guys, having more experience on this build than me, i'm lvl 57 soon 58 here's my actual gear and build, should i change anything and what (and by what kind of items if you can say :D)?

I got 2113hp (way low i think), 48%fire/-1%cold/32%lightning/-60%chaos(dunno why xD). I dont have that much problem atm on the beginning of act 2 merc, except every Vaal area that i can't clear the little end boss only if i die 10 times. Thanks for answering and helping me ;). |

" Get out of the wheel of life (above and left of the starting area) -- at least the 6% nodes and finish getting Thick Skin and the life nodes in the Golem's Blood area (but that notable). That'll get you 52% life compared to the 24-40% you have in the wheel of life, plus give you a bit more damage from Water Dancing. I don't think you need Armor Mastery this early either, I'd use those to go ahead and finish off those changes now and work on the Ranger side of the tree next. How i'd respec: Next 10 pts: Gear-wise you need way more resists. At this point you should be capped on elemental (and you don't really have to worry about Chaos resist at this point). If you want to keep your weapons you really should roll a third socket on the off-hand one. |

" Thanks mate, i made changes on my build, i'll try to buy some items with resists (what actual items i got should i change ?) |

I have a question for anyone that can answer, (i couldnt find the answer in the post), what makes DW superior to 1h and shield?

" Both rings, chest, belt. The gloves aren't necessary for leech once you get to a good DPS so I'd drop those too. Life + 2 resists (50%+ combined) should be the minimum, attack speed or +Phys damage is a nice bonus. I honestly have no idea about the weapons, they may be good or may not be at this point, but I'd swap them out for decent Phys DPS weapons you might find to get an idea of how it will impact your DPS. |

" Of course i do so, but still no luck. Oh, and i have a fun story about it also. Once in a very start of an Anarchy league i decided to chance siege axes. And in like 10 chances i got Soultaker. I didn't needed it so i decided to sell it. It was first ST on league so i didn't know the price and sold it for 15ex. On the next day i saw several ST on poe.xyz with 35-40ex b/o. I was so sad i can't describe it! ʕ•̫͡•ʕ*̫͡*ʕ•͓͡•ʔ-̫͡-ʕ•̫͡•ʔ*̫͡*ʔ

I've got a question for you soul taker + cyclone users:
is concentrated effect reaaly worth it? I've got like 35 int on my blender (can still spend points in 2x 30 int nodes), so I was wondering if the dps boost is really worth the radius nerf. What's the best gem setup nowadays? I was planning cyclone + added fire + life gain on hit + weapon elemental damage |
