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

went for the leech gear and passive to get to 20% anticipating taking Vaal Pact... that would leave me with 8% instant leech if I'm not mistaken.. that was the plan.. ultimately just to free up the LGoH socket for more damage, speed or MF.. now I got my damage boost for free :D with the last patch.. we'll see, I'm still toying with the build.

Hey guys,

I'd like to showcase my updated alternate Blender build "The Cyclonus"

As you guys are aware, 1.1.4 gave us a massive boost in DPS, the Blender is is back!

2H weapon users now get a 20% damage buff thanks to the last patch! I showing 29666 now on the tool bar, so double that (cyclone and plus) and the shit gets wrecked and then some!!!

I'm trying a mix of the Blender with Acrobatics. Does anyone knows if it can work?

Trying to get max block and 50% spell block with:



However, it hurts a lot to lose all the status provided by the amulet to gain the spell block :-(

hey all, i've been away for some months and now my build's been resetted,
i had a dual wield tree, but really different from this one, was using a lot of AS with life on hit, a lot of ES and mana to ES (but the low armor i have wasn't giving me a nice time), also am not "rich" enough to get those two uniques, so i was wondering, do you think this build from last page would work with "low" equips ? i was imagining to take all the elem resist nodes that are nearby (+18 ones, +6 all)

Of course it can work, but you can't expect to dodge and evade forever.

Cleave viable again for this build against dual strike? Since dual strike dmg reduced by 10%, if remember correctly.

tree

That's my tree :)
The good thing about my tree is that its very close to more resistance if you need it. Also, it doesn't use any specific weapon nodes so you can equip any 1h weapon.

63 point tree

I'm not sure what your other equipment is like since you mentioned that you have ES, but this tree is good for any kind equipment that's STR or DEX based, the tree is designed around the iron reflexes keystone and the grace aura.
As for those weapons, both of them are under 200pdps, and i would suggest upgrading them to 250pdps weapons, which go for 1ex each usually.

I tried cleave 20/20 and my dps got down by 10k. Its viable, but I think dual strike (Level 20 Q0) is still better.

About my experiments with acrobatics:

stats:
level 88
4k hp
dps (dual strike w/ melee splash and 3 frenzy charges): 42k
86% to hit (No resolute technique), 62% block, 40% dodge, 31% spell block)

tree (I want to remove those two 0.4% regen nodes, but without them I can keep up the blood rage atm):


results:
Easy double shrine piety
Easy dominus
Didnt tried Atziri yet

Some mods are deadly and I think its better to avoid them altogether.
Reflect with vulnerability is certain death.
Vulnerability alone can be dealt with if using a life leech gem and dropping blood rage (The Blood Rage damage is being the main issue for me. I'm being able to avoid most hits).

thank you for your reply

unfortunately i have just 4 GCP and 8 chaos, not exactly rich, when i got these swords they were quite rare dps-wise, i guess the game "softened" a bit with drops ?

my armor is all armour+es or eva+es, i'll probably need to change it :)
btw, i'll try it, let's hope i don't make an useless char ^^

edit: i am trying to see what i can do without the resolute technique node (it would mean 9 more points i can spend, even if i use 3-4 for 50% more accuracy, i think the hit would be ok, wouldn't it ?)
the only problem right now is that i have totally no chaos resist (well, nothing more armour can't fix) but principally the fact that i damage too few, so mana runs out very quickly, i can proudly say that i can do a quite nice damage with my old lightning strike (since i don't have anymore a 5L garb nor 4L gloves and feets, they required 90+ int..) i managed with these i had in my inv, with the buff (just grace) i have 7300 armour and 76 60 73 elem resists
