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

Hi guys. So the trees in the original post is still broken. g3n3r1c posted his passive tree, is it similar to the tree that is recommend? Should I follow this one?

Sorry for noobish questions, but this is my first "real" melee character, so I don't want to ruin it. :)

Quick question... it seems that everything i level up or do something to my character excluding taking gear off, the dps on my dual strike seems to decrease... why is that happening?
What came first Mcdonalds or KFC?

My build is loosely based on the Original Post 111 pt build with suggestions taken from this thread, geared for 'Cyclone' as the main skill, with more of an emphasis on life pool survivability. I'd recommend taking the passive "Heart of Oak" if you plan to use a different main skill like Dual Strike.

Bandits = help oak on all difficulties


My Current Gear at lvl 91
I also have a leveled 'Blood Rage' gem in an unset ring I switch in at times as this build can handle it without degen.

all I know is that I don't know anything at all

Thanks for the trees g3n3r1c!

Another question. Have I understood right the Cast when Damage Taken gem: Supported gems level requirement have to be lvl 31 or less to work, right? I got confused with the original post, where the supported gems are over 31.

Thanks in advance.

you don't want to level the Cast when damage taken too far since it will take more damage to trigger linked spells the more you level it, then again, you may want one leveled high to set off a more powerful higher level spell, but since it will take more damage taken to set off a higher level CWDT it will trigger less frequently.

You don't want to level your linked gems too far, the level requirement of the linked gems must be the same or less than the level requirements of the CWDT gem.
A level 1 CWDT gem's level requirement is 31
all I know is that I don't know anything at all

x2p's build concentrated on heavy damage and specialised in swords and axes, LGoH to make up for low health and low armour.
My build had more life and better armour, but a lot less damage. I also took non-weapon specific nodes so i can equip any weapon, such as sceptres and claws.

Whichever suits your playstyle :)

My Old Blender






So many strikes within one breath.
But only one strike needed, for certain death.

Wonder if Blood Rage gem would work with this build and could its life leech be enough and trees regen nodes be enough if get a lot chaos res from gear to stay alive even of blood rages negative "status". Lgoh taken away from cyclone aswell. Any thoughts? Long time since I last time playd with my dual strike blender and thought came back with better gear (possible ST etc.) and thought make some changes, like that blood rage, if possible.

It's feasible. You could remove some dps nodes for life regen, equip some chaos res and replace the dps by swapping LGoH with another dps gem. I would suggest weapon elemental or melee damage on full life.

I have done this in the past by swapping LGoH with MDoFL/wed and equipping a 4% life leech amulet or carnage heart. The extra dps gives you even more leech effect.

The problem lies with large groups of enemies. LGoH gives you +54 instant health from every enemy on every attack, but leech will only take your biggest hit on one enemy at any given moment, and it takes at least 5 full seconds to restore life from 1hp to full.

And of course, if you couple the blood rage gem life leech with LGoH, you can become pretty tanky.

Bought now that ST which I have never used before and need collect currencies on leg bor now on other char (100+ ex worth gear on it, but not yet gonna quit it). Everything else i have quite rdy. No regen on gear, -18 chaos res, 3% leech from amu, 2% from tree. Tested lvl1 blood rage gem and it degenerated only rly tiny pit of hp. As i looked wiki, degen doesnt rise at all while lvling gem, but leech rises. Guess could atleast take leech off from tree. Definetly going for it.
