Sorry if this has been asked before but is this build viable in HC/Nemesis?

yes, was asked in 4x pages

In what instance would you use cyclone over dual strike?

Any. This was asked at least 300 times.

Is there a Scion version of this build somewhere? I hate Duelist. I don't like them =(

I love Scion, though! Can I make it work with Scion on Nemesis?

Any? that doesn't really help, If dual strike is the ability you use for single target and aoe then why/when would i use cyclone? I'd rather not look thru 50 pages in this thread to find out.

at if this has been asked ''300'' times then maybe the answer should be on the FAQ in the guide

Sorry i didn't mean to sound like a douche.

The guide says aside from what instances you should use cyclone over DS/Melee splash:

"Cyclone - Use this skill when you have Soul Taker or have no mana concerns."

If that condition is met, you are free to use cyclone altogether, period. If not, then DS/Melee splash is the way to go.

Having a nice time with this build. Thks OP.

Level 74 now. Still do not have good resists so using the sword below

DPS is about 12k with blood magic and splash.
Resists all maxed, thanks to the unique sword.
As soon as I can get some more resists, I will remove that unique.

Full resi, 52% armor (with grace!) 23k dps with duelstrike.i had more armor but i need to chance my gloves because if you dont have Lifeleech than the whole build is really squise. after 4 hours farming i saw i had no life leech like every mob was hitting really hard. got the lifeleech now and everything is VERY easy! :D i think my next goal is to reach 350dps swords (i would like to have Soul Taker but i will never get the currency for it not even for the new one) i am so bad in trading :(

Thanks for the guide i am level 75 now

I am loving the concept and stats behind this build. This is my first time playing as a duelist and so far I'm really enjoying the class playstyle.

My main concern right now, however, is the mana cost for keeping up Dual Strike. My current loadout is as follows:



Long story short - I am having some SERIOUS mana problems during my runs. Any way to help with this considering my reserved mana pool is sitting at around 30% all the time?

Hi 2P, i see you say you don't really walk anywhere and use skills to move instead. That said, why movespeed is mandatory on boots? Wouldn't it be better to get more resist or life or whatever else on them?
