[1.2.x] AlfaPOWA's Dualstriker - Update under construction. TBA

ah excellent - sounds like a build tailored for my laziness then!

got a question: How important is critical hits for this build? Was wondering if it was worth trying to see if I can get to Resolute Technique (by not putting any points into the accuracy / critical hit nodes)?

Thanks.

You obviously haven't looked at the tree, there are no acc/crit nodes taken :)
This is intentional, since we don't want to crit. Crits will kill you if they hit to hard =)

oops , my bad. I had some other build window open also and saw it's summary and completely got mixed up.

I need to L2R sometime very soon, I am too old not to ! :)

Do you think a dual-wield Dyadus, Purity of Fire/ice, weapon elemental damage build would work with this?

Here's my tree ideal: 108 points, level 90.

You wouldn't use BoR.

You would stack WED on gear, along with attack speed. Run both Purity of Ice and Purity of Fire. Run Grace as a third aura if able.

Links would be:

Dual Strike + Melee Splash + Multistrike + Faster Attacks + Weapon Elemental Damage + Mana Leech / Life Leech / Blood Magic(Drop all mana regen nodes if going 6L blood magic gem.)

New Dual Hander Axe in 1.0.2, what are your thoughts? Will it beat claws?

Not even close.
No leech, to slow, one weapon with the same damage as one claw but you can only use one of those axes.= half damage. Better defence thou.

EDIT: Unless the row with "Counts as dualwielding" means that you can equip two of these, then it starts to get interesting, we could totally adapt the build for axes instead, resulting in the need for carnage heart amulett instead.

EDIT2: After more consideration i would say it's still not good. Dps wise it works, but you loose 12% leech from nodes and potentially 6+6% leech from claw's themself. that's 24% leech, you can get 10% back from carnage heart.. but loose out on damage and Life :)

What about respeccing into 2H damage n stuff? :p

Any Tips to Upgrade Current Gear Appreciated. Running 3x Auras - Grace / Determination / Purity with 9% spare so having soultaker means No mana issues later I will be transitioning to 2x Claws when crafting stops hating me so badly.


***Yes i know there is a health pot and I am using vaal pact. Just forgot to change it before i logged XD***

You got pretty good gear, you should do about 35+K with that setup.
The upgrades i can recommend are:
Q your claw!
Get an 6L chest with eva/armor with high life and some ress.
Get some lifeleech on gloves/rings
Get flat damage mods om rings/amulets
Get an better belt with higher life

About gems, get max Q/lvl on all.
Dump out melee damage on full life for added fire instead
Dump out faster attacks for weapon elemental damage elemental damage

What these gems will do for you is make you do more even damage to all mobs, instead of getting resisted against your almost pure phys damage. Also it will make you NOT kill yourself against phys reflect =)

After this it's not much more to do =D
