Perz' Reave Shadow

for armor-life base
there is actually a possibility to use Bringer of Rain+Aegis Aurora
taking Iron Reflex but NOT Unwavering Stance

Blind reduces chance to hit by 75%, so even though your chance to evade so minuscule (5%, this means enemy will hit 95% most of time), their chance to hit is being reduced by 75% to 23.75%
that is HUGE damage mitigation with similar mechanism to evasion


on top of that 75% Block
6k+ armor without aura
lots of life (something like 6k+ with +hp on gear)
+ES on block (get some high ES boot/glove or run discipline to 600-800 ES, then you can go AFK)

in fact, i am going to remake with that build!
after seeing this:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/690934

i actually have a ranger and a shadow but then i realized, duelist is probably the best class for it, due to less skill points required. Both ranger and shadow class need more skill points to connect with the build

Build with few tweaks:

any suggestions are welcome

Gear available
Spoiler


Skill setup
Spoiler

Option 1: Reave-Multistrike-Blood Magic-Added Fire Damage or Additional Accuracy
Option 2: Frenzy-Multistrike-Melee Splash-Blood Magic

Aura: Hatred-Discipline-Tempest Shield (after 5% mana reserved node)
from previous character, i find discipline is more helpful than Grace because it pointless to restore so much ES on Block if there is no ES to restore



claw has innate 3-6% life leech which is already good enough (with some life leech on amulet), since we cannot leech more than 20% of our HP pool per second (not taking Vaal Pact).
So i probably would not invest into life leech passive

My brother does something very similar, uses Reave, and swords(PvP priority build) to get the anti block nodes, as alot of people are going block these days. I doubt you will get 6k life unless you over indulge, and even then, he only has 4.5k life or something with his 800ish es with my disc aura, and he almost, NEVER dies, even with the most craziest map mods. The only thing that really effects him, is the occasional 1shot ability by a boss with +500000k dmg that rarely gets through blind, and block. Another slight weakness is degeneration, but easily countered. Only weakness is the "lack" of damage, however still plenty for pvp or pve. Just not gonna instantly kill bosses in high level maps.

actually my ranger (currently lvl 82) uses also sword + reave
but i find sword lacks of critical chance and life leech, while claw has more critical chance and life leech (innate and passive), therefore the crit multiplier bonus from sword is kinda insignificant

the only thing sword excels is slightly more range with master of arena and rapier, it has 9 range, but this range is so negligible if using reave in contrast to cylcone
damage is actually a non issue, it depends mainly on your weapon
with a 400+ dps sword, your dps can easily inflate to 40k+

you are right my HP is only 4k+, but if you see my link to other thread, his duelist can reach 6k HP, so i think it is possible

i don't like melee without vaal pact that does physical dmg. especially not when you run es.

i´am lvl 81 for now. my reave is doing nearly 20k dps and i got over 8 attacks per second.
my es is near 4k and mana near 600
lots of fun for me so far :-)

maybe u can tell me what to upgrade next?

I'm at the point now in my passive tree where I can either go for Ondar's Guile or Iron reflexes, and I'm having a hard time deciding whether to go armor or evasion. It sounds like the only down side to going with IR is you will get hit with projectiles more often, but when they do hit it will be for less damage so it doe not seem like so much of a problem really. Armor just seems like it's more reliable.

This is my first CI character though, so I don't really know if armor or evasion works better with CI. What's recommended for a first time CI player?

Also, is it viable to run IR without US and just use an eye? It would free up quite a few passive points.

impossible get 3rd aura. with 15% more reduced reserve only have 47 mana left, so cant use reave :(
