What's the point of using culling strike with cleave since it reduces so much our cast / attack speed? is the third property that good?

culling strike reduce the attack speed/cast speed in the early lvl.10% is hight yes but this build got some insane attack speed already so its not that big.when the skill get higther,attack speed reduction get lower,you gain a physical dmg bonus and if the gems got +quality,it give 0,5% attack speed/%(well that what the wiki say im not sure)

basicly at the begening it lower you dps a little,after it increase you dmg and culling strike are usefull for monster will lot of hp like unique,boss etc,they get 1shot after they reach 10% of their hp.i wasnt sure of this skill but after that i see it actualy boost the dmg,its pretty good.

p.s:act2 merciless finished,was pretty easy exept vaal....lost like 45-60% of my lvl on him,got some unlucky shot,1 dsync etc....starting act3

hmm i cant seem to see ur gear

you mean on the first post that explain the build?yes,those gear was from close beta and with the wipe it deleted all the gear so the gear link from stuff in CB dont work anymore.ceta said a few post back that he might update it later.dont know if he will do it :P look like he dont come often on this post lol

Is there an exact list which skill and support gems are needed?

Like a summary?

What I saw so far:

Skill gems:
Dual Strike
Flicker Strike
Whirling Blades
Blood Rage


Support Gems:
Blood Magic
Culling Strike


Please help to get a full list.

He didn't use blood magic support gem, because he is speced in to blood magic.

Dual Strike + Faster Attacks + Melee Physical + Added Fire?
Cleave + Faster Attacks + Concentrated Effect + Culling Strike + 2 more gems to add damage (your options are weapon elemental damage, added fire, melee physical)
Whirring Blades + Faster Attacks (mobility skill)
Warlord's Mark
Blood Rage
Flicker Strike + things to boost damage (I think? It could have been whirring blades with damage boosted)
Anger
Wrath? (optional)
Grace

Basically, faster attacks is amazing. Added Fire / Weapon Elemental / Melee Physical depends on build and weapons. Just use whatever gets you the most damage, although melee physical increases hard leech.

While leveling use Life Gain on Hit with cleave. It is as god-like with cleave on a dual wield ranger as it is on a bow character using split with chain.

Be really careful around the lightning shield guys in act3. With 80 lightning resist I can still kill myself in under a second while cleaving. It's totally broken.

Does this still work?

lvl 43 so far , and I'm out tanking my templar/marauder RL friends , and outdpsing them , it's amazing !


Just one question for endgame , when I start trying to get the best one handers possible , what white swords should I collect to use orb ol alchemy on?

All the high level swords seem to be really close to eachother in dps , and only really differ in attack speeds.

See this list : http://www.pathofexile.com/item-data/weapon

I guess rapiers are terrible so I only looked at the swords.

Is midnight blade the best? It has the highest level but it seems to be slow and not even the highest dps.

Or is Eternal sword the best because it has good speed/dps ? Or maybe corsair sword because speed is really important?

TL;DR at endgame , what white sword should I take to use orb of alchemy on

i was just wondering if life leech would work for this build, and if it does which one would give the best results. would it be life leech or life gain on hit?

Could anyone (pref the TS) give more informations on what gems/abilities to use?

lifeleech ofcourse , this build uses loads of lifeleech to work, life on hit just doesn't cut it at higher levels, although it's very good on normal difficulty at the start.
