[1.0.X] [Marauder/Duelist] Facebreaker + BoR + Aegis Aurora | DPS & tank

Problem with Domination Blow without Soultaker are the stupid high mana or life cost. Spending 280 Life per Hit is not that great.

I remember you saying something earlier about a frenzy build you've been wanting to run so thats why I asked. There was also someone mentioning a 40k dps frenzy mana version that perked my interest. I guess that may be something different entirely.

My duelist has 8,5k DPS at level 45, which is quite impressive. Don't have time or desire to level it further now though. So I don't know how will it turn out at high levels.

I think you can get 40k with 6L AR/ES chest + Abyssus helm. But consider price of a good 6L chest. If I get enough wealth, I might try it, but didn't have a chance to do it yet.

Or you can put on a phys DPS amulet + ring with mana leech and run with two auras relying on mana leech. However I don't like mana leech, it's just not so convenient, especially on low regen/no regen maps. This option (with added fire gem instead of blood magic gem) boosts my dps by about 60% (say, from 17,5k to 30k). But at the cost of some defense (spell block, third aura) and convenience (mana). You get more HP from amulet though.

Going Frenzy gives more raw DPS as far as I remember. So 40k seems quite acheivable even with BoR + Facebreakers.

Frenzy needs more dex and on my duelist I was going to take 2 chagres from tree, Blood Magic talent (for added fire gem), use DPS amulet and Blood Dance or Darkray boots. And see how much DPS I can get. But never completed it yet :).

Hi Redzor!
Skill tree (at level 83) no 83, *84! ;)

Hmm, +1 point from bandits?

Finally respecced my build and I am really happy with the result. Couldnt get my hands on a bor so i am using abyssus instead. Works pretty well with abyssus . Almost 19k dps with infernal blow. Thanks again for sharing this build. Love it :-)

Just made the switch to Domination recently, thanks for this guide!

I noticed that all your gear is legacy.
how much do you loose with new gear?

My current gear is mostly a set of the new uniques.

You can take a look here


Cant tell you the difference between legacy and the nerfed gear but im very impressed what i am capable of with this build.

19k tooltip dps with infernal blow. I bought abyssus because i had not enough currency for BoR. My plan is to use Abyssus until i can get my hands on a BoR. But until then im fine with my gear ^^ works pretty good with abyssus too although im only at 5,4k armour. Also i didnt put a passive skillpoint into Iron Reflexes because i have no BoR yet.

I think two legacy items are Facebreaker gloves and Rainbowstride boots.

Legacy boots have additional 12% all resists.

Legacy gloves have more physical damage bonus. They will increase your dps by 20-25%.

should put cost effective in parentheses. I'm pretty sure Bringer + aegis is well over 15 ex. other than that, solid build
