Was looking for a melee that looked fun to play, stumbled on this guide a few days ago. As a new player, was reluctant to try out this build as it didn't have too many comments and was wondering if it would turn out to be not that good. I also worried that sweep just wasn't a very good ability, as I don't see many threads where people are talking about builds based around it. Well, this build is freakin fun and powerful and I was wrong to ever doubt it. I am now about to hit act 3 in merciless and I am tearing everything up.

What I find fun so far is that not only is the AoE dps RIDICULOUS, but the single-target damage is out of this world also. I'm 1 or 2-hit killing most rare mobs with heavy strike. Entire rooms die to sweep without being able to do anything. Bosses are stunned so much that they are barely able to do anything.

As for survivability, the only problems I have had are when I simply get overconfident because of the crazy dps and jump into a room filled with elites and a rare or two. I have over 3k hitpoints at 62 with fairly mediocre gear. Right now I am in about to hit act3 of merciless and honestly it feels like I am in Cruel on my last character. The game almost feels bugged how trivial it is.


My only worry right now is how reflect will treat me later on.

You dont use any sort of Blood Magic and you run 2 auras plus you dont use any mana pots?
