[1.0.3] The Caged God --- 2H WHATEVER godlike DPS build--updated tanky RT version

Dresdner89 asked: HC Viable -- ??

If it's your first char -- no!

I am now lvl 44 with no deaths and it has been very easy thus far, but I had my belt and staff before I started the build and imo, you need both.



Obviously the staff is required and the belt provides the cushion.

The suggested gloves
I think you can live without

and the helm
could just be asking for trouble late game in HC.

I am now using Double Strike 1923 dps (700 dps increase since lvl 36) and Spectral Throw 380 dps, (with lmp now) my atk speed = 1.93. Dominus/Piety were taken down at lvl 39 both went down very easy compared to prior encounters in Normal with other char's.

Health: 1482
Mana: 258

My build, is "not" following the OP's build by going after all the crits, I provided my final build on page two and thus far it looks like this:

You can compare the stat improvements from page two over the last eight levels.

My current gear:


Only time will tell how good this build will be at lvl 80, my health rarely dips below 90%, I will soon be taking Iron Grip which should increase my spectral throw a ton.

Good luck & good hunting..

For those who have fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected will never know.

Its as HC viable as other 2H ST build(or other 2H build), and could provide more survivability.
Though as Ishkabibble mentioned,you probly don't wanna go crit and use Abyssus in HC.
Just take RT and grab more HP/Armor nodes when playing HC.
Im not so experienced in Theorycrafting ! Can u showme a HC viable EB+MoM Life based tree? Would be so cool. ! So no crit nodes.

EDIT : Your Tanky specc should work in HC as i see

Couple days ago i found this staff in my stash and jewel it to 5 sockets with just one jewel, then linked it with 3 fuses... That makes me think what can i do with this and here is your build lol.

So i assume is it way better to go RT version coz huge damage will always oneshot you on reflects? Actually I'm going to crit version but preparing a bunch of regrets to respect coz I'm feeling with my ass that reflects will be huge problem when end-gaming.

isn't the 20% quality an additive factor instead of a multiplicative? so, u have to use the base of potcg of (20+33)/2 = 28.5
Wouldn't this dominate with that amulet that is +100 stats to all? O_O

jrsyn covered this in his gears spoiler.

Still loving the build man keep it up :)
I will do thiy build with BoR and glacial hammer. Should result in a lot of fredzes from the skill itself and from crits, thus adding some additional survivability.
There is a pair of gloves with +100 STR. those would own. Its called Deshrets Vise.
