Well Sean, you did say in your thread "Feel free to post any thoughts/comments, I'd love to hear them."

I didn't feel utter-disdain for your build, nor was I left in awe of it. Meh, was my initial thought. And I left a comment such as the thread asked.

I have not read the entire "thread" at this time, I mainly wanted to show my support. As I'm currently working on my build which is similar to yours.

Duelist is simply the funnest class I've played thus far, I really like their node/keystone options. I had some of the same ideas you have in your build, granted I will add my own flavor.

Anyways, really just wanted to say that I'm glad to see another Duelist with similar thoughts as my own. It's a breath of fresh air with all these Elemental Builds every which way.

I will add my thoughts on an alternate build later after reading the thread.
*sorry 4 bad eng :)

I made some changes in your current build:

my build:


I removed the axe and going for sword. Also i removed some DW bonus and replaced them with one hand bonus (I think thats the same effekt, isnt it?) Dunno if this is a good idea. in the end you receive alot of dmg and attackspeed plus.

what do you think about it. is it solid, or must i go the axe way?

If i have to take the axe way, i made this way

"Also, all the Physical Damage nodes you're picking up in your tree will apply to Cleave, but not Lightning Strike."

I'm pretty sure this isn't true. The physical damage nodes apply to lightning strike, and then 50% of that damage is converted into lightning damage.

Hey bud, that's a prefectly great variation!

I actually haven't specced into any weapon specializations yet because I'm considering doing another weapon type as well.

I originally chose Axes due to the lack of Dex nodes in my build, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to use any other weapon type.

But now with the revised build I have much more Dex, therefore I should be able to use swords.

I'm still pondering on it.

Sorry, I do believe you are correct. I went ahead and read the skill tooltip.

Very interesting. However there are still come drawbacks to using it over cleave. Cleave hits everyone in a cone, whereas LS only hit up to 5 (if they're PERFECTLY lined up). I've noticed a lot of the time my projectiles will just fly past them.

With this new information its totally preference. I'll go ahead and update the OP. Thanks dude!

Bud, this isn't a duelist build.

I like the concept but it's not a DW spec. You're also loosing out on far too much resistance in my opinion. Just at a quick glance, you will have maybe ~6% more block chance than my build does, but you are sacrificing DW damage.

Is this a good build? Sure. Is this "a stronger build then mine"? Not for what I'm using mine for.

Thanks for your comments.
