will have to do some more pvp..

what does the dot dot imply .. ?

How would this build fair versus a mirror match, and what strategies can be used to gain the upper hand?

no mirror match encountered so far, as I am apparently the pioneer of this build.

However, the biggest pain in the arse is you-kn0w-who (google) who punctures and kites.
I can win if i had 50 staunchings, but 5 flasks are not enough for the easily spammed puncture + lightning warps.

EDIT: and you're a pretty large hemorrhoid too for this build. Any burst flicker would end my build because I forego a lot of eHP and defense.

Dual wield means no shield.
No shield means no block.
No block means getting 1 shot by flicker strike.

Second edit: I quit the current pvp. On to another game that actually requires real skill in pvp.

I'd imagine 2 knockback reavers barely seeing each other with the 8-stack reave radius with Inc.Area + knockback, it would come down to gears I guess, unless 1 of them figures out a counter-gem/passive.

So, basically any puncture or burst flicker build out there would be this build's main weakness, no need for name-calling.

Well it's a shame you promoted the PvP build on page 1, and called it quits on page 2. Hopefully someone will take off where you stopped and figure something out against said weaknesses then. Good luck.

I didn't stop. I only called it quits for the current pvp.
This is a guide for pvp and pve. Not everyone cared so much about standard league pvp like I had.

And I've thought of all possible counters against said guerilla tactics.
Unfortunately, there is no possible solution with my current resources. Basically, if I can't do it, I'm damn sure no one else can.

EDIT: Page 1 took me a month to figure out and optimize. If you're implying that I give up easily, with that "calling it quits on page 2" remark... well, I think you're right. I'm a quitter.

and that's in the broadest of definitions, the most liberal of which I've ever seen.

About the PvP
Just wanted to say that if a build has no counter in PvP then there is something wrong with that build.

:P
a ton of builds counter the sh*t out of this build.
RF doesn't count.
Puncture and flicker are the main threats.
And any bow-puncture builds suck too.
