Ok, it's been too long to edit that post but forget it all, I'm up to ~45 on my duelist and have most of the leveling gear, and it's both fun and powerful. I see how it's a lot less powerful in the Prophecy league without a legacy version, but even with my 725% FBs I figure it'll work for how I want to play.

Now my new question is whether the ascendancy advice still accurate? It reads like there are 6 points, so I'm curious how the 2.3 changes might affect things. Is slayer any better now with 8 points? If I'm playing in a group is Champion then the obvious choice? Do the two long paths in Slayer look any better, even if the minors are kind of wasted with the 2h bonuses? Stun and bleed immunity plus 50% reduced reflect seems nice on top of a bunch of leech, but maybe the other workarounds are good enough to merit another tree?



I never liked to waste points like that, but yea Slayer could work indeed, I'd prefer Champion anyway due to better defenses which is usually the drawback of any melee build. Reflect and Bleeding was never an issue anyway unless you run phys reflect maps.

Sorry for the slow response, I'm having a slight burned out situation at the moment.

That's awesome and appreciated, since I don't have any endgame experience to know what is important and what's not really an issue. I guess it's always possible to respec my ascendancy, but it looks pretty expensive as a first build. All of Painforged plus Gratuitous Violence looks pretty decent, but I think the taunt pieces of Champion make it better for the group I'll be playing with.

I'm planning to go for Unstoppable, Inspirational, and Worthy Foe line and just do the Fortify via a gem.
