[1.1.3] HitMe's Invasion Wings Dualstriker "Manmode confirmed" **Cheap and Effective!**

Thought i'd share how it's going for me atm. Currently lvl 74.

With grace + hatred.
Offensive:
10080.4 Dual strike
1206.7 ST

Defensive:
Hp: 5164
Armour: 10170 (57% phys reduction)
47% chance to block attacks.
12% chance to block spells

-60% chaos resistance tho. really have to do something about that :p

Yeah I had around the same phys reduction *it was 53% until i switched to gear with chaos res on it.

I figured the switch would help considering how many invaders that do chaos damage will rip your character in the blink of an eye.

And if you wouldn't mind posting or PMing me your build id like to see it ^.^

This is where I'm at now. I will be heading to the marauder part now for hp/armour.
Fairly soon I will rip soon if I don't get chaos resistance. It's hard to get with my current gear tho.

Cool looking build. I noticed if you drop ambidexterity and the two dex nodes you can pick up the attack speed and physical damage nodes by dualist. Gives you 2% more attack speed.

Damn judge good catch. It depresses me to say this but I didn't even know the nodes in that wheel were dual wield (because im bad lol). I keep noticing all of my builds ive posted don't have the 8% IAS node on the rangers start. I will update the finished builds to reflect this change thank you ^^.

And shibby good luck with the mara tree =P. that tree is where points go to get burned in a relatively inefficient manner now (where is that 14% max life node that used to be in mara, why GGG why...).
P.S. I'd like to know what you specifically think about the build having leveled with it quite a decent amount <444 (3 more than <333)

I'm actually purely going in there for the 10% all resists and +1% to all elemental.

I might respect around 20 points and head north to get the life over there and the 16% less mana reserved nodes.

This would give me around 150-180 spare mana i believe. So i guess with mana leech items i could take out blood magic gem and run dual - melee splash - multistrike - melee phys damage - faster attacks in my 5l. This would boost my dmg by 2-3k dps.

I just don't know for sure i will be able to maintain my manapool with 2-4% mana leech.

are you going Elemental Adaptation as well as the max res in Mara tree?

FA will math out to be like 4.2-5k DPS increase

I would say you would end up at 120 mana at most but most likely be sitting around 96ish

You might be able to run FA with the mana pool but it would depend how fast you attack and subsequently leech because you will not get the full leech amount unless you Dual Strike and then stand around for 2 seconds.
E.X. I was able to run Dual Strike with 58 mana when it cost 44 as long as you don't completely wiff an attack

Protip: switch out to a dual strike that is level 5 because it maintains its level 1 mana cost value at that level. (probably already know this but some others might not *felt like I should mention it*)

If i can i would go elemental adaption and get diamond skin in mara tree aswell yeah. haven't calculated what that would mean in form of dropping points so idk atm.

As for the reduced mana reserved, i can get 16%. This does mean my auras would reserve 16% less right? They reserve 44% right now. So they should reserve 28% right?
My complete mana pool is 423. 423 / 100 * 56 = 237 mana reserved. 423 - 237 = 186 mana pool.
Or is this not how it works?

They don't cost the exact % less with the nodes you would add the 16% to whatever your Reduced Mana is so at level 17 RM its 74 - 16 = 58% reduced reservation (approximately 34% mana reservation for 60% auras).

Only reason to go into Mara tree at this point is Warrior's Blood (For running Blood Rage) and Reduced Enemy Critical Strike Multiplier Reduction (because its one of the best nodes in PoE, problem is, its on the armor side of that wheel).

If your already Resolute Technique You can easily not go into the Mara and pickup the 7 health nodes on the way to Elemental Adaptation, also can respec out of athleticism because its actually a pretty inefficient way to get health. I'd also like to find a way to respec out of the 4 8% max life nodes that are north of Iron Reflexes but I haven't managed to find a build I still like doing that...

*Going to start streaming in the next three days (gotta get webcam and setup some stuff so the quality isnt shit, hopefully this will work out ^^)
