Hey Serge,

Very nice build, level 75 and having lots of fun with it so far.

Quick question, I am currently using Infernal Blow after I got bored with EQ. I currently have Amplify, don't you think it's worth it for Infernal Blow? I see you mention it only for EQ.

Thanks!

IB does benefit from AOE, but it is not AS good as it is for EQ. Your choice, ofc.

So currently playing with BoR as currency is a bit slow ATM on PFBHC, I see you link a BoR in OP but unless I'm mistaken it still has 'Sanctuary' (4 passives) on the left, I assume we can spec out of this as with Ascendency (8%) plus Tempest Shield (3%) we are at 78%. Or do you keep it to have a higher 'out of combat block'?

In addition to the above I have a question about 6L, EQ and tooltip. As I have a BoR (thus no chest) I thought I would so some testing with a Tab + Rare helmet in comparison as you say 6L is end game BiS. Using the links EQ + Less + Added Fire + Melee Phys + Conc + Increased AoE I've actually gone from 23K to 16K - obviously this is no doubt due to BoR's 'added x to physical attacks' but I thought the 6L would make up for it (as suggested in thread), mind you I didn't have Meginord's Girdle on since it was a quick test in maps but surely that wouldn't make the difference?

Cheers

Feel free to spec out if it if your block is capped without it, I actually haven't calculated the total block chance for the BoR version in Ascendancy.

That's extremely strange, what level/quality are your support gems in your 6L setup? 20-30 flat phys is a lot, that is definitely true, but still, it shouldn't beat a 6L.

I started leveling a character based on this guide, so far been a great guide and a fun character to play.
I just got to act4 normal and went to get a Chaos golem. I noticed the Intelligence for the character is a bit low for the gem requirements. I researched and found the Intelligence required for the Chaos Golem is 79-155. Even with gear and taking the +30 nodes on the passive tree that is going to be a bit tough to reach for a Strength/Dex build especially that 155 number.
Are you still recommending the Chaos Golem?
Did you just level the gem a few levels then stop?
Or did you just pick a Flame or Stone Golem?
Thanks!
You can level it till your INT allows it or you can simply go for stone golem, which is also good.

Im a Duelist-for-life player and I absolutely enjoyed your build in Perandus League.
Managed to get 94 with pretty much exactly your skill tree.

quickswitching increased aoe to conc effect works wonders on bosses with ice crash.
Thank you for this take on the duelist!

What kind of EQ dps can you get with this build with an ideal gear setup?

Updated, the official tree still doesn't have 8 Acendancy points, though. But I described which ones to take under "ascendancy" section.
