Evasion is not random, however without armor, when you do get hit, it is going to hurt like hell, especially if it is from more than one source. Evasion might be good for SC but I do not recommend it for HC.

Mathematically, I'm not convinced, but there is at least one thing that is better with armour: one-hit-deaths.

Let's say that in two cases, evasion and armour are able to halve the average damage.
- You have 200 Life
- BigEnemyAxe hits with 300 dmg

damage taken: either 0 + 300 + 0 + 300 or 150 + 150 + 150...

In the latter case, you can try to run after the first hit. If you evade, you have no idea, how much it will hurt next time ;)

I'd prefer a constant flow of damage instead of high peaks if everything else is the same.

LER, is there a reason that life on hit is optional for Cleve?? thanks

Yes.
YOu only need LOH in early game since in late, youll have high HP, lifeleech and DPS to support your life leech.
LOH doesnt scale with gear. Life leech does.

any1 want to donate me some chromes?


blahhhhhhh seriously I just used 180 chromes trying to get the colors I want on this chest:





I want RRRGB


seriously I think the odds of me ever rolling the colors I want are pretty much 0.


Cleave
Melee Physical
Life on Hit (life steal when I get a better sword)
Faster Attacks
Concentrated Attack



I found that chest by the way... I was SO excited when I found it... but I've dumped pretty much all my wealth into getting the sockets I need. Meh, I would of been better off just buying a chest with the color sockets I want and Alch / Scour it until I get half decent stats.





Just to stay a bit more on-topic... Here's the rest of my gear and my passive tree. I'm almost in Act 2 Merciless, and everything has been a breeze! My only problem thus far has been a few mob types (kiting ranged lightning mostly)

GEAR



PASSIVE TREE (level 58)





Thanks again for the work thus far on the build guys!!! AND don't forget to PM me if you want to donate some chromatic orbs to my endless black-hole trying to roll the sockets i need on my chest!!!

I'm lvl 49. Just hit a1 merciless. my gear is better than yours, I got more dmg on weapons, but not the offensive nodes in +phys sword dmg in the build yet.

I had so much trouble in a3 cruel. and my dmg is really low.. :s
1050 duels trike dmg and 600-700 cleave dmg. I only run Grace aura for +1k armor. 50% phys reduction (2.6k armor), 2k hp now in merciless my resi are a bit low but still.. :p

im currently using this build, im loving it, so good, currently lvl59 but im still using

are those the best gloves for this build? is it possible to find a glove that would give me more dps?

I quess putting cleave in 5 link is more beneficial than dual strike? Running maps mainly.

So Cleave, Faster Attacks, Concentrated Effect, Melee Physical and Added Fire Damage? Don't really see Culling being worth it as mobs really die to one more cleave with or without culling when low life.

Culling is mainly for the increased damage ( which is now 22% for me at lvl 18 ) and if you get some quality, culling strike actually becomes increased attack speed instead of decreased , using fire damage you won't get any more physical , and get no more life leech , using culling will net you much more life leech, I'd only take added fire as a 6th gem.

also, just to add... IMO the preferred skill slots for Cleave should be as follows:


(* = required)

* Cleave
* Faster Attacks
* Concentrated Attack
* Melee Physical
5th link -> LoH (OR LS. I use LoH because it fills hp instantly and has no healing cap)
6th link -> Increased AoE OR Added Fire Damage


I find that even while running with 3 auras that give increased radius, cleave still has a relatively small AoE radius. The 6th slot with cleave is really just flavor / personal preference. The fire damage would most likely be more beneficial... but if you are lazy like me, You'll want to be hitting a larger area :)
