but at level 36 I've been told my nearly 300 DPS cleave is low.

A bit. I reached that digit way before lvl30. At lvl30 I peaked at 500dps flat. Now at lvl31 I swapped Added Lightning for Mana Leech and I'm sitting at 430+.

This is with common weapons, two blue lvl17 rapiers with one elemental damage mod each. The damage comes mostly from the auras + WED. Do you have Anger & Wrath active?



The build so far has been awesome. Now because I have my gear dedicated to mana, DEX and slots I have awful resists and armor. Crematorium was a pain, but I haven't died yet (not that I would mind much in normal default) so I'm fine yet.

Just wondering what your thoughts are on spending the 3 points to get in reach of heart of the gladiator and diamond skin. I imagine resistances might not be needed depending on gear but what about the health?

not really worth it, yorue better off getting the 8% nodes, 1 8% nodes is about equal to 40 life. and resistances are pretty easy to cap and over cap.

is master of the arena really worth it? I heard +2 range doesn't work on cleave

I only took master of the arena to get to the armor and life nodes. i'm informed on the mechanics of the game and how they work, it is just a middle point to get to the sweet armor and life next to it

Love this build, so far has been my favorite build.. generally because I like builds that are more "melee" even though melee can still easily get facestomped due to how PoE is setup but majority of the time I just destroy mobs in maps. The only issues I ever have is getting close combat with bosses such as Brutus in maps.

Currently Level 74 and have 2.5k life(gotta work on it more), 6k armor and I deal 7.1k dps.

Current gear I'm using, and some definitely needs to be changed out

You really need more life on gear, and i suggest you replace the first sword with something a bit better, im happy you like and that its working out for you, melee for the win at some point they will nerf the boss damage in them 74+ maps so we can face tank them too!

That's what I've been working on, due to the 18% as in the first sword it's been very difficult to find something that outputs as much dps. I've spent countless times rolling, re-rolling and hoping for a better corsair sword to drop in maps.. but nothing yet. Sad that corsair sword is a ilvl 50+ item as well :/

Never spend orbs on trying to craft weapons! they are the hardest item to craft in PoE along with gloves!

Keep your orbs and jus try to buy a better one if you dont find one
