[1.2.2] Sando's 1.4m+ dps Dual Strike Scion / Uber Atziri viable

^thanks sando :)

I mean if he wanted to use spectral throw with the 6L armour, he would've rather called it a spec-throw build and using dual strike for the sub-single-target skill.
It may have slower mapping speed. (he almost one hit things anyway..) but he would kill atziri so much faster than spec-throw based builds.

Thanks for understanding !!

I'm really liking your build so far, but I seem to be a glass cannon. I got all spec points expect for the upper area where ci is. Here is my gear below. I got around 1.5k/1.7k for energy shield/life each (with hatred and discipline.), so that's around 3k of health points. Any tips?

Its really hard to do maps and level with low es if you are not careful. especially with low armour, evasion or resistances. Sando suggested me to change to CI if you think you will have over 3500 or 3000 at least. I think you may want to get Es chest instead of armour chest (you probably have already anyway) I would persoanlly say 1.7k (if you convert it just as you are rght now) es is kinda low but i dont know your level and it is just my opinion :) I mean if you dont die i guess it doesnt really matter but exp penalty sucks :'(

I changed to CI at level 68 when i got myself 500+ es chest piece with evasion (i couldnt find cheap armour/es ones..)

Oh he also told me it is more reliable with the armour/es as it reduces the damage taken from the mobs instead of dodging. Sadly ive chose shadow and got evasion nodes so im working my way to get iron reflexes until i get a good armour with 700+es and atziris gloves.
This way i can respec 9/10 from getting vaal pact plus additinal 5/6 points to get iron reflexes. This will definitely bump up my dps and es by ALOT.

When i was levelling before i converted to CI i was using might flays till level 68.. using 5l belly of the beast and meginord for 30% life boost. I still did around 30-40k dps when i got my abyssus helm. Using tabula rasa is good as usual for any build really ;) oh and ive got the crit chance and multiplier nodes first and tries to get all the es passives first. This way i didnt waste any currencies to respec to CI. Just use the points from the quests given from normal --> merciless. After that.. omg im still surprise how much damage i do.. 2 second kill dominus farm: 1 second to get dom to below 10% hp and 1 second to swap weapon and cull with iir and iiq gem.

Cray cray build and get rich yo.
Ive seen people farming qith this build and bought themselves mirrored items like loath banes (i guess everyone did.... hahah)

Good luck and have fun like i am haha :)
Edited : spelling errors (phone sucks)

Hello Sando! I'm following your guide, it looks nice when you kill bosses in 2 sec. Can u give me a tip what should I do with my gear and where I can farm? maps or dominius? team or solo ? I'm lvl 75 now, my es is 3,5k with disciple. My gear:

yea i know its low :P

At this situation, you have to choose to either level up or farm currency.
Since there's no point of having high level when you don't have gears to equip, I suggest farming.
I think Dominus is your best bet. You can gather orbs and sell unique items to get the mirror fast.
If you are worried that you don't have enough MF, you can try using Rat's Nest.

Does anyone ever use melee splash...? Thats how I have been leveling with a Tabula anywho.

Also has anyone tried this with Moltenstrike?

I have tried both while i was levelling but i dont know if molten strike is good. Small aoe and wasnt my type haha :) melee splash is good but that means you are sacrificing alot of dps for sngle target ability. I recommend ysing spec throw, i learnt how to kill large number of mobs in maps without getting stunned like heck. Make sure you level your gems tho :)

Oh if you really want try using specthrow with 6l and 4l dual strike until you swap to CI

If ES/Life is 1.5k/1.7k it's not that low, perhaps you didn't take Vaal Pact?
If I look at your item setting, I think it's time for you to farm up.
If you can do dominus farming, do that, you will gather currency fast.
Then I suggest changing your weapon or chest to 6L.

Thanks for the advice. I should have mentioned what skill gems I was actually using. I looked at blood rage's health degeneration and it scared me. Though I surviving decently ever since I started using it. Also which do you think is better Dominus or map/eternal lab farming?

Dom farming is fast way to earn money. You can get at least 1 mirror in 1 month!
