[2.2] Guide for Life based Crit Dagger Reave
|
I took the 2.1 VP skill tree and applied it to my duelist. My only issue is that I'm only level 82 (102 passive points) and the tree was for a full 121 points. Can candoerfer or someone else knowledgeable please help me figure out where to take the 19 points from? I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
121 Point Duelist Tree EDIT: I read what you wrote about going for 'From the Shadows' and 'Revenge of the Hunted' last. That saved me 8 points. 11 to go! 113 Point Duelist Tree Last edited by Nalroc#5088 on Feb 2, 2016, 11:00:57 PM

" At lv.82 you probably don't have a good crit dagger yet, so this is something that you could go for. Pupicitas: lv. 100 Shadow

" Thanks for the quick response! I don't have the greatest dagger but I don't think it is too bad. 8.31% crit and 251.2 PDPS. Link to dagger I also have 5L Belly, Abyssus, and Deaths Hand. Does any of that change your above suggestion? I appreciate your help! |

" Crit builds need naturally a high point investment, which is why it is impossbile to cover all of the important nodes with 100 points. Generally you start to focus on crit at later stages of the game, which is why I skipped the less important dagger wheel. Seeing that you are using Abyssus, which provides an insane DPS boost by itself, getting VP might be necessary after all, but that is something that you can asses yourself best.

Has the bug reported by OP (Dual Wield Bug with Reave and Main hand Mace) ever been patched yet?

" I have not read any patchnotes yet that adressed this. Since 2.1 patch the actual effect of this wierd interaction on this build are however limited, as you will optimally want to use use a Death's Hand anyway. Pupicitas: lv. 100 Shadow

Do you need either Bino's, VP or Acuity to make this work?

" Ah I see. I recently started playing again so I apologize in advance if I misunderstood or didn't understand certain mechanics or something but from my understanding: I was thinking it must've been fixed earlier since on your gem setup, you're using leap slam which needs death hands on main-hand, along with your mirrored dagger that has 1.9 aps on off-hand. Are you doing this because since you already have one of the top daggers, the opportunity cost of being able to leap slam outweighs the aps (some dps loss)from the dagger? " OP mentioned those aren't needed. His new 2.2 build also doesn't use VP anymore. PS: Also, I been going through pages after pages but I didn't see what you use if you're getting enough PC from death's hand at mid-tier maps. I'm assuming crit dmg multiplier? I'm not sure if 2.2 changes anything though. Last edited by Shilyu#3477 on Mar 3, 2016, 12:56:38 AM

" Bino's got hit quite hard in 2.2 so it will no longer be an integral part of poison caster builds. If the resulting price drop is large enough, it might be worth picking up just for the raw stats (highest crit roll on a dagger ingame). Since the life regen part got completely destroyed you will be just as fine with a rare dagger that has similar stats. The new skilltree doesn't work with VP that well anymore, so you should only get it if you feel that it is absolutely necessary. Acuity play a big role if you want to push for lvl 96+, but even then they are more of an QoL feature (no more mana pot spamming + don't need to watch out for reflect anymore). Without Acuity you probably need to replace Blasphemy with a Herald and put Enfeeble into a CwDt setup. If you don't have a 6L for PcoC, using HoT with a CoH Assassin's Mark setup can work really nice aswell. " DH is BiS regardless of the APS of your Dagger (especially if you consider that most axes/maces aren't much faster anyway), since the 30% from unholy might is really huge. " I just made some calculations: After the huge nerf to crit multi on gear, ICD actually becomes a worthwhile support gem again. DPS wise it is the best choice from the remaining options. Edit: ICD beats FA now and comes into the main 6L setup. If you dont use PCoC, FA is should be your replacement choice.
