[2.5] Tempada's Dreamfeather Lightning Flurry Raider: Acro, Alpha's/Blood Dance/QotF, 200k+ DPS

I followed your guide for some days, now I'm currently at lvl 87.

I'm using herald of ice: I think the three point investment is really worth it if you can sustain the mana cost. With a 5 link and lvl 5 clarity I don't have any problem, but I don't really know if adding a 6 gem (in my case WED) will be problematic.

I have now something like 24.5k tooltip dps, but my gems are not fully leveled. I'm using a 5 link with Cleave + Added Light + Added Cold + Multistrike + faster attacks. Replacing Multi with WED I have more dps, but with multi I have more fun :). Actually I can already clear high level maps.

The survivability is good, altough I miss life on both rings and on gloves. I have 4.1k life unreserved, but I don't really have many problems. The most serious issues are some exiles (like the minions one).

This are my gear and my tree:



Seeing you don't have one, I've recorded a short video of me clearing a Gorge map with this build

Thanks for the build, it looks like a ton of fun and I'm gathering the ingredients. I'm wondering how much I should care about the (15–30 to 35–50) Physical Damage stat on the sword. Is this SO elemental that we don't care about phys or does this scale relevantly?

Thanks so much for this! Your gear looks great too (thunderfist, that legacy amulet, and a sweet topaz ring).

Yes, I should mention on the first page that Multistrike makes a world of difference. I used to play without it and used Life Leech instead, but it was nowhere near as fun, plus the Life Leech gem is overkill outside of reflect maps (and even then it's only useful once you surpass a certain damage threshold).

Thanks for your interest :) The physical stat on the sword doesn't matter much, although it will creep up slightly as you gain more evasion. I would focus on attack speed (max 2 aps per sword), then buy the highest damage sword you can afford at that bracket.

Video section added!

I finally created my own video for the build, so that's now on the front page along with Jack89's Gorge run.

Thanks. Would you also prioritize a near 200 bonus on the sword's added evasion stat ahead of phys damage?

Cool video. Frenetic! Wings are a nice touch with this build's turbo-leapy playstyle.

I wish GGG would vary or at least alternate the sword cleave animation. I feel like her one arm must be on fire. XD

My inclination is to go with a higher physical damage because the evasion roll on Dreamfeather has such a small range. It shouldn't matter much either way.

Haha, I thought so too.

My, I remember this build before it was, well, a build :D

Congratulations!

Super fun looking build and grats on build of the week! How do you feel this would do in pvp? What are your thoughts on going for some more crit chance?

I've been using this on pvp :D, but I've only been killing those toons that are weak to fast attacking melee. Against those that use Explosive Arrow, Poison Arrow, Cyclone are meh....

Level 86 atm. Here are my gear:



I switch to Dual Strike for PvP. And then switch cleave for Blood Magic (bec I can't leech enough mana). Not sure about Added cold vs Cold Pen though. Also I went with cold damage spec, maybe lightning shock would be better.

@Tempada, gz for the BotW!
