[3.1] RAIDER Tanky Crit Reave/Blade Flurry Dagger/Claw AR+EV+Block NO MIRRORED GEAR

So is this build not viable for HC at all? I started it and didnt even think about it. How would you go about making it HC viable?

Hello there, just begining the game and i have some questions :

What are the differences between claw build and dagger build ?
What are the pro/con of those 2 builds ?
How many chaos / exalt do this build cost to be effective ?

I just saw a stream using this skill and seem very fun, and very fast clearing.

It is, you can just use a belly of the beast for more life.

The claw one is more effective as it has more skill points to use. The dagger build enables you to use Bino's Kitchen Knife, which is a really nice unique dagger.
Aside the 2 things I described in the previous sentence, the pros/cons are the same.
1 exalt is enough to make the build work.

How would Iron Reflexes work with this build, would it be worth the 4 points or would the damage reduction gained be so small that you'd still be better off with evasion?

You'd have a lot of armour, with the gear I listed I'd have around 15k I think. No evasion though, but it's your choice :)

Is it posible to do top tier maps and atziris with this build ? .

Yes, if you're an experienced player and don't expect to facetank everything.

I'm running through hc with this build and just got to maps. I started mostly defensive, taking all the life and shield nodes, and my dps was really lacking because I was using grace as well. I just changed over to hatred and it seems to work out well, especially after you get your lioneye's up. I have about 10k dps now, with a 188pdps claw. I use reckoning + riposte with blind and ecom, none of the vaal gems yet. My other 4L is inc duration-tempest shield-blood rage- vaal reave/grace when I get one of those. And I still have an open 4L, any suggestions, maybe a curse? My two other skills are ice golem with minion life and minion resists and wb with faster attacks and blood magic. My 5L is Reave - multistrike - faster attacks - fortify and melee phys. In HC you can't go without fortify, especially if your not running grace. Thanks for the build its very solid!

I was a fan of Oosband's outdated build mentioned earlier and I like this one very much too. I guess I am heavy Reave fan. Running it on Standard Talisman and it is working really well. I am kinda poor so do not even have a 5-link. Even with 4-link my damage and clearspeed is satisfactory. Also have not decided what to go for dagger or claw so my passive tree works with both (at least for now).





Thanks for the build!
