[2.2] GGprime's Savage: Turn YOUR 2h build into an endgame cleaner

Cool, yeah I can tell it would work in those burst situations to heal back up. Like taking a hit from Voll or something.

I should be doing the ascendancy for cruel soon so I'll be able to test it out anyways.

If I had a 5link Hezmana's bloodlust I would definitively try out HoA+hatred+arctic armor. Or like you said, get lucky with a helm enchant.

Kind of clueless where to go now in terms of defense. I'm thinking I might go the dodge route. I'm either just going to get the armour+5 endurance charges or go the evasion route...and probably still get the 5 endurance charges, they still seem just good combined with basalt. I'm using a basalt right now and it's really nice. Not sure on whether the granite or jade/stibite (stib if I go evasion). Maybe another basalt would just be better.

Don't have the currency yet to pick up the good unique flasks (playing perandus HC)

Was also thinking Cloak of Flames/lightning coil/belly would probably be not bad either besides Kaoms. Damage conversion for more mitigation, and CoF+arctic armor if you can run that seems good too with acro.

Liking everything so far! Phase acro and acro has just been really good and once I get cloaked in savagery, I can see things being tied together really nicely as long as I have the mitigation/the health to not get 1shot if I get hit.

Yo~~~ Bro I have same idea!!

Cloaked in Savagery + Vaal Pact + Phase Acrobatics !!!!!
This combo is very OP!!

I play oro flicker with 7k life. Here is my video!

I am thinking CI + Cloaked in Savagery + Vaal Pact + GR atm

Is it possible? 100% life steal all the time :D

I don't think Cloaked in Savagery works with CI, the tooltip says "A hit that removes atleast 20% of Maximum Life is a Savage Hit".

Do you think Vaal pact is really necessary? I just hate having no regen but yeah good shit man.

The alternative to Vaal Pact would be going crit with Atziri's Acuity for gloves, but getting huge crit + life in a marauder start is difficult to say the least. There's also the cost of the acuities...

Also requires accuracy, a weapon with high local crit chance. It is not impossible, the build I play for example runs 360iir/120iiq, you could skip all that and invest into accuracy, crit and crit multiplier but at that point you could also just go for some coc build.

Hi there mate ! I am trying this build (I am lvl 60 so will start the build in a day or two) but with legacy lightning coil and devoto's devotion as the only difference (some minor points in the tree might be different too due to preference) .

I was pretty impressed with the twinned core runs and all that stuff . Would you say this build is pretty solid and hard to die or that you die a lot of the times and is a bit inconsistent due to prone to 1 shots ? Do you think my alterations to the build may damage it ? Thanks a bunch and loved the videos !

I'm playing 2h builds since launch of poe and this is by far the safest 2h build I ever played. Lightning coil will prolly give you more cloaked in savage procs because of the lower health pool, just make sure to check nemesis enemies for "volatile mods", those might 1shot you.
The fights in the videos are only extreme showcases of what the build is capable to do, in other t15 maps I usually do not drop below 50% health.

Cool stuff, thanks for the tip.
I believe you honestly, the videos might certainly showcase the power of this build. I find it very interesting because everybody seemed to forget Cloaked in Savagery in favor of Aspect of Carnage even though CiS is much more fun and reliable. Will try it and optimize it to my best , will come with feedback in a couple of days . Thanks for the awesome idea !

May I ask why you take physical dmg nodes instead of life nodes at the start of the tree?
