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

Because the tree already misses alot of damage otherwise and warrior's blood would be a wasted node since vaal pact = no regeneration.

Just an update : The build is quite good until this moment, just started using disfavour now and dps + tankiness is insane .

You literally facetank (and you will have to) the strongest bosses in the game with this build with no fear of dying , plus it's pretty good against lag , as you just have to be standing still attacking for the leech in most bosses . Also you can use cyclone if you don't favor getting stunned . All in all , definitly my favourite two handed iteration to this point .

I truly think this is hidden combo in the game right now, the only maps you can have some problems are the 'no leech' and even some of those are extremely easy with a Cyclone + Life gain on hit gem combo .
Also I make use of all the movement speed I can with Cyclone, that means an Onslaught flask + The Retch belt + Devoto's Devotion and Vaal Haste .

I can see this being pretty good in hardcore too with some adjustments, it's strangely hard to die.

Will see how it handles the higher maps and update on it , cheers !

Can I ask a stupid question?

Why acrobatics? Couldn't you just build less armour and have more or less the same effect?

I apologize if this is a dumb question but going to this side of the tree on the marauder is a new experience for me.

Cheers

It would also make you take huge dmg spikes, but way too constantly.
You don't want to get hit twice by a very high hit in between every attack animation or action and acro + the evasion you get from blind make sure nothing will hit you twice in a row before you do your next attack.

Another reason is vaal pact.
You already travel into that direction to get vp and you do not really profit from all those other great liferegn nodes on the left side of the tree. Additionally you get that huge amount of jewels which are superior to any nodes if you have the budget.

hi. thank you for great build. few questions:
1)what do you think about creating "crit version" of this build using atziri's acuity? is it possible w/o losing a lot of life nodes?
2)do you take "unwavering stance" passive point while use EQ?
3)you have 0.4 phys damage leech life/mana on tree, do you have more leech on items? is there any sense to take "vitality void"?

Hello,
1. I use legacy iir/iiq gear so it should be possible to turn this into a crit build since you can replace iir/iiq for accuracy/cc/cm. There are quite a few good crit nodes around the pathing too, you also do not need to get the 240% HP unless you really want to do core maps. I'd say 6k health is enough for everything but core.
2. I do not use unwavering stance because I want the additional chance to evade. You do not need US with EQ anyway, you might get stunned but aftershock will always get you back to full health while being stunned.
3. For EQ mana is less of an issue than for cyclone, the only thing that supports some mana is vinktar and the one passive from the tree. You can master craft some leech on your gloves but you won't need it.
You can remove aura/enfeeble from your setup and replace it by cwdt+enfeeble, the only reason I manage to sustain mana with 3 auras up is because of enlighten lvl 4, something you prolly do not get until the end of a league.

Wow. I had a thought about doing this but had no idea it was so powerful. This is going to be even crazier in 2.3 with the redux of % for savage hit on Cloaked in Savagery. And in 2.3, you can get Aspect of Carnage too! I am going to try this....

2H sword possible?

I play 2H cyclone and might switch to vaal pact but i don't want to rely on Cloaked in Savagery.
I have around 7% lifeleech with Bloodrage on and i think my dps might be enough to sustain without Cloaked in Savagery (180k tooltip cyclone without flasks, charges and onslaught). I have 6k5 life, I wonder if it's enough to avoid being one shoted, also i'm running fortify.

Did you do uber atziri with this build ?

Why do you level up blade vortex at all? What makes a level 12 blade vortex better than a level 1 if you are only using it for blind?

sorry about these dumb questions haha
