Hi, nice build, kinda reminiscent of my BoR FB max block cyclone build, but i have some questions.
What was your dps in Colosseum video. I'm sitting at 22k atm, and find some bosses/tanky rares hard to kill quickly. Also what about your armour, I'm at around 7k, isn't it a bit too low for melee char. I guess i can get 1shot with unlucky crit. Do you die often in high tier maps? Can you kill wasteland boss, or he heals too much?

Hey man,

Just stopping by to say that I found your guide while starting my EQ Champion with Marohi Erqi and stumbled upon this build by accident.

I loved the idea and I have to say I'm glad I changed my passive skills to switch for it (luckily I was still early in my tree and the base is kinda similar). I've really been enjoying playing it. I'm now lvl 81 and it feels very fucking strong and fun at the same time. What really sold it to me is being both EQ and still having insane movespeed through whirl blades.

I farmed very easily with just Varunastra and BoR in T7 and I'm now facetanking everything in T10 with Aegis Aurora. Heck even Temporal Chains and Reflect on map don't scare me (switching AoE for Phys2L in Phys reflect maps and they're a breeze).


If I could suggest one thing though, I would have loved some leveling tip in your guide. I myself level'd with 2-handed but since you end up putting quite a lot in %block/1h damage/shield damage, it gets "harder" (still wrecking everything with proper Uniques though) by lvl 50 until you get to lvl 64 for Varunastra (where you basically triple your DPS).

Marohi Erqi now are much cheaper so someone could by one by lvl 57 I guess. So if someone's reading this and wondering :

Buy (in order) : Limbsplit (lvl 13) -> Reaper's Pursuit (lvl 33) -> The Blood Reaper (lvl 45) -> Marohi Erqi (lvl 57).
You can easily sell them back for what you bought them once you switch to the next one (they cost between 1 alch and 1c so definitely affordable, esp. since you get your money back), and they enough for you to one-shot everything during leveling.

I would also suggest buying a

that helps with mana issues for up to lvl 45~ (I ended up having mana issues at that point because I was using a 6L through Tabula Rasa. Shouldn't be a problem with a 3/4L.)

I leveled purely 1-handed and it is super ok. Few cheap uniques and after lvl 40-45 high dps cheap rare did the trick. Facetanked everything except cruel Izaro at level 57. Was using perandus shield till I changed to aegis.

I really enjoyed the build and felt so strong... that I opened unidentified stronbox on top of huge blue pack corpses. Yeah.. GG corpse explosion.

I almost never reroll the same build when I die but already bought another Sword + BoR. Aegis will be tough tho as I'm broke :D

Thanks for the build.
