How much accuracy on gear would you advise, would like 800 be enough?

i also do fine with about 800, should be sufficient

@Viperial7
Well, your pathing is weird, gear is ok, but you didnt't pick up elemental overload, your jewels suck (well, it is a temp league, so it is hard to get really good 4 mod jewels, but those are a big source of dps), yeah that is about it

@rectis and @Viperial7
this is a build designed for std, legacy vinktars is incredibly OP, if you don't have 100% vinktar uptime, it is kinda meh, also pathing to vaal pact like rectis proves to be extremely inefficient.

harsh reality, even if you can get this belt in temp leagues...this build will be still nowhere as OP as in std.

btw Dakoos, this build is so great and my vinktar tripled in value...life is good.

oh right guess I should save this character for std after the league. yeah the jewels are shit couldnt find any decent ones and if i did the pricing was absolutely bs :(

lol yeah, i still have a couple in the stash that i bought for 2 exa during talisman.

I replaced enlighten in helm with herald of ice for fun explosions and a little more damage.

Build Update

• Now using a second curse! (either "Whispers of Doom" or +1 Curse amulet)
• Replaced Vengeance + ECoMS with Curse on Hit + Conductivity
• Picked up Conduit to generate Endurance charges for Immortal Call (for bleed)

This change keeps our life, damage, and movement speed about the same but adds a second curse into the mix, Conductivity! This of course significantly increases our actual DPS, both directly through attacks and indirectly through The Retch (as we do more lightning damage, we leech more life).

If you do not have a +1 Daresso's (most people) then spend a few points to get Whispers of Doom near the Witch area. We are already close by, so it is a minimal investment.

We are applying Conductivity through Curse on Hit on our Flicker strike. As described in one of my recent posts, we are already using Flicker Strike every 5 seconds to apply bleed and activate Fortify. It only makes sense to take advantage of this to also apply a curse, saving mana reservation costs of Blasphemy.

Feedback welcome! Thanks to all who have contacted me in game or on the forums. I'm glad you're enjoying the build.

Your build looks very interesting. I am planning to rebuild my duelist entirely to try yours. I am level 94 now and already have the Retch and taste of hate.

I only have about leftover 30ex budget to get non-legacy kaom, vinktar, dying sun and 6L atziri disfavour.

Since your character is level 100, which of the 6 recommended passive skill tree should i drop?

With the non-legacy items, how much drop in life and dps are we looking at?

I would drop the DPS nodes near the Mara start area.

You'll lose about 1500 life without legacy kaoms. The loss from non legacy Vinktar is hard to measure, but you'll be ok. Just make sure you spend the 5-6 points to get Vaal Pact.

You may opt to not get Whispers of Doom for dual curse.

did you corrupt the amu yourself or buy 1

Both actually. I corrupted one, sold it because I thought I wanted to go CI, then bought another when I changed my mind and switched back to life.

Bad news

spent 9ex on this 5-linked axe and another 20ex to 6link it. :/

Gonna farm for more currency before i can try this build. no budget now
