[2.5] "The Kärcher" Lightning Strike Deadeye. Extreme Clear Speed. 75%/74% Dodge A/S

UPDATE:

For more survivability I added fortify on whirling blades because the amount of phys from minotaur is too much. I'd also suggest people to lv an additional inc duration to switch out BM for bosses only. My curse on hit is now 3linked (took out faster atk). Other than that you should be fine for that fight. Just attack and whirl away and every so often whirl into a mob to keep your fort.

P.S.

The falling boulders of doom rek you so be extra sure you have fort up! Deathless is possible.

Looking for a LS build. Is this one HC viable? Relatively new to the game, and haven't tried an evasion based char so I'm a little bit skeptical about survivability. I won't be duel wielding but rather be using a dagger/shield combo so my tree is slightly different than yours, but overall same concept.

Thank you,

Elitejt

Survivability is great with high Dodge A/S but I can't consider this build HC viable. Evasion/Dodge are good defensive mechanism, but not bullet proof imo. Maybe taking another route for really high life leech and get a higher life pool, but still, I'm not comfortable saying that this build could be HC viable (truth is I never played HC with this build or any other).

Hi there, enjoying the build so far, reminds me of a torando shot character; just melee.

Anyway, I've been experimenting with different curse on hit setups and found the most effective while including the one with the least drawbacks would be HoI-CoH-ASS. This setup provides a constant 3 power charges with only a 2k tooltip dps loss. Although the 3 powercharges make up for the minimal 2k damage loss. This setup (ran on a dagger) allows us to get near or at crit cap.




Another small issue I'm currently coming across is the lack of life pool. I'm still a low level (78) although I've noticed that we are only picking up crit and physical damage nodes. I may deviate from that final setup and include some jewel sockets since those provide quite a large sum of life pools. I have included a small CWDT setup just to prevent being completely one shot. CWDT-IC then some random spells to fill the gaps.

I got all those changes waiting to be tested, I think that all be worthy. Using HoI for curse spread seems the right choice, I run that CoH configuration on another char and works great.

Jewels are the only way to get some more life, and I think that will be necessary for completing all tiers in Atlas. About CWDT+IC, I need to test it but sounds good too.

Currently at level 93: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/DerekLeStrange/characters
No need to lose out on HoA for HoT cos you can just spec into a jewel and be fine
I got one that has
16% inc phys dmg
7% max life
11%increase crit multi. I tend to think that playing this character is just keeping distance is all.
I can now confirm that you can do the guardians with this build though you will find bits of trouble if you don't have a lil bit of reaction speed for some. I stuck with this build and with the addition of
21/20 gems it became a tad easier to everything end game (that is unless you lag yourself to death).
My items are as follows:

I want to switch my leather belt for a Rustic Sash so i can get to 94(5).4k dmg as to my current 89.9k. Currently trying to craft a contempt onto a steel ring for maxing myself on high phys. At level 94 you could spec into another jewel that's practically the same as the other or switch out crit multi with atk speed or any other thing that suits your fancy. I feel that 4linking whirling blades is a safe option next to using IC. Vaal Haste is placed in stead of finding a way to add war C totem.

I don't really understand what you mean. I'm not using herald of thunder.

I'm thinking this skill tree would suit end game better. You might even be able to reach a comfortable 5k life with 3 jewel sockets, while sacrificing a very small amount of damage.

You could also spec into vaal pact, although I believe that would negate the life regen effect from binos. It could be a win win or a win lose situation. I haven't decided yet.

Why not spec into vitality void instead? Save a point that way while keeping regen for a win win. Revenge of the hunted is also an option as well. Though in theory your way should work well. You can reach 5k+ easily by not using (at 94 you can spec into a 2nd jewel but not many people like going that far use my tree as ex. Currently have my passive on atk speed)

PS
I didn't read your post correctly my bad. (still possible to do deathless guardians though unsure about shaper. Doing that maybe next week)
