Duelist Builds List - Post your Build link here

For now almost two years I am maintaining the Duellist Buildlist and for nearly a year the Scion and Shadow Lists aswell. But sadly my time has come. My personal life demands more and more time. Thus far that I don't see me able to maintain the lists properly anymore. I don't even have time to play PoE at all.

As hard as it may be, but I need to resign my duty. This is now a call for others to step up. I need someone who takes over my Lists. As I am not able to maintain then any longer.

If you are willed enough to serve our community and you want to take over one or all lists, please PM me and I guide you through the process.

I'll try to look into the forum every once in a while.


For those whose Builds are not added yet, I am sorry. If I find the time I'll do so.

TL;DR

I resign my duty. I need some brave soul to take care over the build lists.




###

I decided to let the 3.1 Builds in the list. As far as I have time I'll update the list accordingly.

###

Hello Exiles, my name is Bison.
I have the honour to take care of the Duellist Buildlist.
If you have any suggestions, let me know! Every feedback is very welcome.
You maybe want to know what I'am playing this league?

Newcomers, check out the 3rd post here for some tips & tricks! :)



This is a list thread of all up-to-date duelist guides. ibugsy came up with the original idea with his witch builds list, which was later continued by Bada_Bing.
KargothBG maintained the build lists for Duellist, Marauder and Templar. I have taken over the responsibility for the Duellist. I want to thank KargothBG for his longterm dedication and I will make sure that his legacy will continue. :)

What is needed to be featured in this list?

Your build/guide should contain more then your gear and a skill tree. A bit more detail would be nice. If possible a leveling section would highly appreciated (for our beginners).
I will not contain any pure theory crafted builds, every build should at least made it to maps.


How do I submit my Build?
Just post it in the thread. I will appreciate if you write a few words about it too.
Please do not send me a PM with your build, this will go out of hand with 3 Build Lists. :)


NEW ADDITION: I will only contain properly named builds.

To keep things clear and easy, I won't add "clickbaity" parts to the list.


Note: Every build creator can name it guide as he wants. I just won't add those things anymore to the list or at least alter it accordingly!

Featured Builds

Featured Builds will be my personal favorites and recommendations. This means I played them and can approve them. This is mostly for newer players who maybe need an idea what to play.

Generic: [3.0] Unstoppable Gladiator 78% Max Block/Spells (Outdated)

This is mas' Block build, extremely solid and relativly cheap. You can cruise nearly the entire game with this. Up to Tier 15 with ease. T16 is possible.
Actually the build is not updated for 3.1 yet, while it should still work you may need to adjust the tree a bit. I will keep this as a Featured build, just because I loved this build so much.

Cyclone: [3.3] For Slayer - Ngamahu Cyclone Build (Uber Lab Runner, End Game Viable)

Kira's Ngamahu Cyclone Slayer, a very cheap league starter build that can do end-game content with further investment to the gears.

You can start Uber Lab farming with just a 5L chest and Ngamahu's Flame!

Neversink's Lootfilter
This is my personal favorite lootfilter. I use this since it very first release.

Antnee's Classy Item Filter for Distinguished Exiles
Antnee's lootfilter is also a great one to use.

Other filters can be found here. There you can prewatch many of the lootfilters.

Welcome + great work updating the list. Readability of the list improved a lot imo.

Thank you, but its not finished yet. I want to add some more tags to it with patch and Ascendancy class. Maybe like Bockris some sort of Endgame content too, but I don't know yet if this weren't too much.

added

[2.3] Molten Strike - Mjölnir: TheBockwursts Aegis Mjölner Double Arc Gladiator

edit: If the color scheme is too heavy please tell me. I'll try to make it look comfortable as possible.

99% of the builds have the patch version included in brackets in their title. Therefore you may forego typing that info yourself. Copy/pasting the build title is enough to capture that info.

@Bada_Bing you're right, this information should be contained in the guides/builds itselfs. After some thoughts about this, that would be too much. Same goes for other Tags like [HC] or similar.

At least I still want to encourage people to look into the builds :D

@Kargoth I'm very glad you like it! :)

edit:

I've removed the Patch-Tag as suggested.
