[2.6] CI Best Scourge ClawFlurry, Up to 134+ Mill DPS,Uber/Shaper/Guardians, Budget Version Inc.

Hi all, will not be playing much anymore this league (got 36/40) but this is my result. Obviously some items could and can be better but its matter of grinding:



***I tried to make chest 3G1R2B but failed so I stuck with crit gem(tried swapping to added chaos 20/20 but felt no difference).

P.S. I have Hubris Helmet 350+ES 40% Blade Flurry Damage and using it whenever I want. I own decent defensive gloves 140+ES with phy dmg, 40+/40+/40+ res but I'm capped anyway vs Ele unless it's T16 map (then I swap them).

Jewels: Phy,Phy Claws, Accu, Claw speed, Crit Multi or Resistances - all GG 4 stats and very decent.

FEEDBACK: Build lacks speed early game and it shouldn't be first league character. Extremely slow to progress until you can actually use specific items (like Scourge). Most of the times you will suffer from lack of ES if you aim for damages so it's better to use a shield with huge ES rather than 2x claws before having 15-20ex+ gear. Even with proper playstyle I couldn't do Shaper yet other builds I've done in the past I managed to achieve this, feels like I lack burst speed - possible due to skill nerf in 2.6.
Items required for this build to do ALL content worth quite a lot and there are much cheaper builds who can do it all (like kill Shaper, burst guardians in a minute or less). Yes you can do it with Blade Flurry but it isn't worth investment and time UNLESS you are fan of this skill and have plenty of time to spend on all items required. However, you will shatter anything below T14 and T15 should look like walking a park and overall playstyle is very enjoyable once build starts to get going.
ADVISE: Use Brinerot Flag Shield + Rallying Cry gem in X (second) hand slot as its easy power charge generator in-before boss fights. Shield gives 2 pcharges once warcry gem is casted (so we do it 3 times) + Culling Strike setup to finish off T16 Guardians or anything you struggle with (essences in high tier can be .... too).

Hey dude, 2 questions. For some reason I am almost done with your build and I have 5k tooltip dps.. O_O ????!

And another question - Do you even use blood rage?
Why you don't use it on shaper video.. would be faster kill? Or you just forgot about it>?

The tooltip don't display the DPS, it displays the average hit damage. Check for dps math http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Blade_Flurry

Hi bro
I have scourge and set item CI. I want play with class duelist. Can u help build tree and subclass for duelist ?
Thank.

Maybe the fourth reply in this thread will get a reply..

Where can I possibly get more damage? I'm level 90 and struggling to do Minotaur even.

Ok what about blood rage?
He doesn't use it, when it gives frenzy charges and so much more attack speed.. I don't get it..?

Can someone please explain the bogus DPS on this thread... when i pop my flasks and buffs (not enough mana to use Herald of ash even with Enlighten support) i have seen at best about 6000dps.

where are you viewing this million DPS hit from?

and even with almost all the gear now... i am struggling to do tier 7-8 maps.


is there an engine i can input my character into and have it churn out where the defects are? i feel the game is lacking support of this kind. Its very easy for you to plug in a perfect character with your system... but what about the general public? we don't have such resources..


at the minute i am using one scourge and one Rive. the minions are dying as fast as they appear so i don't see the need to sink another exalt into a second scourge. id rather have the bleed effect from Rive coupled with one scourge.

The next two big investments i need to make are a 6L Vaal Regalia. still using a decent 5L one. and the unique jewel.

But upon receiving these two items i don't see how it will change my circumstance any. Apart from putting a 6 exalt hole in my pocket..

Both of your scourges have a really low dps, 240 for the first, 245 for the second. You can get 260+ dps per scourge for a total of 4ex (minus 2ex if you sell the one you're using now).

Abyssus is fine, even really good.

In your 6L you need to replace Increased Critical Strikes Support by Increased Area of effect (while mapping) & Conc. Effect (Bosses).

I'd say to not bother with a blackheart if you can't afford a legacy one. (Personal opinion though). This way you can replace it with either a diamond ring or a steel ring, both with added physical damage.

Here is an example of a "good steel ring" :
Adds 4 to 13 Physical Damage to Attacks
Adds 8 to 14 Physical Damage to Attacks P?
7% increased Attack Speed S1
14% increased Rarity of Items found??
+11% to all Elemental Resistances S3
+1 Mana gained on Kill S3
crafted+41 to maximum Life

Remove the crafted life and put what you need (most likely %es)

You absolutely need to replace that chayula for a dps+es amulet. Get 80% stun avoidance (enchant) on boots to counter stuns.

Gloves are meh, plus lacks of attack speed.

Boots need stun avoidance as said above.

Swap diamond flask with Taste of Hate.

In your tree, respec the "+10 intelligence" under throatseeker and put it in "True strike". Your dps jewels are meh.

Here is an example of two of my jewels and I'd honnestly think both could be better :

14% increased physical damage
14% increased physical damage with claws
9% global crit multiplier
12% increased melee damage

__

15% increased phys damage
4% increased attack speed
6% increased attack speed with claws

And another thing you forgot, where is the 20% quality on your gems ? It's a massive dps boost.

Btw, what's your ES when discipline is on ?

I've completed the whole atlas yesterday except guardians/shaper. I'm gonna farm few T14-15 maps today and try to get some T16 to see how fights are going. (Probably gonna want to level to 91 first thought.)

I'll look towards replacing the scourge claws I have now but I completely ran out of chaos at the time so those were the best I could get.

As for the voidheart ring, I just went based off what was previously said that legacy or not didn't matter, granted I can't tell that well if the bleed or poison is even working efficiently.

Chayula is temporarily until I can get better boot enchants, which is a work in progress.

I looked earlier for gloves with attack speed, accuracy, ES and resist, couldn't find anything. Tried finding a similar pair without the ES and still no luck.

Taste of Hate is when I get another 3ex.

As for the jewels, I read his priority and just went off that. Are you saying that physical damage is better?


6,450 ES with discipline on, and I feel my resists are extremely low. 72% fire, 76% cold, 84% lightning.

That's my personal prefence simply because people keep throwing away jewels when it has %minion dmg mixed with some melee stats (phys dmg, attack speed) simply because they can't think of a build using that.

So it's really hard to find 4 mods jewels including %minion jewel that suits our build. Personally I consider the jewel I linked (14% increased physical damage, 14% increased physical damage with claws, 9% global crit multiplier, 12% increased melee damage) better than any %minion dmg jewel + 2 mods.



This research gives no result. When going down from 3 additional mods to 2, only crap jewels are found.

Need some help on what to upgrade too. Using a pretty weak 6 link but i can't manage to 6L my 800 ES regalia. I'm mapping pretty comfortably but my ES is a little on the low side (6k with discipline). What do you think i could change/upgrade in my build atm? (level 88)

(Yes i vaaled my scourges to get culling strike, i'm an idiot)
