Would going acrobatics with Champion or Gladiator even make sense ?
Sorry for the noob questions.

I dont really see much reason to play this as duelist, which ascendancy would you want to play?

I had one suggestion, you use reduced mana on whirling blades but it's actually much faster to use blood magic. The cost is dirt cheap even still and you can leech it back no problem. It also makes moving around much faster since you can spam without worrying about mana!

Would have liked Champion.
I thought the damage increase from Champion didn't look too bad.
Or the bleed from Gladiator.
But someone told me they don't synergize well with this build and would be way less effective.

What would drop if you used 5L belly ?

Not an expert on this build but I would imagine critical strikes. Lightning penetration is too good imho - it makes your attacks efficient vs. the toughest mobs so imho it is a must-have gem.

Propably crit strikes.

Well the damage increases are really mediocre compared to raider, you will also be a good bit slower and not have the status immunity. The only thing you rly gain is 100% uptime fortify which is pretty nice... but you can allrdy get it pretty often with whirling blades so i would not recommend it. About bleed: Bleed is only based on physical damage, this build does 99+% elemental damage.

Yeah matter of preference, i kinda like not having to wory about loosing life when whirling long ways due to vaal pact, and the mana cost of 10 is really low, its nearly sustained by mana regen. In no regen maps blood magic would be better for sure though, just use what you feel is better for you, both work fine.

How would this build compare to a Hand of Wisdom and Action ST char?

Just looking for some insight on how I'm doing gear wise. Lvl. 84, still need Uber Lab, have killed normal Atziri and cleared Xoph and Tul breaches. Haven't decided what I'm going to socket into the rapier.

Strong / fun build.


what should I add into it ? adds cold damage ? crit multi or % WED?
Thanks

Could you please look at my Equip and skilltree?

I think im missing something.

Im not near your damage.

Spectral throw is at:

6252 dmg and only 76-1244 Lightning damage. Im missing 5000 Lightningdamage compared to you and i dont know why. My equip seems fine. Just a 5L but i dont think, thats this big damage difference.
