[2.6] CRIT HoWA BF/ST Raider [13k ES, 60k BF/265k GMP ST DPS, Stun-immune] [4 sec Chayula kill]

Thanks for the build, Invalesco! I usually play life-based Cyclone Marauder (Ngamahu's Flame + Xoph's Blood), but this league wanted to try Blade Flurry since the skill animation really appeals to me.

So far I reached level 86, got all ascendancy points and am in the process of improving my gear. I intend to min-max this as much as possible during the league.

Map bosses die really fast, especially with Vinktar + Oak. I feel that AoE is a bit lackluster (but then I'm used to full screen clears, hehe), but I intend to get Dying Sun soon for QoL and replace The Wise Oak. Maybe even spec into a couple AoE nodes on the tree? Not sure yet.

I only died twice when getting to maps (both times to chaos damage/poison), so this build is definitely HC-viable! Just gotta be more careful and maybe get Atziri's Promise for chaos mitigation before you switch to CI. As long as you don't do anything reckless, the build feels very safe. Uber Izaro was a bit of a problem, but I just think I'm terribe at lab, DPS-wise it was totally fine.

Thanks, man! I'm hoping to see another build from you next league.

Thanks for the build. I'm sitting at about 80k with GMP in hideout. I got lucky on a helm enchant, I landed the decel speed 30% enchant. My god. Spectral throw now clears two screens and boss fights are much better (weapon throws about twice as far and hangs out even longer). It's not longer a melee build when 1v1. With power charges and 7 frenzy charges my slower proj is about 200k. My int is around 1100 but it may drop a bit as I move some nodes around. I managed to cap my res just barely and got sick of searching for accuracy gloves - tried out shapers touch. They give me the same ES as 210es gloves and my chance to hit went from 89 to 96. I can now drop some accuracy nodes on the tree and get some multiplier nodes. My crit multi is about 290, I'd like to get it to 375 and then I think I can call this build finished.

Very strong, very tanky. Made it to level 90 in about 4 days simply because I never died thanks to vaal pact. Hell I was running dried lake in merciless with about 1.5k life until I hit level 69.

Not sure how to link my gear but feel free to check it out, my character is public. Any recommendations would be great.

For jewels I went mostly with attack speed. Now that I have a billion frenzy charges I might drop those as they seem quite unnecessary. Crit multi + lightning damage + all res would be better. All res is the best thing ever on jewels. It's usually a very cheap mod and makes gearing much easier!

so i bought all items, (crafted helmet myself, sux that slamed only 20 int but got nice ES)




belt and rings are just a placeholders until i get lvl 80 for crystal and opals


However i don't know but im attacking mega slow, its only 3.12 atk/sec
I feel like i gonna fall asleep while im throwing spectrals. Should i get 3 AS mod jewels or what i could do?

My ATK speed in hideout is abysmal. I went for one triple attack speed jewel and also am up to 7 frenzy charges. The frenzy charges make this thing a beast and they fill up almost instantly! Drop your dying sun for a silver flask. That will make life much better.

How you have 80k DPS in HO? I have similar gear and tree to yours and my hideout DPS is only 30k..

Can someone please explain what gives damage to this build? I am playing HOWA ranger and it feels incredibly weak. Is there some specific unique that you need to get or the INT has to be at certain number? What am I missing here. I have 680 int atm

Thank you
I'm just trying out this build. Can you post your tree? Thanks :)

You're going to need 1000+ Int to be relevant in tier 10+ maps.
