[2.6] Varunastra Cleave Slayer. Starting Legacy league couldn't have been easier.

Hey sorry i didn't know that was a thing lol! here's my gear, i dunno how to link passive tree, but i made it public so u should see it. Thanks!

What you can improve is to get a Witchfire Brew flask. Vulnerability will increase your damage by a lot, and also increase poison + bleeding damage, plus smoke screen is a nice layer of defense, I personally use a witchfire even without the Voidheart. Voidheart is a very good complement for the build, even with 40% chance to bleed + poison, with about 0.10 attack speed you will be able to make a good use out of it.

Here is how your tree should be, just a few respec to get Dirty Technique, VERY strong cluster to pair up with Voidheart. You can get there by the time you are level 90.

Thanks, ive been using witchfire brew, and i can see a nice dps bump on bosses, i'm on 5.3k life tho, ive been trying hard to get more but looks like 5.5- 5.6 is where i will end up even at lvl 91. Anyway to boost 6k+?

You can try a 95+ life roll Starkonja as it bring about the same dps boost, but no movespeed.

Please have a look over my character (linked at bottom). Where would you go next with this build? Should I save up for a Retch or transition over to a 6L?

I was thinking of improving my ring(s) to include more intellect/life/physical damage so I can spec out of cloth gloves. What are your thoughts on Perseverance as a transition belt? Is having Onslaught up 100% of the time worth it over the ascendancy 10 second buff from killing a rare enemy? Or should I just save my currency for something else?

Perseverance is not worth going for when you can have such a good amount of life and resist on a rare belt.
I think you need to upgrade your ring, preferably your mana ring. One 30 to 40 int ring will solve all your int problem. Then you can get better gloves. Best gloves would be spiked gloves but good ones are hard to come by. You can save your currentcy for a 6l or steel ring, or voidheart if you wanted to spec into poison. However I only recommend voidheart as the last priority, only after you have gotten yourself a 6l astral.

The retch is an interesting item, especially synergized with Slayer ascendancy Endless Hunger. If you truly want to ultilize this item however check out the retch builds that is also using Slayer to understand the mechanic better.

Hey sorry for too many questions, i just did t15 twinned no problem with the build, im really happy, and it seems that conc effect is good enough aoe to clear maps unless map has -area mod. One thing came to my mind was using a starforge with kaoms, what do you think, would the build still work?

Starforge + Kaom will turn it into a completely different build, however perfectly viable. Then you will be best with bleed+poison, taking Resolute Technique, using Voidheart. Cleave is now a very good t1 melee skill after having the jewel to give free fortify. You will get a very big aoe increase with SF as well, making conc effect that much more comfortable to play with. Definitely worth a try if provided you have the gear.

The only gripe of Cleave, as with all other melee namelock multi strike skills will have an animation lock, giving you a harder time against Shaper, Uber atziri and such.

Thanks for answering , I just really want this build to do the best possible lol, Ci builds are so expensive this league, so i thought i might keep investing in this build more. But i guess melee does have limits.

I'm on my phone righr now, as soon as i get to my pc i will post my variation of this build, got awesome resaults, killed hydra, doing t15-16 is possible with dual varunastras.
