My first time

Thanks for this a build. The best melee build which i played

And a few questions for sure:
1.Any reasons for using a good vaal regalia?
2.Why you don't use curse on hit and some curse (vuln,. temporal chains)?
3. I can't grab 10k ES. Melding cluster gain only ~400ES

Gratz on the Shaper Kill dude!!


1. Lets say you have a 950 ES Vaal Regalia for 30 Exalts.. you gained 600 Base ES over IH, which turns out to around 1500 Extra ES.. The 25% Ele damage reduction you get from IH is far greater than that.

2. Im using Enfeeble with CWDT..

3. Melding cluster with Energy From Within.. and your Shield needs to be 560+ ES.. and look at the Belt section on why a Heavy Belt is better than a Crystal Belt.

Understood!
Do you have ideas how possiible to improve your build? I mean chosing insane a dagger/sword/claws instead varunastra? May be Atziri's Acuity, legacy voidheart?

Also please check my flasks setup. Is it ok?

Can I have the Path of building import code for this build please? I wanna try this build.

Rare Items just place holders. I use path of building for theory craft, what written in the guide is more polished.

Acuity is for non vaal pact builds to get instant leech on crit.. we already have vaal pact.

Doubt any weapon that is not mirror worth can compare to the DPS varunastra can provide, its not like the build lacks damage out side of Guardians and Shaper. And there are plenty of instant boss deletion builds out there.

Get Lion's Roar over Atziri's Promise, 30% More Damage is like your 7th Link

I just switched to this build after playing a life based Duelist/Glad/Blade Flurry. I purchased all my very sub par gear last night (spend maybe 1 EX in total) and am only at 5.7k ES and 10.4k DPS Blade Flurry. Have Disc/Arctic/HoA up on a 5L.

I still need to change some Ascendancy nodes, but will get to that later.

I just completed 2 T15 Abyss maps which were very easy. One of them was curse with vuln/ +monster health/ele reflect/+monster crit and this still handled it easy, much better than my old life based build.

Overall I think you made a very nice build with a very low income threshold. Nice work.

Update:

I'm seriously looking for some insight here. I'm a moron at understanding this game and I usually only play while I'm drinking to relax, so as far as mechanics go I'm pretty clueless. But I swapped my Abyssus helmet for a Devoto's Devotion with the +40% Blade Flurry Damage (got it for 20C, and yes, I was aware of the -10%phys damage but still wanted to test for science, and I love movement speed).

Note: I was at 15K average DPS with Abyssus (over 20k fully buffed). Now I'm only at 6.7K with Devoto's (12K fully buffed). So a little less than 1/2 DPS, but to my inebriated state stuff dies the same. Maybe faster.

Anyways, with the Devoto's this build plays like an entirely different build. Maybe I'm just drunk (probably, yes) but my survive ability has skyrocketed with the attack speed..? I'm guessing here. I would assume a Rat's Nest would be better, but I'm loving that 20% movement speed (instead of the Rat's Nest 10) on top of my 30% on boots on top of the Perk "Art of the Gladiator".

I completed the Abyss maps WAY easier than before. I also just completed the T16 Maze of the Minotaur with mods:
-9% resist
Nemesis
Beyond
Monsters take 36% reduced damage from crits
Invasion boss
60% less curse effect
85% quality
30% rarity
16% pack size

I was unable to complete this with my previous life build. And I only died this time because I was drunk and slow to respond to boss 1 hit tunnel mechanic. I think I still have really crappy gear too. Only a 5L but 20% gems.

Also, I was able to do a T15 Abyss with reflect physical damage (swapped crit strikes with phys to lightning) with 0 deaths:
Two Unique bosses
Nemesis
Beyond
Invasion
60% less recover life/energy
Point Blank
25% less area of effect
101% quality
43% rarity
37% pack size

Current stats with Devoto's (unbuffed in Hideout):
6.7K ES
6.7k DPS with BF
Max Resist obviously
Blood in the Eyes Ascendancy instead of Violent Retaliation (too lazy to run lab again, but I'm liking it anyways).
APS 6.21
91% chance to hit.
57% crit.
105% life leech modifier
3.65% life leech from attacks

So for what it's worth, I'm still loving this build.

TL;DR I'm seriously loving this build with the Devoto's Devotion instead of my Abyssus (as long as the Devoto's has the 40% Blade Flurry enchant (it's way cheaper than getting it on Abbyssus.))

EDIT: because I'm drunk and an idiot, I did the above T16 with a Multistrike socketed, which does nothing for BF (was testing out Lightning Strike on a previous map). So this build can use a 4L to do a T16. Not too bad. BF is at 10k DPS with Melee Physical swapped back in. I'm dumb.

did you try to beat uber atziri?

I'm having some issues leveling. So I equipped all my uniques from past characters to level quickly, and followed the advice to take all the sword damage nodes first. I just hit dried lake normal at level 38. I only have about 700 life and 50 es at this point though. Should I ditch the leveling uniques and purchase some cheap life gear and spec into life nodes? Or purchase some cheap es gear and go on from there?

Use "The Gull" as your helmet, highly recommended. As it gives large amount of Life and ES.

I am currently running Tier 9, 10 maps in SSF with less than 3K ES at lvl 88..

I think you need a weapon upgrade, pick a unique sword with at least 100+ Physical DPS..

If you kill things fast enough, they can't hurt you.
