I am confused how this build workds... Would anyone be so kind as to explain some stuff to me. I am interested in rolling a build like this as Blade Flurry interests me.

So you start leveling as a Scion... Do you grab all the nodes you can until you get your ascendancy and than in which you spend enough points to unlock the starting point of the Duelist? Am I understanding that correctly? If that is how this build works, do you recommend picking up everything in the Scion line first and than make the switch to investing pts into the Duelist?

yes, you start with the scion life cluster or with the path for resistances and continue the pathing until you can use the duelist start

damage on full life + blood rage = doesnt work
you are never on full life

so that gem needs to be swapped - or you need to drop blood rage.
both of which result in about 10% overall dps decrease
next best gem according to pob is maim, and there's not many better options (after that its added fire, meh).

also i dont see how its possible to make this build defensive enough in temp league.
99.9% of players will never afford acuity - right now they are 32ex cheapest pair available.
also a 6L lightning coil is very hard to fit in there given the uniques being used - and its also 10ex minimum as well

its a great build, i found this guide after creating my own and have learned a bit so thanks for posting, but its definitely not possible to be a viable boss farming build for under 20-30ex (and thats the cheap end without acuity - which still might be needed to make it really viable for boss farming)

the defenses on this just arent good enough with a lower budget. which means acuity + lightning coil + 5-10ex steel rings that make up for the resists.
chimera = i routinely get one-shot by chimera adds. on medium rolled map mods. chimera himself is easy of course.
hydra and minotaur = easy as you can just dodge everything.
phoenix = tough but doable. its quite hard to manage the adds that spawn so fast in the late fight, given your conc effect AOE is so small. if you dont kill the adds, they kill you.
shaper = very hard to get dps time in the third phase with any adds and his clone harassing you. you will get one shot.

ive done it all but i stopped doing chimera and shaper on this build.
im using wasp nest claw btw. its the best dps for unique claws especially if you get enough dps time to stack 5 poisons. it also adds LGOH which greatly increases survivability without acuity.
im shooting for a 350+ pdps imperial or gemini claw now, but have blown 600c+ trying to craft one and gotten nothing. gonna just buy one instead. POE crafting sucks as always.

i dont think sword (rapier) version of this build is viable unless you have acuity.
you just wont leech enough, and you really need that LGOH claw to make up for a bit of that non-instant leech.

talking viable in my post of course means boss farming = a build that is safe and easy to boss farm with (shaper/guardians/u-atziri). thats what i built this for and im about to give up on it because i dont have 50ex to dump on it. i can make great boss farming builds that are safe easy to farm with for under 3-5ex and this is definitely not one of them.

if you are in std though this is a great build! :)

BTW for those interested here's my claw build:

Path of Building:


Gear:


A few notes:

Shapers Touch gloves are OP for this build --- they give me:
140.5 life from dex bonus
116 mana which is useful with all that we reserve
56.2% melee physical damage which completely outclasses spiked gloves (20%)
a measly bit of ES (doesnt matter really, but even 1 ES gives 50% stun resist - could possibly go soul tether with this build to make it more defensive), a measly amount of accuracy, and evasion (we dont have allot of INT on this build so the evasion / accuracy bonuses are small)

"Unholy Might" is checked, however in a boss fight this isnt reliable. You arent going to stun the bosses and it wont be up very often (only shortly after killing adds). So realistically this shouldnt be checked. Looses some DPS.

Also blood rage tends to go off in boss fights as you can easily go 10s without adds to kill and refresh it. You could fix this by putting blood rage on a few levels lower gem level so it autocasts with CWDT though and thats why I put it in that socket group.
For mapping, you just unsocket CWDT and cast blood rage - and it lasts the whole map so no worries there.

You cannot use Damage on Full Life with blood rage though. With blood rage up you are never on full life even with slayer leech. This has been tested and verified, and you can do it yourself easily (check dmg without blood rage when at full life - and then cast blood rage and go kill a few packs and check damage without any other buffs activated - your dmg is allot lower meaning damage on full life isnt active, even if you have a ton of leech in the queue).

Wasps nest is my favorite choice but im going to try bloodseeker too and try shaper again.
I only managed him once - and failed once - so I felt like I needed to either improve gear, or start another build if I want to farm shaper smoothly. Without acuity (~35ex) and GG steel rings (~5ex each) and coil 6L (10ex+) you cannot farm all bosses smoothly on this build.
