[3.x][Super Heavy Heavy Strike] 2H HS Jug - All Content

I thought a bit about the tree and am trying Bladedancer (3 points) instead of Brutal Blade (5 points) to get some QoL with the +1 range for clearing maps and still get all the bonuses from the nodes. Any reason you didn't go for it?


BLADEDANCER
Sword Attacks deal 24% increased Damage with Hits and Ailments
+1 to Melee Strike Range with Swords
6% increased Attack Speed with Swords
Enemies have -10% to Total Physical Damage Reduction against your Hits


BRUTAL BLADE
Sword Attacks deal 20% increased Damage with Hits and Ailments
8% increased Attack Speed with Swords
+4% Chance to Block Attack Damage while Dual Wielding or holding a Shield
10% chance to gain a Frenzy Charge when you Block Attack Damage

Hello, just as a disclaimer, all blade clusters are strong and if you find a better alternative surely go for it!

I think that in POB it kinda depends on the relative setup. I see that the tree without cluster jewels has Brutal Blade while the one with one fulled cluster has Bladedancer

Pastebin Link for the build. I like pastbin so i copied the build

I've been playing this build but I constantly feel extremely squishy and if I invest in tankiness I feel like my damage is too low. Need help.

Squishiness is due to low-ish life from tree (only 150%) and level 86.

Imo what you need to do is get at least 170-175% inc life (with all my jugs i went 190& life first then took dmg nodes) AND then get abyssus to boost your dmg by 30% more with the HS enchant.

Then run easy maps till 90+, yellow maps at lv86 still give plenty of exp they deal almost no dmg and you can run at least 50% faster than reds

Damage will come don't worry with gem levels + tree + gear upgrades

Hello. Could someone paste PoB for more expensive build ? The one from Author from this build is not complete :)

could you also please check if I am going right direction with my build:
https://pastebin.com/pgFFbaw4

what can I do as next step to upgrade damage.

I am trying to get abyssus with double damage for Heavy Strike but not that easy.

Hello, if you are referring to this one it is 100% allocated

Check if pts on the cluster are allocated and make sure you are using the POB fork: https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding/wiki/Installing-this-Fork

Thanks! I will check it surely. But before that I am trying to check why there is around 1million Difference in combined damage between Website (inserted manually) and PC application (I used import from account). Maybe you will be able to help me. They are identical :(

I also checked both of them on Site and there is same issue...

Here are screens:

Website:

Application on PC

Maybe it is a setup problem. Maybe I did something wrong. I would appreciate if someone experienced could have a look. Meanwhile I will analyse what you have sent me.

Thanks in advance !


UPDATE:

I can see that Watchers Eye from cluster version of build contains buff to Zealotry - do this build uses this buff (if yes then where ?) or was just additional option to this WatchersEye (maybe was cheaper) and it is not mandatory?


UPDATE #2
Ok I have figured it out. It seems that Pride was set up only for 19% instead of 39%. But I do have another question. How can I change Enemy physical damage reduction on my character and Golem ? Please check 2 pictures:



Any Ideas?

I have done the fixs that you recommended but I'm not sure what to upgrade next cos every upgrade at this point looks like it will take several exalts. Are there any cheaper upgrades that I can make.

(On another note): i suggest you to use fortify instead of melee phys dmg for added tankiness

Well your tree is starting to deviate from the one i am using but i see it works pretty good actually

This pathing adjustment will give you an extra 2pts:



Then I would remove pts from the little impale (force skewering) and aspd (berserking) and add them to crit (disemboweling & blade of cunning) the result is +400k dps



Then yea you got a couple more places to put the next pts, wrecking ball & martial experience. After that q20 gems, lv93+ and then minmaxing gear
