[3.2] - [Reave/BF/Dual Strike] Melee Champion | Budget friendly
|
I think people should consider trying out claws instead of swords for Champion BF. Claw nodes are great and using claws means you can use Bloodseeker https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Bloodseeker. With such high dps I'd rather sacrifice some damage for instant leech that lets me face tank guardians and shaper and just survive a whole bunch of stuff I normally wouldn't be able to.
If anyone's interested in what the Bloodseeker claw variant looks like here's a PoB. https://pastebin.com/uWwjby5a With an Abyssus I reach 3.7m dps with my current gear and 2.2m without one. Unlike normal leeching builds you can wear an Abyssus in most scenarios that can't straight up one shot you because you're constantly leeching to full after every attack when bursting. I used Abyssus for fighting all 4 guardians and Shaper and the only time I noticed it was during Chimera's snake phase and the Minotaur fight. When I'm not wearing Abyssus I'm wearing some cheap helmet with 125 life and some int to keep the stat requirements satisfied and it bumps my life up to 6.3k. I feel like instant leech is way too powerful to be passed up for some more damage when you're already dealing this much damage. Any damage you gain on PoB is lost in a real fight the second you're forced to dodge because you need a few seconds for leech to take you back to full while the Bloodseeker build is standing still continuing the damage. Also it just feels way smoother in general to play the game with instant leech. There's a reason they flat out removed the old Vaal Pact from the game. They didn't touch Bloodseeker because it's a low dps weapon that never saw use, but Champion allows you to scale so hard that it isn't a problem. You don't even need great gear for it. I'm not wearing steel rings and my Shaper stat stick has a mediocre total of 44% phys as extra ele to it. |

" Interesting! Thf for sharing, might try after i finish sword version. Btw, hod do u proc your adrenaline? Havent seen gem setup for it. Need advices: 1. Shaper or elder ammy? And why. Both have some ele dmg 2. Jewels priority: AS or Crit Multi? And better jewel have more AS or more Multi affixes? My setup atm. Working on rings and ammy ro replace.

" Blood Magic + Blasphemy + Curse. For me I have it on my weapon swap. Frees up some gem sockets for other things and makes wearing Kaom's Roots bearable. |

" whatever total % is higher, the element doesn't matter. to make the random element show in POB you have to edit the item to Fire Damage and remove the random bit. dunno why it isn't supported |

" btw if we have phys to lighting do we shock? |

" This two gems don't work together, do they? Last edited by Tarasovych#1368 on Mar 26, 2018, 8:55:01 AM

" all lightning dmg will shock when you crit as long as you pass the minimum threshold. to get maximum shock of 50% for 2seconds you need to deal 10% of the hp in a hit, so it should be possible on map bosses |

I wondered, since this utilizes a lot of crit nodes in the tree, would it be worth it to use increased critical strikes gem or something like that?

Can anyone tell me, why One Hand Sceptres scale by far better then swords/foils?
