Spoiler
Pros:
Cons:
Summary: Blade Flurry is terrible for Map clearing these days so this Build is pretty much a pure boss killing machine. If you are looking for a Blade Flurry Boss farmer that can also clear Maps fast, then i have to disappoint you, because nothing comes even close to the speed of projectile based Wanders and Archers. Despite that the Skill is really fun and engaging for End-Game Content if you love destroying every Boss in the game within seconds. There is still the option of using Vaal Double Strike or Vaal Reave for map clear and it has even proven itself as an Uber Lab farmer because of the tankiness provided by the Juggernaut Ascendancy.

Level 1-75/90:
Spoiler
This leveling Skill Tree is what i use at League starts. It has a lot of attack speed nodes for fast leap slamming and some one hand axe nodes, of which one gives you the chance for onslaught on kill to go even faster.
I recommend using Sunder until you have reached at least level 90. After getting all the nodes til level 75 you can just start putting skill points into the nodes you would need later as you level (use the level 90 skill Tree for reference), since Sunder doesn't need much else to work. If you are leveling with friends who can carry you in maps for a while or you already have the gear later into the League, feel free to make the switch to your main Skill Tree at level 75. The respec points you get through side quests are more than enough to make the switch without having to spend Regret Orbs. You get a total of 18 respec points through side quest and need to respec 17 points. Level 75:
Spoiler
This is the spine and backbone of your Skill Tree which has all the important nodes to get your Build starting. The Soul Raker Claw node fixes all your leech problems forever and after getting the Winter Spirit node you should definitely start using the Physical to Lightning Gem or the Hrimsorrow Gloves to get 80%+ conversion to elemental damage. The Thief's Craft (30 Int) node helps not having to worry about intelligence for a while.
Level 90:
Spoiler
Pick up the Jewel node over Blood Drinker which allows you to drop the Thief's Craft node and use a Jewel with resists. The nodes at the Shadow area give you another 20 Int, good amount of life and crit nodes. At this point your Skill Tree has pretty much reached its final form.
Level 96:
Spoiler
On your way to 96 you should start picking up all the Jewel Socket nodes that are reachable within two to three points. You have to drop one of your life nodes to get the last Jewel Socket on the far left side.
Level 96+:
Spoiler
The Level 96+ Skill Tree is quite different from the previous ones and there is a good reason for that. If you have enough crit chance and crit multiplier at some point, you get way more damage if you spec into the Elemental Penetration nodes that also give you a lot of increased percentage of elemental Damage. After that there is quite a bit of playground for your other desires. You can drop Will of Blades and Sleight of Hand to pick up Cloth and Chain or more life nodes at the Scion wheel if you struggle for either stat.
Bandits & Pantheon:
Spoiler
Bandits:
Spoiler
Kill all Bandits or help Alira. I prefer killing them all because the mana regen and resistances become useless later on as i push the limits of my build with good Jewels. If you want to go the budget route feel free to help Alira as she will provide you with similar stats you would get for your Jewels, just less good but free. Kill all:
Help Alira:
Pantheons:
Spoiler
(1) Major Pantheon - Soul Of Arakaali Everytime your CWDT triggers Blood Rage followed by Immortal call, you shortly stop taking damage from Blood Rage. This allows you to trigger the effect of this Pantheon which gives you a huge boost to your life regeneration and life leech. Don't forget to link your Blood Rage before Immortal Call to be able to trigger this effect. You can find more information about this here under "3.1 Order" in the wiki. (2) Minor Pantheon - Soul Of Yugul This is what i use in Shaper and Elder fights. The physical hits are not a problem for this build, we mainly want to reduce the cold damage we take in those fights. If you are not killing the monsters fast enough that spawn the physical degeneration ground in Elder fights, feel free to take Soul Of Ralakesh for the reduction in physical damage over time. (3) Minor Pantheon - Soul Of Gruthkul This is what i use for general mapping and Lab farming. Pretty solid stats for that purpose compared to the other options, not much else to say here.

" I see you edited your comment, but the question wasn't dumb. As for clear you can use Reave or Double Strike with Ancestral Call & Melee Splash. I don't really like Reave so when i have long mapping sessions i usually grab Double Strike. Otherwise i just use the listed mapping links for Blade Flurry with Inpulsas which usually gets the job done. But since this is mostly aimed to be a single target Build i didn't really include it.

Very good and strong build. What about sword weapon?
|
|
" Swords are really good too since you don't need to reach into the very top right part of the skill tree, which allows you to be more budged oriented. But losing out on the Soul Raker node is just not acceptable for me. Thats the single most OP non Keystone node IMO. Also the fact that old Vaal Pact is still in the game through Bloodseekers is another bonus. Basically if everything fails and you cant find a good weapon there is still a VP weapon to save the day. Again, the Sword version of BF Builds certainly has its benefits, but i like Claws more for tankiness and better QOL. |
|
" thank you very much for the answer. the idea itself is very interesting, I want to try it. I gave bf champion with claw, just I like sword, BUT, I like very strong life leech....( I even thought of buying atziri gloves that fell in price, but still, the claw better restore life than the sword. Gl buddy. P.s. sry for my English :( |
|
" The great thing with claws is that you can even do no leech or no regen maps where other BF builds usually have to reroll the map. The life gain on hit implict is super strong since it's instant and works in no leech maps. Just prefer claws over swords in general because of Bloodseeker alone. |

how would you do uber lab with abyssus. :T

" Go to Gear Breakdown under the Helmet section. I addressed most situational items and options you have for this build there. " Last edited by mustia#0444 on Jun 23, 2018, 2:18:29 PM

Is the clear speed for maps something that could be fixed by using vaal reave in place of bf?
