[3.9] Bashtart's Block, Crit, Impale Cyclone Gladiator [fast dual-wielding, high dps]

Bump for update. Love your guide.

I actually use vaal double strike for single target.

In the longrun I think I will go with a 6-link two hand sword and respec all the dual wield nods, running a 6-link double strike vaal and a 6-link bladestorm.
I like the build so far clearing yellow maps like its nothing with just selffound crap gear. Still playing Bladestorm and would love to see more details about the Bladestorm part of the Build.


bump it bois!

and thanks for the build! update it soon pls

Hi,

today they will deploy a patch with some improvements for Bladestorm. There was a bug which made the initial hit not hit... that should be fixed now. And Bladestorm can now be supported by Multistrike... you should try that out.

This build is going very well for me. I've gotten it to lv 91 and it is easily taking down Red Elders and Red maps. I did do a 4 emblem Legion encounter and It was definitely lacking the DPS to farm the bosses there. Once I farm up some more emblems Ill try it with 2 or 3 and report back.

You can check out my current PoB https://pastebin.com/e45NVzxs

One thing I've noticed is that With rage support linked with riposte/vengeance you really don't generate enough rage to do anything.
How does this spec deal with physical reflect? I'm tearing up most things but that just kills me. Or is that a map mod to just avoid?

The only way to really push dps is to go crit. I work on a crit version atm.

This is what I got so far:

Yes phy. reflection is the one map mode you should really avoid.

How do we feel about impale? Is it good solo, or only good if we take the nodes to scale it? Is rage the cut for it? Looking off that most recent pob, atm Im still running off the pob you posted day 4 or so.

TBH I am not 100% sure what the best setup is. I tested with Impale then a version without it and it feels better with Impale. Unfortunately you don't see the dps of impale in PoB.

Atm I run with Dread Banner + Impale Support + Swift Skewering to have 95% chance to impale. I am still testing but I think you want to have a nearly 100% chance to impale with a low investment as possible.

Thanks for the input, out of curiosity, what content have managed to clear thus far with the build? Just now hitting t14s at lvl 91 myself.

I am lvl 90 and so far I did up to T12 because my atlas progression ... I have no maps higher than that but I could do easy higher ones. I did a yellow elder... more or less just facetanked it. Tankyness is really not the problem... but I feel that I am lacking a bit dps for endgame content... so I specced to crit and try that out atm.

Just did a T15 and it was np at all... I still wearing a tabula :)
