[3.9] Bashtart's Block, Crit, Impale Cyclone Gladiator [fast dual-wielding, high dps]
|
Hi, great build, I am up to level 87 now. Almost never die. Still using perforate because I kind of like it. Right now I am experimenting with going with a bit of crit since it's easy for us to cap hit without resolute technique so if we aren't taking RT why not take some crit nodes. You can find my skill tree in my profile but basically I took the two dual wield crit clusters towards the ranger side of the tree which put me at about 17% crit. Then I swapped out prismatic eclipse for scaeva since PoB was showing that as a dps increase (lost 8% block chance but gained about 8% crit). What are some other obvious changes I should make if I try to go crit? Should I try to work power charges in somewhere?

Why you took maces nodes ?

So I moved away from bladestorm to cyclone as it seemed to unperformed on DPS. I saw in the most recent patch notes "Fixed a bug where Bladestorm's initial hit did not actually hit." and know from PoB that the main hit is a large portion of the skill.
Had this bug been in the game the full time? or a more recent bug? And has anyone noticed a big change with the patch on bladestorm's DPS? |

Is it worth it to continue with Impale gem and some nodes instead of focus to more crit nodes and cast while channeling gem ( for cyclone ) ?

" The Impale gem is needed until you have nearly 100% impale from other sources... if you have two weapons with both chance to impale you can drop the support. Or you can get it from pride watcher's eye... etc. I think Impale is definitly worth it. [3.2] Bashtart's Spark Inquisitor: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1838569

" Thanks, this was useful, but I noticed a couple of odd things: 1. You have 6 support gems linked to cyclone 2. Surely you want to take the Twin Terrors node for the huge crit boost? edit: nevermind I see Rage is disabled so that must indicate it's a swap Last edited by litmusdragon#6801 on Jun 21, 2019, 8:45:30 PM

" My goals was to have nearly max block with rumi and as much life and dps as possible. Once I get two weapons on with impale on hit I would drop the impale gem for rage.
