So this is my first melee build and I'm having a blast. It was a bit slow to start up, but once it gets going, hoo boy.

I'm not even in maps yet, but I'm enjoying it.

I'm looking out for cool random Unique's too that might synergize well.

Anyway, thanks for the build!

Ha ha! I love the name TheAmazingShane! Nice.

Thank you very much for the post. You're very kind to let me know. I really like it as well. I love how easy it is to swap out one melee skill for another.

Good luck with your unique hunt! There are quite a few I've seen posted over the leagues that people have quite enjoyed.

Thanks again :).

Fantastic build as usual! Thank you again.

Any tips for levelling, and for mana sustain while levelling? I'm levelling with Cyclone and then might switch to Bladestorm further down the line.

Cheers.

KrisWithAnF...funny name :).

I'm glad you like the build! You're very kind.

Levelling is pretty easy with the trigger skills. The hard part can be mana. I kept one or two mana flasks on me and only used 2 auras until my mana leech was doing the trick. With Cyclone it's easy to use the skill when enemies aren't around. It's annoying to do this, but it'll help with mana to only use Cyclone mid-combat.

In terms of gear, it's simply life and resists. I think you'll find as you're levelling that resists don't even matter when you're blocking which is awesome for progress.

Does that help? Was there anything else specifically you wanted to know about?

And thanks again :).

Anyone find any cool or useful Cluster jewels?

I'm not quite there yet, but I've been eyeing One With the Shield or Prodigious Defence.

Craiceann's Carapace would work well with "Advance Guard" since it ignores armor movement penalties.

Thoughts?

Working on Cluster jewels currently on my passive tree you will see my large with Prodigious Defense & Strike Leader. I have a small with Confident combatant & another small with Adrenaline. I want to deploy a medium cluster jewel however they all seem less than exciting for our build. Master of Command and First among equals seem to be the best of a sorry bunch. I may just use the large and two smalls and skip the medium entirely.

Anyone else have better medium cluster choice ideas?

Why is the damage so low? Am I missing something?

Any one suggest the best helm enchant for the build please?

Hello Wrecker_of_Days, first of all thank you for this guide as well as the previous ones. Last league I played the minions league and enjoyed it as much as I'm doing with this one.
The enormous work you have invested in explaining them so well is priceless.
I am 59 years old and I hate to play in a hurry, I like to clean all the maps and go at my own pace, so your guides seem to be made for me.

For all the above, I thank you again for all the hours invested in your guides.
Kind regards from Spain.

Hi, I was currently lucky to get: bladestorm deals 25% increased damage in my Starkonja's Head, I don't know if it's the best, but the increase in damage is quite noticeable.
Greetings.

Hey TheAmazingShane!

I like what you've been eyeing, but I've been playing this build on standard, so I don't have any jewels falling for me. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Hopefully someone can.

Hey Vertiel!

It looks to me like it's your weapon. Attack builds are really dependant on their gear, so a weapon with a nice big top physical damage is important. My weapon is mediocre at best and it's still a little better than yours. If you find a weapon that gives 150%+ to increased physical damage and has a free prefix, you can craft flat physical damage on it and have a weapon that hits harder than the weapon you have.

Sometimes drops don't work in our favour but let us know how it goes.
