i want to try this build in the new 1 month race that is coming up.

do you think it will be viable to level up with dual wielding swords using.. somthing like flicker strike or reave ?

also about the tree what part of the tree do you think its best to start ? left or right ?

I think there's something wrong with your PvE tree, you talk about using Iron Reflexes, but it isn't selected in the linked tree.

Hi there!

The build looks great, btw. I just started a month race, as a marauder. Just one (noob) question, how do you manage with mana? I mean if theres no blood magic linked with cleave, and no clarity, is it a problem? Mana leech or something? Sorry if it's in the comments already, I tried search it.

Greetings! I'm a newish player and had planned on following this build, as it seems to fit the play style I was looking for, but I have a question regarding the build itself.

Why Iron Reflexes? As I said, I'm new to the game, so I don't know yet how much armor or evasion is valued in higher-level content, but it seems to me that having a high chance (50%+, if you could sustain that with this build without IR) to entirely negate damage would be pretty beneficial. (On top of having a nice amount of armor for the times you failed to evade, too, obviously.)

Is the hit chance of higher-level stuff so high that it pretty much negates your Evasion?

And, with that thought in mind, have you tried the same build without IR to see how it holds up survivability-wise; and if so, how did you like that compared to having IR?

Anyways, thanks in advance!

Yeah, though the PvE build has IR, I mention in the notes that I abandoned IR at 85 (or sooner, can't recall) for Acrobatics, which grants 40% dodge, which is calculated separately from evasion, and never looked back. For my end build that worked really well for me, just use the Level 90 PvP Build in the main section. 40% evade and 40% dodge works pretty damn well, considering that 40% evade is based on lvl 90 enemies, so it's actually higher against anything but players. It's really up to your preference. IR is definitely the way to go until you have most the items for you build, around 60ish, at least.

Also, when you say 'having a nice amount of armor for the times you failed to evade', nope. It's either IR or Acrobatics/Evade. Acrobatics wrecks what little armor you had, I think I'm at something like 3% estimated physical reduction, so higher health is the only way to live when you do get hit. The easiest armor for the build is an armor/evasion chest to easily get reds, but a pure evasion chest would be best.

Thanks for the interest in the build, kick some ass!
