[2.2] JForce's Reave Duelist Build

I'm starting to get the hang of the playstyle but I had another question.

Before I spend a bunch of currency on something I don't need, how important is having increased attack speed % on the sword? Right now I'm using a 322 physical dps sword.

From what I saw of your character on your profile the sword is actually 277 physical dps, unless I'm seeing the wrong one. But attack speed is pretty nice for mobility reasons as well as giving greater returns in terms of the elemental damage you do as well which scales more with attack speed, as well as giving frenzy charges greater effect since they get to work with a way higher attack speed base. But for a starting sword itll get the job done.

The one I'm using now is 158-324 dmg but no increased attack speed. I'm doing ~32.5k dps sitting in my hideout with auras after earning enough currency to get the BoR. Bought an amulet before I switched to BoR so my res would still be maxed but I lost some intellect. I respec'd and added another 30 int node so I could keep leveling my jewels. Am I right in assuming it's better to have a passive point in that int node until I can get some gear that has enough int? Without the node I didn't have enough int for level 19 reave gem.

please put stat SS,so i can justify myself to take this build on a new league. :D
Is this uber atrizi viable?
Hi, I seriously love this build and my gear seems to be quite nice by now.



However, i constantly feel like something is missing :/

i`m considering going for a 6L

to increase the level of skills supported by BoR. considering linking herald of ash and hatred with the enhance gem when i get that one levelled. But then i would get stuck up on what head to use, i dont feel abyssus being a good choice, do you have any suggestions ? Or does this sound completely crazy ?

Abysys is pretty scary unless youre running a more immortal call oriented setup, so either youd need to spam enduring cry all the time or run something like daressos defiance to get charges. I dont know what kind of duration you can get with the gem on quality anymore alongside increased duration.

But you seem pretty okay for the time being, just get a basic rare helmet if you dont mind losing damage, in one area and getting some back through gem levels.
