[2.2] JForce's Reave Duelist Build

build updated for 2.2, for anybody who even remotely remembers me lol

I was using your build for quite some time, since it was my first char at playing in PoE i finished with something like this over 1,5 year ago.




Thanks for update for 2.2 coz im back in game and i wondered how to set up build for new patch.

no problem, just glad to hear back from people who first did my build. Being a father really took me out of the game for a while but with melee being so powerful with 2.2 and bringer being so cheap i could easily afford to bring this back without too much investment which I'm happy for.

Updated gear and tree. Decided it was more logical to just link my current characters tree then lay out a theoretical one at this point.

Just some little questions.
I want to present this build to my friend who wants to start hardcore.
He has little experience in the game (120ish) hours and doesn't know quite all mechanics and stuff. You think this is a good beginner HC build?
Also how is it for leveling?
And i'm not sure about the life sustain. I didn't saw that much leech in the gear/tree.

I only played a south paw reaver in Warbands so i'm quite curious about those things.

I mean its not the worlds best build to level with since you need to really have multistrike to get the most out of reave just because of the fact it needs 4 stacks for full aoe, but its not the worst thing in the world.

I doesnt specialize too much in leech although there is node path next to the mana leech node I got for some life leech, but I just use the mana leech node alongside a mana gain on hit jewel to sustain my skills, while using blood rage to sustain some life and flasks for everything else.

man, what do u think about changing the sword nodes for axe nodes (gives more dmg and less accuracy since u dont need it) and replacing the weapon for varunastra? also, what do u think is the potential of this build? im already 73 on HCP but im wondering if this is high-end content viable. I choosed gladiator and im using bor too, but with anvil and im almost capped on block. thoughts?
