Is there a way to increase the boss dps of this build? I used to play this build and always loved it, but with a lot of mods and/or on higher maps bosses just take ages as they dont seem to take damage at all.

It says that the build is updated for 2.5, but the new shield is not discussed, as well as blade flurry. Wouldnt both be worth trying out/using?

The shield is definitely worth using, there's nothing to discuss there :)

As for blade flurry, it means changing a lot of things: main weapon and gear and passive tree.

The best way of increasing single target is to use Voidheart. Same as for all melee builds.

any jewel u recommend? or priority?
TY

Rare jewels with the stats for this build.

Would lacerate be a viable skill for this build?

I noticed that your Link section then the gems you have linked in your gear section seem to vary.

Also, I have quite low dex and int for my current level and gems like FAS, Tempest, Inc Area, etc. have quite a lot higher requirements that I can get from my gear without swapping for an important piece I'm wearing.

One last thing, I've sort of built my own build based on yours and other, seeing what passives you pick up and why. I'd like you to take a look at it and let me know your opinion. I'm constantly changing it, and tweaking passives.

Thanks!

Any suggestions for gearing or skill tree?
Was thinking to try Surrender from breach, but don't think there will be significant changes... Rolling with Static strike, decided to neglect Chaos resistance since I can easily outregen it in most situations.

Passive skill tree build

That's why there's a HUGE DISCLAIMER on my gear section. Jesus christ, how noticeable do you have to make things to prevent people from saying this.

Isn't the movement and attack speed penalty from The Anvil too annoying or is it barely noticeable?

When you have fast boots (or something else) and some node buff for as you will see much more pluses than minuses (+3% max block is OP).

I saw the disclaimer. Then I'm guessing you're trying a different build or skill gem setup? Which is why they're different then your suggested links? I was just wondering because if you weren't, what made you choose those particular skills over the others you suggested.

No need to get snappy over it.
