They do look decent, I just mean we haven't seen them all, so it's possible there are some other interesting options waiting to be found.

Though if there really are ~300 options, and no handicaps in place help the player roll the ones they want, the devs really aren't kidding about "living in the labyrinth"!

Any thoughts as to what you want to fill those free gem slots with, if we end up with AA?

If I had a free gem slot for bloodrage Id probably toss in enhance(lv4) for 6% attack speed which wouldn't be accessible to the average player and isn't amazing regardless. Potentially could swap an aura around and run something linked to vengeance aswell; life leech or melee phys

Champion looks so good for cyclone damn.

I am thinking about doing perma fortify Duelist cycloner on mana, running hatred+poachers mark on blasphemy so both the ascendancy fortify and this open up 2 gem slots in cyclone links. This should be nice.

This way i don't even have to run blood rage for frenzy charges, so i keep that 6%+ life regeneration on top of lgoh from gem+poacher and life leech from the tree.

Do you think poacher's mana on hit will be enough to maintain cyclone without having to invest in mana nodes under Duelist?

This way i'd run something like Cyclone+Melee phys+Added fire+Faster attacks(i dont know if WED is worth it without herald of ash)+Blue socket for inc aoe or conc as you suggest.

@zeezaxean that's an awesome idea man. If we can free up LGoH and Fortify and BM, I am 100% all in on this. I'd love to hear Lighty's feedback whether he thinks hatred+poachers on blasphemy is viable enough to remove lgoh and bloodrage and BM.

I was 84 on HC tali and used cyclone + melee phys + LGoH + BM + fortify. Would be incredible to free up 3 gems for moar damage lol.

As many others I have been thinking about the Champion Duelist Class, as it provides amazing benefits.

I put up a very defensive Axe Tree - designed for HC:

passive tree

Would you change something?

I'm still interested in working in some single target enhancements for those high health bosses in lieu of a Vaal setup. Not sure how effective it would be, but Ancestoral Protector totem with it's own damage support gems, granting us the attack speed buff could be pretty neat, though I have doubts as to how effective it would be for the investment. There's also the tanky stone golem, which might be worth having around for HC.
