What build are you planning for 2.4???

P.S I already have a Flicker Striker, but you're probably right and my Shadow won't amount to much. However, isn't everybody's first character on a new league about testing out new things?

Mine's usually a cheap cookie cutter to get a good base and then I start fooling around when I can afford it. You can make a lot of cash in the first week of a league if you progress quickly and starting with a character which turns out to suck is painful. I've made this mistake once and I won't repeat it again.

Planning to copy a TL2 Berserker as an evasion dual claw marauder. I remember Sid saying that the idea was dumb back in pre-ascendancy when we discussed fixes and possible applications for Berserker so I'm interested in seeing for myself if it truly sucks and how much.

If I had to do a claw berserker, I'd probably go claw + shield CI. Will be super gear-reliant but definitely won't suck if built properly. 40% more damage, excellent leech and 100% leech with VP if something hits you for more than 15%, plus a high enough ES base, will make a character capable of facerolling anything in the game.

The only 'slight' issue will be gearing him and colouring a Vaal Regalia :P

Yeah, it would probably be better but it then it wouldn't play the role close enough. I want damage avoidance, claws, crit and leech, that's what a default TL2 zerker is about.

Good luck getting enough of all that plus a sufficient life pool to not die from a stiff breeze since you're melee, and we all know true dual wielding sucks since there's no skill with decent AOE coverage.

Yeah, I know, it will be tricky and themed builds tend to suck if you stick too close to it but that's kind of the whole point, if I wanted easy sailing I'd make a girlscout bow build. Fortunately, there's a lot more wiggling room in the game nowadays and my tolerance level for sucky builds is extremely high.

sucky sucky 5 dolla?

:D

I tried making a viable tree for what you said, it needed only 137 points :P

BF mines or traps I didn't decided yet.

50 cent level, more likely :)

Got one already worked out for the usual 112 points, probably a bit less viable than yours but should be usable enough.

I would be concerned if it wasn't a bit less viable with 25 points less :P May I see yours? Just curious to see if we were thinking along the same lines or it's something completely different.

^Use a kaoms, get one of the conc effect unique's(the gloves or helmet), preferably the gloves in this build, rampage fits the theme.

Get blood magic to simulate a 6-link in the gloves.

Get one of the rings that allows a free aura and throw in grace or other aura(but your simulating full avoidance right?)

There you go.

dual claw/acro/evasion berzerker capable of end-game. It won't be fast but i reckon that's not the purpose of the build.

Peace,

-Boem-



Remove jewel sockets or other desired stats to lessen the stress on the passive tree where desired.

205% life + avoidance/kaoms and instant 100% vaal pact leach is going to carry you.
And your at around 7% leech without it i reckon with claw implicit + ascendancy and nodes.

edit 2 : can probably also do it with a belly, opening up the gloves slot and providing you with a 7-link.

245% life with avoidance should be "ok" if you stack solid life rolls on all your gear.

This was fun.

Going to keep trying to make my windwalker-samurai lacerater.
