[2.5] [HC/SC] 2H Crit ST Raider [WIP]

Hey guys. This build is based off of etup's raider (character name: ProcupineEtup), but sadly he abandoned it bc of the unfortunate lack of synergy with Vaal Pact and blood rage and life regen and blah blah. Now with the raider buffs, this build works much better and is super fun to play. My character's name is uvhm. Leave any recommendations for both the build and the guide in the comments, also feel free to ask questions! I might play around with some stuff, such as knockback, using Hege's staff, poison, etc. in the future.

PROS
Spoiler
Fun (IMO)
Fast movement speed
Fast attack speed
2H is more deeps than 1H
Very high evasion
Near cap dodge
HC viable if you're good (proven by etup)
Nice clear speed/AoE


CONS
Spoiler
Life based
Relies on diamond flask for crit
Relies on quartz flask to cap spell dodge
No shield so no block
Endgame gear can get expensive
ST leveling is pretty meh
Not blade flurry
Single target not great

ASCENDANCY ORDER
Spoiler
Avatar of Slaughter>Avatar of Chase (Avatar of Veil maybe, maybe not for HC)


GEAR
Spoiler
Check out my char "uvhm" for current gear

MANDATORY UNIQUES
Spoiler
Darkrays +1 frenzy, preferably 3 red, 1 green socket

OPTIONAL UNIQUES
Spoiler
Snakebites: poison can be good, especially for single target which we lack
Queen of the Forest: Amazing leveling chest until you get a real nice ass garb
Kintsugi: BiS if you're going full evasion, must take arrow dancing with this so it's proc isnt wasted on a stupid skele archer



GEMS
Spoiler
6L (in order of preference):
ST + GMP + PPAD + AF + WED + ICS/ICD/FA

Movement/Utility (Generates end charges pretty good):
Leap Slam + FA + Fortify + End charge on melee stun

CWDT Setup:
CWDT(lv5) + IC(lv7) + Increased Duration + Vaal Grace

Auras/Curse:
HoI + CoH + Ass Mark + Hatred



JEWELS
Spoiler
PRIORITIZE LIFE (6%+), then get:
Phys dmg w/ 2h melee weps, swords, general
Atk spd w/ swords, 2h welee weps, general
Crit multi w/ 2h melee weps, global,
Proj dmg

Evasion rating and proj speed are good, but wouldn't prioritize them

Try to get at least 3 (including life) to start with. The more specific, the cheaper. Avoid crit chance of any kind, we don't need more than we have and its not really worth the roll in general.


BANDITS
Spoiler
OAK, KRAIT, KRAIT
