Duelist - [3.7] Ahfack's Crimson Cyclone | Shaper FULL Life Kill Vid | 100% Pure Phys | All Content

" Optio82 wrote: Half the people say "I die on T10 maps" the other Half says "I melted end game" If you struggle, look thru the thread at people who have posted that they killed high bosses/cleared high Tier maps--then open their Character tab and look. I suggest players like: 1) Crazypearce 2) Arospl 3) Valorax 4) Empario 5) of course Afhack -- but he is on Standard so its kinda a different thing Look at their gear and their passives and adjust yours. See the items you need to upgrade to. Don't want to use one of the uniques shown, cool go for it. There are some good alternatives like ES belt unique or The Retch. I use Belly and have a sick Vaal Warchief set-up for example, instead of Kaom's and I still have around 6k Life. Most of the time you're struggling because your gear is out of whack, not enough life, gem-links are off, etc. And change a few passives from DPS to defensive's and try that. Don't be lazy. Afhack has done a great job updating this for Legion. The build works as it. Skim through the thread and its obvious. You want to use Swords or go Crit-based, it still works - but you will need to adjust it. And the porcupine question has been answered 15 times at least. Change your approach to the pack, LOS or chip away, use defensive flask, switch to Sand, plop down your Vaal Warchief totem on them, make sure you have 3 Endu charges up, Fortify is up, use Enfeeble curse, etc. Also if you ask about the mana issue you are having -- it is clear you didn't read the 1st page nor opened a single character playing this build and looked at their ring enchant(s). HINT: -# Total Mana cost to Skills. I am still trying different guards myself. My gear: Spoiler I stopped using leap slam as a primary movement (because I lag a lot, hate it, and am lazy, have a koam gem for endu generation). I don't support it anymore, just use leap slam for ledges and stuff. This freed me up to add a CWDT setup, used VMS last night and it felt great (seems like the argument is VMS for low level CWDL, steelskin for higher level CWDT since it scales by gem level, VMS scales by armor). I also agree with you about people not using strategy for some of the more rippy stuff. Most leagues I play tanky characters because I get random packet loss a lot, I lag and end up dead, I have no control over this. This build seems just as tanky as a 10k ES Worb occultist I had a few leagues ago. Big packs that hit me hard I cyclone away and in circles, while hitting them. Its all about knowing your range, using it to your advantage, and having a little common sense.	Posted by NSUCK#0844 on Jun 19, 2019, 12:52:34 PM Quote this Post

So, is that Vaal Axe better than using my Disfavour? Only worth if I am at full life right?	Posted by iiDWESTii#4150 on Jun 19, 2019, 1:02:56 PM Quote this Post

And then get shocked when they die. It doesn't work that way. And thanks for the info on Guards that you use. That's helpful to me.	Posted by Optio82#7481 on Jun 19, 2019, 1:05:53 PM Quote this Post
Got a question regarding this build. First I dropped crimson dance and bloodletting and picked up martial experience. Is this OK? I don't really feel any change. Second. I was fortunate enough to get on my haemophilia gloves Inc duration and lvl 11 vulnerability. So regarding the auras what is best now since I got curse on gloves. Pride, flash and stone., dread banner or some other combo. I have enough mana for 3 of them equipping blood and sand with the others leaves me with 30 mana and I basicly can't spin. So what would be the perfect solution for damage. Thx in advance	Posted by Worfy#6515 on Jun 19, 2019, 1:10:00 PM Quote this Post
Should i go craft a fortify axe or just go disfavour/starforge first? Disfavour is around 8-9ex and Starforge is ~ 10 ex now. As my experience, we could EASILY craft a fortify axe with 450-550 base DPS just around 10ex (or below if you're lucky) so should we straight to a craft axe or just buy these OVERPRICE disfavour/starforge?

Disfavour is 15-18ex 6l while starforge goes Evan to 20 ex +. My opinion is that if the crafted axe is not mirror worthy better stick to the unique. You could always sell it later. Disfavour goes to 650+dps starforge Evan higher. A 550 crafted axe would be good but I thik Disfavour would still be better. My opinion	Posted by Worfy#6515 on Jun 19, 2019, 1:41:36 PM Quote this Post

" ADLV1988 wrote: what is that buffs and stuff jewel u have on the fortify axe level 100 tree cant find it anywhere to buy PoB doesn't correctly calculate several key parts of this build. That is a false gem added to help PoB calculate our damage better. Ignore it. and Don't use those three points above RT node in the actual game. Just don't touch them in PoB. And leave the unused skills alone too.	Posted by Optio82#7481 on Jun 19, 2019, 1:55:49 PM Quote this Post
