2H(any weapon) build IR/US/RT/Bloodless/Lava Lash/Ice Bite/Butchery

Here


This build, for me, is all about gearing freely and easily. 2h axes, maces, or swords and any armor with evasion or armor is all viable.

Lvl 61: 6.8k Flicker - 80% DR w/ Determination + Enduring Cry - 1600 hp

I need some gear upgrades, hp wise at the very least, but outside chaos this build absolutely wrecks.

Updated. Any thoughts?

Dropped the accuracy nodes in favor of Resolute Technique. Currently working diligently on filling out this build on my Duelist. It will definitely take advantage of respec points, because you'll need accuracy until you can get to RT. Really hoping to hear some feedback on this.

Have you done any number crunching on IF with your dex rating. I am guessing the bonus of it over pure armor will be minimal unless you have more dex or else have more evasion nodes. But I'm not sure on this. I also have grown fond of weapon specializations over resolute.

Well I have IF because I need dex anyway for Flicker Strike and other skills. I took RT because I definitely wanted Bloodless anyway, and it saves me points to get that over a bunch of accuracy nodes. Since I could drop the accuracy nodes, I wasn't limited to 2h swords anymore. Now I can wear anything my stats allow, which makes it easier on me than waiting for that rare specific drop.

I see your point about IF though, and I would consider dropping it, but all the dex I have wouldn't really have any use then except for equipping skills. Being that there's no big dex nodes around without accuracy, that limb is as good as any to get more dex, and 1 more point converts that into armor, since I can't dodge with Unwavering Stance anyway. I love US btw, saves me quite often I feel. If I unwittingly flicker into a group of extra damage etc. mobs, I won't get slowed down inside of it and can instead leech and flicker my way back out easier.

Looks like you are doing well. let me know when you start doing chaos how it goes. Your armor rating value is pretty good for being a 2 hand user. So i guess the freedom this build gives you is nice. I love the hp and regen nodes at marauder start, i think that area is the best in the game.

Will do. If I could reach that regen area I would love to have it. I may still yet do that, the extra resist is nice. I would have to sacrafice bloodless and resolute technique, but we'll see.

yeah might be hard for you to reach as a duelist and your other choices. I know my ranger I couldn't make it over there. marauder is lucky he can quickly nab those and take off in other directions.

I have Golem's Blood so I'm not too concerned with it. I think I'll stick with what I'm planning on so far. I'm rethinking Resolute Technique atm though. I don't think I miss enough to give up my crit.

That's what I had trended towards as well, and really like being able to use a diamond flask for a named.
