How To Dunk Like Jordan! (Physical CI Melee for Dummies!)(Ridiculous Survivability and Damage)

Well i followed this almost to the letter other than maybe 1 or 2 points here and there , hit 80 (1? 2?) days ago. Yay. (For anyone skeptical if this is "viable at endgame" , unless some brick wall pops up in the next 4 levels of maps, basicly unless you cant pop a potion when a status effect hits you, or you roll HORRIBLE mods, its a faceroll)

Started doing 71-2 maps. Again thanks for taking the time to write this all up. Never would have gotten this far this fast otherwise.

Well along with my focus, as always on trading to accumulate wealth, which, as always is how to get gear.. drops ..HA yeah right.. except in games were the gear is soulbound, drops are just not how you get good gear(unfortunately, as getting found gear is so much more fun))

Kinda feel "stalled" now. Nothing to do with the build, more with the game in general. Running maps feels painfully slow, and they don't really "replace" themselves so its even slower. Trying to figure out what to do, really not in the mood just to make a new character for the hell of it.

Sort of lost my drive to keep playing.
will try to find a good weapon now
thanks for advice

This is the part where you get friends to play/scour the forums for map partners. OR, using this knowledge of how to build your character, you port it to HC/Onslaught, and do the same or a similar build. Another way to go is to buy many maps and try to create your own group/pool. Some good people to look for in Standard do exist, the only public mappers I can think of at the moment are CallsignHUSKER and Xottii. (may have spelled those names wrong)

Good guide, but:

Every time I read one of those and see this:
"This build requires gear, not good gear, not bad gear, but average, decent, and mediocre gear, and can function well with easily attained uniques." followed by linikng Marohi, Rainbowstride and 5L 800ES chest I think: what was he smoking when he wrote that?

Cheap and easy attainable uniques? WTF?

I am currently in insane gear, but the build only requires low-end ES gear and a Carnage Heart. About 1 Exalt worth of gear to get going, which is almost nothing. If you go back through the comments, I believe around page 17 I outlined the exact gear requirements already, but if not, here they are again:

I started with:
250 ES 4L Helm
413 ES 5L Chest
24 ES Ring 1
22 ES Ring 2
130 ES 4L Boots
150 ES 3L 4S Gloves
37 ES Chain Belt
410 DPS 3L Karui Maul
7% LL 20% Ele Res 26 Stats Carnage Heart

As you can see, I've come a long way in upgrades.

is it still interesting to take iron reflexes since dexterity provides no bonus to evasion ratings or can i keep the 3 skill points to take something else ? i don't have any evasion stuff (only armor and ES)

Grace gives you about 11-13k armor, so, its entirely worth it. To be honest, the dex was just icing on the cake. Otherwise, the whole 20 point trek wouldn't be worth it
