Official Blender Post! Lets theory craft for 1.2! 123k Cleave DPS!

how are you using a lvl 1 CWDT with lvl 20 gems linked to it? isnt there a max lvl on the gems linked to CWDT for them to work?

This build has been great for Nemesis now level 70. I can pretty much tank everything except those damn fire dogs pack and kill everything in 1 second. I stick to dual strike though as I'm not a fan of cyclone as I don't have a soul taker.

Was going with Dual strike until lvl 50, than a fried suggested trying blood magic.

Went with Cyclone + Blood magic + Life on hit + Melee phys. It did wonders for me. No mana problems, since you using life, crazy sustain and on top of that you can run both your auras right here and there.

I managed to pick up and decided I would try out a build like this using the Wings of Entropy. Probably with Dual Strike, not a big Cyclone fan.

Currently planning something like this:

Is there anything I could change to be better?

hey just another question

i saw that in the late-ish build you got 3 one-handed nodes

does that work if you are dual wielding?

can anyone confirm, sorry if its already posted before theres just too many pages to go through haha


thanks guys :)

dumb question here, why do we add the resolute technique node on the passive tree?

For starting out, should we use something like cleave until we get into the later levels like 40?

Since dual strike is a one target attack, leveling up with it would seem painful.

Thanks for the help!

Beta player just returning. I noticed in the guide that it says not to level the cast on damage taken gem, just the gems it enhances. Patch notes seem to indicate that the gem can only support gems that are equal or lower level now.

So is it best to level the cast on damage taken gem fully with the gems it supports now?

You use 2 one-handed weapons. Seems rather obvious.

What? Read the description. Missing hits sucks.

Maybe you should read the build and exactly what it does. Nothing is only a one target attack.

Equal or lower level requirement. You can level enduring cry/curses to level 5 with a level 1 cast on damage taken.
