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

the BoR still worth to use????? even with the 12 faster attack and lvl 6 blind? and not lvl 18...
at the momento i use one boot with cwdt with endurecy cry , immortal call and increase duration ,
and another cwdt in my helmet with zombies , decoy totem and frost wall. i can get really tank with that. and warlord curse for endurance charge and life and mana leach. i am using reave skill in my 5l chest with faster attack , multistike ,melle physical dmg , increase area effect , i am hiiting 10k.. and dual stike for 1 mod , with life leach added fire dmg and melle physical dmg i am hitting 16k.

having 5k life, 8.5k dps (grace + determination) but i feel that i cannot progress post merc content (lvl 70ish maps, elemental mobs, vaal dungeons.

cant afford a soul taker atm, has mana issues with BOR. is it normal ? So is soul taker a must if you "7 link" your dual strike / cyclone.

Also, does the build work well on the new vaal dungeons ? I almost got one shot by the catacomb vaal dungeon boss (huge skeleton dude using heavy strike?)

Do i go for higher dmg > higher leech (maybe vaal pact)?

any pros pls advise.. cannot tank later bosses anymore.

Hey guys, im still a newbie in poe. Currently, im level 57, doing 4k+ dps, 1.8k hp, 6k+ armor(with grace on). Anyone know how should i proceed further on to improve my hp? I strongly feel that my hp is relatively low at this level.. I had finished merciless act 1 halfway through.

Any experienced players willing to give some tips or suggestions?

First off I want to say this guide is amazing. I made my first character with this and I have no regrets.

Now my concerns are with my individual passive tree build and gear. I don't really know what to upgrade now.

I probably won't ever be able to afford a Soul Taker though I will be able to upgrade to a legacy BoR if I save up enough currency. But the question is whether or not to go for a BoR or a 6L. My current DPS with cyclone is only 9k; with Dual Strike it's 19k.

But here's the gear I'm currently using and my passive tree:

I believe with your gear you can achieve higher DPS－just swap one non-essential gem in the chest with a concentrated effect.
With legacy BoR my level 70 deulist has 12k DPS with cyclone (with hatred).

By looking at your 5L chest, I think you can easily swap Blind or Life gain on hit - Blind is just a sweetener from the BoR, which you will do just fine without; Life gain on hit is useful on high level maps, but you may get life leech from jewels very easily (3-4% without problem).

Tryed this build, pretty fun must say!

Now mooving on different char. So if any1 need my BoR let me know.

Do want.

Do not have 5ex. :(

Hi I just found this sword on ambush.

Should I make a blender?

a 343 phys would work well with a blender build, yes.

After playing around a bit more on high maps (doing double dominus @ residence twice, notably) I've decided to respec into this at level 92:



The reasons for my respec are many fold. The first reason is that I feel that with two armor keystones, the armor/life hybrid nodes from the marauder path of life, and the life/armor nodes south of resolute technique, I just had too much armor for my liking. Although it's inefficient, I just think that stacking life once you get 40k+ AOE dps is prudent, and in line with this philosophy, I've taken the ancillary templar area life cluster.

You could argue that efficiency should be the goal with this build but I think that mentality doesn't take into account just how much easier it is to die now - I'm an ambush player (who mostly plays standard) and if I feel uncomfortable at times on high maps I can't imagine how guys in invasion feel with damage builds as compared to stacking alot of life as I have.

Frankly speaking, I think that if you play an efficiency build you run the risk of simply not having enough life to manage what comes with high maps - desync killing you in 4 seconds; multiple projectiles academy boss, double crematorium boss, soul conduit fracture, vulnerability/added damage/fracture, and so on. The only real benefit that the blender has gotten from this new tree is the capability to stack alot of life - everything else is worse (well, arguably, we can take more damage as well, but I don't think anyone doing high maps with this build in the previous patch had damage problems - I know for sure that I didn't).

I have no set plan for the remaining 8 points. I might stack life or take damage or both. I might prioritize berserking or not. Frankly speaking I'll need to see how it feels playing with 6.8k life and "only" 41.6k dps. With a full damage build I'm pretty sure I could get close to 60k but I think that grabbing all of this life is the only safe way to play this build, now that GGG has blessed us with the option. Soul conduit, fracture, double bosses, vulnerability - there are so many ways to die now in addition to the ones which were present before. This is my working solution.
