Official Blender Post! Lets theory craft for 1.2! 123k Cleave DPS!
" It's one of the first things we looked at when patch 1.1 dropped and the consensus is that taking that line is better then completely wasting a point on mana because without starting the right hand line attack speed in particular is completely crippled. How you rearrange your tree accordingly is up to you. |

You could just play your tree out as is until you get better equipment at which point you should be looking to change it anyways for more life/mitigation and less damage.

Very impressive vid!
That 8.2k life... Can I ask what the tooltip dps on your atziri setup is? I need to have a benchmark for my own build before I attempt her So many strikes within one breath.
But only one strike needed, for certain death. |

w. hatred the tooltip dps reads slightly over 17k, the actual dps is, of course, >34k. as you can see, i have minor trouble clearing the adds with this sort of dps but it's acceptable.

some stuff i'd like to point out:
-it's good to, like, run melee damage on full life during the add phase; i would never try to do it this way vs uber with this weapon setup :) -flameblast is a big deal but not fatal once you reach a certain life pool; with proper mitigation (namely, flask) it basically should never kill you so you need not move out of the way of it -with 8293 life i have 2384.76 regeneration/second vs single target while attacking (leech+lgoh+passive regen); this is how i can situationally stand in the way of small flameblasts and 1-2 lightning strikes -i only have 30% movespeed in this vid and when i choose/need to i can easily evade via whirling blades/manual movement. more is not needed in my opinion. |

fun fact: with a tooltip cyclone of 7694 (15388 actual) you cannot clear the adds fast enough and atziri will therefore stay perpetually at 50% life after every add phase. i learned this by having forgotten to swap out my IIR and IIQ gems. hopefully this is useful information for somebody :) thankfully it didn't get me killed or anything but if you try this fight with around 15k, you will almost certainly fail. once i realized my error and swapped into damage gems she died very quickly.

Nearly finalised my alternate blender setup.
Equipment
Screencaps
 The damage value was made with both melee phys and melee on full life gems. The dps changes to 21k when i take damage, this is still pretty powerful but not ideal. When i have obtained a 20/20 weapon elemental gem, the dps should sit between 25-27k and stay there.
Plans for the build
The next step will be to upgrade from the Doryani, my plan is to get a 400+pdps weapon. This will allow me to respec passives away from dps and become life based enough for Atziri. So many strikes within one breath. But only one strike needed, for certain death. Last edited by fiqst#3681 on May 19, 2014, 2:28:12 AM
