What do you think about Death's Oath for this build? Extra AS and 5% life leech seems nice, but is it possible to deal with chaos damage?

And about meginord's girdle?

Girdle is a leveling item. Eventually you'll want a higher life belt with Chaos Res and armor. I think it's honestly a toss up between Wurm's Molt and Girdle for leveling..

Death's Oath takes away the focus of this build: the 7L Bringer. Even if you had a 6L Death's Oath, the lack of a life roll makes this worse than Bringer. Ultimately this item might be fun to try out but I don't think it wins against the Bringer in regular or hardcore. In Hardcore, this is also an extremely dangerous item that will require expensive additions as Chaos Res pieces with nice rolls are harder to find.

On the side note, an item I just picked up that I feel complements this build insanely well is the Death Rush (the cheap way to get Chaos Resistance.)

The 4% Life Leech means that I no longer need the Blood Drinker node and I can finally replace my Wurm's Molt with a decent Belt. Perfectly rolled, this item gives 32% Chaos Res which is insane and the bonus to kill is nice for even faster clearing.

PS: The Onslaught on kill helps greatly with Temp Chains map mod. :D

You can get up to 60% baseline phys resist and with a granite you can out heal the reflect.

Hey man! Awesome guide! I am kind of stuck in a rut with my 75 Duelist and I may give this a whirl. Couple questions for you, if you would indulge me!:

1) If you are running the Hatred Aura and Weapon Elemental Damage, do you think it would be worthwhile to try and get the Ice Bite node for another +30% weapon cold damage? I find it is in such an awkward place in the Duelist area though...what are your thoughts?

2) With respect to a sword specific build: Is it best to get as much attack speed as possible? You can squeeze about 18% more Attack speed (as well as +40 dex, +10 max life, and +4% movement speed) from the Ranger start area if you pass over the "dual wield block" nodes by Beserking and also lose 1-2 of the single point 10-12% damage nodes (or 4% attack speed nodes, or 1% regen node) by going for Aspect of the Panther and Weapon Artistry...you could even spend another 2 pts for +10% phys and another 8% IAS from Finesse...although the +20% accuracy bonus is useless with Res Tech. Either way, the 16% chance to block from passives remains the same, which is nice!

I'm not trying to be "that guy" who is like "Oh, I tweaked your build!" I just happened to have all of those ranger nodes in my current Duelist and found it to be an efficient little cluster even if you don't need the block chance...if you want/use the 4% block chance it becomes that much better.

Thanks for posting this guide! I really think it is going to give my Duelist new life...I had been running a pure phys power charge on crit build and it works well sometimes, but this seems so much simpler and so much FASTER!!! LOL. I need to see if I can get a BoR now!
Cheers!
