[1.0.x - NEM/HC] The Dreidellete - The Spinning Budget Scion
Hi everyone, I made this build with some inspiration from other duelist spinning builds. The only issue with their build was: the price. Their builds relied on bringer of rains (7+ ex) and expensive shields. I decided,to hell with it, I'm going self-found and whatever gear I find I'm going to use (until I find a bringer myself of course!). This build was originally done with a Duelist, but can also be done with a Scion! I'm actually rolling a Scion with this build atm! ○ Pros: " ○ Cons: " ○ Gems/Linking: " ○ Bandit Rewards: " ○ Leveling: " ○ Skill tree: " ○ Frequently Asked Questions 1. How come you aren't using Facebreakers?
Spoiler
• I have 3 pairs in my stash. I think they're boring, and using a Bringer of Rain & Facebreakers means that your Double Strike damage will take a hit - cyclone is a very strong ability - but double strike is better for fighting single monsters (i.e. rares,uniques, bosses) especially in no regeneration maps. Each time you cast cyclone, around 240 of your health goes away. That means you need to hit your target 6 times in order to get that amount of health back (level 18 life gain on hit). You're probably not going to hit that 1 single target for 6 times, and you'll actually be losing life. Double strike with Multistrike and Life Leech linked lets you afk click single targets (bosses especially). 2. How come you have Unwavering Stance in your tree? Cyclone prevents you from being stunned?
Spoiler
• Desync can happen at any time, and it can happen anywhere. This build was creating for surviving through Nemesis, where anything can kill you (SURPRISE!). There's been times where I lose half of my half just because 4-5 desynced skeleton rhoas charge me from half the map away. I'd rather not take the chance. When you do get a Bringer of Rain, then maybe it's worth speccing out of Unwavering Stance as it does not stack with the Blind. ○ Testimonials: " Last edited by Mallet on Dec 2, 2013, 10:47:58 PM
