Mezzofortissimo's Reave Scion [Update 4: 12/15]
|
Hey guys, this is my build, theory-crafted from the ground up. It's really simple, has great damage, and is super fun to play. It's fairly cheap to gear, you really only need 2 uniques, and they should cost you maybe 2 exalt total. The Aegis Aurora is a bit more expensive, but by no means required for this build to work, and I'm not sure how much Alpha's are going for currently. I am playing this build on standard, but it would work just fine on any of the hardcore leagues. If you have any questions post here and I will answer!

Nice build! I will try this when the new patch hits the server and report back.
On a side related note legacy Rainbowstriders and Alphas Howl will cost far more than 2 exalted. I am offline or not responding in game ??? PM me.

Awesome, I'd love to hear how it goes for you!
Oh right right, I had these before open beta ended. Legacy uniques aren't really required, but they're nice to have. Also, edited to include my lack of knowledge of the price of alpha's these days :P Last edited by ndcheezit on Dec 9, 2013, 9:39:15 PM

I think you're better off with this, as it gets you Nullification with the dual ES/EV nodes, which is better than the ES circle as it gives you the same amount of ES or more per node, as well as the EV on top of it. Not to mention Beserking down by the Duelist tree is a tempting node to pick up. Last edited by Shepardj on Dec 9, 2013, 10:27:33 PM

I have a similar build reave build with dagger, However I sit at 4.5k health with bor and has double your damage w/o auras. It from crits with daggers.
I really think you could be saving yourself alot of trouble if you just went with life. There are actually more life than es node next to your current path. | |

@Shepardj I only have my phone on me for now but ill check out that tree tomorrow, and yes, the attack speed nodes look very tempting, but I think I'd rather put the 4 points to get those, into block instead, which is sitting at just under 50% at the moment.
@Uro2 So essentially, it sounds like you're just running a different build than me, which utilizes different items/weapons/uniques, but happens to share the same main attack? If I could afford a BoR, I would buy one and make a flicker strike build, but for now I'm using what I have :) |
