Frenzy / Cleave DW Duelist Build

hi fellas. i just want to know how good frenzy is compared to just using cleave on everything?

Isn't dual strike better in shingle mob fights?
Or even viper if they aren't as chaos resistant..

I need your advice for my duelist
i want to build similar duelist from you but ,, i want to run with Cold Style ( hatred ) instead of Anger ,, Is it work or not ??? Hated = gain 30% of HP ( Blood magic )
but anger is constant not over than 200

I changed Wallach's build just a bit, added more damage with swords and a few other things. I also took away the Cannot be stunned node, as I don't see too much advantage to it. What do you guys think?

That pretty much means you won't be able to run maps. Unless you have the unique with the same effect.

Yes, I actually learned quickly in Merciless how important this is.

Also, why Life Gain on Hit gem rather than Life leech? I feel like at higher levels, life leech would give you more return/hit. Am I wrong?

i have a noob question please care to answer.

Whirling Blades will not be leveled(left to lv 1) or should i raise it as high as i can?

thanks..

It will never deal enough dmg, its transport skill anyway, no need to lvl it.

I believe cleave is potentially the most powerfull single target skill in this game. With it attacking with bow weapon as an aoe with no "less damage".

This may be because Life Leech is not instant where as LGoH is instant.

passive reset is on the way, so maybe this is not worth mentioning, but still I want to.

the STARTING nodes, left 10% damage, right 6% IAS.
if you take the right path, as opposed to left path
RIGHT : 6 IAS, 4 ias, 4 ias, 6 dmg, 6 dmg = 14 ias, 12 dmg
LEFT : 10 dmg, 10 dmg, 4 ias, 4 ias, 6 dmg = 8 ias, 24 dmg

imo, the left path is better. you can always pick that 6 ias if you really want it.

Can someone please link to an updated version of this build with the new patch? I am very interested in it.
