Sean's DW Blood Tanky DPS

I just checked your build a bit and noticed something that hasnt been said in the comments,
its not match but it makes a smaal difference.
On the top left after 1h attack speed u put 2x +10 str and 6 all res.

Your build:

But u can take those 3 points out and put on bottom right 1x +10 dex, 6 all res and +30 str with this u gain 10 more str and 10 more dex.

I've ran this build in hardcore and it performed very well... until level 50, where my downfall was a huge lagspike against oversoul on cruel. I kept playing through A3 anyhow, and made it to merciless like it was a joke. Dual strike is ridiculously strong. Blood rage is fun as well.

Thanks for the great advice man!

I really liked Valkor's 3rd build, however I made a slight adjustment. I took out the dex and 6% resist elements from below and to the right of the Duelist starting area and added them to the specific-resist nodes to the left of the marauder starting area. Really loving playing this build so far, big thanks to Sean, Valkor, and all involved.

Net gain from Valkor's Build:
9% lightning resist
9% cold resist

Net loss:
-10 dex
-6% fire resist (still 15% higher than the other two elemental resists)

I haven't read all of the pages on this post, noticing you run Molten Armor. I am level 43 dueling and I'm going to be running a very similar build and I just replaced molten armor with the +armor aura. Do you find yourself using molten armor for the aoe damage? If not, is there a reason you don't just swap to the constant +armor aura?

Great build man. I'm still pretty low level but I'm loving it so far!
Got a question though. I noticed you recommend both Frenzy and Blood Rage which both generate frenzy charges. Do you use them both or just one?

Frenzy for single target fights and Blood Rage for mobs clears. Although i don't really use Blood Rage that much anymore.

I don't like the mana reserve, since I use Blood Magic it destroys my health pool.

Probably been asked already but what gear stats do you focus on? armor and dex?
