[1.2] THE KNOCKBACK REAVER (CASCADING REAVE STACKS WITH KNOCKBACK)

Amazing build, well done. I was looking for some inpiration for my dualist. And this is it :) . And i wonder which one, your max aoe or your first standard build is better, is is worth to sacrifice 28k dps for no doubt crazy aoe range. I think with caracass sure it is. But without these 20% from armor would it be still worthly?
this build looks real fun to me! but i cant afford a soul taker! ( like 60 ex )

is there any chance to make this build or similar without it?


anyone can give link to another build for reave?? i really wanna play a reaver duelist!

Haha, looks fun. Too bad i really dislike multistrike, it makes my character sound like a dummy on cocain :| Too bad there are very little if any melee builds that don't use multi, "strong" builds that is.

So your way to deal with reflect is quality IC + high armour?
hey casta.

just some minor point u migth wanna forecast for new ppl wanna try it. the gear requirements are extreme to optain ure performance.
the cost aswell.
to reach a solid high lvl meaning consistant running high maps with no deads. hard with thoes defences
the skill required to perform aswell..

just to point out that this build will not Work kindly vs any non poe vets.

cool and refreshing for shure.

JAUER!
Thanks for the feedback. I totally agree.
I just switched my laptop from a PC (Alienware 14) to macbook pro.
and the mac port of PoE made me miss PC even more :(

I will be forced to use my ancient desktop to play this beautiful game.
btw, your Reave guide is excellent. heading over there to bump it as we speak.

You are absolutely correct. It really is a dilemma, AOE versus tank.
But, in a way, having more AOE gives you more crowd control, and hence more eHP.

You don't need soultaker for this build if you have enough physical dps.
I would say, at least 900-1000 physical damage per hit would pretty much guarantee enough mana return from mind drinker alone. If you have more mana leech on gear, then even better.

soultaker is mainly for pvp, where pre-emptive attacks help a lot. But, in pve, not only is pre-emptive attacks not required, but you have multiple targets from whom to leech mana.

When I face reflect map, I change gems. For example, crit damage gets swapped for PCOC.
And melee phys gets swapped for life leech.

But in general, immortal call is enough. Back when I was 250k pure physical unbuffed dualstrike, i would 1shot myself before immortal call. Reave with max aoe (i.e. no concentrated effect) is no where near that damage.
