[ 2.0 ] Vaal Pact Dual Claw Build Level 92 ( Atziri Viable + BOTW S: 2 EP: 9 )

It's 3:26 am here and I honestly was just too lazy to break it down in 20 point increments this evening :-P ... I do plan on doing that for everyone though with a full explanation of any orbs of regrets / passive skill refunds that may need to be used.

I went with the influence nodes for 1 party support and 2 I think I'll get more DPS by using them. Once I'm a higher level I will tinker around to find out if I should drop them off for some other standard dual wield DPS nodes.

Another thing I will have to add is that those looking to lower the HP pool can easily grab the Claw Leech nodes near the Shadow tree instead. I will make sure to add that to the original post above though ... I'm very tired and just trying to get another level before bed :-P

Enjoy work and we'll talk later I'm sure!

added a breakdown of the build in roughly 25 point increments. Also added a video of me doing a Vaal Pyramid run last night, level 68 map. Aside from the times I received some hardware lag I never went below 75% HP. DPS will increase as I come closer to level 80 and pick-up more of the nodes for it :-)

Enjoy

Cheers man, Even though I am still at work .. I might just quickly update it myself

I'll make it snazzy on sunday :)

Hey, so I stumbled upon your build, and I'm running it at level 28... but I'm noticing one little snag.

I'm really, really having a tough time getting strength for Melee Splash. I can't afford to level it past three right now simply because I don't have enough strength. In fact, I'm going to have to put a point into the 30-strength node near the beginning of the build for now just so that I can replace one of my rings.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

+30 stat nodes are cool. And worth the investment even if you never take them out afterwards.

I found it was easy to find a decent strength based belt or amulet to use while leveling. The only things you really should be caring about as leveling is +HP / +RES / +(what you need to use items/skill gems) ... DPS and so forth will come as you progress in level ..

I believe the only real purchase I made as I leveled was for 1 unique level 34(i think) claw .. I used that claw until I was well into my 50's as well. Can't remember if I just didn't find anything worth replacing it or I enjoyed the stats it provided.

Small update on my build .. I dropped the frenzy nodes and blood rage for right now. I'm not at a point where I need the extra leech or see a huge jump in DPS yet. As soon as I feel I'm DPS heavy, then I'll swap back over and will have 6 frenzy charges to work with.

Using Frenzy charges + Dual Strike doesn't seem to wield a crazy increase in DPS but may be something worth using IF you aren't running a Blood Seeker end-game. I plan on keeping 1 Blood Seeker with a 300+ dps claw if I can craft one ever :-) ..

Just wondering are you doing anything with power charge ?
