[2.3] "Vulcan's Exemplar" Crit Dual Strike Slayer with Bino/Catalyst by fiqst
|
Viable build w/o acuity and a 6l ? i guess w/o a 6l should be ok you will lose dps from faster attacks but still ok

" Thanks very much for those kind words. I made this build to have fun and involves lots of button mashing (whirling-flicking-melting) and its very exciting. " When i get used to the playstyle (coming from cyclone), i will definitely start investigating other equipment and budgets, much the same way i did with Cyclonus. This is a start: 5L: RRRRB molten melee phys added fire multi Buffed with Grace and Ash, no charges 102k with a 5 link and inexpensive gear  A friend followed cyclonus with bino+snakebite with good success so i think thats something i'd like to try with this build. So many strikes within one breath.
But only one strike needed, for certain death. | |

" Good: 1) Nice clear speed 2) Good single target dps 3) Dagger use allows for quicker movement with Whirling Blades (better than leap slam). Neutral: 1) Uses Blood Rage. 2) Uses flicker for power charges and movement. Bad: 1) Easy map mods. Can it do -max resist? Reflect map? Blood magic? 2) 4.4k life with. Saw you almost get 1-shot twice. 3) Abyssus' more physical damage taken. How often do you die to being 1-shot or to reflect (especially if no Atziri's Acuity)? Please corret me if I'm wrong, but you seem to rely heavily on Acuity. ign crixus_sabr Last edited by litesabr on Oct 15, 2014, 10:09:09 AM

From his other build, without acuity you have to use lightning coil. Before 1.2 and when belly became substantially more powerful, he used LC even with the god gloves.
Though I do wonder how you have only 4.5k life while using belly. For me being able to run blood rage is a huge plus. As for the almost dying, I think that is because with proliferation you aren't really attacking all the time and getting constant leech. For try, for see, and for know.
This is a buff | |
" Good points, thank you. 1) Max resist is fine as long as i slow things down. Depending on reflect mod i replace either melee phys or added fire with a LGoH gem. Blood magic requires a different playstyle since i'd drop ash and grace. 2) 4.4k is fine for me, 4.8 if i drop ming's. I have 90+ crit chance so maintaining mana and life are no problem as long as i'm hitting things. In these video i am especially aggressive for the sake of entertainment but if i were serious, i wouldn't take on so many foes at once and risk getting shotgunned. 3) I use Abyssus with belly and acuity because my crit chance is high enough that i can usually out-leech damage. Otherwise i would only use abyssus with a coil. I do rely heavily on acuity, and i have built around the gloves as focal point. If i didn't have these gloves, this build would be completely different. For instance, i would not use abyssus without a coil and I would not use ming's heart. I made this build to be faster than your average melee, thats why i flicker into groups and blow things up with abyssus. Any build is hardcore viable if you slow-play things and kite. This is a alternative/defensive setup:

" I'm preety sure elemantal weakness is better damage-wise in most cases, but more leech is an argument (idk if u really need it with ur dmg). | |
|
Damage wise it's better, no doubt.
To me, it's about balancing physical and ele damage to deal with reflect. The more physical leeching I can do the better and it protects me against ele reflect. It's also the main reason I use blood rage. So many strikes within one breath.
