2.0.3 1mhc flaskback lvl 98+ DW reave - rank 15 casualrangertwentysixth

So I only heard bad things about this build and hc. But it honestly works pretty decent. I won't say that coil+armour is overrated because I did have my fair share of close calls (Excavation boss op!). But as long as you don't straight up die in 1 hit, then evasion feels very solid.

My gear
Spoiler



Crit multi is for 6l, added fire is slightly more tooltip, however it will make ele reflect semi sketch, faster attacks is also a decent alternative.

I didn't take the shadow power charge because I'm almost critcapped with 4 charges due to crit enchant on amulet, and a diamond ring. Without neither, a pair of maligaro's gloves would give roughly the same. I also need the int nodes for the increased aoe gem + it gives me access to another 2 point jewel.


Defense/offense
Spoiler
I know the tooltip is not 100% correct, but something to compare to at least. I'm honestly not sure how to calculate it, at least not with the crit

Casual thoughts
Spoiler
The core items for this build is Bino's, soul taker, and a 5l daresso's.
All of them relatively cheap during start of a new league. At least on hc, since almost no one uses those items anymore there. I saw bino prices dropping from 2ex to 10c, soul takers sold for 1-1,5ex early in the league. And daresso chest is 3-5c decent rolled unlinked.
It works decent with less gear, and until you get a 5l, you can just put fortify on your whirling blades. I pretty much started of with 0 currency after ripping at like 62 so. Only leveling item I ever bought was some random lvl 30ish dagger similar dps to mightflay, since uniques always cost so much at the beginning.

When leveling I picked up the ranger dualwield/one handed dps nodes and went for the duelist tree first. In hindsight, rushing dagger nodes might have been better since I didn't get all of them until like lvl 73ish.

I tried a 6l belly and carcass at some point. The belly honestly didn't even feel that good. Carcass was very solid, but it really does suck giving up the daresso. It kind of gives you everything you want, and going back to spamming enduring cry every 5th second is annoying. Also doesn't help that you need to change your gear setup, since you need to blood magic the enduring cry.

With god tier gear, and some help from jewels, getting ele weakness capped with lightning coil "should" be possible, but I just gave up. League was kind of dying, so not too many new items, even old good ones the seller didn't log on. Could pick up cloth and chain in duelist area to help out with capping for coil. You can also drop molten shell, which will make 115 strength the minimum cap.

Taste of hate should be prioritized above getting 6l, it's way too good to pass up. You can facetank Haast and Abaxoth pretty easy with it up. Careful with the bow guy though, he's sketchy.

I use soul taker over death's hand mainly because I really do hate going out of mana. There's obviously lots of more good stuff about it such as more gem slots, cold res, chilling, 3 extra skill points, but the mana is really just the main reason.

I tried out vaal grace, but I much rather just use vaal reave and keep it up during sketchy situations and staying max range rather than rolling the dice, even though the odds may favour me. It serves both as a good offensive and defensive tool.

Never tried phys reflect maps even though I've seen other reave specs do them at okay clearspeed. Ele reflect is not a big deal at all. Your hp will spike a bit in 79+ maps since the reflect roll is higher, but if you just chill and either don't vaal reave, or simply replace hatred with grace and you will be completely fine. At least if you use binos since regen op.

When looking for jewels there's lots of combos you can use. Area, onehanded, dualwield, dagger, global, but try to get dw crit multi/phys damage/attack speed since a lot of people sell them cheap since they're not fotm.

Very interesting, can you explain your setup before you got your soul taker? Did you use a shield or just another pDPS dagger?


I used http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Relentless_Fury that I bought for 1c, cleaved with it until I could add multistrike to reave. Used it until merciless dried lake when I farmed for a cheap soul taker, then bought a daresso's chest after.

Thx, yeah reave is super solid atm. Depending on buffs/nerfs into the next Talisman hc league, I will probably try to make a hybrid reave similar to trytoreave's build, but with a dagger. Unless there's huge changes ofc :)
