Did u test this out yet? I got one to Lvl 29 so far and it's pretty fun and really strong. I'm just worried it might fall off late game. And I'm a kinda new player so i don't know what gears to get. Could you update the guide with gears that we should get?

Added gear section.

I'm currently at level 40 since I'm leveling two characters at same time. I'm using frost blades (with faster attacks, added fire, chain) and a shield for leveling. I also use Blade Vortex for single target damage, since you can stack it to 10 with a small ramp-up time, but against moving bosses viper strike might be best solution.

Thanks so much. Am I the only one having problems with survivability? I die almost instantly , maybe because I'm not experienced with this game yet. Also could you keeper are the skill tree to which parts to Lvl first? What path should I take first? Also, attack speed doesn't affect blade vortex right? So why get it on dagger? Same for physical dmg. That's what some people told me ingame.

Following this now.

I've done a similar build and with the new talismans the coc builds are even easier to get going. Survivability is good with good flask management and life leech on Vaal pact.

Added shield variant tree (only one cluster, twin terrors changed)

Also added leveling tree that I use. I found it safer to go non-crit while leveling in HC so I can focus on putting points into life and damage instead of life, damage and crit.

Hi !

I'm trying a pure evasion Blade Vortex EK CoC build in talisman right now. Currently lvl74 and I just switch to CoC.
DPS is already good although I only reach 50% crit chance so far.
Due to my shitty items, survivability is however problematic at this stage. Fortify and Blasphemy + Enfeeble seem mandatory for me.
In your case, I fear the combo herald + CoH + curse will not proc enough, especially with a physical damage oriented build.
As your second curse, I really strongly recommend Enfeeble (or eventually Warlord's Mark, but Enfeeble is so good for any evsion build). You won't need more DPS but more survivability.

My character is a duelist. It's not the most efficient choice right now, but I think it will become really powerful with Ascendancy and the permanent fortify available in champion's subclass.

This is the skill tree I plan.

Whilst I personally have no opinion on the whole Armour vs. Evasion debate you first announce having survival issues, so claiming that Acrobatics/Evasion melee builds are fine comes off as rather ironic.

Read again, I bolded the part you miss :

And btw, I didn't think evasion is fine in its current state. Simply, pretending "having Evasion and Acrobatics as melee is stupid", is absolutely not correct.

LOL WHAT. This is why people rage at this game, there are others *cough cough* spreading false information like this.

Glass cannons are still very prevalent in HC, max res and immortal call do exist. Why wouldn't he talk about glass cannons along wtih defense? Do you think glass cannon means 0 defense or something? It's emphasis on damage and (in many cases) the ability to dodge attacks and/or kite instead of TANKING the hits lmfao. Which is kind of what HC is about.
