Play as Rigwald - Dual Strike Savagery/Command
|
Hello all! Wanted to share a (hopefully?!) original build that I created this past weekend based on the unique weapons dropped by Rigwald. If there is interest in this build, I will update this guide w/ screenshots of DPS, MTX and gear. If you would like to see Rigwaldina in action, I stream at twitch.tv/dzjustin on weekends and a bit on some weeknights around work and parenting.
 Check it out here: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/dzjustin/characters including the current skill tree @ level 79. View the "full build" skill tree: Goals 1 - Cosplay as Rigwald. 2 - Achieve high synergy between skills. 3 - Cost less than an exalt to get going (strong, but room for improvement). The expenses are Taste of Hate, 6L instead of Bringer and unfortunately the Savagery/Command prices, even identified, seem to have gone up. TL;DR * A little over 70k tooltip DPS w/ auras, charges and flasks up, wearing Abyssus. * 4.8k health so far w/ Abyssus. We also have leech, good block chance and Iron Reflexes. * Tooltip does not include bleed and poison damage. Enemies bleed on hit, then have a 25% chance to be poisoned on hit while bleeding. At our attacks-per-second, this is basically guaranteed bleed and poison. In addition, the tree gives us 70% increased DOT and 20% increased duration (which also increases Blood Rage, Temporal Chains and Immortal Call duration). Temporal Chains also prolongs the bleed and poison effects. Synergytcaular! * Dual Strike, because we need to attack w/ both weapons to achieve synergy. Unfortunately, this means no Reave. Luckily, Melee Splash was buffed and feels less horrible.  Required Gear Rigwald's Command - http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Rigwald%27s_Command Rigwald's Savagery - http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Rigwald%27s_Savagery You must use both of them. Links
Spoiler
Bringer mode: Dual Strike + Melee Splash + Multistrike + Added Fire/Life Leech Chest mode: Dual Strike + Melee Splash + Multistrike + Melee Physical Damage + Faster Attacks + Added Fire/Life Leech We also use: * Hatred * Herald of Ash * Flame Golem * Whirling Blades * Leap Slam * CWDT + Immortal Call + Increased Duration + Temporal Chains Jewels
Spoiler
You want Jewels that have your preferred/affordable combination of the following: * 1H Phys, but not weapon-type specific * 1H Attack Speed, but not weapon-type specific * Max Life * Block/Spellblock (including DW variants) * Increased DOT I've underlined the jewel mods that can result in less expensive jewels. Because we use two weapon types, we want generic phys/aps to buff both of them. And the DOT mod seems to make melee jewels cheaper, which we're fine with. Bandits
Spoiler
Oak, Kraityn, Kraityn Improvements
Spoiler
* - (Optional) Good corrupted Asenath's Touch for better Temporal Chains uptime? * - (Optional) Fit Rigwald's Crest into the build for wolf-generation. Style points! Hardcore?
Spoiler
I don't recommend a melee ranger in Hardcore, generally. I'm looking at you, Daresso. But the build gets a lot of health and uses IR, so it should be viable. I would recommend a Reave build like Zizaran's, however, as you get to attack at a greater distance. Last edited by dzjustin#4399 on Jan 25, 2016, 1:58:09 PM Last bumped on Sep 11, 2016, 10:26:14 AM

Updated DPS after grinding some Tropical Islands. Added a vanity pic of the current Bringer Moose Mode and a pic of the Dual Strike tooltip w/ Taste, Promise and 5 Frenzy Charges (max, at least for a few more levels).

" Ranger is not the base for Rigwald sadly. Champion or Gladiator are clearly the basis. Glad as pre-wolfman. Champion as post wolfman. Lacerate is also the clear skill of choice now. Literally, works with only axe/sword. its MADE for savagery/command. most of the nodes on stats/gear are still relevant. http://poeplanner.com/AAMAAVhBQU1FQWlBQWZia2RGZXlLOE1TQ3NLdS1wMlZOdlRaSGZvVFpZRUZqY0JIVlY1ZERNZHJCZE8wRkxYcnZMbFBUYjdfVlU3dkRNMW9hUko0aFlNR0wyNmNKV05QOGdVRTE3enJ0VFA5T0tpUFRqMkJicncyTmgzYmpuMHA5X01XM0Y0RGg0bDQ0bGhYMllua0FCdTRPbzRvajlrMlNqWDJ4c3h1dEJMRjdGQXh6bFdZRGg5Ti1mWFgtdWlTZFlscHhzTWp3TUh4UlI0Ml9Yb3ZkNTRPOUJiWEM3TFRGMi1kSEJ0RFF6LW5yanBQOExnZy16NzNtTjlUdFAxNFQ3MDVoVXNWVDNESkllSkxRRXVGaXJHeU1uYW9NOHFYTEZIVVkyeTRqazVtN251M1hCbkJPbjNwX05qM3JZN1ZJQlR4QW9BNUR6VjhHaXlEamt2ZjRBbF9hQ2lZPQAQQUFBQ0FBZlFBUUgwQVFBQQAA 62 block/spellblock.
