You solod normal to merciless with +142% to hp, 1.5% hp regen and 15% to all resists from passive tree as a melee? No grouping to outlevel content, no spamming a ranged spell. This must have been the most tedious experience ever D:.

Im impressed.

IT was actually quite fun save for a few areas. I described experience in detail in the guide (act/zone section)

p.s How do you not instantly die to volleys of arrows, arc, chaos aura, chaos snake packs of
10+ in act 3, boob tentacle machine gun girls, leap slam, flicker strike, suicide bombers, detonate dead, kraityn in general, gravicius, fire and poison bombs, flicker-discharge, charges and rolling rock enemies?

You should be getting insta killed on any of those with those stats, how did you do it? Or did it just take such an amount of time and tedium that its not really worth it?

Again if you read the guide its all there :)

For TL:DR folks: you dodge ranged channels with flicker strike. You dodge roas/suicder (etc) with skellies/decoy totem/whirling blades. Acts are actually quite easy

а где тут русская ветка ?

Its debatable .Evasion is not really all that good. Late game its relatively garbage whethere you have 100%, 150% or 200% because of diminishing returns. What you need to do is stack HP and duelist/block can do a bit better than ranger. At the end of builds though both tree would look identical

Hmm... interesting build.

As a noob in this game I thought ele res gained from passives & quest should be much greater than a mere 15%.
How that adds up? Different sents of jewelry to handle that?
Also, no point in Crystal Skin (15% element effect avoid). 75% ele res is enough?

And... how evasion scales? I see you completely forego armor to favor eva/dodge which seems a bit risky - if something hits, it hits hard.

One more thing. As I see your int is way below what even hatred needs to level up. Again, stack int from equipment, or... wheres the magic?

If it hits you hard it hits you hard in armour as well. Main issue is evasion gets really shat on because you get less and less evade chance from gear ,not because evade chance is bad for defence. I used to have almost 50% evade chance , can barely get 30% now. With blind and enfeeble things can barely hit u and you can lifesteal between the hits as long as you survive that one big hit

Really only good stat which doesnt get shat on is block - you have 37% .its 37% no matter what lvl you are. That and of course HP

End game so far main issue with the build is not enough HP. you need have 5-6k HP+ 6 endurance charges min if you want be melee end game. Armour/evasion do not matter at all. what matter is endurance charges

Yeah I dont level gems beyound their requirment ,though that didnt prevent hatred from hitting lvl16, here is my equip btw:

Thank you, the item setup is a great addition, but what you said about the end charges confuse me a bit.
6 charges... get 2 from passives and 1 from quest?
This means that even this build fails? :) (I'm still at 32, no end game experience yet.)
Or get them from a support templar?

Seems that late game is a bit gimped overall. Way biased, not much room for glass cannons and so...

I am going to make one big last update with end game strats and stats - a lot of things are different for end game

Ur DPS is impressive.

Do you mind posting your gears for our references? Thanks OP!

I thought about making a full guide of my own, but instead I'll use your thread to throw out a little alternative to your ways. Ninjaing because I too play DW swords Duelist, main difference being me taking IR+US. Its nothing unusual, but I thought Id share it.

Passive Skill Tree

Active skills:
1) Dual Strike: Faster Attacks + Melee Physical Damage + Added Fire Damage
2) Grace
3) Cleave: Faster Attacks + Melee Physical Damage + Concentrated Effect
4) Warlord's Mark
5) Viper Strike: Faster Attacks + Increased Duration
6) Molten Shell
7) Enfeeble
8) Bear Trap: Added Fire Damage + Added Cold Damage
Flasks are 2x instant recovery+chill dispell heals, Granite+armor and 2 resist flasks, most commonly chaos+lightning.

I only picked up Enfeeble yesterday, was doing fine without it, but it made killing map-Piety a bit faster.
Also I dont play hardcore (not worth it with my connection), but the only death reason for me was careless play and/or lags. Some maps can be a bit tricky (50% reduced recovery for example), but other than that Im soloing everything easily. At times stacking Viper Strike during Molten Shell+Flask is required, but its not too annoying for me.
