Twin Terrors:DW/Evasion (ele and phys versions). solo run complete. Detailed guide! 10.2 updates

So was that link the base build? Just without the extra hp or damage?

O no I cant see the skill tree anymore its not loading up properly. Is it me or just the skill reset?? BTW love the build GJ.

Yeah the skill trees are messed up for me too

Yes, with the last update the duelist tree changed, so links to previous tree's won't work anymore, OP will have to update using new tree...which I'll watch for, this is similar to the direction I'm going so i would like to see their take on it too.

Big update guys!

more updates in gear section

I only skimmed through the build but I noticed you had blind on cleave....I just can't agree with that at all. Cleave primarily you use on trash mobs if you're standing next to them and cleaving them they should not be alive long enough for blind to do anything positive for you. Blind + Viper Strike seems cool on bosses, however there's very limited amount of bosses it'll actually be helpful for. Though I would like to know if it would help against Brutus(Map Version).

I also don't believe you would survive in higher level map with this build.

I've trying to figure out the reasoning behind you getting twin terrors? I just can't find a way to justify "crit builds" for Axes/Swords.

I refuse to read the whole thing, I only skimmed.

Blind +cleave was mostly for leveling with subpar gear. Blind+x is generally for leveling . For maps I rarely use it because I have only 4 link gear and i need dps. I think blind is very underrated and is really what can make soloing acts with garbage gear relatively easy for melee (such as in race or HC environment)

Well i solo maps right now with this build . In groups its even easier . I Have 4.4k Hp atm.

It is though not the best possible melee build. I think ele cleave templar is probably strongest because it doesnt have weakness to elemental damage

well its phys build. Phys builds do damage with crit. twin terrors branch is one of most efficient DPS branches out there. Even if was making ele cleave version of duelist I still would probably take it for crit since you dont take resolute technique (well you can , but why go duelist and not templar in this case?).If you make phys dmg build you must get crit i think. On crit you proc hatred freeze and shock as well as ignite


BTW your cleave is 19k? Really? Is it ele cleave? with what links? I think maybe with concentrated effect some ele cleave could possibly hit those numbers with insane gear but still havent seen actual setup which does it

very helpful guide, thank you for sharing

question on your updated build. your initial post after the update included more blocking which is missing with the updates you posted to the main page, especially taking Blade Barrier.

why the change of mind? an additional 6% blocking should scale up better than a bit more armor or possibly even 1 or 2 life nodes, wouldn't it?

Well because immortal call becomes main tool of mitigation vs truly dangerous enemies. Blocking is great - dont get me wrong , but then again it doesnt save you from 4k crits when the do come . Against trash packs enfeeble/granite/evasion flasks are enough. Really phys dmg is not my main concern . Its ele dmg which is the bottleneck . Which I frankly dont have answer for.

I might redo my end game once again to try out DPS version - though this is far far far out as I need tons and tons of gear ( I need 5l, I need maligaros, I need QL gems, I need better weapons) .

Zeldoon post (well to be honest his signature about cleave dps :) ) inspired me to look into how high can I go with my build. I think 15k is reachable but sadly requires insane amount of orbs.
