[2.3]WEIGHT OF THE SPANISH EMPIRE---Six Digit NON-CRIT DPS!(mb 7!)
 *doomsower sword + lvl 16~ gems, 5 frenzy, taste of hate, atziri flask, vaal haste, blood rage, lion roar HOLA Y BIENVENIDOS AMIGOS This is for those who want to dominate, on a budget (but this can also be a very expensive build if you invest in best gear!). NON-CRIT(BUT NOT RT) VERSION (six digit dps, cheap to gear, easy to level)

ATTACK SKILL> HEAVY STRIKE, YEAH BABY!

WHY IS THIS BUILD SO GOOD? Well the tooltip dps is easily six-digits without the 62% chance to do double damage. But even more important is that you have 100% knockback which is AMAZING with voidheart ring (because bleed + Move!) In other words, the dps of this build with doomsower is easily 600k~ and with an even better weapon, say atziri disfavor, it is quite possibly into the seven digits! CONS NO WHIRLING BLADES? YEAH, FUCK ME RIGHT? WRONG. Leap slam with this gear + faster attacks is SUPER fast!

FAQ What about reflect?
Spoiler
Slayer gets -50% reflect dmg. Fortify. Endu charges + CWDT IC. If you're playing an actual reflect map simply turn off heralds (if elemental) or replace melee phys with phys to lightning on phys ref map.
LEVELING STRATS I recommend using any of the numerous unique 2h weapons to boost yourself, i.e. geofries, rigwalds, etc. Follow the tree to pick up all of the jewel nodes for weight of the empire jewels (4) first, so that you're at 40% to double damage asap. Get a 5L as soon as you can (should be pretty easy..) and make your first ascendency IMPACT then go to headsman. pick up endless hunger after uber izaro. Your 5L would be Heavy strike > melee phys > multi strike > faster > weapon ele run hatred and herald of ash. VIDEOS Just a quick alch+vaal on a t11 Springs to show sloppy play: http://plays.tv/s/KrV-euYPynPM the three phases of Uber izaro for 7/2 . total run about 8 minutes or something. playing sloppy today. Also keep in mind gems are lvl 17 with 20 quality in these videos. rip -Phase 1 http://plays.tv/s/KrV8xrsexwXS -Phase 2 http://plays.tv/s/KrV9A39Zs6QS -Phase 3 http://plays.tv/s/KrV9GQlSjTEk Alternative builds could be to do RT and drop many of the dmg/accuracy nodes and get more HP. Crit version-much more expensive to gear and less raw hp, but more dps!

 *hegemony era + level 17 gems~ pots+bloodrage+5 frenzy+onslaught (no vaal haste) Gear changes
Spoiler
This version LOSES 1 weight of empire jewel, reducing it to 52% - while the other version can have 62% for double dmg. However it gains block chance (supplemented with rumi's flask) Tree changes VIDEO

So for leveling... any recommendations? I can kind of piece together an idea, but I've never even gotten close to reaching the currency needed to reach your endgame gear (I get bored of meta builds and make way to many alts).
I'm super impressed by it being off meta and would gladly give it a try after I grind out currency on my Obliterate witch. Last edited by mezzer25 on Jun 30, 2016, 9:32:25 PM

Looks cool. Wish I had a Voidheart in stash to test.
| |
|
I just scribbled out some leveling stuff.. nothing too intricate.. just level.

Thank you, it was all I needed, gave me some direction. I take it the aoe comes from the massive herald overkill hits?
| |
" Well Herald of Ash does have aoe, but the slayer node IMPACT gives single target skills implicit splash. That is the whole point. |
|
|
Hi, noob question, but can you see the chance for HS to deal double damage in anywhere in the Character tab?
| |
" Not that I know of but they are all additive. So in my case it is 52% |
|
|
some updates/changes made to guide--quick video added just to showcase what it looks like when i play hungover and not caring.
