[2.5] Super Fast Claw Blade Flurry Raider

Hey girls and boys,

I want to play a melee raider next league and I tried to find a build for Blade Flurry.

Can you please check if this might work?

Lv 89 Tree

Offense

The idea is to stack IAS and Frenzy Charges and scale phys damage. With the Raider buff we basically ALWAYS have full frenzy charges (8 in this case). 8 frenzy charges give additional
58% IAS
32% MORE Damage
24% increased Attack Damage
(and 32% increased evasion).

With the rest of the build we have
102% IAS
20% MORE IAS (from ancestral protector)
40% IAS and 40% damage from Onslaught
(+ some chaos, elemental, crit and crit multi)

IAS calculation:
Increased = 58 + 102 + 40 + 44 (IAS support gem) = 244% IAS
MORE = 20% + 60% (from Blade Flurry gem)
Summary = 3,44 * 1,2 * 1,6 = 660% Increased Attack Speed!

Attacks per Second:
A Imperial Claw with 1,6 base speed and no local IAS would give us 12,16 attacks per second. Now remember that we can still get
- quality on IAS gem
- local IAS on the weapon
- IAS on the jewels
- IAS on your rings and gloves
- IAS on other items (uniques, like 16% on Devotos)

So we can get up to 14,5+ attacks per second, so we get 362,5 hp per second per enemy (assuming we hit 100%) and we didnt even apply our 1,6% leech with 45% increased leech.

Defense

The build has 182% increased life
313% inc. evasion
25% inc. ES
205% increased defenses from shield.

We get a shield with 300 eva and 300ES and 24+% block chance. With the shield nodes, ES and Eva nodes the shield alone will give us 1.850 Evasion and 1.000 ES, adding 1.000 life to our pool. Additionally we would have at least 36% block chance, means we block at least one out of three melee hits.

So we have like 5k HP, 1k ES, 40% chance to evade, 36% chance to block. So we only get hit with a chance of 38%. As soon as we have onslaugt (what should happen very often) we have an additional 25% MORE chance to evade melee hits so it would be a 32% chance to hit us. Additionally we have Fortify.

Gem Links

6L: Blade Flurry - IAS - Melee Phys Damage - Added Fire Damage - Hypothermia - Inc Aoe/Conc
4L: CwDT (higher level) - Ice Nova - Shock Nova - Knockback (for the extra bit of defense)
4L: Ancestral Protector - Melee Phys - IAS - Conc. Effect (Boss helper + IAS boost)
4L (3L +1L): Hatred - Blasphemy - Enfeeble/Poachers Mark + Ice Golem
3L: CwDT (lower level) - Tempest Shield - Detonate Dead
3L: Whirling Blades - IAS - Fortify

Why super fast?!

Well, we already have like 12 to 14 attacks per second which will help us getting to stage six of blade flurry in no time. BUT additionally we are moving VERY fast. Besides having Whirling Blades with a huge IAS buff we also have a lot of Movement Speed!

We can get:
- 30% MS on boots
- 40% MS from Onslaught
- 11% MS from Tree
- 16% MS from Frenzy charges
- 20% MS from Devotos Devotion
= 117% MS BEFORE Potions.

Drop Claws of Pride wheel and grab acro. 1k ES isn't going to do shit if you can't leech it. The only downside I can see is the damage, you have no crit and are going with claws which have the worst damage in the game. Seems interesting with the attack speed however so it might be decent.

Or if you don't want acro then drop Claws of Pride wheel and The aspect of the lynx and the one attack speed node and go for the retaliation wheel instead.

Either way instead of getting a hybrid shield just go for a pure evasion shield and grab yourself a queen of the forest for the movement speed.
Why so serious?
