Hey OP

I'm the guy that first replied to this guide, playing LHC.

I'm level 90 now and going well (outside of the very real danger of dying to any volatile in t11+ maps.

Quick question. Do you think at 90+ it's worth going for Brutal Blade by 94 instead of heading for the more jewel sockets.

Even with Quad stat jewels, I think Brutal Blade offers more value (especially with the extra 4% block, which will bring your block closer to 75% cap with a 20% rumi)


As an aside, this build definitely keeps you on your toes in HC but I can't see myself doing t13+ without basically gambling with my life at every turn haha.

Or you can use all these 4 nodes for life instead if your life is too low. Its up to you, if you want more damage, go for Brutal blade.

I can see you have some shortcomings in your gear because you play in hc (not judging, your gear is fine) but atziri acuity is kinda needed if you want smooth playstyle, otherwise, i recommend you play gladiator, to skip some block nodes for more health and spell block.

Check this out, here's what i would do with your char : www.poeurl.com/bd8R

Notice the Dirty technique wheel, you'll now poison bleeding enemies, greatly increase your single dps (25% is ok). You'll also gain additional 15% bleed chance from Razor edge, a total of 40% bleed chance (including gladiator ascendancy).

Dropping generic block nodes from duelist/marauder area and spec into damage/block nodes in ranger area. You'll lose 4% block chance but will gain more accuracy/crit/damage.

Again, this is just a reference :D

Why dual-wield swords, when you can put Death's Hand in offhand, and have free Unholy Might (30% of physical gained as extra chaos damage) and gain power charges easily? Also, you need just one expensive weapon instead of two.

Why Death's hand ? You can clearly see from the title that this build does not focus heavily in chaos/bleed damage, just pure phys, if i care about chaos that much, i would just use Sin's rebirth instead. And how did Death's hand help you gain power charges easily lol ? only 30% and bosses can mostly avoid it, even mobs.

Yes, my swords are expensive, but you just need two at 300pdps(there are plenty in league with good roll at 1 or 2 exes). Mine are self crafted tho.

Afterall, i don't think wielding death's hand are anywhere near dual swords, and i don't need that extra chaos bonus to clear all uber content. Chaos damage won't help you much if you don't stack duration/ailments from tree anyway.
