3.0 Viable - Blade Flurry Champion (5k Life, 18k/28k Armour, 175k DPS)

This is my first Thread on the Forum.
(sorry if my English is not perfect)



A friend of mine asked me to create a build for him because he started playing Path of Exile some days ago and wanted to try Blade Flurry.
I wanted to make a tanky, easy-2-play and cheap dude.
So I came up with some ideas:

1) Soul Taker: No mana problems ---> EASIER BUILD.
2) High Life/High Armor: You can't die ---> EASIER BUILD.
3) Varunastra: High versatility ---> EASIER BUILD.

PROS
Spoiler

-High survivability
-Decent damage
-Beginner-Friendly
-Cheap


CONS
Spoiler

-Without Varunastra the build doesn't work
-Only 1 Jewel


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DPS
Spoiler

6 STAGES UNBUFFED


6 STAGES BUFFED WITHOUT FLASK


6 STAGES BUFFED WITH FLASK

Are you sure the Soul Taker is worth it? Seems like all it does is let you not have any mana leech, but Blade Flurry costs so little mana that even 0.4% leech is plenty.

I think it is. You can run 2 50% auras and still use your skills.
In the first setup, for example, I use Hatred and Determination, Hatred gives me a better DPS than Herald of Ash so yes, I think it's worth.
nice build dude

your helm, boots, amulet and 1 ring have no/small life on them. Get more life on those pieces.

Also you are missing "Golem's Blood" passive cluster. If you want more life - get more life nodes.
