Duelist - [3.2][Slayer/Reave/Blade Flurry] Embrace the Madness [Oni-Goroshi/Budget to End Game] - Forum

Hey, just wanted to thank you for this build! Managed to clear all of the end-game on a ~10ex budget. The only change I made was Whirling Blades over Leap Slam, it really felt better for dodging.	Posted by FreeMarley on Feb 26, 2018, 12:42:41 PM Quote this Post
" Hey, just wanted to thank you for this build! Managed to clear all of the end-game on a ~10ex budget. The only change I made was Whirling Blades over Leap Slam, it really felt better for dodging. Thanks for the feedback ! Glad to know it worked for you as it worked for me : 10 ex investment to down every end game bosses. Hope you had fun playing it :) I have to admit that leap slam can feel clunky compared to whirling blades when you need to avoid a big hit but I still prefer leap slam for the overall mobility.

Feel free to check my thoughts about the revamp in first post. Last edited by iktose on Feb 26, 2018, 5:02:22 PM	Posted by iktose on Feb 26, 2018, 4:56:25 PM Quote this Post
" Oni-Goroshi is a whole lot harder to find Needless to say, people with Oni-Goroshi can level up very quickly. At its 3.1.0 spawn rate, a popular strategy is to farm the Twilight Strand for four hours to get the sword, and then having an easier time with the playthrough. We're happy with people doing this if they want, but it's going to take longer than four hours. We've both made it spawn a lot less often and also added a high degree of variance to it. It can spawn at lower levels than before, but it can swing up a lot higher than before. It's a very powerful item for levelling, so we both wanted to make it less common and also for its spawning to be less predictable (like other unique items). Oh, and have fun with the 3.2.0 Uber Hillock fight when you do find him ;-) Welp...I guess I am making 6 characters instead of 4. And I will be in twilight strand the first couple days! Lmao. :cry	Posted by Timex1 on Feb 26, 2018, 5:11:39 PM Quote this Post

Dual Gladius a good idea before we can afford Oni? Or another unique item?	Posted by Balantakos on Feb 27, 2018, 5:24:43 AM Quote this Post
I don't think dual Gladius will be the best. Usually with this type of build it's better to have a 1H sword with the best phys dps possible (usually a good rare) in main hand and a stat stick in off-hand (1H axe or mace). Moonbender seems like a cheap starting stat stick before you can get your hands on a better one like shaper/elder based weapon. You should also probably put points in dual wield nodes in the duelist starting area to get more damage and block early on. (can respec this later) That can be tested in PoB. If you're not running to maps like many players do, you could still farm Oni-Goroshi on the first day of the league.	Posted by iktose on Feb 27, 2018, 8:08:24 AM Quote this Post
Just coming back after a long break. I like to start fresh when I come back, so thought I'd give this build a go. I'm only posting to report I got my Oni on the third run after hitting level 7. This is SSF if that matters.	Posted by slice99 on Feb 28, 2018, 4:24:28 PM Quote this Post

Are you going to play the new Bestiary league or are you going to stick with Standard SSF ?	Posted by iktose on Feb 28, 2018, 5:28:34 PM Quote this Post
I think I'll stick with SSF. I never traded anyway :) Not sure how long I'll play this time to be honest. It's the best game in the genre, but I'm not 100% sure I'm ready for the grind :)	Posted by slice99 on Feb 28, 2018, 7:13:16 PM Quote this Post
