[3.1] Obi's Scion 'Uniques Galore' Blade Flurry - Extremely Cheap|Beginner Friendly|All Content



Welcome fellow exiles!
This is my Blade Flurry build which I was playing and enjoying it in 3.1 Abyss League, ofc this is my league starter build as well! It was cheapest build i have ever made which has both good survivability and amazing damage!

Build Concept: Build ultilize items that you might considered they're trash uniques & not worth for keeping, push them up to be able to do all game's content!

HC and SSF
WARNING! Build using many unique items so I would not recommend for SSF

With Survivability Oriented Version, you can play this in Hardcore as well, but not recommended, because as you see above, it's really gulping!

- ALL content viable !!!
- Uber, Shaper farmer, Shaper's beam gazer (beam tanker)
- Immune to Stun, Freeze, Chill and Shock.
- Can be evolved further with investment that i will tell you details below.
- High Versatility for both survivability and damage matching your playstyle.
- Can be a good league starter build.

Cons
- Not a fast map clearing build, gem swapping (IncAOE <-> ConC) for hard boss
- Not a Hall of Grandmaster clearing build, don't try
- For comfortable endgame content you need the 6L
- Need to change gloves on Chayula related content since we have low chaos resistance.

4. Ascendancy & Bandits
Spoiler


Recommended

Duelist Ascendancy - Slayer


Pure Damage - Not recommended while mapping with bloodrage and does not fully ultilize Damage on Full Life Support gem!
Ranger Ascendancy - Raider - Path of the Ranger
Shadow Ascendancy - Assassin


Alira for the bandits quest - We lack of resistances and we need crit multiplier as well so yeah, if you feel 2 passive points does more, just go with it


5. Gears
Unique Version


As you can see build using unique items that can be found with low price!
- Explanation: We use Lightning Coil to compensate downside of Abyssus, and again to reduce the penalty of -60% lightning resistance we use Purity of Lightning (which requires 155 int). Bloodseeker's (The Core and should not be replaced) provide instant-leech (an overpowered mechanic) which help you to refill your health pool immediately as your attacks hit. Plus with Life leech does not removed when reach full life (from Ascendancy), we can fully ultilize the Damage on Full Life Support gem with gem setup below.

Kaom's Root provides Stun and Freeze immunity, both are MUST HAVE for all Blade Flurry build imo, also it gives amazing boost to your life pool, the downside is only it has no movement speed bonus. This item also a CORE of the build and should not be replace!

Oskarm for free curse, additional accuracy, and life, everything we need, the downside is the reduced chaos resistance, still we can somehow minus the cons thanks to Pantheon system - Soul of Shakari!

Moonbender's Wing convert half of our physical attack damage to elemental damage, this way we can get maximum benefit from Elemental Damage with Attacks Support gem.

Belt of the Deceiver gives us Life, resistance, reduced damage from critical strike, and intimidate nearby enemies which make them takes 10% MORE damage. Best in slot as a unique belt.

Le Heup Of All and Carnage Heart both are very powerful with the build, we need every single mods on them. Yoke of Suffering can be a subtitue for Carnage Heart, for more lightning resistance, and ofc 10% MORE damage because we inflict shock and chill (without Elemental Focus Support gem)!, though this jewelry cost at least 7c for non-corrupted one.

Evolution with Rares

As you play through and more, the power of the build can be push much further by replacing uniques with rares items (which may cost from few to a lot of currency). So which unique you can replace? We should keep the core are the Bloodseeker's (the overpowered instant-leech), the Abyssus (Best for melee attack build) and the Lightning Coil (Though this can be changed to Elder's Armour have mitigation damage mod, the additional crit mod and the +1 socketed gem elder's mods, cost a lot and i will skip that aside). Others from those uniques you can change anything.

Off-hand: There are many good off-hand out there cost from few exalted to mirror tier, either sceptre, claw or sword is fine, the important mods are shaped mods on those rares. In this case you look for mods which "Gain #% of Physical Damage as Extra xyz Damage" (which 'xyz' can be cold, lightning), "Gain #% of Physical Damage as Extra Damage of a random Element" or "Gain #% of Elemental Damage as Extra Chaos Damage", look for those mods on them which will boost your damage to the sky. Additional with them is Critical Strike Multiplier, Damage Penetrate #% Elemental Resistance, Attack Speed, etc ... also are good mods.

Gloves: A Spiked Gloves base is a good one, look for flat physical, attack speed and high life (if possible) on them, accuracy also a plus, and so resistances (not too necessary but can't pass on those if you lack of resistances)

Belt: Stygian Vise (Abyss League exclusive base) if you can afford one, and an abyss jewel to socket in it. Otherwise a Leather Belt (More Life) or Rustic Sash (More Damage), choice is your but still seeking for these stats: Life > Resistances(as much as possible) > Increased Elemental Damage with Attacks (If you can) > Strength

Amulet: You will need intelligence (155) to run Purity of Lightning so go for Agate, Turquoise or Onyx based. For mod, priority are Flat phys > Crit Chance > Crit Multi > Life > Accuracy > Elemental Damage with Attacks.

Rings: Bases are Steel Ring, Diamond Ring, Opal Ring (For Damage) or Coral Ring, Two-Stone Ring (For Survivability and Defenses). Stats priority:
- For Damage: Flat phys > Life > Accuracy > Resistances (if lack of, you will though) > Elemental Damage with Attack Skill
- For Survivablity: Life > Resistances > Accuracy > Stats (Strength, Intelligence) > Elemental Damage with Attack Skill

Rings are items that can compensates any stats you lack of, anything you need, with 2 slots, put them here


6. Jewels
Spoiler

Must have !!!: Watcher's Eye jewel with mod Immune to Shock while affected by Purity of Lightning

Since Lightning damage (which Lightning Coil mitigated from physical damage) are able to shock you which increased all damage you take, so this jewel is a must for survivability !!!

Plus, it's even better if the watcher's eye have additional mod related to Hatred since we use it too. Ideal are:
- "+#% to Critical Strike Chance while affected by Hatred" - Best in slot, though hard to achieve
- "#% of Physical Damage converted to Cold Damage while affected by Hatred" (We save 3 skill point with this jewel"

Rares jewel

Which stats follows the priority orders:
Resistances > Life > Critical Strike Multiplier (melee, one-handed, dual wielding, etc ...) > Attack Speed
We use all unique items so we should caps resistances with passives and jewels, this may requires a bit of knowledge about jewels (both in crafting and merchanting), though jewels with only resistances and life are cheap (they're op)
For rares evolution, you can focus on damage jewel instead of get resistances on them, still you should reach the cap. With 5x rares jewel slot in hand (Level 91) you sure can changes things.

8. Flasks
Spoiler

You don't need life flask since your life leech is not removed when reach full life. If you can't afford the Taste of Hate, use a Basalt Flask with any mods that you see fit.
The Wise's Oak will help you to maintain in element weakness cursed map, also if you can cap your resistances, it's also a huge boost to damage and defense. At least try to cap your lightning and cold resistances! You can find the mechanic about this flask on wiki. Can be swapped for other flask of your choice, but not recommended.
The Lion's Roar is mandatory, you should have this while you can!




9. Pantheon & Mapping Notes
Spoiler

For Mapping: Soul of Solaris / Soul of Shakari
For Bosses: Soul of Solaris / Soul of Tukohama

Mod that you can't run, don't try, it's hurt:

Gem Swap for Better Map Clearing Speed:
Blade Flurry -> Reave
Damage on Full Life Support -> Multistrike Support
