Sarlaiel's DW BM Duelist Build. High life/dps/aoe/regen/block. The perfect DW build
" What about blocking the animation can also be avoided by using Unwavering Stance. Edit: I just realised you only get the block animation if the blocked attack would've stunned you. Unwavering Stance really is useless :O Last edited by Saviouress#6995 on Mar 15, 2013, 5:43:01 AM

unwavering stance has a huge draw back that makes you unable to take advantage of the massive miss chance provided by Enfeeble and Blind. this build looks like the run of the mills ele cleave build to me though. not unique at all.

I use a similar build, and as the op said, wasting so many points in mana nodes, and even 1-2 socket gems for mana leech or blood magic, thats ridiculous... You can profit way more from 1 single skill point in BM, and use that 1-2 socket for extra damage.
Although i use US+IR and the 2 Steel Skin in the duelist area, and im not using the weap ele dmg in the templar area. Beside that, the build works perfect in late game maps. |

Comparing your build to another build and one I created myself, yours seems to opt for a LOT more maximum life % at the cost of physical weapon damage. Is it safe to assume that you are focusing on not only physical damage, but elemental as well to up your current dps (seems so judging by your tree, but just wanted to confirm)?
I was originally planning going pure physical with the possibility of using added fire damage gem once I get a 5L chest piece. If I were to compare your build and my build, on my build I would lose about 70% maximum life but gain 80% physical damage and about 15% attack speed compared to yours, both using 110 skill points (The chance of actually being able to utilize 110 points is probably very difficult, but it gives a general view point of how different end game stats will be like). Do you find it difficult or lengthy in terms of taking down huge mobs? How many hits does it usually take? What kind of weapons are using? Let me bend your ear for a moment

" Not lengthy at all. I do enough dps that I am 100% focused on more life% now. No reason to go after more dps nodes. |

Honestly, It looks kind of generic. Not in a 'your build is bad' way, but simply, as the beta has gone on, certain build patterns have emerged. Elemental damage/BM builds that go into both Templar and Marauder trees are pretty much standard fare for strong late game builds, since they offer good survivability/damage options in a close knit group of nodes.
As for gear, since you don't find Armour useful, what other options are there really ? I'd guess high evasion/resists/block chance, going on the logic that what you don't evade, you have a high chance to block and with health so high, chance to be stunned will drop off. A good build, but I intentionally was heading in the other direction with my duelist just to not do Templar/Marauder before I died to desync/lag whatever in Docks. Took two epic elemental cleavers with me to default too :( The Witch I'm playing now, is going to.......you guessed it! Templar and Marauder if I get to lategame. |
