I think I know what skills he may be using, but I still would like to know if physical reflect give him any troubles as I am planning a build for cyclone that is based on armor strictly b/c of the grief reflect gives my EK.

Also would like to know if stuns ever become a problem. I was under the impression that any melee build w/o Unwavering Stance was doomed to several deaths.

I assumed infernal/glacial for single tar vs reflect and LS for aoe being that both convert 50% to ele dmg.

but the thing is with ls, he took amplify which is.... not good with ls only reason i can think of is he has gmp on his ls and wante d awider spread?

Blood Magic is mandatory. No way around it.

Unwavering Stance is another overrated passive, like Iron reflexes. If you have enough hit points , you will very seldom get stunned. Only boss mobs will stun you, which really isnt a big deal. When being stunned becomes a problem is when normal or magic packs of mobs stun you. A pack of normal mobs can easily put a low hp player on perma stun. High life negates that.

I never thought of it that way. Is there by chance a certain amount of hp that you started to feel "stun proof?" What about the blocking animation?

Also, how DO you handle reflect mobs? I had always wanted a pure evasion class but worried that once I did get hit, it would be very very hard w/o armor.

Not stun proof, just highly unlikely to be stunned. Unless boss or rare.

Is there some sort of progression you can provide? Did you stick around the duelist area first, or rush to marauder, or something else?
