Daresso's Salute new unique amulet

My duel wield axe duelist would love that amulet. Try a cleave build that is supported by Life gain on hit, and melee damage on full life. There is also the gloves that increase attack speed on full life.

So for a build idea... a fast attack melee player with life gain on hit.

If you have much increased ES, the drawback is reduced (+100% ES becomes +50% etc)

wow gj picking that up

Suddenly this amulet is viable XD

Not sure if this is a strong competitor to the "canot be stuned" on chayula or amulets with crit mods, since most ES melee characters are in shadow area which usually run crit

cleave is an AoE Skill and doesn't get any range from "melee range", only from "increased area of effect" - same goes for Leap Slam, Infernal Blow and Ground Slam

the only "AE" skill that benefits is Cyclone - not even Melee Splash

As far as I know you can´t get stunned while you are spinning so it´s viable for a CI build.

60% physical is roughly 4 physical nodes now. Is it worth to build around? No. Simply take the nodes and get a good amu.

Yes cleave is an AoE and the increased weapon range would be wasted. But if you are running cleave you are most likely also using double strike, heavy strike, or duel strike. So the stat would be wasted on you main AoE attack but would be used for your single attack.

I'm gonna necro this just a bit to point out that this is 60% increased melee damage, not melee physical damage. Depending on build, you don't get a lot of elemental damage bonuses from passives, on the ranger/duelist/shadow side there's really only 39% you can get to overall, then the smaller ones to individual elements.

Arcing blows is a decent chunk considering most elemental seems to be lightning. That being said, I think anyone using sufficient elemental damage gear for melee might get a decent benefit from this.

could be nice when i use LS ranged.

I think I would use a life + evasion based character with elemental damage cyclone and life gain on hit for this amulet. That should keep him/her on full life most of the time, utilizing the amulet as much as possible, while avoiding the amulet's main drawback.

the amulets junk, the down sides are too numerous, and theres literally no way to work with the item.

you can go CI - but then I hope you enjoy your many deaths.

or you can go life... and almost never get the benefit of the item except when sitting in town.

its a dumb item with no good way to work with it, its gonna be thrown into the trade channels for almost nothing, just like some of the other recent uniques that been showing up.
