Best melee physical build?
|
Been playing a ranger and wanting to play a melee character now. Curious what your opinions are of the best physical dps build in the current form of the game. And whether better to be duelist, ranger, shadow, etc.

This is pretty much my opinion. When it comes to physical dmg though
-Facebreaker cyclone build marauder/duelist -crit dagger shadow dual strike melee splash -claw vaal pact cyclone Most other melee builds are either better as elemental or just seem slower/weaker to me. Last edited by AllGodsDie#6702 on Jul 30, 2013, 10:37:27 PM

the strongest physical dps build honestly would be a CI crit dagger lightning strike build, you can have a high es base with beyond decent amount of armor by running grace/det with IR and archonsheild. the dmg on Lightningstrike with triple stack shock is pretty damn good. plus in tough spots you can easily pick things off with lightning strike at range. as far as class i would say shadow is the strongest ci based, althought i used a witch for extra es base and less dmg on onslaught. for life builds, i guess sebash's hybrid cleave is prob one of the stronger builds and i would use duelist for cleave

Yeah, I understand ele or hybrid cleave is very effective, just looking for something a little cheaper to build than needing +elemental damage on every gear slot.

Facebreaker Frenzy build is another type of facebreaker build you want go to if you want att speed and a lot more DPS.
You can go the route with Darkray Vectors, if you want 8 frenzy charges (the only to get you to 8), or Blood Dance, if you want a lot of life regen (7.0% of life regenerated per second with 7 frenzy charges) to sustain yourself much longer in battle. Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game. - raics, 06.08.2016 Last edited by JohnNamikaze#6516 on Jul 31, 2013, 2:43:44 AM

" I have a pair of dances already, was curious how big of a dps loss the attack speed part is though? |
|
" If you use Frenzy as your main skill, you will barely suffer any lose in DPS as long as you have pretty much max out to 7 frenzy charges. 6 would be good enough, but 7 is better. With 7 frenzy charges, you get 35% att speed, and when you wear the boots, you will only net 14% att speed because of the 21% reduced att speed. Of course, that is kinda the drawback, but you get 7.0% of life regenerated per second. If you happen to get over 3k HP, and include 5 endurance charges (with the 0.2% of life regenerated per endurance charges) you should be able to get 400+ life regen (that is equivalent to having 5k+ HP). Do not forget, a lvl 20 20% Frenzy skill gives 18% increased att speed per frenzy charges, and 12% increased melee damage per frenzy charges, so you can easily overcome the drawbacks. You can even add haste to get more att speed. Passive Tree (I got my last frenzy charges from helping out Merc Kraityn) With these setup, I am at 25k DPS, 15.6k AR, 83% phy dmg reduced, 440 life regen, 75/71/57 res (with the five endurance charges, I max out res). If I went in the route of Darkray Vectors, I can get close to 40k DPS, but I lose out about 4-5 seconds with frenzy charges duration, a lot of life regen, and visibility. Of course, life leech will be smiling upon me. Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game. - raics, 06.08.2016 Last edited by JohnNamikaze#6516 on Jul 31, 2013, 3:36:49 AM

Crit flicker strike shadow is probably the highest physical dps in the game at the moment (although I still need to check out hybrid cleave with conc effect, don't have the gear yet).
On a tight budget, nothing really compares to BoR + FB. |

If you want to have insane damage mitigation, try this build:

heres a better version. endurance charges and mana reserve much better than little bit of eva, running determination, vit, hatred. on mana and leaving enough mana pool for spamming prob could go without bloodmagic on your helm links and just use a 2% mana leech ring http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQAAdwEswUtFE0WbxkuGYUaMho4G_odFCSqJd8n7Si1Mgk26TrhPC1AoEd-TeNQUFFgU99USVWpVcZYY1jbWfNfP2BLYIhlTWaebmlyqXTteA16uHrvfNmDOITZhO-I8YzPj0aQVZe0mSubg6IApBmmV6eEqW6plavFrFmsqqyvrLquk7Xytz653b2Bvoq-p8APwBrE9sauxtjPZdDQ0k3Uj-Nq51LnY-8O707vfPAf8i_yRfPd9kj60v4K_o_sODrYTdiePIFvYVKfy6LqEuFYr3C79tot0ox2Rmk= Last edited by zumiknight#1074 on Jul 31, 2013, 1:30:32 PM
