For those people who have posted about having trouble with mana.

For cyclone, you have to run Soul Taker or Blood Magic support gem

For Dual Strike + Melee splash, you also have the option of mana leach, but it really requires a decent mana pool left after reserved.

Then there is the budget option, cleave is terrible so never use it. Reave however is very usable. I play self found, with no trading and I am doing very with Reave. Reave is only 9 mana per cast so mana problems are almost completely removed with just a little mana leach. I personally run only 2% and it does just fine. I only have 4Ls so I run Reave as my AoE ability and run Dual Strike as my single target attack for yellows and bosses. It works very well for me and I have not trouble doing maps solo. I have only made it up to 68s so far, have not tried anything higher yet. I only play solo and self found, so it certainly takes awhile.

To make gearing easier I am running 2 claws right now that I looted and it works just fine. They give me all the leach life that I need, in fact it is completely overkill on leach life. I wish I could loot a good axe or sword so that I could use leap slam or whirling blades again, but I am just suffering through that part.

Here is my gear, 100% self found with no trading, and this is my first character to make it to merciless. Also ignore my rarity and quantity gems on Reave, was screwing around while helping a friend in cruel last night lol.

You mind sharing your build and dps?

dont you guys have INT problem??

AND also what GEM DOESNT NEED TO BE LVLED UP?!?!

Hiya,

I came back to the game with the release of 1.0 and was looking into this build and was curious to know if anyone would like to hash out an idea with me: Scion crit "Blender" build.
http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgABAAYDlg5IDq0RlhIgEuEUdRSOFfYWvxc-F9gYTRjbGlUdyh49IWAiJiLqKLUo2ymlMZ4yCTQgNZI11jboOJY6szrtOyhAoEOcRQpN404qUzVWLVivW69c-V6LXvpgQ2BzYSFieWSjZ4BsRm1sbj1vnnBScNVybHLDdPF4DXhJgwmDfIUOh9ubtZ2jouqmV6Z_pzSoB6inqW6rC6x_rOquDK7PsbO1SLXytxe-vMBRwYvDOspKzAbP-NA50O7T_N0N3uXf7-OE647tQe9O8-r0xvej_Kv8xf6P

This was my first attempt at the build.

Now, some points can be moved to really amp up the damage % on a certain weapon type but for a pure discussion starter, I wanted to make sure I really only focused on 1Handers and DW nodes. The idea with the build is to go:

Offense (Blender Build)

1 - Dual Strike - Melee Splash - Multistrike - Added Fire Damage for Aoe.

2 - Reave - Multistrike - Added Fire Damage - Melee Physical Damage another Aoe idea.

3 - Dual Strike - Faster Attacks - Melee Physical Damage - Added Fire Damage for Single Target.

Defense

1 - Cast when Damage Taken - Enduring Cry - Molten Shell - Decoy Totem

with

2 - Cast when Damage Taken - Enfeeble or Critical Weakness (would have to look into Int) -
Ethereal Knives - Life Leech

Auras:

I would take Hatred - Reduced Mana - Grace.

Mobility:

1 - Whirling blades - Faster Attacks - Leap Slam
or
2 - Leap Slam - Faster Attacks - Reduced Mana

Bandits would prolly be: Passive/Physical Damage/Passive or Endurance Charge.

Would the damage go up since you CAN crit now and do not spec into RT?

Any tips/advice/thought/improvements/etc would be appreciated. Thanks :)

P.S. I'm not trying to hijack the thread. I'm really trying to do what the guide says on the first page and that's start from the Scion.

You don't need to lvl up the curse gem, it's fine at lv1. Anyway at later lv, you can lv it up to lv10(Required around 100Int).
Try using wiki before lvling gems up so you can check status required and mana costs.

Simply answer goes to your Passive. If you're following x2P's node, he's spending his points on Physical Damage, not Elemental.

Picked up a new ring, kind of fond of it.

@Taylorzo





Have you tried using blood magic+Dual Strike+Melee Splash+Multistrike - no mana issue with great DPS and as your amulet has 6% Life leech you should be at leech cap

You should have around 18k AoE DPS (as your weapons are similar to my) with Hatred aura and all mobs will melt around you.


I have not run higher maps myself but i guess if your defense is good enough for high level maps, then 18k AoE dps should be more then enough. I have done maps up to 69 (just started mapping after long break from PoE) and so far its easy mode.

Your gear is better then my as well from defensive point of view

Is there a reason he doesn't get the 10% melee damage node on the left side of the duelist tree? It's one point for 10% dmg?
