Official Blender Post! Lets theory craft for 1.2! 123k Cleave DPS!

With all that aspd you simply can't keep your mana up and just spam your dual strike. You're forced to use a BM gem.

Based on wiki, max mana leeched per second is capped at 12.5% of your total mana. Which means, if I'm not wrong, that I'll need 2240 maximum mana to sustain a 280m/s dual strike @ 40 mana*7 atks/s.

So, BM gem and goodbye MPD on a 4L setup or Soul Taker.

This is why Bringer of Rain is core item for this build. Give you 7L (6L really as blinds is not that great in my view) but you can put BM gem and you still do insane damage ;) Just need to get lucky to find one or have enough currency to buy it and then this build takes off .....

Also, working toward this build is EXTREMELY noob friendly, and I highly recommend it to anyone just starting out (more than any other build I've tried). Just go for all the life nodes in each build step first before filling out the damage nodes in each 20-point step. Use dual strike with Melee splash and added fire damage in the early game and also leap slam.

New players who've tried other builds will laugh at how easy this is.

ha ha
yea and i died 3 times on thise week, thise is not for new player, 3x death in 1sec
you have to be very patient and careful playing the sapling, especially at the beginning.
IMO for experience player

I have only one question... Resolute technique is realy useful???
because I see my atks missing rarely...really worth lose the crit?

anybody can explain to me for what?
I really dont see mi atk missing... =/

why no conc effect on cyclone instead of weapon ele?

once you get quality cyclone the aoe difference is almost nothing for 69% MOOAAR damage

and this applies to phys and elemental

heres my current dual striker gear and tree



tree


i prefer going the other way around to get RT because of unwavering (for map piety dominus etc) because afaik blind doesnt work against spells which is your major threat

also +1 end charge, more dps through duality + 2 x 12%/6%life nodes, 2% extra leech

i lose out on +2 max res and 12% res all but the life outcome is basically the same, plus i will get more life near ranger start 8/8/12 nodes

edit: oh and my gear and gems are still levelling setup

i have these ready:
