What are the best in slot rings for Duelist?
I am wanting to upgrade my rings as they are the weakest aspect of my gear but don't really know what I am looking for. Any help would be appreciated.

For rings you're definitely looking for increased attack speed and flat phys damage. I'm assuming you're running a blender build? Its going to cost you, you're in a spot I was in recently. At your level range you need both good defense and the offensive mods as well.
Rustic sash for physical%, rings with IAS and/or flat physical bonus. You have a bloodmagic gem in your CWDT set up. I don't believe that costs any mana so you can drop that for enduring or something else. That's a good start anyhow. |

Thank you much, sir. I am following somewhat closely the "Shredder" build from POEPRO. Dual Strike and Leap Slam are my 2 attacks.
I know I need a better 5L armor as well but any upgrade at all is 6ex or more. Sucks! So in my POE-XYZ search I should be looking for +attack speed and physical damage and life. Got it! Oh, and when you say that I can swap out Blood Magic for Enduring Cry what do you mean by no mana cost? Doesn't CWDT add up all the mana that it is linked to and take that out?

Part of the problem was nobody knew what build you were using because you did not supply a skilltree link.
- In general you want HP/resists on your ring as a base. Damage-wise modifiers like increased weapon elemental dmg, flat phys dmg, attack speed are popular. If you are dependent on shock, flat lightning damage may be desirable as well. Unique rings are more build-specific, like Thief's torment can help with resource cost issues, or the new Romiras being really powerful for power charge builds. In your case I think flat phys dmg + life + resists will work just fine. Don't expect a huge dps boost out of your rings though, so I wouldn't spend too much here. I would prefer to focus on life/resists in the ring slots personally. - If you want a major dps boost, upgrade your weapons and get a 6L. Obviously that's going to cost you, but that's where the major dps upgrades are going to come from. - Consider running Hatred for physical dmg builds. - Try using AddedFire support instead of FasterAttacks. It usually adds more dps for phys dmg builds. - You don't need BloodMagic on your CwDT chain because the resource usage cost is free. Mana or Blood is not deducted from you when it triggers, and therefore your BloodMagic gem is useless there. Replace it with an EnduringCry gem or something else.

Awesome, thank you for the explanations. Here is a link to my current passive tree:

Yea eventually I want a different helmet but for now it boosts my DPS by a lot because of the flat damage. Can't afford a Alpha lol which is what I am wanting.
