[1.2 Update] Simple Dual Wield Cleaver Builds
|
1.2.0 Update
I figured I'd give this post an update since someone asked me to. I made three new builds: Axe Cleaver, Sword Cleaver, and Sword Crit Cleaver. All three are pretty simple and straight-forward to play, and don't require any Uniques. I think they're all good builds for learning the game with, but probably fall-off a bit late game compared to more advanced builds. I've never actually played these builds at a high level, so I don't have any gear layouts or DPS estimates.
Axe Cleaver (104 Points, Level 87)
Summary This build uses Axes and gains tons of free resist from the tree, making gearing up easy. It has lots of life, but I think it lacks in damage a bit later on. Overall a good build for new players. By switching a few nodes, you can make this a Sword build instead (or even a Shield build if you switch a few more around). You can also play as a Marauder. Passive Tree Build Official Skill Tree PoE Builder Skill Tree Bandits Normal: Help Oak Cruel: Help Oak or Kraityn (I haven't figured out which gives more DPS) Merciless: Kill All or Help Oak (if you want a longer Immortal Call) Skills Attack: Cleave + Melee Phys + Added Fire + Multistrike + Faster Attacks Aura: Hatred + Grace Key Stat Totals +205% Max Life + 217 Flat Life (145 from Strength) +4.5% Life Regeneration +376% Melee Physical Damage (58% from Strength) +32% Attack Speed +10% Block (for a total of 25% while dual wielding) +80% Evasion Rating +64% Armor Rating +39% Cold Resist +39% Lightning Resist +47% Fire Resist +20% Chaos Resist +1% Max Fire Resist +12% Increased AoE Radius +2 Melee Range Resolute Technique Iron Reflexes Unwavering Stance
Sword Cleaver (106 Points, Level 89)
Summary This build uses Swords, which have amazing passive tree nodes on the Ranger side of the tree. It's a little less tanky than the Axe build, and has less resists from the tree; however, it's damage will be a lot higher. Overall this is probably my favorite of the three builds. You can also play as a Ranger. Passive Tree Build Official Skill Tree PoE Builder Skill Tree Bandits Normal: Help Oak Cruel: Help Oak or Kraityn (I haven't figured out which gives more DPS) Merciless: Kill All or Help Oak (if you want a longer Immortal Call) Skills Attack: Cleave + Melee Phys + Added Fire + Multistrike + Faster Attacks Aura: Hatred + Grace Note: Reave or Dual Strike can also be used instead of Cleave Key Stat Totals +189% Max Life + 127 Flat Life (85 from Strength) +3.8% Life Regeneration +424% Melee Physical Damage (34% from Strength) +90% Attack Speed +37% Block (for a total of 52% while dual wielding) +100% Evasion Rating +66% Armor Rating +10% Cold Resist +10% Lightning Resist +18% Fire Resist +1% Max Fire Resist +2 Melee Range Resolute Technique Iron Reflexes
Sword Crit Cleaver (109 Points, Level 92)
Summary This build uses Swords, which have an amazing crit node cluster on the Ranger side of the tree (Fatal Blade). It is the least tanky of the three builds, but will have more damage because of crit. It's also the most expensive because you'll need gear with +### Accuracy and a Sword with +##% Crit Chance. You can also play as a Ranger. Passive Tree Build Official Skill Tree PoE Builder Skill Tree Bandits Normal: Help Oak Cruel: Help Oak or Kraityn (I haven't figured out which gives more DPS) Merciless: Kill All or Help Oak (if you want a longer Immortal Call) Skills Attack: Cleave + Melee Phys + Added Fire + Multistrike + Faster Attacks Aura: Hatred + Grace Note: Reave or Dual Strike can also be used instead of Cleave Key Stat Totals +174% Max Life + 87 Flat Life (45 from Strength) +3% Life Regeneration +456% Melee Physical Damage (18% from Strength) +88% Attack Speed +84% Accuracy Rating +260% Critical Chance +60% Critcal Multiplier +37% Block (for a total of 52% while dual wielding) +68% Evasion Rating +34% Armor Rating +10% Cold Resist +10% Lightning Resist +18% Fire Resist +1% Max Fire Resist +2 Melee Range Iron Reflexes If you want a more advanced dual wield build than these, I recommend this WoE + BoR Tank Build Last edited by Meridin#6350 on Sep 15, 2014, 6:46:00 AM

what skills would you use with this? just a normal dual strike build?
|
|
|
Yeah, it's pretty much a just dual strike build
|
|

LOL! This is almost the exact same build I wanted to do. The main problem here is lifeleach/liferegen. Either you get a carnage heart and lose alot of your max hp, or you get decent jewelry with life leach. Funny thing: there is no good Jewelry in the beginning of the league. Other than that, nice build, we have similar ideas :3
