Thanks for sharing Lighty.

I opted for Duelist. The progression, at least for me, it was easy. Not very fast but easy since I had a good portion of the items.

I only had problems in the Labyrinth(Merciless) because the Izaro crushed me twice. I was on level 70. I gave up for a while.

I made some changes and now level 83 finally I won Izaro and even easily. It just was not better because of that horrible lag.

To fight with Izaro:

So in general Merciless Lab is difficult for most builds and can be lethal for anyone, Izaro is capable of hitting upwards of 7K with minor buffs and combination attacks. For your gear you can upgrade most your rares and definitely replace le huep as its very poor compared to a 5-10c rare ring when most it offers are increased values compared to more values. On your tree if you decide to enter the melee phys nodes in marauder (as you did) there is little reason not to get the starting 2 with higher than average values, otherwise everything looks in order.

Thank you. I'll try to make some improvements in the coming days.

Made my first hardcore character this last week using this build. Made it to 83 before I died to lightning thorns on twinned promenade boss. I had 6k health, capped res, and everything up. The only other thing I think I could've done that might've helped was having a topaz flask up. Even then, I died in the span of one cyclone. Really caught me by surprise as I almost never went below 2/3 health up to this point other than on buffed izaro. I had also killed the boss before, guess I just got lucky and killed them before lightning thorns was cast.

Will definitely heed warnings about a builds weaknesses and read up a little more about each map's bosses for hardcore in the future. Overall I exceeded my original goal of making it through merc though. I was pretty unlucky with currency and item drops overall on this character, so the hezmana axe made getting good dps without a 5-link a lot more attainable.

I want to run my cyclone setup on my chest so I can leave disfavour 6L for the level 6 enlighten to run hatred, HoA and Blasphemy. But I wanted to run Warlords Mark(for endurance charges and more leech) and another curse to maximise dps (punishsment, or vunerability), I'd compensate by getting additional curse corrupted on amulet. However if I do this I was wondering whether the 2% mana leech from warlord would be enough to remove thr bloodmagic link and survive cyclone with the remaining percent left by enlighten, something like 100-110*0.8=12%. Since that'd leave me with a spare socket I could link increased aoe or concentrated effect : more dps.

Is the 12% enough raw mana (maybe 80ish mana) to use cyclone 2+ times, esp with the 1.4 mana multiplier?

If it is, then I think so. I tried it and SOMEtimes I would be about .5s without using cyclone. Really annoyed me as I like to cyclone freely.

I run hatred on essence worm, and HOA and Blasphemy (1curse) with enlighten 3 on other gear. Total unreserved is 22%. From the aura calculator, you could have 26% unreserved with enlighten 4 if you do 2xBlasphemy with the enlighten and hatred on essence worm.

Great build, great leveling skill tree, really having fun with this, but I do have a question about Duelist > Champion Ascendancy. I am spending 4 points to get to perma fortify, that's a given, loving that thing so much.

Those last 2 points, you pointed to Inspirational, which I totally agree, but what if you run Iron Reflexes? You technically double dip, meaning it's 200% armor and 400% Evasion as armor + other bonuses.

I managed to get a Lightning coil, I got Atziri's Step and I am thinking of maybe getting Alpha's Howl, that's a lot of evasion combined, which in turn would turn into ridiculous amount of armor if I ever get to low life. Alpha's Howl allows me to run Purity of Lightning, Purity of Fire, blasphemy and Warlord's mark, which reserves ~97% mana, which puts me at almost 2k evasion before buffs. With the double dip, that's 4x the armor on low life, or 8k!

Or is it still better in that case to just run Inspirational?
