Stupid question, but how do you kill packs with this build? Dual strike is single target only.


Not the build author but here's my experience. So first off with this build dual strike becomes aoe using the threshold jewel Might and Influence and the gem multistrike. Both are found through leveling, multistrike in Act 4 and the jewel in Act 5. Rogue mentioned that leveling may be a bit tough at first so he's still using cleave however I've been using the dual strike setup since lvl 30 something (was impatient and bought jewel off someone) and I can tell you I'm doing just fine using strike exclsuviely as main attack. Obviously drop Warchief totem down when fight bosses, tough harbingers, tough rares etc. If trying swords make sure you have whirling blades to speed things along from pack to pack (using leap slam+axes myself). Can check my character out if want but it's far far from anywhere near optimized.
I'm also still using the pre-brutality aura package of Herald of Ash+Hatred as I don't have good phys axes yet and the dps is higher for now. Am leveling brutality and other gems for the transition too. Also Rogue or Umbra, what auras will be ran with Soul Taker since hatred and heralds won't work with brutality?

So, now without HoA and Hatred i think a blasphemy+Warlods or another curse is the most reliable option?
can you update gems +links section in a more convenient form. Add pls gems for leveling, full list of gems etc..

Warlord's curse is unreliable later in game when mapping
Never used blasphemy, maybe it'd make Warlord more reliable. Not worth testing in my opinion with all the other things you could use

In my 3.0 updates, I wrote all elemental auras, elemental pots and elemental gems have been utterly dropped from dual strike and that I am even considering a new sword / axe build that has mana techniques to drop soul taker as well since we will have a mana pool.

Umbra here, my leveling section shows you how to get both Multistrike and AoE of the Melee Splash right off the bat when you are able to equip Dual Strike (with obvious mana control techniques to accomodate a good DPS setup).

In my GEAR section you can see early gear which gives you mana control to use Melee Splash gem with free multistrike and so all you have to do is control mana leech to accommodate as many gems as you can in a 5L before you equip Bringer of Rain or Belly of Beast+Rare Helm and the Melee Splash jewel.

Arctic Armor will be used since it gives defensive bonuses. As for other auras, the verdict is wayyyyyyy out there for the time being. Auras have not been very useful in the past.

We are considering possibly using only Arctic Armor then whatever we can cast with low intelligence with the freed mana pool, that way we can drop soul taker to give the build a lot more flexibility. This will take a lot of testing.
