Could you please add an explanation about how Reave works and why having two swords is a horrible idea? The last (at least) 10 pages of the thread are just spammed by people who don't understand how Reave works when dual wielding and it's a bit annoying to explain it person by person.

You're correct. I've added a section for Reave & stat sticks under "SKILL LINKS & STAT EXPLANATION".

I'm also developing a secret crazy boss killer build so I'm going to have my profile private for a few days.

If you check reave, it says it works with Daggers, Claws, Swords - this means that let's say you have a 350 dps sword and a 50 DPS with 40% fire damage added sword. You will alternate reave hits between the 350 dps sword and 50 dps sword.

Lets say you use an Axe, Mace(Sceptre) or Wand offhand with 40% fire damage added

You will ONLY swing with the sword, while still getting the bonus of the 40% fire damage and dual weild - meaning every other hit you are not hitting with a weaker weapon

tnx 2 u !! now i got it xD

Hello, would you recommend the MF version for a beginner player who is just starting the league? Or should I just stick to the normal guide for now?

Hey KMQ, thanks for the guide. I was wondering, it seems you're using both reave and vaal reave. But only reave is connected in your 6L. Do you use vaal reave by itself, without being linked?

Thanks again for the guide!

Vaal Reave is used only to push us to 8 stacks, the damage is completely irrelevant. So it should linger around somewhere where you don't need links.

OMG I feel like such a newb but I gotta ask this... Up to lvl 72, evrything runs smoothly but I just can't figure out that Reave/Vaal Reave Stack stuff... normal Reave just doesnt stack at all and Vaal reave only goes up to 2... What am I missing? Normal Reave is whith the 5L chest armor and Vaal Reave is alone in another piece of equipment... I do get the mechanic but I just can't see the stacks going up at all on normal Reave and Vaal goes only up to 2...

Thanks for your time, and awesome build @Kiss_Me_Quick

Thanks a lot :)

Funny how this dude keeps ignoring everybody asking him why he ticked Power Charges and where he gets them from. Probably just to get a high number for DPS...

After reading this https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Vaal_Reave

It is my understanding that the "stacks" are not the 2 stacks i thought there was on Vaal reave but the 2 uses.. The "stacks" are the AoE that goes up but there is no way to know how high or where it is right? we just understand that is goes up by hitting mobs?!

Looking over the gear you listed as using for the MF build, I don't see a white item for Ascetic. Did you not use one, or did you swap it out for pushing shaper?

For a league starter. Yeah, it's a solid build, just do as recommended and level using sunder under you reach maps and you should be golden.

For a brand new player? It's up to you on if you want to go with it. It requires you to understand stat roles and to keep careful track of your resistances to make sure you stay capped, and you lose out on a lot of survivability by having the limited item choices, but is a solid build despite those holdouts.

It will be a lot easier to go with the normal build due to being able to get +life on every item, and get more leech if you need it. You'll have less currency from not going MF, but that's probably a good thing as it teaches you to understand what stats are the highest priority to get, while allowing you to clear content easily.

Can someone help me figure out why im having so much trouble in T5 maps and even died in that map incursion?

POB tells me I have 75k DPS (blood rage + hatred + herald + golem + maim), 750 out of 817 cap life leech (didnt take Vaal Pact), 4k life.

And I think I have pretty good items yet the only incursions I do easily are 10 levels below mine (im about lvl 75).
