Ya as mentioned on first page, that's what the 100% lightning dmg static strike swapout is for ;)

Doesn't break molten and no melee phys to be reflected from AG etc....

If you notice your opponent is geared for anti bleed or is calling up AG, then just swap to that. Takes nothing to swap a chest, but if you swap a flask in 1v1 it starts out empty. Also in 1v1s you can only call out your AG once per match, if someone has a bramblejack guardian my caustic arrow will it in half a second. Just gotta watch out.

TO afhak: why not using hypotermia green + artic armor instead of added fire dam ?
added fire not so great i think compared to more damage from chilled hypo

Also with green u can swap with poison support instead of hypo if players can t be chilled(or culling )

GGGBBR setup I mean

hey man! yeah just read that. Well right now I just have red colour because I'm actually swapping out with stun or fortify depending on my opponent. Stun absolutely fucks up Spark, and other casters like that. If that makes them switch to Chayula, good, you just made them lose their useful amulet. Plus you'd be surprised how many OP people are all DPS adn can't swap ammys at all. I'll have Fortitude in 2.2, so I wn't need fortify anymore so I'll be weighing my options heavily.

I got a 20/20 hypo the other day adn did testing with it, and it's just not worth it. Because I'm RT I need every hit to be reliable, I don't need to start factoring in "Oh, it'll do this much dmg if they're chilled". I can't rely on my CWDT1/ab1/gmp/inc dur to make me do MORE dmg

As far as AA, I also dropped BM on treea nd messed with auras again for a little bit at the advice of others and lapiz, and it just didn't work well IMO. Maybe it could work for others but BM on tree is the way to go for me.

I am going to mess with poison in 2.2. I have a 20/20 in talis waiting to roll over don't want to buy another one :P

AA RT with 9k life you would be like 8k, still ok.

I understand about fortify but you could get it with leap or flicker with curse on hit too maybe with +1 curse item.

But great build, nice axe . GG

Also when I played RT I tested flicker+ melee on full life. In 4l it was doing 15k/hit so it was doing insane initial bleed first hit if bypass the dodge/block and mana cost was low enough for full life before you hit. Worked also on leap slam but maybe in 6l it is too much mana.

Thanks!

Yeah, since I ditched the leg kaoms (to make another build basically...more to come on that after 2.2 ;)), My life is 8k now with reg kaoms, about 7.2k with belly swapout. Having auras would make me 6.4ish if i have to use belly swapout, and that's wayyyyy too low for a 2H pvp'er.

And yeah, I use flicker currently in

If the flicker misses due to dodge/block then no fortify ;(. Put BCR in instead of FA sometimes. But again, that fortify won't be needed in a few days! :D

thanks for the great guide and advice :)

Thanks for sharing, lovely. Cheers Ahfack! (＾▽＾)

Bump for coolness

Hey guys! Thanks for all the kind words and comments.

Well, I sold some alt art and things, and I got legacy kaoms back. With these ascendancy changes, the damages are just insane and it's proving that being melee in this PVP environment is ever challenging.

WISH US MELEES LUCK!! We'll need it ;D



Leg kaoms, you goddamn expensive thing, you! BLARG!

Oh yeah and I got nice ascendancy mod on these:

Updated with 2.2 tree per request
