Nice setup :D. Figured I'd let you know that Atziri's Promise is cheap now. Can spend 1-3c getting a 20% flask if you wanted one. Just noticed it was your only non-20% flask, and I just checked them today for an alt noticing how cheap they are for 20%.

Ah, didn't saw it had no quality xD. Will buy a new one for sure. Got 5077 HP with The Perfect Form at lvl 86, I think might be enough to finish the challenges. Will get more hp or jewel nodes with the next points. (Really wanted to test those new red dream unique jewels, near the templar area, would give a solid 12% endurance charge generation)

i bought doryani and it feels abit worse i think, dps is higher but i hit for less area and less effective and i die often. here is my gear

For me after I bought Doryani, I respec some of point from increased elemental dmg (because we have a lot form Doryani) to life, now with almost 5k life and Vaal pact it's much easier and faster to farm maps.

Loving this build so much. My to-do list had playing Templar/Witch/Scion classes as I hadn't done them yet. I ran LA/Barrage Shadow last league and really enjoyed the speed of the build. With the APS this build is capable of and Whirling Blades, it makes even that one seem slow. Addicted to the speed.

Sitting at level 85 and just under 5700 life. Still going to fill out the Scion life wheel as I approach the 90s. Replaced my MH a couple days ago and managed to get a nice Doryani with the profits of the old sword I sold off. The high fire res roll on the foil freed up a lot of requirements on my other gear pieces. Wasn't too difficult to 2-off color the boots, and managed to free up a lot of int requirements elsewhere. I feel like I got a steal on the belt. Really high life and elemental damage, dual-res and 20% flask duration is awesome. Going from Relentless Fury to Doryani's is an insane boost. Damage is off the charts.

Next step is to work on 6L Belly. Ideally I'd like to get Acuity end-game (wouldn't we all) and free up the points from Vaal Pact, but it'll take a lot of manuvering on the rest of my gear to make up the resists. Overall, the speed and damage of the build makes the Blood Rage degen easily manageable.

Fantastic build, having a blast!

Just looking for some input where to take my tree and what items I should prioritize to improve.

I tried to work with the currency I had to have enough base gear to start mapping which I think I've achieved so far.

I'm also still deciding between lacerate or BF as my main skill but so far I think I am enjoying the damage of blade flurry more.

Any feedback/input would be much appreciated :)

What were you using previous? Only thing you should be using is Relentless Fury pre-Doryani. Off-hands do nothing for BF, so I don't see how anything could've been more beneficial in any way than Doryani that you'd die often afterwards.

You really should replace that breach ring with a ring that has life. Significant amount of life you're losing out on.

I personally have 5400 life and I feel virtually immortal with Vaal Pact.

Your tree is good, I recommend taking Heartseeker next and then filling out the entire Scion life wheel.

I recommend taking the 4 jewel sockets on the tree and setting up a live search on poe.trade for the stats you want under 5c. You can get three stat DPS jewels easy for 2-5c. Those alone will sky rocket your DPS and boost your attack speed greatly.

Here's my search form. http://poe.trade/search/nihukonoamiteh

8 results under 5c without even waiting on a live search.

Otherwise your gear is solid. Obviously you'd benefit from getting a 330+ eDPS foil with crit multi on it, but that can get semi expensive.

The main priority is achieving 70-80+ life on all pieces of gear (can sacrifice a bit on rings with DPS and res and stay at 60+ to keep the price down), especially the belt which you can get 90-130 life on. With Belly your individual life rolls are even more important, so they'll be your focus.

Is it really not worth it getting Coldhearted Calculation (and 20% CHC in the process?) That 12 attack dmg + 20int looking yummy (struggling with int a bit..)

Unfortunately it's not worth taking. It has very low value compared to the rest of the nodes on the tree, and if you needed int you'd be better off taking a +30 int node. The int problem is terribly unfortunate; I had to work pretty hard to solve it without sacrificing too much.

Cold Hearted Calculation is worth 5.5k dps in my PoB tree currently, I don't see how picking up a 30 int would be more valuable? Just curious as to what prompts this idea?

You would never take the 30 int node ideally. But spending one bad point is better than spending 2 bad points. Cheaper to refund 1 point later when your gear is better than it is to refund 2 points. You actually gain MORE DPS per point spent by grabbing 2 evasion nodes that lead up to the jewel socket lower in the tree and slotting in a +16 int jewel with 2 damage stats.
