(no power\frenzy at the start when i show shitty varunastra for example weapon)

Noooo I can't let you say that about the varunastra, it a great sword even with crit sunder. It just doesn't suit your tree. I did a similar version with varunastra but in dual wield.
Still cool build crit sunder is fun to play.

here is my version:

Did shaper with this build too : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmkkGRspmWg

Yeah varanastra is a really good sword , its just crap in this context because this build is not built for it. You obviously want to get nodes for all weapon types because it is all weapon types.

Thanks for adding you're take on the build , I was just using it as a baseline known for people to see what the dps would be like with a meh dps rare. It did occur to me at the time with the investment into weapon nodes it would certainly be viable. Ill have a look at the build later but thanks.

--
Another person asked about the shield , i feel the surrender is worth running for defences , this build really does not have a major issue with dps , i may do things a bit differently if i was making this to just kill shaper all day but its been primarily been made to roll maps and go and it has just enough defences to keep it alive in the hardest content.

The ability to block and the health gain on block from the shield is valuable to the build (you can also block your own reflected damage which im pretty sure has saved me before) , that said the shield is not cheap and there is about 4-5 unique shields and rare shields to choose from.

This is pretty dear to me it was the first item I ever crafted and about as good as you can roll a shield but I still consider surrender a lot more defence than it .


On rare shields i dont think the health on block is valuable (100 is the max), on a rare tbh just a lot of life and res maybe +block chance , rare shields in general are 25-27 block chance while uniques generally get given 30% so with tempest you hit 33% with minimal investment , for this main reason and the unique perks i prefer unique to rare.


This is a pretty nice rare for a couple of c I have been using and the budget unique shield is great old one for the phys damage and spell block.

~Oh thanks to all the cool people who have said hi and they are enjoying the build

This is the most fun I've had in POE for quite some time.. excellent DPS and survivability.

Thanks for posting this build!

I have updated a few little details on page 1 , and some gear examples etc , thanks all !

Thanks for all the time and detail

so uh....any reason we don't use lycosidae in this build?

mostly because it's trivial to get 600+ accuracy on gear , per item 400 is the max so 2 not terrible rolls on gear and you are basically there. And if you have a look armour gear with accuracy on it really does not demand any huge price , most melee are still rt so i've had no issue picking up really nice accuracy pieces sub 10c (most of the time 2-4c).




You could certainly use it but honestly I think you should shoot to just get the accuracy on gear and get a slightly more interesting shield (more defensive or offensive focused) if you are going to play the build for longer than a week.

We are also sort of lucky that you can get good chunks of accuracy on the helm and glove slots , its generally still pretty easy to cap res so you dont really loose anything getting the accuracy on those slots , it is harder to get accuracy on necks\rings because if they have good life \ res \ accuracy and dps mods they start to get pretty expensive

Ill chuck a mention of it in the gear section , its a viable option , i decided to go accuracy so i can use other shields so i explained the accuracy route.

The shield is basically interchangeable with any viable shield in the game, i've even considered doing an aegis variation because i have the gear in standard but id need to run determination and that would mean dropping a offensive aura.

Fair enough.

Thanks for the build! Like many others, I am enjoying it and have taken my own twists on it.

I've been using POEBuilder to try and min/max damage, and I am over 200k now when fully flasked up etc.

notice I went shadow instead of duelist - I believe the 13 points by shadow is worth far, far more than what the other 13 points ended up being (at least according to PoBuilding)

gear so far:

I'm level 41, and really enjoying this build. I see you use Immortal Call cast when damage taken: how do you build endurance charges for this? EDIT: Warlord's Mark

I'm just wondering why this build uses critical strike support over critical damage support. I've been using it for the past couple of days and currently using soul taker + lycosidae, and on path of building, it's showing that critical damage support will provide almost twice as much dps as critical strike support. Faster attacks is also simming better than critical strike support too.

Ruthless beats all of them, it is what I use
