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.

At a certain crit rate it can be worth running crit damage , path of building does show inc crit damage as being superior at lower crit rate than it actually is though.

We get 40% crit multi on targets on full life , if we drop inc crit strikes and take inc crit damage say goodbye to that extra 40% multi and it helps clear speed if you blow up a pack on the first hit.

We also maim on crit so getting that on first hit at least gives it some value , not that i value maim a heap .

For me , im wearing acuity:


This has interesting interactions with slayer but , yeah critting more often is especially good with acuity.


also if you are pushing multi further , there is the scion multi nodes next to "hired killer" pick them up. Page one is to get you into the build and going , at very good gear levels , yes for your build the 6th link may not be increased crit strikes, but at that point you should be able to figure that out.

Don't treat pob like a bible though it shows sustained dps numbers , if you are killing most things in few hits things like ruthless and crit damage are slightly less valuable than just making sure all your hits are crits (totally ignoring the elemental status effects we get from crits).

This is a pretty versatile build though , i've enjoyed talking to a heap of people who tweak it to their own likes , so for sure , tweak it how you like and let us know!

I got back into the game after having not played since 2013 and this build has been super fun to play and learn all the changes to the game so thanks a bunch for posting :)

Thanks for the tips, the build has been super fun so far so I do enjoy it. Hopefully I'll get better gear soon and do even more damage. :D

Good to hear! Let us know if I can help at all

If I were to adjust this build into a non crit status ( I know your not a big fan of Resolute) and use Resolute would I am for more physical damage instead of accuracy? and If I was to do this would there be a better skill than sunder to use? I like cyclone but I want to keep the A/SH equips or would that not even be a viable way for damage at all?

Thanks all for playing

Is this build still viable for 3.1? Does anyone know?
