wielding 2 swords or claws is always lower dps, then the higher dps weapon plus a statstick, you need to unchecl Unholy Might in PoB when unequipping Death's hand ;)

I dont get this, also why we cant use bloodseeker in offhand in budget version?

EDIT: just noticed the changes to Bloodseeker claws, that make the budget version pretty crappy as Duelist and Duelist Ascendant, so I deleted the Duelist budget version and adjusted the Scion to Berserker/Raider skill tree. Sorry for that!

Blade Flurry:
Dual wielding: The skill alternates between the main hand and the offhand for each hit.

So if 6th stage hit would be with statstick = lower damage or with bloodseeker = instant leech

huh? no no no^^

BF can be used with swords, claws and daggers only. So if you're doing the sword version with your statstick being an axe, that makes BF only being used by the other weapon (the sword in this case) while getting the dualwield and global boni from the statstick.

anyway, the bloodseeker version does not use a statstick, it uses 2 claws. no matter which claw is in mainhand or offhand, BF alternates between both weapons after each hit. This results in instant leech from bloodseeker's hits and noninstant leech from the other claw's hits.

I hope this could clear things up :)

Does the skill alternate between MH-OH if the OH is a weapon that can't use BF?

I'm using Brightbeak in my OH for levelling, for example.

no, Brightbeak is a mace and BF only works with Daggers, Swords and Claws

everthing fine here

So, I've gotta ask...do you see much difference playing with IAoE?

There's a big difference running with Concentrated Effect, because further pack members don't die and you are at risk from ranged mobs a lot more.

However, if I don't run either Conc Effect or IAoE, I see very little difference between that an IAoE. I am using Increased Critical Strikes instead, and not really seeing anything noticeable.

It's tough to be sure when the AoE for BF is so....vague.

Can anyone advise on this? Is it a significant difference to use IAoE?

I'm not sure about you, but i ran like 1000 maps so far with budget build and i'm almost there to upgrade to 7 mil version and i can say YES IAoE changes are noticeable.

IAoE gives u 49 at max level, when i'm running maps with 20-25% less AoE mod i feel those maps are cancerous (like temporal chain) because running them is just too slow, i should always move with whirling blade to get closer so i can hit the whole pack, so if i can feel 20-25% for sure 49% is a bigger deal and it makes clearing maps way faster (at least for me).

I was even thinking about taking some AoE nods on tree to make clearing even faster, there is 2 8% IAoE and 1 10% damage in top left corner of scions starting point.

And for critical Strikes you shouldn't need that unless your crit chance is low and i don't think u need more damage for mobs.

Thanks for the feedback.

Guess IAoE doesn't make enough diff while levelling, but does later.

IncAoe does help a lot when mapping, if you are fine without it while leveling up sure, replace it

What gears/weapon would you consider for a vaal pact build for a more dps/budget build? before getting hands on acuity

hmm for a vaal pact version we should consider to drop the slayer ascendancy, unless you reslly aim for getting Acuity pretty soon.
if you wish, link the stuff you already have your hands on, abd I try to make a solid build with it for you
