Asking because bladestorm got huge buff to bleed dmg in 3.14.

Bleed causes DoT so you have to scale that. You need another tree, another ascendancy and different gear. You can use the same gear but it won't be as good.

Ya that's what I was thinking.
If it's possible and not too much work for you, you can add bleed version in this build which uses axe and shield, so that your build users will have a choice and switch if needed.

Meanwhile I'll also try doing changes and let you guys know.

I know most of this is trash since I'm in early mapping, but what should I make my top priority right now, upgrades-wise?

No one seems to mention Dreadbeak

Is it bad for this build?

Decided to go with % chance to block on chest and also running a 1% chance to block while dual wielding jewel in the tree (capped at 78%, looking to get 79% soon.

Absolutely vaporizing everything in t16 maps. Final steps would be to get a chest/ring/watcher's eye for Pride, but thats very costly right now. Running herald of purity with a % chance to block on the chest and using saviour/paradoxica still provides amazing damage

That's not a version of this build. That's a completely different build. If you end up making something good you can write your own guide about it. GL.

Well it's not trash. I'd start with Maligaro's. They're pretty cheap and if you have decent crit chance they'll give you a big damage boost. After that probably get a good armour with flat life and life%.

It's not bad but it's worse that a Rigwalds for example which costs 1c or so because it has no block.

Doing amazing with this build, can someone more experienced tell me what i should consider upgrading? And can you tell me how much is my rigwalds worth in chaos orbs?

well, checking your profile you are still using a Tabula, so I would start there, tabula is nice and 6-links but you get nothing else

and organize your flasks, they are kinda all over the place, get the ones the guide suggests at least

also, fix your gem links, or try to set everything you need, they look like you just finished act 10 even though you are level 80+

Thanks for the help with the guide, I’m close to lvl 89 and doing lvl 13/14 red maps without much issue but ultimatums give me some trouble. What would be the best way to progress from the gear I have now? I’m playing on console so gear is fairly expensive, I have about 3ex I can spend on gear for now though.

If by "some trouble" you mean you die, I think the answer is obvious. Lose the Abyssus. You get a lot of damage from it but it's very rippy. Get a good rare. Also change the prismatic. It's a leveling sword. I'd suggest going Impale too.

So earlier in this thread i had some issues with the POB (still do). But i was interested in a dual wield block build and i like blade storms mechanics so i pushed on.

I tried this build in both SSF Ultimatum and then after feeling quite lackluster i wanted to see if it had real endgame potential, anyways, after consolidating a lot of my gear into the build, i take back my earlier comments of it not being viable.

This is what i used to kill everything in the game from, the feared to maxed sirus and everything in between. Will say though i could pretty much swap any melee skill into the bladestorm spot at this level and get similar performance. Id even go as far to say that the exact same build but lacerate over bladestorm was far superior clear.

If you wanted to use lacerate with this kind of setup, just swap out close combat for awakened multi-strike and put your lacerate in and good to go.



the stuff i used.



Self buffed hideout dps, all flasks, totem down.



Setup allows u to run all the auras, pride, precision at lvl 15, blood and sand, flesh and stone and dread banner. My blade storm costs 2 mana.

With curse on ring you can go with life gain on hit in your offhand with riposte / vengeance for extra survivability.

If you want to be really fancy you can go whispers of doom on amulet, put riposte, awakened hextouch lvl5 and get a total of 4 curses, temp chains/enfeeble, vulnerability, warlords/assasins on ring or gem then move your curse setup to boots/glove/helm if not using abyss slots.

Ryslathas belt is almost another million dps for me but i like the chaos resist and damage was a non issue. Id suggest ryslathas over stygian in non ultra min-maxed setups.

Not possible to do uber atziri without some kind of reflect rings, i used sybils lament and a crafted reflect ring and was able to barely stop 1 shotting myself.

Anyways, this is about as far as you can take it before mirrored stuff. It works, kills everything with any mods in seconds. Was actually surprised.
