At the beginning of the Duelist is 'Mana Flows' which gives you the 20 int to use HoA

125 INt needed for ur highest blue gem.

u got +30 and + 27 or something on ur gear.
Not a single int node in the passive tree :p

Impossible to get that high int.

How are u doing this?

He also has 2 to 3 times +20 INT and STR passives. Thats 97 to 117 INT, + base 14 INT = 111 to 131 and he also has an item with reduced atribute requirements.

I can only find 2x +10 int and strenght nodes.

what kind of jewel do you use?

Very happy with this build. It was a little slow out of the gate but once you start to piece together and add to Earthquake (in my case) you really become unstoppable. The only way I can die is either through stacks of corrupting blood or being hit from full to zero in one swing but that RARELY happens.


(My gem layout is kind of silly)

I have Fortify linked in my BoR so I essentially have it permanently as I have another linked to leap slam. Maybe not the most ideal setup but it's pretty beefy.

Defensive stats



Still working on health and armor. Right now I only have 3 endurance charges but BoR ensures that they're always up even with being a chance on a chance. I should have my defensives covered in 8 levels.

Offensive stats



Works out to mobs dying real fast. It won't one-shot bosses but I'm not in any real danger of death either but I'm only in T4/5 maps at the moment.

Don't know if you've mentioned it but are there any Izaio enchantments you think work well with this build?

The list of all existing enchantments is HUGE: http://omegak2.net/poe/enchantments.html
So there's quite a lot of things which would be good for this build.

Life and physical damage/attack speed. You don't need block on jewels since we have max block anyway.
