Duelist - [3.17] Beerleague's Shockwave Cyclone Slayer - Optimized with Options - Forum

Hi BeerLeague, Trying to leveling to 100 but I could die sometimes on high 13-16 tier map. I have enough DPS but want to maximize my defense/survival as losing 10% on dead is quite pain. I was thinking to swap the Grace gem with Determination gem, then change the watcher eye with "15% increased movement speed while affected by Grace" to with "60% reduced extra damage from critical strike while affected by Determination"? Do you think this will increase my survival? Or you have better suggestion to increase my survival?

Yo just wanted to say I was following Ahfack's build and switched to this one. My sheet DPS nearly doubled immediately after fixing the passive tree and now I'm running lab/T10 maps no problem and Izaro doesan't even threaten me anymore If anyone wants to see how lab goes on a baddie playing this build, I recorded a really mediocre run https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTA_KJWNZh4 Thanks mate!

You should have plenty of dps for the boss phases so switch out a couple of the flasks for health ones.	Posted by casper0010 on Apr 8, 2018, 4:50:32 PM Quote this Post

Use worm jar before going into traps, you will take no damage due to the overkill leech	Posted by theFoffo on Apr 8, 2018, 7:08:53 PM Quote this Post

Should we try to shock stuff? With Starforge and RT our physical damage kind of "can shock", but has zero chance to do it. So we probably can with additional sources of chance to shock. There are shocking jewels and there is also a 10% shocking boots enchantment, like I have on me right now. Theoretically shock can add a lot of damage. However all small stuff gets wiped out in split second anyway and I am not sure about having enough dmg to shock bosses. Any thoughts? 2. Vaal pact. I'd need eight extra points on passive tree to get it (I have a mana leech ring and skipped the leech passive tree). I'd lose about 7% of flat life regen. I'd also lose some QoL with traps, jumps and panic moments. Will I get enough to compensate? I haven't tried Shaper, Uber Elder and Uber Atziri so far, but I've comfortly killed the rest of content without VP. 1. You are correct, we can shock, but need the chance from a jewel or boots. The boots IMO are not wort, as you can get attack speed there which is much better. The jewel is worth if you arnt giving up a dps stat are it comes for free IMO. It only adds 1-5% dps against big targets, which is nice, but not amazing. I wouldnt prioritize it, but it is nice to have. 2. w/ worm flask you dont even notice you have VP on. I have run probably a 1000 labs on this build w/o ever coming close to death. You can literally ignore traps w/ that much overleach and armor. VP on slayer feels like old instantly leach and it allows you to play much more dangerously in those fights, IMO it is worth.	Posted by BeerLeague on Apr 8, 2018, 7:59:08 PM Quote this Post

Also, if you really want to level, drop dps nodes and focus on armor / reduced critical damage nodes on the tree. Finally, in T13-15 we have more than enough dps, so you can drop maim/ damage on full life for fortify and take the fortify wheel.	Posted by BeerLeague on Apr 8, 2018, 8:01:09 PM Quote this Post

Much appreciated. That was the reason for writing the guide in the first place. His is/was fine for content two years ago, its dated now though.

Brutality > Melee Phys > Maim > Ruthless > Faster Attacks - Conc is also an option, but IMO it makes the radius too small.	Posted by BeerLeague on Apr 8, 2018, 8:04:29 PM Quote this Post
