Obviously you lose frenzy charges, but PoB still shows it as really good DPS even if it does have less range than a foil. Highest total dps. Ahn's might is still really popular, but it's just a bit slow and you can't get frenzy charges because we don't use blood rage with it. If it's a dps increase, you should still probably dual wield them. When you say slow, you just mean that it's harder to get a high DPS number with damage*attack speed with the attack speed being so slow, correct?

Can I get a recommendation? I've got about 10 ex to spend. It feels like I should just keep savings for 2 10ex-ish 440DPS foils?	Posted by Tailesveng on Jul 13, 2019, 8:03:15 PM Quote this Post

As in the damage per second is higher, but the attacsk per second is lower so you leap slam slower (so you clear maps slower) but your damage against bosses is higher. It's not harder to get a high DPS number because Ahn's might has A LOT more damage per hit, but with less attacks per second compared to similarly priced foils. So overall it's still much higher dps.

At a budget of only 10 ex, personally I'd just buy two <5ex foils with "chance to impale" crafted on with as high pdps as you can get. The difference between 380pdps and 420 pdps for example really isn't that high. Only get the chance to impale with attacks if you're not planning on getting Forceful Skewering anytime soon. Also you need to get Swift Skewering asap, that node is NOT optional. It's a 20-30% more multiplier, if not even more than that. Your current chance to impale is 60% which is really low. Drop Rampart, Razor's Edge (and maybe Soul of Steel) for Swift Skewering + Honed Edge + Eagle Eye. Rampart sucks because you have no way of getting fortify except from your leap slam - which means you won't be getting fortify against bosses. If you want to keep Rampart, switch melee physical damage support for a fortify support - then replace fortify on your leap slam for blood magic maybe or something similar. Also you need more int on your gear to get rid of the int nodes on the tree. Also path to born to fight for both more dps and more life.	Posted by MAlandM on Jul 13, 2019, 9:06:46 PM Quote this Post

I adjusted the skill tree as you suggested, I'll let you know how that turns out. PoB doesn't suggest swift skewering is that powerful, but maybe my calc assumptions are bad or it's off, I dunno. I agree with need more INT. I think I need to change my rings and ammy, but I'm trying to figure out the maim chest which everyone seems to rave over, but PoB doesn't show it as very significant. Should I drop soul of steel for forceful skewering?	Posted by Tailesveng on Jul 13, 2019, 10:58:58 PM Quote this Post
I kind of started with the slayer build and went my own way, wondering where youd go from here that lethal pride jewel gives 5% double dmg, 10% intimidate on hit, 30% melee crit strike, 20% melee dmg, 10% reduced extra damage from crits, +15% all res, 36% evasion/armour... for only 2 skill points deviation, its really silly tbh.
