Duelist - [3.9] Turtroll Sweep Impale Double Curse 12M DPS - Forum

Intro
Hi guys welcome to my 4th build post and my last for this league!

Sweep is a really underrated skill because it is basically cyclone without immunity stun, but Sweep hits harder per hit than cyclone giving impale stacks a stronger multiplier.

My previous build was a Saviour Cyclone Champion and i respecc 8 points for this build. So if you ever feel bored of this build, you can easily transition into my Saviour Cyclone or vice versa. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2756834

PROS::
- High DPS, good boss killer build
- Pretty nice clear because of Sweep AoE
- 7k Life pool, able to hit higher if you forego some damage
- Double curse, very versatile able to run different combination of curse for your needs
- Sounds really cool KEKW

CONS::
- Cannot do physical reflection/ no leech
- Get one shotted to high physical damage moves, because of Abyssus
- Can be quite expensive, due to Watcher's Eye/ Crafting the Chest/ High roll Starforge

My Current Gear (sub-optimal gears, definitely room for upgrades)

Gears Explanation

Spoiler

Helmet

Spoiler

Abyssus just gives a lot of damage. A rare helmet with high life is fine as well if you want a tankier build, damage will still be high enough.

Weapon

Spoiler

Starforge just provides so much damage, the shock effect is extremely good as well. The extra life is just a cherry on the top. A 6-link is not required.

Amulet

Spoiler

Look for high flat physical damage added, critical strike multiplier and life. Anoint Discpline and Training for more HP

Rings

Spoiler

Steel/Diamond/Vermillion Rings are good bases. Look for high HP, flat physical damage added and resistances.

Chest

Spoiler

Basically the star of the build, gives us double curse and also additional critical strike chance for consistent crits. High life rolls are extremely nice as well

Gloves

Spoiler

Spiked gloves very good base for melee. Look for life, flat damage, attack speed and resistances.

Belt

Spoiler

Stygian vise/ Leather belt are nice rare bases. Stygian vise is good because of the abyssal jewel for more life and damage. Rythalas Coil is a decent unique belt as well.

Boots

Spoiler

Two-toned boots very good base. Look for life, move speed and resistances. If possible look for boots with Tail Wind on Critical Strike, this gives the DPS a nice boost.

Flasks

Spoiler

Flask craft removal of ailments. The flasks are basically to boost our DPS

Jewels

Spoiler

Look for life, attack speed and critical strike multiplier. Watcher's eye with additional 2 impale hit is a HUGE DPS boost, if you are rich you can buy a Watcher's Eye with "Deal double damage while affected by Pride" with 2 impale hits.

Skill Gems

Spoiler

Sweep

Spoiler

Multistrike is really nice, able to stack our impale faster and the attack speed is really nice

Aura

Spoiler

Basically auras to increase our physical damage. Enlighten Lvl 4 is required.

Guard Skill

Spoiler

Molten shell is really nice guard skill.

Curse Set-up

Spoiler

Level 1 CWDT linked to 2 curse gems. Do not exceed curse gems over minimum requirement over CDWT support. Enfeeble really good defensive to prevent critical strikes from one shotting us. Assassin's mark provides a lot of damage for critical builds and the frenzy/power charges adds damage as well. For more damage, Vulnerability + Assassin's Mark is nice. Curse set up is up to you.

Utility Skills (More DPS)

Spoiler

Vaal ancestral warchief linked to some support for more DPS. Blood rage is really nice because of attack speed. Vaal haste is used for more DPS for bosses, vaal grace alternatively can be used for more defensive purposes.

Movement Skill

Spoiler

Leap Slam KEKW

Ascendancy

Spoiler

Conqueror->Worthy Foe->Master of Metal->First to Strike, Last to Fall

Pantheon

Spoiler

Solaris and Shakari

Bandit

Spoiler

Kill all. Alira if you are low on budget and unable to cap resistance.

Blood vs Sand Stances

Spoiler

Sand Stance is really nice for mapping, more AoE and nearby enemies blinded. The defense from sand stance is really nice against packs, as we already have more than enough damage to kill packs. During bossing, blood stance is good for more DPS.

Proccing Adrenaline Before Boss

Spoiler

Not necessary. Link Blood magic to an Aura in your offhand, using the aura will reserve your life and proc Adrenaline from your ascendancy giving huge damage boost.
