duelist survival

I wouldn't take armguards with any of these builds. They are partially INT based and you really don't need the little bit of energy shield you'll get from them. Using a shield in general though is definitely viable.

Here's a DEX based FC sword & shield Duelist that I may try myself at some point too. http://poezone.ru/skilltree/#84 He's a bit low on life.. but I think it will work out well with the extra evasion on the shield. Iron Reflexes is optional but I think it would help in this build.

i'd prefer more sturdy character.
but i'm also an IAS addict , 12% from armguard is good, atm without it i don't feel like i'm more resilient and i just feel my AS decrease and DPS also.
i'm only lev 31 in cruel, and i think i'll see this weakness slightly later (atm with around 740 dps on flickers it's fun)...

I understand that the other mods on the armguard sucks, may be it could work with iron reflexes (too much far in the Dex tree for me but ...)?

if flicker strike is not too much nerfed with the new patch i think ill stick to this kind of character almost exclusively...

cleave all the way! ;)

FaceLicker somehow i can't see skill points in your given links, i would appreciate that information. You see currently im 62 lvl Duelist with dual wield swords, and basically i feel useless even in merciless games, and chaos im just meat shield to die in few second. Since im using lots of red gems, i find really hard to roll dexterity items with at least 3 red spots, so i would prefer going for heavy armor, given that i already have end game heavy armor.

Basically for me would be enough that i could see those skill points, at least for dual wield with good survival or well rounded character.
Also i wonder if Dexterity body armor can have 6 connected slots.


Here's the link to my current stats and passives if you willing to look at them:

At the moment Cleave DPS: ~2000, Dual wield DPS: ~2000, Flicker dps: ~3000
Armor ~1900 with 48% damage reduction.

I will greatly appreciate any help.

Well.. you shouldn't be useless in Merciless. I have a 2h Duelist build with about the same DPS and armor and Merciless to me is like child's play it's just that easy. I do have considerably more Life though.

I took a look at your build and made a few revisions. I tried to keep it almost the same as what you have now.

http://poezone.ru/skilltree/#dY - Evasion Based
If you want defense, you have to sacrifice some DPS. With this build you lose some DPS, but you gain 46% Life + 1% Regen, 50% Evasion, and ~20% Attack Speed. The attack speed should make up a little bit for the loss in DPS and Accuracy but you'll have to keep an eye on your Mana a little more. This build retains the DEX based armor and Iron Reflexes.

You have enough STR on your current build to equip the highest level STR armors. You just need to get rid of Iron Reflexes if you do that. In which case, the evasion passives really will not benefit you.. so I made an alternate Armor build here http://poezone.ru/skilltree/#dZ. Again you get 46% Life + 1% Regen. You also gain 26% Armor and 16% Attack Speed. You don't lose nearly as much DPS or Accuracy with this build but you are losing a little bit in armor and you also lose just 10 DEX and STR.

If you're having trouble taking hits, maybe try Enduring Cry + Warlord's Mark? I realize you have the INT nodes for Temporal Chains, but sometimes Warlord's Mark is the better choice.

And yes, all torso, or body armor, can have 6 sockets. STR, INT, or DEX

Well thank you for your help Facelicker, as soon as i get decent time to play definitively will try those changes.

I myself am making a duelist but im shooting for dual axes. would you mind helping me w a build facelicker. im not sure what skill gems i should go either. im liking cleave and heavenly strike thus far.. and flicker is great as well. i agree with your previous posts and i wouldnt mind less dps for more survive-ability.
