Would leap slam work in this build? Id rather have leapslam because jumping over terrain. Whirling blades is annoying when you get stuck on terrain

If you need leap slam, could just use separate weapon set with it to hop over anything, then switch back. Tis what I do for that lame unique sandstorm pillar map. Claws and Daggers are what work best with this build, other weapon nodes are very far away. Maybe you could attempt dual wielding swords but at that point you're much better off starting as Duelist or Marauder imo.

That's the melee build I was looking for. It melts almost everything. Almost because my eq is garbage, but clearing trash mobs is marvelously fast. I'm using Ancestral Call in place of Multistrike.
For single target I'm currently using Added Fire Dmg, haven't checked dps with EDwA yet.
Gotta do that.
Even though I'm currently @3,6k life - Blind and Basalt/Granite flasks and leech from claws/passives are really doing the job. I also love the passive tree, it's very well thought.
My garbage eq I haven't even bother to update in like last 5lvls because it all goes so smoothly:


Looking forward to get another Ascendancy points, few more lvls and better gear. I can feel it will rip things apart then.

btw. Is it possible to effectively go for a poison-orientated build with Dual Strike, this gem and reworks done to Assassin Ascendancy in 3.2?

Could you replace HoA with HoT? https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Herald_of_Thunder

So I just put in a 6L setup for Belly/ Stark into PoB and the gem setup that seems to give the best DPS is Dual Strike, Maim, MultiStrike, Added Fire (or Chance to Bleed), Ruthless, Melee Physical Damage.

Out of curiousity I checked out the link setup with BoR to see what is best and Dual Strike, Maim (or Added Fire), Multistrike, Ruthless is the setup that seems to output the most as well.

Am I missing something here or is the gem setup in the guide outdated? I know my gear/ flasks etc. aren't the best but that shouldn't effect this. Just trying to get the most out of my gems :)

Is Bino's still the best choice for daggers? Just one or two? What is your true opinion on the dagger variant of this build? I only like daggers because of holding them backwards and looking cool, but will do claws if it is just that much better. Vulconus looks awesome but idk how that works with this build. I'm pretty new so my mechanic knowledge is kinda low lmao.

Could I use a Hungry Loop Unset Ring? or are the stats on the ring you use important?

Just started mapping and got my setup atm so would you mind taking a look seeing if i can improve anything ? also what should i look towards upgrading too late game what items are needed to push those late game bosses for our build ?

Is this better than the Wasp nest?

Just want to say that I am new to the game and am using your build in SSF HC, and its fun so far but I keep dying.

Hi again, Thanks for your build so far. Just finished act 10 and started mapping. My life pool is currently 2.7k @lvl 67 and resistances are not capped. Could you take a quick look at my profile and advise what items I should be purchasing first?

Thanks
