Not an experienced builder, but is there a reason why you get all that dexterity from Fangs of the Viper to right by Aspect of the Lynx in the passive tree instead of going along the outside until the life or frenzy charges? It would save 2 passive points, unless I'm not seeing something else

Dude, I'm loving this build. Works just as good in 3.1 as it did in 3.0. One of the cheapest builds I've seen and i didn't pay a scroll for the BoR, got it FREE off of someone because I didn't have the currency to buy it (I'm poor I know). But again, Say_Ten, I absolutely love this build, it has the damage and sustain I was looking for, although I die a time or 2 here and there to stupid things but other than that, great build! I changed up the weapons to 2 of Mortem Morsu, Fright Claws for increased Chaos damage and tons of Physical Damage.

When a Bloodseeker is equipped in the main hand and using skills that attacks with both hands, such as Dual Strike, the leech will be instant for both weapons.

Alright, I played with this build to Tier 15 maps and it's still great. I really recommend to use a Bloodseeker in main hand. According to the wiki:

When a Bloodseeker is equipped in the main hand and using skills that attacks with both hands, such as Dual Strike, the leech will be instant for both weapons.

And it helps A LOT, especially now that instant leech is rare. You cant really die in other ways than oneshots.

Besides that, buy an Abyss belt. Cheap and you can socket it with an Abyss jewel (for even more life). You would need a Murderous Eye Jewel if you want claw modifiers.

I'll have to check the Abyss stuff out eventually. Just seriously need a break from the game.

Did you plug any of that into PoB to see what the life/sec recovery rate is? I always found that based on the small hits, you would still be better off with the LGoH claws with the fast attack speed. Plus then you can run no leech maps if you need to as well.
