This guide is WIP!

This build revolves around Dual Strike of Ambidexterity and Trickster. This is the "true" melee build. No shooting out projectiles or covering the whole screen with one attack. As always the build is extremely Tonky and can facetank uber bosses and do harder 8 moded maps. The build damage scales with your maximum energy shield because Ephemeral Edge

Dual Stike of Ambidexterity Explained

You always want two DIFFERENT type of weapon with this skill. This skill is using for attack speed your off-hand weapon speed.

In the off hand a fast weapon. The higher the attack speed is the better. Damage on this one is not matters.

On the Main hand you want a slow weapon with very high damage.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Unique weapons Explained

How the skill is works we need to choose two different type of weapon while trying to maintain the build Tonkiness.

Main hand weapon: Ephemeral Edge You need the high roll version: Attacks with this Weapon have Added Maximum Lightning Damage equal to 15% of Player's Maximum Energy Shield. We scaling our damage with the maximum energy shield.


Off-hand weapon: Essentia Sanguis This claw is giving us huge attack speed and energy shield other stats on this one is kinda whatever because Trickster already has over leech with Soul Drinker but saves us one point on the tree for the Ghost Reaver

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Frenzy, endurance charges

Frenzy:

You will get this one from your body armour implicit every 15 seconds. We dont need to worry about every 15 part because Swift Killer increasing the chrge duration to 30 seconds.


Endurance:

We will use a small cluster jewel for this one. Enduring Composure

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Leveling


There is two way to level this build.

Method 1:

Dual Strike of Ambidexterity is avaible at level 1 but its kinda bad at this level so we can use Cobra Lash to level with it till level 28. You want to rush the claw nodes Claws of the Magpie then you can swap to the skill. This is the leveling PoB. You always need to use DIFFERENT type of weapons otherwise the skill is not usable.

Upgrades after campaing: PoB

Before swap to endgame version: PoB


Method 2:

You can use Doedre's Scorn foulborn variant with level 30 Impending Doom Support. Here is the leveling PoB You only need to reach level 39 and you will destroy the whole campaing. Even later you can play it till like level 84 if you wish.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Crafting


Most of the crafts is easy to make just sadly RNG heavy. Keep this in mind. You can increase your chances to get something you want with Fractured mods on the strating item.

Before you trying expensive methods that you will see in this section ALWAYS double or triple check on this site to protect yourself from bricking your items: https://www.craftofexile.com/


You can check here what mods an item can roll and what rolls you got.

ALWAYS CHECK THE MARKET BEFORE YOU CRAFTING MAYBE THERE IS ON FOR SALE WITH GOOD MODS.



Body armour:


1. You need Necrotic armour as your base (Item level 84+). Now you have two options: Get a fractured mod with evasion and energy shield or Suppression

2. Dense fossil till you hit very high energy shield and evasion. But ofc dont forget every little energy shield matters. So if you have currency just get a good roll.

3. If you rich enough you can use eldritch chaos orbs and reforge suffix till you hit T1 int and suppression. This can be very expensive.

4. You have open suffix craft suppression.

5. Get the eldritch implicits:

- Eater of worlds (blue one) Phys damage taken as chaos ( do not use while there is a unique enemy in your presence)

- Searing exarch (red one) Gain a Frenzy Charge every 15 seconds ( you get this with lesser one)


Helmet:


1. Buy a Lich Circlet with fractured Energy shield and stun block recovery mod (Tier 1-3 if it possible)
2. Use Deafening Essence of Woe. This will grant flat energy shield
3. Do this till you getting high energy shield!
4. Get the eldritch implicits: Eater of worlds (blue one) Physical damage taken as Chaos (do not get while there is a unique enemy nearby)
Searing exarch (red one) Mana cost effiency


Gloves:



1. Buy a Warlock Gloves with fractured Energy shield and stun block recovery mod (Tier 1-3 if it possible) (Item level 84+)
2. Use Deafening Essence of Woe. This will grant flat energy shield
3. Do this till you getting high energy shield!
4. Get the eldritch implicits: Eater of worlds (blue one) Lightning exposure (do not get while there is a unique enemy nearby)
Searing exarch (red one) Non-Vaal Strike Skills target 1 additional nearby Enemy



Boots:


1. Buy a Warlock Boots with fractured Flat energy shield or 30% movement speed mod (Tier 1 if it possible for energy shield) (Item level 84+)

2. Energy shield or Move speed Essence till you hit high energy shield. 150+ is good

3. Get the eldritch implicits: Eater of worlds (blue one) % chance to Avoid Elemental Ailments

Searing exarch (red one) % chance to Avoid being Shocked (you get this with greater one)


Clusters:

This is VERY hard and heavy RNG. (there is a reason the already crafted ones is like 6-8+ divine)

You only can do this two method:

  1. Reforge Attack or fossil and hoping you hitting it.
  2. Alt+Aug+Regal. You can use the league mechanic for this one.

Honestly it is very bad because we looking very low weighted notables.
