Have you tried just getting any IAS 1.6 base claw or sword? Literally thats the only stat on it, high IAS. Its probably 4-5x as good as wings. The more AS on the main hand swing vs the crit on the offhand, doesnt the offhand speed kill the "feel"?

I tried abstracting so I could compare different weapons. Paradoxica, for example, is 2(double damage) * 1.56(attack speed) * 1.15(pen) * 6.5/5 = ~4.8. RWoE would be 1.375(MH attack speed averaged) * 1.35(base attack speed) * 13.2/5(OH crit averaged) * 1.1(DW attack speed) = ~5.4. A claw with T3 attack speed and crit would come in around 3.5.

Maybe it's incorrect to average out the MH and OH parts of REoW. And maybe DW attack speed shouldn't be included, but you're definitely using a shield with any other weapon.

The feel of the build was an issue, but not exactly as you're thinking. You get enough attack speed that it's difficult for you to tap a pack and not swing twice. The problem is that while bunny hopping around, I would frequently leap slam twice.

Via the same abstraction above, the second best league starting weapon is actually Foulborn Frostbreath. When I tried PoBing, the numbers were fine, but still quite a bit worse than RWoE. The lower part of the tree is ridiculous for dual wielding, block, and axes. I was struggling to find good nodes for Frostbreath. Swords would fare a bit better, but claws would be in an even worse situation.

I didn't really have any issues dual wielding the entire time as ele hit for the event. Didnt really struggle with anything until Eater/Exarch voidstones. Even red maps were mostly fine because as you said the bottom side of the tree is pretty silly for dual wield (and Aristocrat is silly for damage)

EDIT: forgot to check fortified in config first time.

This is where I wound up. I'm not a fan of the phys max hit, I think this event needed more than just 65/65 block.

Were you really cycling through 3 warcries? I'm not sure I see the point of Intimidating Cry. Why didn't you put Hits Can't Be Evaded on both weapons?

Click to expand...

That's basically my day 2 character, I hit 90 and just stopped, wasn't interested in Phrecia after all. Intimidating Cry is for the movement speed in campaign. But I basically never actually used it. Can't put crafted affixes on full affix items.

Lots of things I hadn't actually put into the build yet, several useful skill gems could have been fit in, I had no rage which is substantial.

Looks like the MH More attack speed multi on the replica wings works a lot better than I thought it would. I'll probably end up using that in the future.

After playing a few different run throughs with it I'm having a hard time coming up with another skill/starting area that is even close to as powerful both offensively and defensively as ele hit bottom of tree.

Why did you model it with 3 different ele hit gems? Did you just want to see what each element's hit damage was on one screen vs having to use the dropdown?
