Ethan's Self Made Dual wielding Dyrad - Build Discussion

[player1 0]

INTRODUCTION

Tired of playing that same old range dyrad well this is something new for everyone to try and its a dual weilding. with this build you can pretty much become your own self sufficent high elf but better. you will be able to mob groups and champions and kill em with ease. you will also be able to take out alot of the games bosses. But this build is something new and just made in abt 2hours. so I hope u enjoy this build as much as I did staying up to make it.

 

 

SKILLS

 

Level2 Capricious Hunter Focus- you want to keep this at your level to keep the regen times down for ravged impact, darting assualt and forest flight.

Level3 Enhanced Perception - pump points into it every now and then to get bargining.

Level5 sword weapon lore- ok I changed it to sword weapons lore. because u need 1 point to get the bouneses and 5 points to get the dual weilding.

Level8 Nature Weaver Focus- by this point you should have capricious hunter focus at level 5 and u can start pumping points into here you also want to keep this at your level

Level12 dual weilding- why did we pick dual weilding at level 12 easy because by this point you should have more than enough points added into sword weapons and you get the nice bounses from having sword weapon lore.

Level18 combat reflexes- I hate picking skills im not going to use but it seems like all the dyrad good defense skills are all secondary and this is the only one you have to pick before getting armor lore and constution.

Level 25 Constution- You wont to get this skill to 75 by the time you hit 75 so with 4 skill points pump into capricious hunter and nature weaver still and add the 1 point here and 1 point to dual weild until you have dual weilding where you want it.

Level 35 ARMOR LORE- why so late, well you need constution and for this build evsaion is always nice to have from the combat reflexes. And by the time you hit level 35 you will just now be getting the good armor.

Level 50 Bargaining- why so late well. by the time your level 50 you are problay just getting finshed with the sliver camping and we been to busy trying to keep you alive long enough to get you here with the healing and what nots.

Level 65 Tactis lore- we are taking tactis lore so late because until this point u really dont need the additonal chance for crictal hits.

 

 

 

 

COMBAT ARTS **CAUTION** JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE FOCUS INSTEAD OF LORE DONT MESMRIZE A CRAP LOAD OF RUNES FOR MAXIUM DAMAGE AND SKY HIGH REGEN TIMES STAY AT AROUND 10 TILL 40 ARE SO

 

 

Ravaged impact is going to be are way to deal with champions. its already going to have a low regen time so I say consume about 10 runes for it until abt 50 then consume abt 15 are so. the upgrade tree I picked was Perforate>Breach>Blast I picked these because were going to be dealing damage with swords and I mean we are going to be doing damage over time too. perforate gives you a chance to inflict open wounds on a enemy, Breach gives you a chance to Ignore there armor all togthere, and blast gives you a chance that an explosion will hapen when it hits them.

Darting Assault is going to be are main way to deal with mobs. as I said above its going to have a low regen time but still consume 10 runes by level 40 abt 5 at 20 and so on. The upgrade tree im going with for this is going to be Edged>Throwback> and Rotate. Edged will increase the damage darting assult does while Throwback will give you some breathing room to heal up. And Rotate will be the move that hits all the enemies around you.

Forest Flight yall are problay wondering WHY? Well the reason I picked this spell is the same reason why I you have shadow step on a high elf to get in and deal damage. at the bronze stage its hard to pick what skill you should pick you either get Healing during your forest flight are a added chance to root opponets...... im going with Recovery>Expert>Escape. Recovery heals you during your forest flight Expert will lower the regen time of the spell and escape will give you a added chance to break imbolizing spells.

 

 

So were not going to put nature weaver in complete waste. were going to use it to the maxium of its ability.

Edaphic Lances is the first spell. As I said above with the raveged impact and darting assult your going to have low regen times do to focus instead of lore. so im picking this spell for the Area of Effect damage it does were going to with Thorns>Stings>Singe. were going to increase the amount of thons. and were also going to increase the type of damage your thorns deal out by giving it more physical and a elemental twist on it by adding fire.

Tangled Vines ahh a favoirte of holding bosses in there tracks. So this spell is pretty good when used right and with the right people. For this tree were going to use Sprawl>Singe>Intent. the idea behind this is that the longer hes held still the more fire damage you can do and the more damge you can do by landing crits.

Acute Mind. yes finaly a spell that lowers the regen time of the spells (and its self). this spell is excelent to use becuase it lowers the regen times of mainly all are combat arts. the tree looks something like this Proficiency>Insight>Easiness. with proficiency it lowers the cooldown time of acute mind. a added bounses to intel (which should increase the damage of lance's and tangled vines) and easiness which will decrease it even more

 

 

 

BUFF

So are only buff will be Ancient bark this is the KEY to this build. without it you can and problay will die against every mob and every boss you fight.... you have been warned. wth ancient bark the key is to increase are defense and to gain that HP regen to like the HE gets. so for are skill tree we are going to go with Rugged>Divert>Invigorate. So we increased are defense values, we have a chance to reflect attacks back at there opponets and we heal up. so theres not really a downfall to this buff but the fact that your very vurnable to fire.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Armor& Weapons

Armor this is the Tricky part becuase your running two different aspects so we are going to mix it up a bit. by throwing on Helmet of Thorns, Detheya's Protection, Shoulderings of the Nettles, Detheya's Wrist Guards, Belt of Twines, Detheya's Greaves, And Boots of the Vine Leaves. with These Pieces of equiment you get the best of both. You also get some Fire Defense. Also have some fire releics to add on to the fire defense. And for weapons. thats hard to pick go with something that leechs life like Ysandrifa's Law in both hands so you can get massive life back from every hit.

 

OVERVIEW

I say this build will do wonders if in the right hands. as long as you keep ancinent bark up at all times I dont see how you will die. with constuition and ancient bark healing you. and the relics covering the Fire down side. and you got some armor covering the downside to fire also. have fun and enjoy.

Level12 dual weilding- why did we pick dual weilding at level 12 easy because by this point you should have more than enough points added into sword weapons and you get the nice bounses from having sword weapon lore.

...

Level 65 the last skill is up to you.

...

 

I don't see sword lore in your list of skills.

Since he only used 9 skills I would assume sword lore is in there somewhere. Looks like someone didn't look over there work before turning it in......

humm, you need ever only put 1 point in sword lore, to unlock the bonuses the swords may have.

 

more are a waste, dual wield replaces the bonus from sword lore.

 

unless you intend to use a sword that requires mastery, imho a waste of 74 points.

This is very similar to the INT melee dryads.

 

But without insane damage potential.
