~ [1.0.1.0] Dual Wielding Vitality Witchblade - The Soul Eater ~

Videos :
Ultimate Mad Queen
Ultimate Fabius
Ultimate Mad Queen (Alternative Setup with Dread Armor of Azragor + Demonslayer’s Hat)

The concept of this build is converting physical damage from Soldier (especially Cadence - Deadly Momentum) to vitality using “Physical Damage converted to Vitality Damage” stacking from Items. Then boost the Vitality damage via Devotion constellations and gear.

Warborn give nice bonus to Soldier’s Cadence + Flat Physical damage.

Damage conversion is interesting,
with same concept, we can make another damage conversion builds from physical damage.
Here’s another example for Aether build

And this one convert Elemental Damage to Physical

DW Vitality Witchblade - The Soul Eater

Grimtools :

Grimtools doesn’t add +skills from relic completion bonuses, so it only shows 9/10 Vulnerability in the grimtools. It should be 10/10
(Press ‘s’ on Grimtools to see the Skills Tree and Devotion)

Physical to Vitality Conversion :

Vitality Booster (This is not DotA item) :
From Gear

From Component

From Skills

From Devotion Constellations

AoE Damage :

  • Wendigo’s Mark bound to CoF
  • Acid Spray bound to Cadence
  • Damnation’s Feast of Soul
  • Voidsteel Gauntlets Witchblaze
  • Boneshatter Treads Shattering Force
  • Relic Solaels Decimation (0.5 second recharge)
  • Blitz - Blindside
  • Cadence Tree
  • Counter Strike

Alternative Setup :
Thanks to Safarel that suggest me to use Demonslayer for alternative gear.
If you don’t have Full Warborn set, you can try this alternative gear (Warborn set is better anyway)

Dread Armor of Azragor + Demonslayer’s Hat


Grimtools : http://www.grimtools.com/calc/r2BYWKNA
Mad Queen

Demonslayer’s Jacket + Demonslayer’s Hat


Grimtools : http://www.grimtools.com/calc/a2Epw7Nd

Dread Armor of Azragor is better than Demonslayer’s Jacket as alternative gear

~Reserved~

+1 for another build.
-1 for Warborn usage.

Yet still nice to see some more vitality builds. How about a non Warborn version?

Grimtools doesn’t add +skills from relic completion bonuses… just an FYI.

Well, the concept of this build is converting physical damage from Soldier (especially Cadence - Deadly Momentum) to vitality using “Physical Damage converted to Vitality Damage” stacking from Items. Then boost the Vitality damage via Devotion Constellations.
Warborn give nice bonus to Soldier’s Cadence + Flat Physical damage. That’s why I choose it :slight_smile:

If you, or our other friends have a better suggestion about non Warborn gear, please let me know :slight_smile:

May be I’ll continue update the post tomorrow.

EDIT : Perhaps someone that has Crucible DLC can test this build, since I don’t have Crucible.
Just curious how it performs on Crucible DLC

Oh,I see…

Thank you for letting me know :wink:

I’ll add the grimtools link in the first post :slight_smile:

2 piece of demonslayer (chest and hat) fits well for vit. build

If he can tank the queen without any special problems - it means that he can (possibly) complete gladiators’ crucible.

Grats, I tried the same build and mad queen crit me to dead in 2 seconds, not sure why

Thanks for your suggestion, I tried it with 2 different gear :

  • Demonslayer’s Jacket + Demonslayer’s Hat
  • Dread Armor of Azragor + Demonslayer’s Hat

Dread Armor of Azragor is better than Demonslayer’s Jacket as alternative chest.

Thanks again :slight_smile:

It’s about timing, and perhaps you should maxed the devotion defensive skills

Here’s with alternative setup :
Mad Queen

with Beronath Physical Warder :
Mad Queen

Some sick facetanking. I am guessing boths builds have decent amount of Life Leech Resitsts? Why not savagery on Warder (since you convert everything to physical anyway)

Also curious where do you take AoE damage on both of your builds. (grim tool for the second build, please).

I am well aware why you chose it.
However, this is just the problem I have with Warborns.
Everything that uses Cadence SHOULD use Warborns for most efficient damage and defense setup. It makes builds and items possible that werent viable at all or with limitations without Warborns, for example:

Usual dual wield

Lame builds

Aethercadence using warborn (Usage of 2handed Temporal Arcblade or Mindwarp)

Elementalcadence

Even actual “pierce” builds benefit too much from it in my opinion since it grants not only a huge boost in DPS but also in defense

I STILL haven’t gotten my Warborn Visor recipe to drop. :cry:

So I am playing Sab and Markovian flavors, almost exclusively, still.

Don’t be mad, but I dropped it on my second character while killing normal level 70 Bloodsworn Adulant in Loghorrean level on Elite. All while being character level 65 :slight_smile:

Oh, I’m not mad at all.

…I got my Badge of Mastery Blue Print off of Balok’Anatu, when I was only barely at level 50… maybe only at the cusp, even - waaaaay back in the day; like, so far back I got a second one to drop just a little bit after that. :stuck_out_tongue:

RNJesus ain’t died for nobody’s toon.

Yes, it is sometimes hard for our luck to facetank rng. Even until now I even has’t complete the trozan set. Also for bloodrager’s set, I got help from GeneralCash for complete the full set.

our gears defines our builds

Asking again, please

The Azragor Vitality Witchblade has 25% Life Leech Resist

The Beronath Physical Warder has Minus 25% (-25% Life Leech Resist)

For AoE,
Vitality Witchblade :

  • Wendigo’s Mark bound to CoF
  • Acid Spray bound to Cadence
  • Damnation’s Feast of Soul
  • Voidsteel gauntlets Witchblaze
  • Boneshatter Treads Shattering Force
  • Relic Solaels Decimation (0.5 second recharge)
  • Blitz - Blindside
  • Cadence itself is Aoe :smiley:
  • Counter Strike

Beronath Physical Warder :

Why not savagery on Warder?
I prefer Cadence for Physical to Savagery

Here are examples of non soldier physical dw builds:

And this one with 5% Life Leech Resist:

Haha, I’ve had a dual-wield Witchblade following almost this exact build for over a year now. He’s been stuck at level 37 for ages but I always liked the idea of it and I’m glad to see it holds up. :slight_smile:

You should make it 85, you can make it physical, elemental, vitality, or chaos builds
it’s really fun builds :slight_smile:

Here’s a physical witchblade with elemental balance and arcane barrier
