Build performs like even better in 1.0.6.1… more defense, plus the changes to crucible/the buffs make this character a fast and reliable 170 farmer.
This build looks great. I’m leveling it right now in the early stages. Do you have any recommendations for a no MI version just for farming HC campaign nemesis/bosses?
I’ve been following this guide as a new player but at level 50+ I’m wondering what to do about Shard of Beronath. It will probably be some time till I get it so would using Mistborn instead of Deathchill be a good choice? Or should I just use ABB as my main attack? Or maybe even just having ABB separate and using default attack? Not sure of the best option really to keep my damage up.
Edit: Nevermind for me as the blueprint dropped so I’m feeling pretty lucky. It may be a good question in general for newer players?
Honestly it comes down to player preference, both are good options.

Adding to main post
Thanks for the no mi version. I expected to see the silver sentinel shoulders but I always overlook the vendor gear. That extra OA is always nice 
TBH i didnt even think about silver… they definitely are stronger by a good margin. I went for the vendor item bc of easy access and they perfectly pluged a hole in resist created by removing the greens. you cant quite cap bleed resist though, unless you want to be a bit under cap on lighting w/o seal buff.
I’m surprised the OA is pretty much the same between the two. I would have imagined the vendor shoulders bringing a bit more OA but I’m also somewhat new to anything not a pet build. Still the overall idea of tackling some of the nemesis in HC campaign concerns me just because of the damage to my vindicator with 18k health, but again I’ve mostly played pet builds and I’m not used to what a build using high adcth is capable of.
updated the original build a bit… figured it was needed since everyone’s favorite sword pair received some buffs.

Uploading a video of new build changes, will add new gt and video to OP. Clear time should be around the 7:30 - 8 min mark under good circumstances. First time playing the build in awhile.

Added more attack speed for more clear time. Other set up can be used for more life leech/armor, but as you can see from the video safety isnt too much of an issue. Tbh the extra defense just isn’t needed after the crucible nerfs. Will update stat screenshots at some point.
https://plays.tv/video/5c2cb83d0bf0b42a5b/-1-0-7-1-blades-luminari-update-elemental-dw-infiltrator-150-170 - 8:30… i forgot to cast blade spirits until 163 so no murmur til then, also the 2 worst mutators for a melee autoattacker during 150-160 hurt clear speed a lot.
One of the first if not the first non-shield melee builds to tackle old AoM Crucible, legend! Although with new Nex/Ortus focus on SS it’s a bit outdated now judging by clear times (although it might be around 7 minutes and you just got unlucky/played bad).
Yeah i imagine clear time can be much improved from that run, but only had time to do one before work. I’ll try to do x3 or x4 run after work Tonight. Then I’ll upload the full video.
In regards to the sword, the change actually increased the damage… Although i lost +2 Lethal assault and +2 inquistor seal. But the flat rr and the acid conversion more than makes up for it.
