[1.0.1.1] DW Physical Blademaster - Wiro Sablenk

#include <wiro.h>
int main() {
~ Dual Wielding Physical Blademaster ~

With New Beronath, Reforged, all masteries paired with Soldier can be nice Physical Melee Builds.

Here’s a Warder, Commando, and this one Witchblade with very nice elemental conversion.
Commando and Battlemage also good for Beronath Physical builds, both have elemental for conversion and supports Physical Damage.

Even non Soldier builds are still viable for physical melee builds:
Trickster, Saboteur, Conjurer, Pyromancer, Spellbreaker, Witch Hunter, Elementalist, Sorcerer, or perhaps a Druid could be interesting unique Physical Builds.

This build is Blademaster version with Cold conversion from Nightblade :

You could press ‘S’ to see mastery and devotion tab on grimtools

Devotion Route (Cadence Version) :
You have to go near Sahdina at Devil’s Crossing. Prepare some Iron Bits and Aether Crystals.

  • Crossroads Order (Yellow)
  • Assassin’s Blade --> Bound To Oleron’s Might
  • Dryad --> Bound To Blitz
  • Hammer
  • Harpy
  • Empty Throne
  • Rhowan’s Scepter

  • Spider (Half)

Attributes :
Physique - 60
Cunning - 15
Spirit - 15

Alternative :
We can use Empowered Essence of Beronath as alternative amulet.
It has more AS and Damage Reflected, but lower OA and Crit Damage.

Ring of the Black Matriarch is also a good ring. It has physical RR and +2 to Cadence.
I didn’t use it on my Cadence setup gear, it’s a bit difficult for capping resistance on my current gear if I use it.

Direwolf Crest also a nice medal, it has flat OA

BoM with +3 Cadence or Rare +5 Cadence is also a very nice one. It has %OA too

Alternative Grimtools :
There’s only a little change on skills distribution, I take 1 point from Phantsmal Armor to maxed the Field Command. Phantasmal Armor in first setup is for capping the Pierce Resistance :

~Reserved for later~

grim calc has no skills , no devotion , no atribute points spent.

please fix it , I want to try this build.

I do not see the point of using Beronath here over Reaver’s Claw. The only converting you’re doing is Emp. Essence (sometimes) and Execution? Hardly seems worth it to me.

EDIT: This is how I would do it.

This is exactly how i built my blademaster, exept for boots and left hand because i leaned more torward bleeding and pierce damage than pure physical. Nice job tho!

I was currently levelling a very similar blademaster, except focused on cold damage ( converted to physical ) and using the Leviathan constellation.

I have updated the first post.
You can press ‘S’ on grimtools page to see Masteries and Devotion bar

Nice idea, I never try that path before, perhaps you can show me the grimtools

My Blademaster is focus on physical damage with additional cold conversion from nightblade.
Unfortunately I don’t have any good MI’s, if I have +5 Cadence BoM and can use Ring of the Black Matriarch, I can save points and allocate it to another Nightblade elemental skills, like ABB - Lethal Assault, Elemental Awakening, or may be to Shadow Strike trees.
My current setup is trying to match my current gear. It could be different if I have good MI’s

Your setup is using Reaver’s Claw and Unknown Soldier, it has armor piercing, if you want to use pierce damage, you should allocate skill points to Night’s Chill for Pierce RR.

Btw, your devotion constellation include Wolverine, it reminds me that it has 4% DA. Thanks for this :smiley:

Thanks :slight_smile:

You can use Reaver’s Claw like kidpid’s suggestion.
It’s suitable for pierce damage, or good roll Dermapteran Slicer could be nice weapon too.
Also it would be nice to maxed Night’s Chill for Pierce RR

Attributes :
Physique - 60
Cunning - 15
Spirit - 15

why would you have

15 cunning
15 spirit , you need like 6 points in there. or maybe even less

isn’t just better to go most of them in Physique and the minimum amount you really need in spirit like 5-6 points?

It’s okay if you want less spirit. You can pump it into Physique or Cunning.
I just don’t like if I have hard times when equipping rings or other spirit requirement gear.
Also I don’t like if my mana bar is too short, and energy potions cooldown is too long

Sorry for the late reply. Here are a couple versions I came up with. It still needs to be fleshed out but you get the idea.

i should give this build a try :smiley:

Thanks for the grimtools :slight_smile:
Yes, I got the idea.
I have modified it and test it.

Build has been updated.
New grimtools and videos available

Thanks again :wink:

Sure, I have updated the post.
New version and video available.

Currently there are 3 versions.
You can check it on first post :slight_smile:

Nice to see the full build in action. I actually like the modifications you made a lot.

My English is very bad.
I liked this build in the group The Crucible. Solo started the game on the last difficulty - dying from a weak mob, which gave a debuff bleeding or something. Freaked out and deleted the character :slight_smile:

Thanks to you for giving the nice idea :slight_smile:

:smiley:

How did you get your devotions to work if you didnt take any of the starter nodes?
