What are some strong 2-handed melee auto-attackers?

[RektbyProtoss]

New Leviathan DK is certainly better than old Lev WB. Also AoE is certainly better as a DK cuz of Bone Harvest and FG Devotions (Azrakaa, buffed Oleron) have helped the build’s AoE a bit aswell. Also together with SR set Lev DK has 50% phys res without any procs (WB would have even more). I think it’s definitely better than before, but still only “good” or “half-decent” and not anything amazing.

The main problem is a huge spread between “good” hits and “bad” hits that is caused by huge damage spread on the weapon and the fact that Cadence only hits every third time. So you can basically roll a crit on a Cadence hit and roll higher damage roll and at the same time you can roll non-crit hit with a low damage roll so your Cadence impact is minimal.

Agreed, it’s one of the most inconsistent weapons in the game, add fumble to that and your dps can go from a million to 0 back to a million and back to 0 again within 3 secs.

The grimtools link that I think is supposed to go to an Ultos character leads to a Mage Hunter AAR character.

All my Bleeding Builds use Savagery or Blade Arc with 2-Handers (except Trickster). Choose, which ones you consider “strong”.

My personal favourites:

• Bleeding Ritualist
• Bleeding Druid
• Bleeding Warlord

Edit:
Forgot @Shoot2033 infamous Bleeding Warder. Sorry for that.

Here it is.

Btw does Savagery/RoS Trickster count as an autoattacker? It’s still probably faster than pierce BM.

[mad_lee]

it’s definitely slower than any pierce bm unless it’s a super green spec. Also, op was asking about 2-handed melee builds, 2-handed melee Trickster is a bit of a meme.

Wait, why? If such a potato that is me can clear with this in 6.20 i’m sure someone can break 6.00:

I saw builds go heavier in bleed with Rancor, they are probably faster. I was just testing pierce on it.

[mad_lee]

Oh, first time seeing this kind of build, lol. A bleed/pierce hybrid. Some solid results too.

But, if you go full Bleed on it it with the same gear it would be faster. I kind of doubt this kind of trickster with 2750 DA is consistent tho. But maybe I am wrong. What it is its success rate?

[banana_peel]

When i push for speed i die often because i can’t react to things due to my low fps. But if you just farm its pretty consistent. There is basically no threat when you move around. You can facetank any group of bosses except Grava, Ana and double Alex. Massacre + Shadows + capped AS on FH gives a lot of leech.

Effective DA is much higher. You have -420 OA reliably and -70 from the seal.

If you want to try full Bleed, that might fit: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/gZwL79kN

Edit:
Augments have to be changed and I don´t think an Arcane Spark is really necessary.
