Playstyle
You jump into the mob using leapslam which applies Fortify buff and attack to clear them. Release your clones (Vaal Double Strike) when facing high life/dangerous monsters to clear them safely.
Ancestral Warchief can be used to gain more damage or clear mobs from distance. Make sure you use attack in place-Either hold shift or use the Num-Lock trick.

Gems Setup
CHEST
Color's required:
1. 4 Red 2 Green
2. 4 Red 1 Green 1 Blue
3. 5 Red 1 Green
Vaal Double Strike + Maim + Melee Phys Damage Support [These 3 should always be in setup]
+ Ancestral Call + Melee Splash [For mapping]
Although you can clear upto T15 boss's easy with the above 5 links but for pure single target switch the above 2 gems with
+ Multistrike + Chance to Bleed (or even Weapon Elemental Damage Support)
6th link can be either
Increased Critical Strike support or Culling Strike or Chance to bleed (when used as 6th link then use Ruthless as switch gem for single target or Ruthless
GLOVES
Blood Magic + Leap Slam + Faster attacks support + Fortify
BOOTS
CWDT + Immortal call + Increased duration + Enfeeble(can use Ice Golem or Blood rage instead of curse)
HELME
Ancestral Warchief + Maim + Melee Phys + Conc
AURA'S
- Hatred--Always on
- HOI--- For mapping
- HOA--- For single target
Arctic Armour can also be used for extra phys defense
You can generally run 2 Aura's but can go 3 Aura's with a lvl3 enlighten support.
About Adrenaline (First to Strike, Last to Fall)
You can proc Adrenaline using either
- Righteous Fire (slow but use's only 1 gem slot)
- Using a 3 link setup:- Blood Magic + Blasphemy + Any curse
Either scenario, Activate/Deactivate to get 20sec Adrenaline boost, you can use life flask to recover your health back faster.
Gear
Important Stats you need on your gear
- You need at-least 12-20+ dexterity on your gear.
- Upwards of 70+ intelligence on gear.
- #% of Phys Attack leeched as Mana (You can take a mana leech node on the tree until you can get this mod on your gear).
Weapon
Main Hand needs to be a One handed Sword with high PDPS
Offhand preferably a scepter(can use an Axe or Sword too) with gain phys as extra elemental damage. (This is a Shaper mod)
Armours
Any rare 5-6 link with Armour & life. A shaped +1/crit chance chest with those stats would be BIS.
Unique chest you can use is Belly of the Beast or Loreweave.
Gloves & Boots
Any you want to to balance out your resistances/stats
Also best to stack some dexterity & Intelligence on these two to use some of our gems and gear.
Belts
You can use Perseverance, since we have almost permanent fortify we get permanent onslaught with this belt too. The rest of the stats ain't bad either. But you can use a rare Rustic Stash or Stygian Vise to give boost to your resis & health too.
Rings
Preferably Diamond for increased critical chance with whatever stats you require for balancing your needs.
Amulet
We use a Carnage heart for extra stats, some resistances, leech and damage. Any rare with the stats you require can be used too.
Jewels
Mods to Look For
- Increased Phys Damage
- Critical Strike Multiplier
- Attack Speed
- Health
If you have the currency I would recommend a watcher's eye with increased crit chance. This gives us a pseudo 7 link DS similar to adding increased crit chance gem. But it's quite expensive atm.
Flasks
- A life Flask, Quicksilver & Diamond with Bleed/Freeze remove mods.
- Lion's Roar Give's Huge Damage boost but knock-back can be annoying.
- Sin's Rebirth is not really required but boost's both damage & defense. A cheaper alternative would be Atziri's Promise.
- The new Soul Catcher Flask is great for our vaal clone's.
Leveling
LEVELING SUMMARY
Leveling should be pretty easy considering that we get to use all our 4 main damage gems before lvl 20.
We started with straight up double strike. Later added melee splash, then Maim & finally Melee Phys. This 4 links would get you up to lvl 50.
Make sure you level up the rest of your ancestral call gems. You can also switch between Maim & Ancestral call for extra AOE.
SKILL TREE PROGRESSION
With Skill Tree we follow the 3 patterns.
1. Upto lvl 30 we head left towards Marauder section: Lvl 30 Tree
2. Upto Lvl 60 we head a little down towards our own Duelist tree & then move right towards Ranger section: Lvl 60 Tree
3. After 60 we fill in the rest of the missing nodes & jewels(4 nodes) as we level up.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE DURING LEVELING
1. We will have insufficient Intelligence or Dexterity while leveling either for some gems or gear. So stack them on your gear. If you still need more Intelligence, grab the "Wisdom of Glade" node along right side of our tree path.
2. Mana Leech is required to keep our attacks. Best to grab a mana leech node along the minor dexterity node's on our skill tree path. This is the only way unless you get this mod on your gear somewhere.
