It reaches 48K DPS WITH NO AURAS / BUFFS in a 5L



It features a hybrid defense duelist with high DPS with relatively cheap gear.

The Rainbow part comes from the fact we use all 3 elements almost equally to inflict our damage, we do not focus only on cold or lightning or fire.







DPS with Blood Rage + 3x Charges + Atziri flask, other dps values listed below.



This build achieves high DPS even with no offensive auras.



Quick Breakdown:

* 5.1k HP at 86, taking regen & armor+life in next 2 levels

* 5.6k armor (36% estimate), 17k with flask

* 5.9k evasion (36% estimate), 15k with flask

* 4 endurance charges

* Fortify

* 3.5% life regen atm (4.8% later)

* 40%+ crit chance with 395% crit multi

* 9+ attacks per second

* Scales good even without offensive auras (48k dps without any auras/buffs)

* Uses only rare equipment, which makes it relatively cheap

Gear



Important:

Weapon Elemental Damage makes a BIG role on dps, as such the difference between these two swords:



245 Elemental DPS





365 Elemental DPS with Crit Multi



The dps difference is only 2k dps. So it is a totally viable solution to use 200 elemental dps foils with 20%+ weapon elemental damage weapons.

Jewelry plays a big part in our dps, for example my ring Gloom Gyre gives me 7k dps while buffed.



Order of priority for stats are shown below:



Weapon

For a weapon base you want the following:

T1. Elegant Foil = Fancy Foil = Jewelled Foil = Jagged Foil = Serrated Foil = Spiraled Foil

T2. Whalebone Rapier

T3. Basket Rapier = Estoc = Pecoraro = Dragonbone Rapier = Wyrmbone Rapier

T4. Thorn/Apex/Harpy (we consider these only if they come with Crit Multi rolled as suffix)



* Attack Speed (15%+)

* Crit Chance (Mastercraft can work, 25%+)

* Weapon Elemental Damage (25%+ or no WED and 3x Ele)

* Lightning Damage

* Cold Damage

* Fire Damage

* Crit Multiplier (If you get this, make sure it's 20%+, it boosts all your dps so it's better than some elemental rolls)





jewelry

* High WED (26%+ OR Medium WED + Flat Elemental Damage OR High Flat Elemental Damage)

* Accuracy (200+, 250+ prefered)

* Life (40+)

* Resist

* Crit Chance

* Inteligence

Leveling:

4L: Cleave + Multistrike + Blood Magic + Life Gain on Hit



Try to get the Curse On Hit / CWDT + Warlord mark setup asap also, do not run blood rage until you get the 3% life regen.



Actual Links:





6L: Whatever you feel like adding, Faster Attacks, Life Leech, Added Lightning and LGOH are all equally valid. Even Conc. / Increased Area of Effect if you want.





Movement + Fortify





Our source of leech & Endurance Charge uptime





Blood Rage & Golem, self explanatory.





Enduring cry for fighting bosses & maintaining endurance charges





CWDT+Warlord Mark for bosses mostly, since you can't rely on CoH there.





Put this where you want, it doesn't need to be linked to anything.

Leveling



If you have access to static electricity unique jewel you want to level with the following tree:

link



You will get 1-82 flat lightning damage quick which trivializes leveling.



The tree is pretty straight forward, use the leveling to branch out to ranger & templar/marauder areas, take life & armor/evasion as needed.

I wouldn't spec into crit until level 60 or so.



Grabbing twin terrors + fatal blade will really push your dps and crit, so grab those when you get access to fast swords with crit.



For defense purposes, iron reflex is really close and an easy way to cheese the leveling process with Grace. If you are starting from zero i would advise speccing into IR and using grace until you get gear good enough to run both armor and evasion.



You also do not need to aim for hybrid arm/eva on each slot, it is perfectly fine running pure eva/arm pieces and then combining them like:

Chest - high armor chest

Head - high evasion helm

Boots - high armor boots

Gloves - high evasion gloves



However i do not recommend pure evasion chests as it makes chroming a nightmare.
