Yes! They are really annoying! Won't go down fast because of quadrizillion points of endurance, cast Insect Plague on sight, and hit my backline with Stag's Horn all the time. I hate them!

Right - but then you don't take the full attack abilities like Crippling Strike and so on into account. If you pile up a lot of those I think sabres are still better.

Dual Wielding annihilating (=crit damage = double damage) weapons with high base damage (like Resolution & Purgatory), high crit chance and full attacks are really strong in terms of damage. I don't think there's anything that comes close on a rogue. You won't have things like prone on crit and so on. edit: if you don't want to use full attacks a lot I would recommend Hours of St. Rumbalt instead. It's annihilating AND causes prone on crit. It's also nice to summon Firebrand (absurd base damage, annihilating) when you meet enemies with low deflection but tons of endurance (aka Ogres).

Dual Wielding Sabres on a rogue will give you the highest dps. That's because of increased speed, high base damage and full attacks (=two fast hits with the sabre). Rogues can have a lot of full attacks per encounter. But you will have to put some points into defenses because you have to go into close melee fight and will get hit. Bows and pikes are safer. You can't do damage when you're down. It depends on your party composition. If you have a paladin for example who can cast Reinforcing Exhortation and stuff on your rogue then I would go for sabres. Resolution and Purgatory is one of the best setups for a crit build.

Awesome - this will so get nerfed. But until that it maybe would make sense to roll a rogue or barb with Novice's Suffering.

Critical grazes, tehehe.

I just imagine that MIG score with a barb & greater frenzy. Why not Outlander's Frenzy? I mean Hulk is really angry most of the time. And your Sanguine Plate is gone...

I really hate Antipathetic Field. Why does everybody else love it? Every time I use this on an enemy said enemy runs somewhere where the beam is not hitting anything.

Also not bad - but since barbs and monks already have very high endurance and health they benefit the most. I mean when you look at the flat numbers. Would be another story if CON gave a flat +X bonus to endurance instead of *1.X.

Maybe it's an item from a stronghold quest?

How about Unlabored Blade & Drawn in Spring?

I meant pre 3.0 patch of course... btw no edit function here? I guess you have too few posts. If you get more you can edit - I think...?

I hope so! Wait, will do a quick test... edit: sure do!

It is

Cool, so with two Whispers on Yenwood and that ring you can have +8 CON. I always wanted to do some weird max CON-build with a monk or a barb. Boreal Dwarf(+1), Rauatai(+1), that Ring (+4), 2*Whispers of Yenwood(+4), Effigy's Resentment: Durance (yes! +1), Rymrgand's Boon(+1) will result in "passive" 30 CON. That's +100% Endurance and Health all the time - whoohoo! Lots of wounds to collect until that monk goes down... You can boost that further with food, abilites or spells, resting and prostitutes of course.

That doesn't seem to be right. I would file a bug report.

It really looks weird, that's true.

No, it will not. But still a great weapon.

+4 PER is a new mantle - I think west tower of the battery.

Durgan refinement is ver powerful: more speed, more hit-to-crit, higher crit damage. Hard to compete with that. A fully enchanted, durgan refined Hours of St. Rumbalt is just awesome. And eveybody can use that.

I'll try my best. Currently testing a crit-barb with dual Vent Pick. Once PoE 2 gets announced we'll have to get you a beta account. 'Trap' you into the game right away and secure those good builds (and good company) from the start =P. That would be fun - as long as there's pizza.

Of course. But since all three of those concentration debuffing effects are like auras that try to apply the effect over an over again it's not so bad. Pumpin PER to the max is very powerful for interrupts - and you also get more ACC. I just don't like to build around something that you will have to apply over and over again manually or that are per rest. Those things come as bonus.

What do you mean? Retaliation has nothing to do with your weapon. It's alsways the same base 6-10 base melee pierce damage autohit (no grazes, misses or crits). You don't retaliate with your weapon. So any one handed weapon will work. Drawn in Spring is very nice - but it comes quite late and only does slash damage. Bittercut does slash or corrode - so I almost never have to switch to another weapon set if I meet foes that are very resistant or immune to slash damage. I don't want to switch because then I wouldn't have the Supper Plate.

I also realized this after your post. I think this is a new description because I never saw that before. Or maybe I did't hover over that numbers for a looong time.
