Best Weapon / Weapon Style to Build Focus

[Elan Morin Tedronai]

I think original PoE 1 it was just open up with a Blunderbuss; is that still the best way to do it?

Or does grabbing two fast weapons (pistols or wands?) and dual wielding for maximum attacks per second do a better job?

You can dual wield blunderbuss'

 

Does that answer your question?

I'm running a witch with whispers of the endless paths and draining whip, and he builds focus very fast. If I didn't love soul annihilation so much, I could spam cipher powers all day long.

Does Two Weapon Style stack together?

[Nague]

hunting bow is really good with its modal

Focus gained is based on damage dealt.  Guns offer burst (shoot at the start of battle to gain a large amount of focus).  Bows would give you better DPS.

Multiclass contribute a lot to cipher focus generation since they have a lot of skills (such as swift strikes from monk) which help you build focus up a lot faster than before.
