I don't think that there is a way to increase the speed of the attack..Blade Fury doesn't relay on increased attack speed nor on faster cast rate so I would imagine he was regarding the natural speed of the attack, then again I could be wrong here... :scratch:
It is my initial animation of BF that is unusually fast. For some reasonm without IAS (I use fade) it's cast faster than it should be. Can't explain it really it's a must see to beleive kinda thing... Dunno but we tested it and I was the one withe lower IAS yet the faster animation.
 
Well I'll give you that Ritslev it certainly is unual. In that case there has to be something that determines the intial animation speed...perhaps a hidden stat something other then IAS or FCR that hasn't made itself apparent until now? Then again I could just be talking gibberish.
 
Finally!!!!

Well I finally traded for the helm today. And yes I over payed....a lot....but on purpose though. I had such a hard time finding someone who had it that I wanted to make sure I got it. And well I'm sure you guys know the good old saying. As long as your happy with what you got and you didn't need what you traded you got what you wanted. Now that I have the helm my new Blade Fury sin is underway. Even though I'm going to follow the build exactly the same why I did last time I believe that my killing power would be much stronger do to now have cresent moon and the jah I needed for StormLash. I know I am going to have some trouble locating some small lightning damage charms but besides that shes ready to go.

Hi all,
I just want to share mu 'expirience' with my 30 clvl BF sin :)
I will mention only the part of equipment that I am currently using, but I think with that equipment I will be able to reach clvl 68 in /players 8. Why 68? Because I will be ready to arm Fleshripper (this is the best weapon that I have for the moment).
So about equipment - I am using Hsarus full set and Cleglaw's sword and gloves.
Main bonuses from Hsarus are : +5 def per clvl and 10AR per clvl
The bonuses from Cleglaw's Tooth - 50% Deadly Strike 30% Bonus to Attack rating + (1.25 Per Character Level) +1-123 To Maximum Damage (Based On Character Level)
The bonuses from Cleglaw's Pincers - Slows Target by 25% Knockback + (10 Per character Level) 10-990 Attack Rating (Based On Character Level) (2 Items)
I think this is a good combination fo low (middle) levels.
What do you think?

I just noticed this very colorful post, and wanted to clarify - you are using Hsaru's shield rather than Cleglaw's? If so, BAAD mistake IMNSHO. The Cleg set synergy is far greater than the Hsaru set synergy for this yummy build. I've carried the full Cleg set past lvl 35 on more than one occasion - until you use/find a truly sweet weapon for the mid-game, the best CB you can get from blood gloves (10%) won't balance out with the 35% from Cleg's.

Oh, and as 'one of the worst items in the game', the shields drop like flies in early game runs.

You are right - I just check the sinergys. The Cleglaw's synergys are better and AR comming from Hsaru's boots will stay. I will try this :)
BTW - My sin just kill Baal in normah and go trough nightmare very well.

heres my guy

res - 26,56,72,26
equipment:
Armor - Duress Scarab Husk

Max Venom and Death Sentry and near max Fade and Shadow Master

I think my guy should be pretty good but it scared me with nm Baal, I didnt lay down any traps i just venomed then faded, shadow mastered and blade fury. I dont think i had to much trouble hitting him.

Do u have any comment on my technique or equipment?

PS: my guy is pretty indestructible though, He has near max block because I had no trouble with my life so i put the rest in Dex.... Bad move?

thank you for a great guide

Hello.. .I just ran through your gear.. And it looks good. I do have a few suggestions.

1 - Focus on DR and Resistance.. especially Resistance.
2 - Look around for a new weapon. While Gimmershred is a great weapon and yo'ull like it a lot early on, later on you'll find yourself lacking group killing ability... and that is where Static is needed,
3 - Gear seems just right... you may want to check out String of ears.. the Stealth has slow, but it's not that much in hell and anyways you ahve plenty of cold damage which also slows some.. don't know how much but it's not much ...
4 - I don't know what your vitality is.. I have 1.1 k life in Hell with gear, and I find that I can kill Souls hell 8 player games and live to tell the tale. That is thus enough life in my book. I have personally also started to pump dex, but of course I'm also lvl 90 so it's not going fast at all. It's a matter of preferance really. I prefer being able to take the hits, and occationally dodge one or two, rather than rely on dodging to stay alive... since you could run into those situations where the chance to dodge just doesn't favor you.

Keep in mind that I'm HCL only, and I'm certain that there is more 'tolerance' for character death in lower SC levels. Likewise getting equipment can be much dicier, hence my continued use of Cleg's - the gloves are the only itam of the 3 that isn't (considered) worthless & plentiful.

I've got at least 2 bladesins rigged with full Cleg set and Hsaru boot/belt setup. Leaves helm, armor, and jewelry free - now if I had an Angelic ammy I'd be tricked out...

Incidentally, I notice from the last couple of posts that people continue to use venom, which I was staying away from this time. However, I wasn't sure if it was going to be worth stacking more points into fade, or going back on the venom track. Opinions? Various bladesin levels (developing & mules included) are 37, 32, 15, and 12.

thnx for the comments ill change the coil for the string for the DR and ill take the others into consideration.

thank you so much again! :winner:
 
Well first off, great guide :) Got my furysin to 83 now and she is great fun to play. I went for a more defensive build, only 10 in fade, using SS and a metalgrid to make up the DR and resists. Using tgods belt rather than a string too since I don't need the DR. I also went for an act1 rogue merc just for something different (all my other chars use act2 mercs), and she is a big help especially in getting that first corpse to drop for DS.

Anyway, couple of questions:
Since I saved 10 points from fade, is there another skill that it's worth putting these extra points in? I have 9 - 10 or so saved right now just sitting there (I have all the standard skills maxed, only 1 in BF etc).

My damage is a little low I feel, max is about ~1800 using regular stormlash with venom + enchant. How on earth did you get that up to 3k? :p Just load up on light dmg charms? I only have 1 or 2 of them atm, and no facets, so maybe that is the problem I guess. Just seems a big difference to make up with only charms.

Thanks and once again, great guide :D

Well you could go different routes .. all depending on what you fell like so I'll list all those I've done :

1 : Pump Fire Blast for more Death Sentry Shots - I liked this one cause I only had to place 1 Death Sentry, but got tired of it cause the damage wasn't enough and cause as fast as I could place all 5 traps it wasn't of any use to me.
2 : Pump Blade Fury - You need Damage and at level 20 it does give additional 90 damage. People can say all they want that this isn't a lot, but still it doesn't suffer a 3/4 penalty so that is an option that at least should be considered if nothing else
3 : Try getting Blade Shield - For the coolness effect. Not that great in effect but i'ts a last defence and it looks great. BUT A NOTE ON THIS! If you're using Blade Shield with an Etheral weapon, to my knowledge -durability- WILL go down. I could be wrong but I never did want to test it with my Cryptic Eth Sword.
4 : Mind Blast - max it and go the Convert route. I tried this and had a blast, but it was only fun in single player games, people in multi player games (groups) hated it cause it made us have to wait around to kill stuff)
5 : This one is my current project. With merely 15 skills, is it possible to make a good kicker... I've been testing with +skill claws, and so far I*ve not been too disappointed. I find that I lack speed, due to using fade rather than BoS and fr this reason may drop the idea.. but it'd be nice if others tested this idea.
6 :Go Dual claw and pump Weapon Block - Well since i started this build Block was always a problem, so I tested the Dual weapon idea. With only 3 points in this skill I had more block then I did with my Tiamat. On this I'm still debating. I loose Tiamats +200 effective damage and 35% resistance, but gain an actual chance to block. The Claw I was using as an add on was Jade Talon obviously due to the Resistance... since none of the mods transfer to Blade Fury I looked at seconddary mods...

Well this is what I've tested, so if any of these catch your interest.. let me know and I*ll elaborate a little.

Without Charms but with Venom and Enchant and Gear : 556 - 1995
Naked without any gear at all.. with Venom and Enchant and Charms : 494 - 1517
With Charms and Gear as well as Venom and Enchant : 663 - 3144

My stash if filled with 1-39+ small charms and 1-80+ medium charms of pure lightning. It's quite a lot of damage it delivers especially with the -10% enemy resistance (I upgraded my Facets) on to hit. I still have room for my Cube so I'm quite pleased with that part of the setup.

What is your AR like with that setup? I'm at about 6700 AR with enchant so wondering if I should give up some of my +ar charms for more damage..

Added some charms tonight which gave me about another +100 dmg, and if I switch to tiamats/string I get just over 2k which isn't too bad I think. Not sure if I want to lose the 20% DR and 25% block though..

I guess I'll try to pick up some more charms and a light facet or two and see where that gets me.

As for skills, think I will go for the fire blast route at this stage, but I'm saving them for a bit until I'm sure. The other thing I was thinking about was spending 4 points to get dragon flight, since I'm lazy and like teleporting places ;)

Anyway, thanks for your comments, I think it's a sign of a good build that there are so many options for it. :)

My AR isn't that important.. Level 90.. Using Lash with Jah for Ignore Target Defence.. vs Bosses I have I believe 2.6 k and that is plenty for some reason.
I take down Bosses just as fast as I do normal monsters (close .. Baal is a bit tough but the other bosses go down fast)... Baal I am pushed back constantly by his Cold attack.. I found out that if I stand against a wall or something I keep my animation up and I'm not interubted... I take damage yes, but with the DR/resistance and LL I manage quite nicely ... Baal is the only one that takes me a little time.. (1 minute or so)

I never went for the SS idea, simply cause it lacks resistance and resistance is more important to me than DR as a 'caster' type character.

Dragon Flight is a good idea, I've not tried/considered it but I kinda like that idea...
Thank you for the compliment.. Versatility is why I like this build and why I stick with it..

The Ultimate...

Well I've been looking now and looking and looking some more on Europe Realm and damn one thing I can't seem to find is :

Etheral Stormlash (high%)

Anyone know what the max daamge is on an Eth 300% version of Stormlash.. ... one can always dream
 
Quick question:

Level 61 Furysin (NL Europe)
Weapon: Hexfire
Shield: Tiamat's Rebuke
Helmet: Natalya's Visage
Amulet: Magekiller's Amulet (+1 Assassin skills)
Armor: Rattlecage, socketed with a Light Facet
Boots: Goblin Toe
Belt: String of Ears
Gloves: Mavina's Icy Clutch
Ring: Cathan's Seal
Ring: Manald Heal

Any suggestions as to the equipment?

My skills are:

(Pre-requisites)
20 Venom
20 Shadow Master
1 Blade Fury
12 Death Sentry
 
Ok this is at least a start.

Well ok I've gotten myself a 241% etheral lash. Damage 409... not a bad upgrade from my 317 damage .. that is +75 damage.. closing in on the 3500 magical barrier. Close to 3300 (617-3345 hehe to be precise) now. I'll post exact numbers later.

Thanks David_Perkins I know those Lightning Skillers will be put to good use.

So now I'm working to getting that all godly - 29x%..

Man this isn't half bad.

Hehe Can't wait to use it.
