Dual-dreams are something I've been meaning to try for a while now, so I did it. It's no secret by now that it's an extremely potent combo, and when combined with Enchant can be just utterly devastating. Arien wanted to do something a little bit different though, and it complicated things.
She wanted to throw.
Some of you may be asking what the problem is with that. Well, the reason that dual-dream echantresses are so damn powerful is because Fire and Lightning Masteries get applies TWICE to melee attacks. Once at the time of *casting* (so when you cast Enchant, or just to the HS aura), and then they get applied again at the time of *striking*. Sadly, the case is not so with ranged attacks, as they do not get the secondary bonus from the *striking* part of the formula. MongoJerry explains it perfectly in his 1.10 Enchatress Guide, and I will link the relevant part in the spoiler below.
This is obviously for Enchant, but the same applies to Lightning Mastery and the Holy Shock Aura from 'Dream'. Another wrinkle is that elemental damage from items does not get scaled by masteries for ranged attacks. Lame.
That didn't stop Arien though, what's a little bit (well, a big bit actually) of damage lost compared to the ultimate style of whipping knives around? Nothing, that's what I say!
Let's first get to the stats/info and a full dump (with the fat trimmed), and then I'll get to some thoughts on the build.
Stats:
Name: Arien
Class: Sorceress
Experience: 927514682
Level: 83
Naked/Gear
Strength: 86/109
Dexterity: 142/142
Vitality: 242/252
Energy: 35/45
HP: 930 (1646 after BO)
Mana: 362 (613 after BO)
Resists:
Fire: 82
Cold: 13
Lightning: 75
Poison: 13
LCS Throw Damage (with Enchant): 7.5-43k (in-game damage would actually be substantially lower, around 2-8k if my math isn't horrific)
AR (with Enchant): 2.8k (plenty with Conviction active)
She hit the 50%ias breakpoint, giving her 11fpa. I felt this was plenty fast enough but wouldn't want to go any slower.
Skills:
20 Enchant, Warmth FM
20 Lightning Mastery
Teleport, Static, Energy Shield
rest in TK (ES buff)
Equipment:
Helm: 'Dream' Tiara
Armour: 'Chains of Honor' Dusk Shroud
Weapon: Warshrike (30IAS, Pierce, replenishing, ctc Nova - synergized by LM)
Shield: 'Dream' Troll Nest
Gloves: Magefist
Belt: Trang-Oul's Girth (CBF, life)
Boots: Infernostride (for the FR/max FR really, but could have been substituted to basically anything else)
Amulet: Highlord's
Rings: SoJ/BKWB
Switch: CtA/Lidless
Charms: 8x Burning GC with various mods, the rest are life/res SCs
Merc
A2 Defensive (Holy Freeze)
Helm: Delerium
Armour: CoH
Weapon: Eth Infinity GT
2.7-4.3k dmg with Enchant active.
Pretty straightforward. Infinity for damage and immunity breaking. Delerium/HF for crowd control. CoH for beefiness.

The Journey
I don't remember much from Normal/Nightmare really. I just threw some standard (melee) twinking gear and a leaf staff on her and rushed her through without much thought. She reached Slayer at 43, and finished NM at 72. Leveled her up to 75 to equip Warshrikes (her final gear piece), overhauled her gear, and went for Hell.
Hell was doable on /p8, but we were going through knives way too quickly so I opted to put it down to /p3. I also kept a couple extra sets of Warshrikes in the cube so that I didn't have to go back to town every time I ran low.
She met basically no resistance at all in Act 1, working her way through and offing Andariel with ease. Act 2 gave us some fun in the Maggot Lair and Arcane Sanctuary (yes I just said that). It was fun getting big lines of monsters stuck behind the merc and then letting the pierce on the Warshrikes rip right through them. Duriel soon bit it, and Arien was off to the jungles. Man those flayers are quick! It was a bit tricky nailing them with knives, but luckily the pulse damage from HS was enough to take them out in short order anyways.
Mephisto soon died and that marked a general shift in her play. Act 4 had monsters become much stronger, and also FI and LI monsters started to show up more. It only really became a problem though when we met up with an unbreakable FI/LI Hephasto.
Luckily the merc is more than capable on his own, so we let him deal with Hephasto while Arien picked off the stragglers. HF was Lem, btw.
We encountered another FI/LI in the CS, but the merc handled if just fine and soon we had made pin cushions out of seal bosses one, two, and three before heading off and meeting Diablo. He killed the merc but Arien was able to prevail on her own.
Act 5, though slightly more dangerous, also flew by in what felt like moments. We had to watch out for some of the stronger enemies like these gentlemen, but before she knew it Arien had killed Shenk, saved Anya, and used Warshrikes piercing attack to take out Nihlathak while he was occupied with the merc.
The ancients were a joke on /p3. Madawc was the first to fall, followed shortly by Korlic and then Talic. The trip through the WSK was equally uneventful, as were the waves. Even an FI/PI Lister and company didn't slow her down much.
You may have guessed it, but the Baal fight was also both quick and painless. Static him to half and then plink away while the merc tanked. Easy enough, she reached Matriarch at level 83:
Some Thoughts
- If you want to take FULL advantage of dual-dreams, this is not the build for you. You're sacrificing a TON of damage by going ranged. That said, she shredded Hell with no problems at /p3, so it is still a strong build for a playthrough.
- Her low life was *mostly* no problem. I had to watch how for physical-based ranged attackers like archers, but that's it really.
- She had a couple deaths, primarily from me teleporting recklessly. Once she has established a fighting position, she was extremely safe.
- This was a surprisingly fun build to play. It's great fun teleporting around and then filling bad guys with knives. It's also super satisfying lining monsters up and ripping Warshrikes through the whole lineup.
- Enchant was very helpful, both for damage (due to not getting the full benefits of the melee bonus), but also for AR. Infinity of course helped with that too.
- I definitely recommend this build if you want something a little different, even if it's not as powerful as it *could* be. If you can get passed leaving all that damage on the table, it's a very fun and effective character to play.
I tried to get screenshots that showed the action well, but they just didn't translate well. Here's a sloppily-played, poorly-planned, mistake-laden video instead!
