PoE Duelist, League Starter, Mapping builds

I'd like to introduce a tanky alternative to the traditional TS Deadeye.As with deadeye, you don't want to start TS, this applies to Champion as well. You start off with LA/IS/Galvanic/... or RoA for phys then switch when you think TS won't suck (+2 arrows bare minimum, likely even later). This isn't a full guide, just PoBs with variations of skilltrees/gems, so if you need handholding this isn't the place. The +2 proj on the tree prompted the builds, as I previously enjoyed a phys Impale champion back in... I honestly don't even remember, the character is gone too, so... Disclaimer: Built

It works really well and is not even considering the changes we are getting in 3.21. I played with 2x Ichimonji and cleared T16 maps. Few things to note: \- 10% chance for Impales to last an additional hit is not taken into account into the DPS in PoB. \- You count as Low Life at 55% Life increases the EHP but

I've posted about this setup a couple of times in comments in other build threads and people seemed interested enough that I figured I'd make a quick little guide for this setup, as it's treated me extremely well from league start all the way to clearing the atlas and all bosses. The basic shell is aura scaling for giant armor and replica dreamfeather for big attack damage, while utilizing doryanis prototype to skip enemy resists. I league started this as just a basic 2h trinity attack build, using this tree here: It was able to clear in to red maps on basically

So after a bit of messing around, I might have come up with a phys Flicker Strike Slayer that looks like it's SSF viable for a league start. Parameters: 900k+ boss DPS assuming maximum Rage, Pride effect and totems, but no Berserk or Vaal Haste (goes up to 1.5m burst DPS if so). Not that you'd be doing pinnacles on this, but it's a good indication of single target potential. Clear DPS drops to 533k without totems, Vaal Haste, Berserk, or Intimidate, and setting Pride to minimum effect, but is helped along by Tribal Fury's new mel
