I remade my bladesin and got crazy lucky with Jah drop got lvl 13 Redemption, 394ED, 20 fire absorb.

This is hardcore offline btw

Other gear:
Fleshripper non eth
Phoenix monarch
Enigma
Guillaume's with max dmg jewel
Arach
War travs
Lava Gout
Ravenfrost

I think having leech would be slightly safer, but she kills stuff so fast there's never really a lack of bodies to "redeem". Second ring options would be SoJ or BK.

Also don't know if the Enchant from Lava Gout is necessary with -50% target defense from Fleshy. AR is 5.6k before it procs, 7.5k when it does. She's lvl96 btw

Screenshot of the Jah cause it blew my mind

bk has leech so just go that. Blade sin scales well off + skills

There is some pretty simple upgrades you can get.

Such as a 2sin or 3 trap circlet with 2 sockets (or shako or andariels visage) and put 2x 30+ ED magic jewels or 25+ ED rare jewels in it.

Your max damage jewel is doing little for you and blade skills starve for ED% and more skills.

Then can swap to gore riders

If laying of hands ED% works with blade skills, which I’m not sure if it does, that would be a rather large upgrade over lava knout.


Also keep an eye for any claw with fools mod and skills /bladr fury ideally with 2 sockets.

Alternatively plague claw with 3 blade fury works amazingly well for pvm

Great tips, thanks!

I believe demon ED works on Blade Fury but not sure about the other two.

I do have a socketed Shako but figured Gulli would be superior, will give it a try!

Good to know Plague works well, I wasn't sure if it would. Good base and a cham might take a while though

3 blade fury is what matters most. More base damage helps but isn’t what should be prioritized. Wouldn’t waste time looking for perfect base.


Largely, blade fury is all about getting as much skills as possible while also getting as much ED% (ed% off weapon) as possible while also having high deadly strike.

So with highlords + gore riders, you are at 50% ish DS depending on level and then with plague as an example, you get an extra 35% ish, putting you near cap

Or you can use a weapon with 2x Lo, but on single player, probably harder said than done.

Crushing blow is largely irrelevant except for if you are doing Ubers


As an added bonus, when using a claw, you can take advantage of claw mastery, which is primarily what pushes claws up higher than other weapons.

I see! I'd been stacking the CB thinking it was a biggie. I was able to do ubers with a few tweaks to the setup above, worked quite well!

I wasn't sure Claw Mastery affected blade skills, seem to remember reading on Basin somewhere that it didn't, but if it does, great!

Yeah forgot to mention amulet is Highlord's

Ya there is a chart that shows what claw mastery bonuses affect which blade skills. It’s not always a 1:1 match. But regardless, for you purposes, plague will essentially be impossible to beat

The base damage of a high level bf reaches up to 1200-1400 somewhere if perfect.

This will scale will add to the slighly nerfed wepon damage and from other sourches such as max dmg scs.

Then all off wepon ed will give their bonuses, and when ur skill alone has 1200-1400 base damage that is equialent to the damage of 3 x grief wepons at once.

And then you have claw mastery bonus if using a claw.
Aura bonuses and stat bonuses.

What is great for knife and claws is the 0,75/0,75 str/dex stat bonuses.

In the end you have critic and deadly strike, which directly doubles the damage of end results.

You may add ctc amp on top.

(SkillBaseDamage + (weponDamage*3/4) + MaxMinDamages) * (1+((SkillDamage+Statbonus+Aurabonus+GearEdBonus)/100)) * (1+(DoubleDamageChance/100))

Quite a large damage…

So if you out this in a excel sheet you can easy see how clawmastery and deadly strike works. And the deadly strike is a simple doubling of damage which is inzane on theese numbers.

5ctc amp/fools/2 soc LOLO claw is a great simple wepon. Ofc they can spawn inzane stats, but theese simple stats hits like a truck.

A knife is more for hybridisation, but fleshripper is still a great wepon. Damage is not always all.

Thanks again! When you say base damage isn't the priority for Plague, you mean could potentially go for an exceptional base as long as it's +3 Blade Fury?




When you put it like that yeah, that is pretty crazy

I swapped Gulli for a 38ED socketed Shako, changed Lava Gout to LoH, then put Gores back on and went BK for the extra skill point. I had to check it was on /p8 even in terror zones, clear speed is so good.

Merc is using Reaper's ofc

Yep. As gel said above, you already have high amounts of damage, similar to grief, but like 3x grief.
