The Strongest Melee Item in Path of Exile is Shockingly Cheap!
Sometimes power isn't just in the numbers, sometimes you can increase your clearspeed and bossing while lowering tooltip dps. I stream weekly at: https://www.twitch.tv/tenkiei My PoE Profile is: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Tenkiei/characters My previous Bladestorm build (this is the char you see in the footage): https://youtu.be/kkFz12Ckojc Keep in mind, I'm basing the prices in this video off of Harvest League, from week 3-10 it was quite cheap dropping to 1 ex and then falling as low as 50c, but who knows what the future will hold. It could easily stay this cheap or it could jump up next league. But even at 50 ex the item is worth every chaos spent because of the mechanical advantages offered on top of the great dps boost. I cannot overstate the value of being able to deal damage and step away from the boss without losing all of your damage. This effect of going from 100% dps to 0% dps when you step away is a large part of why people think melee feels bad to play or why your 20m PoB dps might feel worse than a 2m dps cold DoT build that has way higher effective uptime and is less buff reliant. 0:00 - Introduction 1:53 - Mechanical Details 5:05 - Wrapup
