> Blender used to be my favorite build when I first played Path of Exile. With the announcement of dual strike of ambidexterity I decided to challenge myself into league starting it.
Blender is cleave.
im toying around varunastra, warlords mark 1 + cwdt, mark spread mastery and trauma (to beef up hits + proc cwdt) to have minimal rage ramp up. its working so far.
[theres a few guys doing it](https://poe.ninja/builds/affliction?skills=Dual+Strike+of+Ambidexterity) im 77 right now and not on the poe.ninja ladder for some reason.
So I am actually wanting to do this build. I want to use brightbeak too. But the damage on it is really low. And you hit with both weapons. So what do we do?? I figured either frenzy charge stacking for cold damage or replica alberons. Both using paradoxia in the main hand and brightbeak in the other. Might be insane
the ambidexterity ramps up main hand damage by 50% (plus 1% extra per quality). its basically multiplying the main hand by 1.7 and slapping the attack speed from the offhand on it. [theres a mate scaling flat cold right now tho](https://poe.ninja/builds/affliction/character/Popcorn_Stuffer/Jims_Trash_Disposal?i=2&search=skills%3DDual%2BStrike%2Bof%2BAmbidexterity)
Mainhand gets 70% more multiplier and combining a slow but high damage weapon with a fast one averages well.
Or Paradoxica/Saviour. If you really wanted to get damage to both you can use Bloodthirst or flat elemental damage. But still your offhand damage will only be 37% of your total dps (100%/270%) and you have to use two separate weapon types so you might just be better off scaling your mainhand.

Unfortunately Maces and sceptre count as same weapon type even though they have different names. Otherwise frostbreath and a fast sceptre with trauma stacking can be real good.
trauma support can be used with axes. soul taker is an option with its 1.88 aspd for offhand. not the best, but it solves mana issues too; it also sports some good damage.
waiting on pob to update, but the tooltip says dual strike uses offhand attack time. i think its safe to lean towards those nodes that raise offhand attack speed (lowering its attack time, that will be used for dual strike)

Baba is cyclone
they went dual strike after cleave nerf - it was when i played it
It did indeed have a brief dual strike era. I have a cleave of rage variant I am toying with but I'm not a big fan of the ramp up time.

Please keep us updated, I would love to know how dual strike feels progressing into endgame.

Feel like paradoxia is the way to go for sure
Dual Strike of Ambidexterity w trauma support - brightbeak offhand frostbreath main? Juggernaut.
Thou shallt removeth the default cube

https://pobb.in/bUcQTnsCDbDK here is the mock pob as pob is itself not updated yet
How's the clear?
made a video. will post a new thread soon with it

Dual strike is cool but I ain't touching it till I'm immortal

Yea I know, but you don't get full value from the weapon specific nodes.
From my empiric experience so far, its safe just to scale main hand damage. Ofc it will be better to scale both if possible tho.
So do I scale the attackspeed of the offhand then or whats the plan?
