Melee tank is going to be a lot easier to do as a new player/on a new league(not sure if you mean right now or when new league starts). Look into Juggernaut builds, especially molten strike shit, simple to build, tanky as fuck, high damage, just not very good map clearing. Not complete garbage but not one click man.
Golemancer builds rely too much on the fucking jewels, which you'll have to trade for because there's virtually no way to get them yourself unless you play another char to 90+ first, and the jewels being rare and the build being fairly strong, they're also expensive as fuck early on in the league. They drop pretty quick but that makes golemancer a pretty poor build to start a new league with. On current league it'd probably be good though cause cheap as fuck at this point. You just kinda google golemancer and you'll see the builds, there's mostly 2 main variations, Elementalist witch or Necromancer witch. Elementalist is generally better for pure golemancer, while necro is better to mix other summons in, like spectres.

Ancestral Call and butt ton of attack speed(jugg molten strike usually doesn't go crit) make map clearing quite nice actually. You have to get use to moving while your balls are still dropping, trusting that your salvo will finish off the pack. The changes they made in 3.3(projectile speed is proportional to the amount of balls on the screen) has made this much better.
Honestly, it's one of the few builds in this game that doesn't have a noticeable weakness. High sustain, high defense, high dps, and high on-demand mobility.

I died in Act 5 HC Delve with my Spectral Throw character the other day, so I started up this Molten Strike build that was linked earlier in the thread.
Act 6 now. Holy shit, does this thing ever melt. I can just facetank bosses even through all their beamattacks and skills that normally 1 shot weaker chars.
I'm in Standard Delve now, do you guys have a guild in that one?

Not having to maintain stacks is one perk, but if I'm not mistaken, isn't reave mainhand only? Cleave lets you utilize dps of both weapons. Dual Ahns might is pretty sweet if you take advantage of both frenzy charge bonuses.

Goddamn that’s a hell of a post. I’m almost willing to blow you like Lithose now. No homo.

Reave is swords, claws, daggers, no handedness restrictions. I would say mainhand only is a straight benefit in the current game. Utilizing both weapons is only a benefit if there's a local mod you really want included on the attack. Nothing in Ahn's Might fits that situation. The -1 max frenzy charges is global.
I experimented with a couple reave builds and everyone recommends having a stat stick instead of a second weapon for exactly this reason.

I didn’t mind the story per se. I think POE’s story is delivered a bit haphazardly too.
I will say that D3 just plays well if you accept it for what it is. BFA, aside even WoW post-TBC has always played well. Blizzard’s game feel has by and large been top shelf always. I have one buddy that is still extremely skeptical of PoE just because he thinks it won’t “feel” like Diablo 3.
Best analogy was us going from WoW to GW2. GW2 feels great (when I played) but it’s just missing that extra dash of smoothness I’ve only seen blizzard find. D3 and PoE are about the same.
That detracts nothing from the fact that rest of PoE’s game systems stand shoulders above d3. Inherently, it makes PoE a better game.

Cleave: When Dual Wielding, Deals 60% Damage from each Weapon combined - So 120% damage.
Reave: Using Reave while dual wielding will alternate the weapon used for attacking
Also, cleave has a 168% multiplier vs reaves 138%.
As far as Ahn's Might - If you dual wield and use pacifism jewle, you're both at 0 and max frenzy charges getting both bonuses, so you get 1000 accuracy and 100 crit multiplier.

d3's story is fucking retarded, and actively gets in the way of the gameplay.
Poe's story is mostly atmospheric, and doesn't get in the way of the gameplay at all. much of it, can actively be ignored.

This is misleading, it will alternate the weapon if the weapon can be used by Reave. But if the other weapon is a mace or an axe, Reave will only use one weapon.

How do I join this forum guild? DogSolitude in game?
Just dicking around for right now playing with zombies and shit trying to get comfortable with things for league reset, not even following a build. Up to act 3 so far but it's taken ages. What's the best way to quicker level progression, just slam story as much as you can? I feel like the current story stuff I'm doing is super easy, but it just takes forever to run everywhere and click all the things it feels like.

True, but it will only apply the damage from one weapon each swing, unless using a stat stick. Cleave will always use both weapons at 60% each for 120% per attack.
