Notes

My league starter for 3.26, build that i already played in 3.25, but now it got some nice buffs.

So only thing that was changed is:
- Replica Wings of Entropy received buff, more attack speed with main hand and way more flat crit chance with offhand.
- On old setup with Ashes of the Stars offhand crit was already capped with old values, so build would only get around 10% more dps from more main hand attack speed.
- But, now that axe can get up to 20% flat crit chance on offhand, Marylene's Fallacy can be used and you still will be at 100% crit on offhand.
- With buffed axe Marylene's Fallacy is actually slightly better than Ashes of the Stars, aside of being much cheaper and much more accessible!

!Old low budget setup had around 3.5mil dps, new low budget setup has over 5mil dps!

Tree (IMPORTANT):
- Trees are different before and after you get Replica Wings of Entropy.
- Because Replica Wings of Entropy has unique modifier that make it count as both Two Handed and Dual Wield, so passives for both of those work with this weapon.
- Don't take any Two Handed passives! Change tree once you obtained the axe!
- Ascendancy: 1. Explode on kill. 2-3. Block. 4. War of Attrition.

Build is extremely simple, easy to level.
- You get Double Strike from very beginning.
- You use Splitting Steel with Chance to Bleed until you reach Tribal Fury with mastery for +1 target.
- And from that moment you just use Double Strike.
- Then just follow skills/supports in Skills menu. 
*Some of skills/support will be rewarded from quests, rest just buy from vendors in act 1-4.

Gear during campaign:
- 1H Axes. 
*You can also use 1H Axe with 1H sword and take Dual Wield mastery for 60% increased damage. Early its good.
- Cap resists.
- Change Rage Mastery to +7 Rage once you get Belt of the Deceiver, while you can skip it and keep using Intimidation Rage Mastery.

Gear after campaign:
- Two rare axes with highest phys dps you can find, then Replica Wings of Entropy as soon as possible!
- Rare gear: Life, Resists, some Str/Dex.
- Pure Str armor.
- Belt of Deceiver is good early option.
- Marylene's Fallacy AFTER YOU GET THE AXE!
- IMPORTANT: Jewel with Mana Leech!

How to get Replica Wings of Entropy:
1. Buy, early might be expensive, day 2-3 will probably be dirt cheap.
2. Or farm it yourself:
- Take Heist stuff on Atlas Passive Tree, run Heist Contracts, then Blueprints.
- This axe is fairly common there, but rng is rng, you might get it on first blueprint, or you might not.
- Before running heist, prepare a bit, cap resists, get decent gear, since dying in heist cause you to lose all loot if you died after alarm was triggered.
- Aside of that, you might get some expensive stuff which would allow you to sell it and just buy axe, unless youre doing ssf.
