Does it merge into something? Because so far it only says primary and secondary class.

I'm pretty sure by Saboteur, he means that's the nickname of the combo people gave those two classes together.

[Skyhaster]

Yes, look Tab I in your inventory. :D

It's not a nickname given by people, it's like Skyhaster already said above. Each combination of two classes has a different name. It's visible from your inventory and when you hover your mouse over someone's hp bar in multiplayer.

Saboteur is a powerful dual wield build due to the speed buff from vindictive flame, the physical and piercing buffs from temper, and the powerful fire strike attack replacer granted by demolitionist paired with the dual wield skills and utility abilities of the nightblade. Focus on piercing damage and get your pneumatic burst powered up and you'll be a killing machine.

The downside is you'll have fairly low health so you have to play smart. You'll be a bursty, high maneuverability assassin rather than a tanky melee juggernaut.

does the firestrike proc the shears and other "default attack" passives?
Edit: I also leveled vein of shadows to 10 instantly. Im fairly tanky I think.

[Halcyon]

Yes, fire strike procs the other weapon pool skills like shears, whirling death, etc

Ring of Steel is good for helping your survivability if you max out the modifier skill for it. It can cause enemy attacks to Fumble (chance for attacks to miss entirely) which really saves you from damage later, and there is no resistance to fumble so it works even in late game. Stack that with the Impaired Aim and Fumble from the Flashbangs modifier along with the chance to avoid attacks from the Pneumatic Burst modifier and you can cheese your way through crowds of enemies.

The downside to this class is the low physique and health, so make sure to spend most your attribute points on physique so you can wear beefier armor and have more hp.

[Jet Uppercut]

Dual Wield Fire Strike is pretty strong, since you can still use Searing Strike with one-handed melee weapons. 25% crit and a 15% total damage boost to your normal attacks on top of the fire strike and passive bonus damage and your Dual Wield passive attacks, it's a lot of DPS. Early on it's a little bit weak but once you max out Fire Strike and get Searing Strike you'll be laying down some big numbers. Pneumatic Burst will help a lot with early survivability too, getting it to around level 5 and picking up Breath of Belgothian will keep your HP full for most of Veteran.

Normally I'd be like yeah go for it.. But he's only 20 hours in on the game. Should definitely savor the vanilla first so ya get a good standing on what's what.

Consider that you have burst heal from nightblade and a lot of CC options from demolitionist, I don't think that you are doomed or anything.

I played DW melee saboteur in hardcore vet and found that it can progress pretty fast without much problem (although, stupidly died against reflect mage during the last act)
