Power Point Setup:
Left mouse: (20) Triple Strike
A: (20) Sliding Strike (nice stun and good for 2 quick combo points if you don't have any built up)
S: (20) Rebounding Club
D: (1) Devil's Due
F: (20) Street Sweeper
G: (1) Born Again
E: (1) Enter The Void
Right mouse: (1) Spinning Hook Kick
(20) Devil of Hell's Kitchen
(8) Relentless Justice
(20) Radar Sense.

General Playstyle:
- The main focus of this build is verify the effectiveness of adopting a that uses no basic attacks.
- Use Devil's Due as often as possible, while AoEing street sweeper and single-targeting with TS.

Gear:
Artifacts: ACCoC, Adv. Meta, Adv. Kung fu Training Sequence. With your 4th artifact you can use a pym's (this isn't a spirit heavy build so it isn't ideal), Adv. Starstone, or a Superheroic Yukio's (this is what I use).

Relics: Lemuria is my favorite. Subterranea is good too.

Legendary:
Exacalibur or Gugnir. I recently made the switch from Gugnir to Excalibur and I am not regretting it. Gugnir is a slight dps increase (only about 2% and another 3% with the proc) while Excalibur has defense and life on hit.

Blessings:
I use 4 Hela blessings. Fandral is also a good option if you feel like you need more crit/dodge.

Enchants:
2 Stone (100 phys. damage) , 3 Cattle (600 health)

Uru and Runeword:
I use a physical damage uru with Bonebreaker.

Costume Core:
A 25% Health and Spirit Back on Medkit Core is an absolute necessity imo. Ideally with +1 fighting as well.

Medallion:
Since my preferred play style is to move with sliding strike (no point in Action Roll) using an Electra medallion to generate spirit and health works very well.

Costume Affixes:
These depend on how much health you have. I have 19k without costume affixes so I opt for all crit damage rating on my costume. If you don't have a ring or insignia that gives you health like I do, I would go with health on your costume.

Fiendsly:
A basicless build is a very strong option, Triple Strike does really good dps. The only thing Nunchuck has over TS is how much quicker it generates combo points, but with that said that build looks good. My old build was very similar except I didn't have street sweeper, and I chose to max Devil's Due instead, but this was before street sweeper was buffed.

The only thing I would suggest for your build is that if you are set on using street sweeper, consider leaving sliding strike as a 1 point wonder and maxing out a basic attack instead for faster combo points. Triple Strike, although great for single target, generates combo points slowly, and also roots you in place for a split second, which can leave you vulnerable against large aoe packs.

As for overcoming spirit issues, it is pretty easy with the right gear choices. I used Gibborim relics for the extra spirit, a pym's shrinking, and a 25% spirit/health on medkit core. Lunar Eclipse also has some nice spirit return on it if you have the runes for it.

I was at ~480 spirit, and between pym's and the 25/25 core I never ran out of spirit. The only times I ever got low were on Doop X-def waves when I was spending a lot of spirit rolling around and there was nothing attacking me so medkit and pym's couldn't be relied on, but that is pretty much a none-issue now with the changes to X-Def.

I like to have 1 point in EtV for emergencies, being stunned for a second to long could end up being fatal on fights like Doom so it is worth a 1 point investment to me.
