[ 2.0 ] Vaal Pact Dual Claw Build Level 92 ( Atziri Viable + BOTW S: 2 EP: 9 )
|
THE DEAD END KING ( Final Form )
 'At the end of the Dead End Path, the Dead End King sits in his Dead End Throne, granting those who visit their own very DEAD.. END. ' My build is A) low barrier to entry ( Just read the review section, don't take my word for it ) B) fun 'click fest' melee playing style with instant life leech. C) Many Uniques work with this build D) Build of the Week Season 2 Episode 9 E) Only small gem 'alteration' to deal with any map mods. F) ' Normal Atziri' Viable ( with no passive tree change ) The beautiful thing about this build is you can start cheap and then slowly upgrade until you have gear like mine. ANNOUNCEMENT : Thought i will start a new one up as i don't have the energy to redo alot of the vids, so basically its a very simple version of it and hopefully give people an idea how to start off. New build forum linked https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1614443 Introduction :
Spoiler
One thing I have noticed from levelling from level 80 to 90 is the lack of dual claw builds ( I met only 2 other low level 80s ). I actually do wonder why there are so few of us even though we look cool as hell as well as being pretty tanky yet fun to play. Before your 'crit' this build please read the review section and watch some of the videos before telling me what 'my build' can't do. It is a High dps Melee build that can survive physical reflect and cheap as chips to start off :) Character latest update Build 'Deathless' (2.0 )
Spoiler
Took me like 10 mins to do the update for 2.0, I haven't really done any theorycraft but should give people an idea of what to do. The only real thing that has changed is the passive tree so generally speaking all the theory crafting on this forum is relevant even if it is for 1.1.5. Level 92 ( Final Level ) PASSIVE TREE UPDATED. Build name : Deathless ( He who will not die ) Focus : on hp Comment :.5.5k hp, 45k+ ( AOE ) https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwYAAAYA7gEJBLMFtQceC2ENjQ5ID6sRlhQgFSAV9hX9Fr8byCSLJpUqCyo4Kk0s6TBxNZI2PTpCOuE8LT8nRfRJUUp9SshLeE3jUEdRTFVLW69d8l-wYeJieWKsZK9nm2egaPJqjGyMbqpvV3BScNV4GXxLfVuDzId2idOKOIwLjDaNv5UulnSbtZ2qogCi2aZ_pzSsR64-r2yw2LGztMW1SLXytz642bl8wJzBoMLswzrGrsgUykrUI9YH2L3dDd1I3ajjhOOf5FHssO1B7w7wH_DV8kXz6vVv_gr-jw==?accountName=ninedeadeyes&characterName=TheDeadEndKing 17/01/2014 : I only managed to push pass the 6k hp recently and I have not updated the rest of the guide.. Generally speaking the only difference is instead of 5.8k hp it should read 6k hp .. I respecced out of mana flow for Retribution since I really did not need the extra mana with 'Righteous Decree' Node to decrease skill cost. I also had to swap out my Vaal Skeleton gem for a lower level one which isn't really relevant since I just use it as a meat shield. I also took an additional accuracy node to reach 55k dps+ AOE with these new bad ass claws I bought today as well as helping me push pass 6k hp :) and I would recommend using that passive point for something else if you are not someone who enjoy chasing stats like me, lol Build Variation 1.3.0
Spoiler
Build name : The Butcher in the Shadows Focus : DPS and attack speed ( super fun play style) Comment : This build is based on my 1.2 version. Very fun to play since you are doing 9.5 aps with 81k+ dps ( AOE ) but due to only having 4.5k hp can easily get one shot. This 1.3 version of it has even more aps and a small boast to life compare to previous. Good build if you want to stop at level 90. http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYAAAYBCQHcA4cEsQW1DkgRlhX2Ff0Wvxm0G60j9iT9JpUqCyo4LOkwcTB8Mgk1kjY9OkI64UX0R35KfUscS3hMYE2STeNRR1HZVUtW-luvXfJgQWHiYnlirGNwZK9lTWegbEZsjG5pb1dwUnDVcmx313gNfyuE2Yd2idOKOIwLjDaNfY2Bjb-PwZVmnaqi2aOKplemf6c0qW6wkrDYsbO0xbVItfK42bl8vTa-ir6nwJzC7MrT1CPV-NYH1orYvd0N3UjdqOOE45_nVOyw7UHyRfPq_MX-Cv6P_5P_3g== Build name : The Claw Master Focus : Balance play Comment : Someone asked for a half way build from the 'Butcher' and 'Deathless'. I actually really like 'Deathless' and it isn't as slow as I first thought it was going to be but if you want a faster play style but with good survivability then I would recommend this. http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYAAAYB3AW1FfYV_Ra_GbQaOCP2JP0mlScvKgsqOCzpMHEwfDWSNj04ljpCPAU8LUX0R35KfUscS3hM_02SUUdR2VVLVvpbr2BBYeJieWKsY3Bkr2VNZ6Bo8myMbWxuaW9XcFJ313gNfEt_K4DhgpuE2Yd2idOKOIwLjDaNfY2Bjb-PwZBVlnSaO52qogCi2aZ_qW6vbLCSsNixs7TFtUi18rcXtz65fL02voq-p8Lsxq7K09Qj1fjWB9aK2L3dDd2o4XPiXuOf51TsOOyw7UHvfPAf8-r8xf4K_5P_3g== About my build 1.3.0

Equipment 1.3.0
Spoiler
I am now using a herald of Ash. I have downgraded my whirling blade with just a culling strike as I feel those extra power charge doesn't do much for the build also we have taken Claw of the Magpie which provide us enough Power charge hence i am not using the power charge on crit gem no more. From my experience you don't need too much accuracy as long as you got 85 to 86% chance to hit, it is enough. I would recommend getting added physical damage on your gear. Regarding to gear stats importance Hp, elemental resist, phyiscal damage, faster attack, crit muti, crit chance Even though the order might change a little depending on what type of variation the two stats that always remain are HP and elemental resist. 17/01/2015 update new claw !! new belt !!

Physical Reflect Swap out physical damage gem or ( if possible) critical damage gem for life leech gem. This should be enough 50% Mana regen You can either use a level 11 clarity ( swap out hatred) or swap resist pot with mana. Elemental Weakness Swap out a blue slot for Elemental resist aura gem. Advantage and Disadvantage of Build
Spoiler
High Survivability : High instant life leech, and support from life/resistance flask means he is very hard to kill. Thanks to Carcass jack and quality melee splash I have an increase AOE of 35% which really helps keep things dying in a distance even though I am a melee character. High Offensive : I crit 3 times every second with Hatred means majority of monsters have a hard time near me since I freeze/chill the crap out of them. Also it doesn't help them that I am doing 45k dps AOE and 8 attacks per second too. Relatively Cheap : Because Claw builds aren't popular majority of items for claw users are relatively inexpensive. It is only expensive if you want to completely min max your build which isn't needed to get to level 90. ( You can probably level up to 90 with a 5 linked carcass jack ) Disadvantage : Life leech for whatever reason suck at PVP and playing style is very simple but I purposely created it so that I can potentially play with just one hand, lol Food for thought
Spoiler
Bunch of stuff that would compliment my build. Abyssus Variation
Spoiler
Please use common sense and not use this until you are level 80+. You only benefit from this if you got loads of crit chance and its not great for levelling. I use it purely for MF so because I can load myself with IIR, IIQ and yet do good damage. Luv using it for dominus runs :) Health: 4.4k hp Dps: 137k dps AOE ( No Power charge) Max Resist -49 Chaos Resist Offence  PVP ( Replace splash with added fire damage )  I have a 'Commentary' video in my VIDEO Section ( Level 73 Map) that discuss more about using Abyssus. (1.1.5) . Just to add that I was wrong about levelling. It can be done but its not worth it. Regards to Auras I just swap clarity for element resist Hardcore League/ Atziri Viable ? (1.3.0 )
Spoiler
Hardcore
Spoiler
Yes but this build has the same disadvantage as many other melee builds in hardcore so you got to play carefully and make sure you have anti bleed, freeze, shock, burn flask on you at all times. Generally most of the tips go for all melee builds for example make sure you over levelled before attempting an area. On the safe side at least 5 or 6 levels. Be aware of the stats of the enemies like poison and bleed. Don't be a hero, take your time and group when you can I will also swap out crit damage gem for physical attack on full life ( you are barely going to get hit with so much evasion ). You can also use a life leech gem instead too for uber life leech Atziri
Spoiler
 Yes my 'Deathless Build is Normal Atziri viable and if you are skill enough you should be able to kill her without dying relatively easily but you will need a bit of practice. My Character can take a good beating from her and to be honest the only reason why I'll need to take another portal is pure carelessness. Boss Guide 1st Boss : Vessel of the Vaal Easy boss, didn't change alter any of my equipment or Flasks. Just watch out for the laser beam and you should be fine 2nd Boss : Trio Boss Changed my flasks to these.. Loads of anti bleed. Kill the girl first, its easy enough just keep running around the area until you see her shoot her projectile at you and then you go in for the kill, when you see her activate her rain attack you move out and repeat process. Once you take the girl out, then take the whirlwind boss and leave the fire boss last. Use the fire resist flask for the last one. In the Video I have used all 5 anti bleed hp flask. It works but anti fire for the last one is better Boss 3 : Queen Atziri I used Linked to hatred, purity of element and reduce mana If you are quick what I usually do is swap out melee splash with fire damage gem near the end of the healing phase to do more damage . you be be quick or be dead, lol General tactic is every time you see her do the flameblast no matter how big or small you move out of the way and then go back in with your claws.When she does any uber attack ( lightening blast thing ) don't attack and just avoid. Her other attacks are weak and won't hurt my build much. No change to the passive tree is needed I would use 3 hp anti bleed flask and 1 fire and 1 lightening flask.

I made 92 level yesterday with this build, playing with this from around 2 months as my main character and still enjoying it :) Today i wanted to try atztiri and made it with only one death by mistake from my side(didnt dodge vaal smash and he one shoted me ;p)also this was my first attempt on atztiri ever so i was pretty nervous but it gone quite well and easy. My life is 4,3k, dps 66k, caped resists, 28% chance to evade and 46% spell dodge thanks to atzitiri step boots.

Spoiler
I didn't start Treasure hunting until level 85 and was able to farm Dominus merciless with 263% iir and iiq 103% with 4 Lightening Flasks very quick. Best tactic to do is use whirling blade right to Dominus and not purposely kill anything on the way. Before I had my 6 link I use to exchange my melee splash for increase melee damage against Dominus but with 6 link you don't need to swap around any gems to beat Dominus without trouble. I also have a level 20 IIR+ and IIQ+ gem too In MF mode It was much more important in clearing areas quick and with high MF rather than not dying hence I only MF at the very start of each level and when I level up I will not. I use a lightening, cold and elemental resist aura for MF. UPDATE : I also use a Vaal Summon Skeleton for extra protection against bosses UPDATE: For group play swap the 'Faster attack' gem for a Culling strike gem MF for High End Content ( Map level 74+ )

Spoiler
In theory all you need is a pair of 200 pdps claws ( 6 or 7 chaos each) and any crap 5 link ( 2gcp ) to reach end game content and do low level maps but if you want to progress and do higher level maps keep reading. I have spent around 60 to 70 ex on my character but I feel there is little need to really min max the character since there isn't too much difference between a 250dps claw and a 300dps claw but one cost 1.5 ex whilst the other cost 18ex. You can probably get away with only spending 5 to 10 ex for end game After much testing with Bringer of Rain, Tabula Rasa, 5 linked Carcass Jack and Lightening Coil easily the best one is Bringer of Rain. I am only slighly weaker with the Bringer of Rain than my 6 linked Carcass Jack Here is a price list of what you should be paying Bringer of Rain ( preferred choice) 1 ex ( corrupted 15 chaos ) or Tabula Rasa 2 ex or 5 linked Carcass Jack / Lightening Coil* 3 ex 2x 250dps Claw 4 ex 2x good rings 2 ex 1x good amulet 1 ex I would also recommend getting a couple of Quality 20 gems if you are finding it hard to acquire though the game for 1 ex a gem. Due to being acrobatics evasion and life leech I feel that getting a 6 link is much more important than Carcass Jack but in all fairness I did use a 5 linked Carcass Jack until I hit level 85 and it wasn't too bad. I have also heard alot of good things regarding Lightening coil which can reduce damage up to 75% with full lightening resist. Also I've had feedback from moonlightthief that Abyssus compliment lightening coil really well :). Armour Review by MoonLight Thief ( basically tried them all in game)
Spoiler
When I started using this build I bought a Tabula Rasa for 2 ex, it makes an insane difference once you have the gems. What I did was Dual Strike / Melee Splash / Added Fire / Faster Attacks / Multistrike / Melee Physical in Tabula. Insane amount of damage at low levels.
If you are just starting and can't afford a Tabula, I would use a 4link with Dual Strike / Melee Splash / Multistrike / Faster Attacks or feel free to try the combinations but I like my attacks fast. Then at 60 I put on an Abyssus (can buy it for 10c) and got to 25K DPS, easily farm Docks and 66 maps till level 70 but you need to be aware of the +physical damage you get from Abyssus. Your choice if you want to play it safe. Next step is to buy an armor. Could be anything basically. You do not need Carcass Jack and it is VERY hard to get the right colours on it for this build (3 red off + 2green /+blue on 6link). The only thing it does (which I admit is quite cool (literally) is it has a larger range of AOE for your Melee Splash (and with Hatred you can freeze a lot of monsters as Ninedeadeyes does). If you want to go that way I have a 5Link 6slot RRRGB+B Carcass Jack for sale for 3exa, which is the cheapest 5Link in Ambush and it has the right colours for a 5Link version of the build. Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/856481 Otherwise feel free to use any armor, preferably Evasion based. Or if you want some more DPS, do it like I did and go for Abyssus. I also tried Bringer of Rain, but the DPS was lower than with Abyssus and Lightning Coil, so if you want more DPS, read on. When you have enough to buy a 5link Lightning Coil (take out melee phyisical gem), stack up on Lightning Resist and get Vaal Pact and 20+ Life Leech, you will only die in the following cases: - You get 1shot (I took more life nodes than the original build and have every item give me 70-90 life except for Abyssus) - You get some DOT like chaos, fire, bleeding etc. and you can't negate it or don't have pots. - Desynch Otherwise I am easily doing level 74 maps by myself on Ambush, no boss or Rouge Exile has been a problem so far (not even full Physical damage ones). I Will keep you posted, I'm going for the crit nodes now and will try to get a 6Link Lightning Coil so I can put either Melee Physical back or a Power Charge on Crit. Oh and I, too, switched Whirling Blades to Flicker Strike + Power Charge on Crit + Increased Crit Strikes. Hope this helps. If you have any questions about the build on Ambush, PM me. With Moon Light Thief feedback I feel a 6 linked lightening coil with Abyssus it will actually be a more powerful version of my build and I speculate ( Everything the else the same as my build) you probably be able to farm level 74 maps with MF Gear quite easily with it whilst at the moment my build can only realistically farm level 71 or if played very carefully level 72 maps with MF Gear ( 263% IIR 106% IIQ ) UPDATE : i've interviewed a player using lightening coil and Abyssus and even though he said it was ok, carcass is probably better because you had to invest in so much elemental resist. If you want extra protection I will use Grace aura and maybe a elemental resist aura too instead of Hatred and purity. I do think it is achievable to get to level 90 with these cheap alternative gear it will be a slog.. Generally I would recommend to stop at Level 80 to 85 If your goal is to hit above level 85 + or even 90+ I would advise in investing in a 6 link carcass Jack ( 28 ex to 40 ex ) if you feel that you are having trouble. Levelling Guide (1.3.0)
Spoiler
Instead of following this guide point by point I would rather people use it as a source of inspiration hence deviate away !! I have levelled a new character to point 40 for this guide to make sure early progression was viable and yes it is definitely fine. From point 1 to 40 the sections are pretty big but one must have a strong foundation to build a castle :P Point 1 to 20
Spoiler
http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYAFr8mlTY9Udlh4mKsbIxtbJ2qotmmf6c0sJKw2LGztUjAnOOE7UH_kw== I would advise in not dual wielding so early on and use Fire Trap and Reave with a shield. This will give you good protection and good damage. ( Tried and tested and it is awesome ) From Act 1 normal quest I would pick up ' Reave, Fire Trap, Whirling blade, Clarity and Increase Critical damage With Mana leech and Clarity running ( cap at level 2) you should not have any issue with Mana. ( I would start a new Shadow just to pick up Dual Strike from 1st quest so you have both Reave and Dual Strike ). I will then stick the Dual Strike in a weapon slot to level up. Single Target : Double Strike AOE: Fire Trap and Reave Escape : Whirling Blade TIP : Skeletons and Zombies also make good meat Shield but def something we are not going to invest in. For Chamber of Sin quest pick 'desecrate gem ' TIP : What I would advise is to level up the dual strike gem in your Alternative weapon slot. If you find other gems that might be useful later on I would advise to do the same with them. TIP : I would also try to focus on Evasion Armour since we will be going for Acrobatic TIP : Regarding resistance is to carry two of each ring so when you are facing areas of high elemental you change rings. This is what I had at point 20 and generally I was pretty strong but definitely not as strong when I spec into dual claw at point 22. ( messed up hence old links doesn't work but generally you don't need to buy anything at this point or have any good gear. Maybe find yourself a good shield for defence but for offence I had the worst claw ever and it still carried me though ) Point 20 to 40

Once you get ' Melee splash gem' from Sharp and Cruel (normal) Quest you can now spec into dual wielding. I spec into duel claws at level 21 ( point 24) and yeah its pretty awesome killing everything pretty quick. Some unique items you should be looking out for are Wurm's Belt Slitherpinch Briskwrap Wanderlust Goldrim I've heard some of the low level unique claws are very good for levelling Last Resort Al Dhih Mortem Morsu Even though I would not advise to get all but 1 or 2 of these items are very good levelling this Character You should be able to buy all these for either 1 Alc or 1 Chaos each. Go to http://poe.xyz.is/ to find needed item Tip : Recommendation from 'IDEECEE': You might need to get additional Mana Leech . I recommend Wurm's Belt (level 8) or Slitherpinch ( level 28 ) My character ended up having both by point 40 to sustain my Mana. Tip : You will need to start doing some low value orb crafting at this point ( trans, Alt, Aug, chroms, jews) whilst use higher value currency like Scouring, Chaos, Regal to buy low level uniques and gems. Tip: Temporal Chain or Enfeeble curse tend to work well with the build Tip : Try to get a 4 linked Melee Splash, Multi Strike, Increase Melee Damage and Dual Strike Even though I wasn't able too when I reached point 40, it is definitely your next goal if you play pass point 40. Manage to buy this 4 linked Helmet ( look above) at level 35 ( point 41) Sometimes it is easier to buy your 4 linked with the right colours than to craft it because you have so little currency. Character at point 40. Overview : Have no trouble killing anything. Just remember to switch rings to max resist and to link your whirling blade with a faster attack (asap) for quick movement and escape. I managed to sustain my mana at 8% mana leech but to be honest 4 to 6% mana leech is enough if you are using mana flask.. I also had a level 5 clarity running too. Conclusion Anyway that's about it, I really can't be bothered levelling this character above level 34 ( point 40 ) because I was just doing it to make sure this levelling guide work and yes it works very well, so good luck and if you have any questions let me know :) It was an enjoyable experience where I played the game as it should have been without skipping any areas or help from past characters items or group play. Point 40 to 60

Items to look out for are 2 x Bloodseeker ( Not necessary but helps ) and 1 x Tabula Rasa or 5 linked Carcass Jack. Generally a good pair of Rare Claws should be good enough. I shall also suggest at this stage to take a look at my current build and collect gems that you might need to level up. You can also get 200 pdps claws for 6 chaos and a cheap 5 link for a 2gcp in standard league if bloodseeker and Tabula Rasa is too expensive at this point. I would also suggest maybe using a skeleton Totem instead of a blind totem until you get a little stronger, Skeleton Totem makes good meat shield when progressing to end game. Point 60 to 80 Point 80 to 100
Spoiler
At this point you might want to look at what 'variation of build' ( in latest update section 1.30 ) you want to go invest in. You should be focus on getting Vaal pact and start to think about getting a pair of 250+dps claws. If you got a bloodseeker you can try a non-vaal pact version and spend the 7 passive points somewhere else. You should also start looking for end game gear . Majority of gear should have at least 50 hp health and resist should be capped. You can alter your passive tree too, to suit your mana/hp needs Points 100+
Spoiler
Basically my build (Passive tree above) The easiest way to level up to 91 is to just use the fee entry system rather using your own maps. I actually find it very frustrating keeping my map pool and prefer to MF 300 alts convert to 1 ex then convert to 30 chaos and then use the Chaos for fee entry to high level maps. VIDEOS

At the moment I am level 68 with the build with small differences. I haven't taken Vaal pact and the life leech nodes yet, not sure if I have to later either. I wanted to try the build with Abyssus, so I did. I am also not using Power Charges yet, I don't have any crit nodes taken, only flat damage and +% Physical damage ones. When you look at my DPS note that I have only 1 claw that has good DPS, the other is really low for this level.
It works really great, I had 25K DPS at level 60 with Tabula Rasa and Abyssus, but of course I could only do Docks and other low danger areas without dying to the +44% physical damage the mobs do to me because of Abyssus. Then I tried Abyssus + 5L Carcass Jack. Still had 12K DPS (lost a lot because of the fact that I could only find RRRGB CJ and could not link faster attacks in. I used Power Charge on Crit which was fine. I don't really care about the area effect on Carcass Jack and it's really hard to get the 3 Red slots on it, so I gave up on it pretty quick. Might go back to it later though. Then I was wondering how I could negate the incoming extra physical damage and immediately bought a Lightning Coil, 5linked it and it works like a charm. I have around 16K DPS, mobs have a hard time doing damage to me with capped lightning resistance and all the eva / block / dodge nodes this build uses. Can't wait to see what my damage is going to be when I take all the crit nodes and the life leech etc. I'll keep you posted. Thanks a lot for the guide, when I have my final version I'll link it, too. Cheers. When you have enough to buy a 5link Lightning Coil (take out melee phyisical gem), stack up on Lightning Resist and get Vaal Pact and 20+ Life Leech, you will only die in the following cases: - You get 1shot (I took more life nodes than the original build and have every item give me 70-90 life except for Abyssus) - You get some DOT like chaos, fire, bleeding etc. and you can't negate it or don't have pots. - Desynch Part two ( Level 79 )

DTigerSKZ Level 43

This build seems to scale it's damage really well. Level 43 with some crappy claws that I found and doing 2.7k DPS(3.5k with Hatred) Freakynorm level 89

I hit 89 last night. It really sucks that the high levels are such a fucking grindfest. So I'm going to try and farm dominus for a bit in between leveling up a ST shadow to eventually try and farm atziri with that character.
This build is definitely doable on a low budget. I'd say you can get up to 65 with average gear. If you want to easily get through to 80 you can spend 5ex and get some decent gear to make it doable. Definitely a fun to play, easy to understand and cheap build to enjoy the game with. Última edição por ninedeadeyes em 12 de mar de 2016 07:59:13 Último bump em 19 de jul de 2016 14:31:06

Why use Tabula Rasa?
Think you could do a leveling guide for every 20 points or so? Última edição por Radagastt em 21 de mar de 2014 19:57:09

6 link .. more links more damage more life leech less likely to die. Also the fact the build is acrobatic base, even though evasion is important it is not your main defence.

I dropped off the map after two level 80+ dual claw characters because I don't like going past 85ish. Too annoying to grind. Also, as I mostly solo maps in SC when I'm in SC, and more of the time I play HC/races, it's no wonder you don't see me.
Build thread is in signature, it's non crit base. I feel that 33% crit is not really reliable. Normally if I can't reach 50~, I will scrap the idea and just add damage nodes instead. Anyway enough about me. Agree that the increased AoE is super important. Maybe for high aps build, the low crit rate averages out better. Wouldn't know, maybe test it another day. Maybe post build for level 70? Rather than 90. Also post bandit rewards? Recommend you to find high base crit claws actually. In my experience that's the best way to increase DPS further. Also, alternative to VP is Bloodseeker claw. 200~ dps only, but relatively cheap and more leech than VP. I'd ask how you sustain mana, but I already know the answer. It gets really annoying with 7L in Rain, lol. Think you should use url tags but I don't know what the problem with the image tags is. So I used the url tags again as a work around.

Thanks for the feedback, it is much appreciated.
I understand I only have 1 level 90 and 1 level 70 Character whilst the rest are below 50. Generally grinding from 85 to 90 wasn't as painful as I first thought because there was always the fear of death at high level maps ( 77 to 78 ) as well as it gave me time to save up to buy my expensive gear. the 33% crit isn't too bad. I only died once whilst leveling from 88 to 90 and it wasn't because of reflect but of a bad ass Exile on a level 78 map and unfortunately I got desynched as I was clicking at a portal, lol I think because I am roughly criting 2 times per second (8 aps with multi strike) you really feel its effect rather criting every once in a while. I was originally non-crit but I found it hard getting my dps pass 20k hence why I went for a crit build. Also resolute technique was so far away I thought I might as well make use of the advantages of the shadow. Another advantage I found was if I do get damage a lot its always a nice health buff from the life leech on crit. and your next few points.. Yeah I'm working on the build page. I like doing it in chunks because if you take too long, the forum page times out.. Should be completed by the end of this weekend :) to be honest its not that easy to try find high Crit chance claws that does good damage but if I do see some like 250dps claws but with good multiplier and crit chance I'll def go for them :) and thanks for the tip regarding url tags !!!

Dual claws are nice.In the sstarting area though i don't quite understand your passive choise.You can take 10% one handed damage,4% movment speed and coordination and remove 10 dexterity+20 intelligence.All in all you gain 10% physical damage,4%movement speed,3% attacks speed,10 dexterity and you just lose 20 intelligence.
Another thing i d strongly advise is the use of power charges.It is free crit chance.YOu can even optimise it and get 2 more power charges for 2 points(the one in the shadow,and the bandit quest).If you have 20/20 flicker+20/20 power charge on crit+20/20 inreased critical strikes,you will gain power charges extremelly easily,and without sacrifising a gem slot on your chest.y 2 cents |

I was using two auras hence needed an alot of mana but now that I am only using one I might just respec it .. Thanks for the input :)
Quick update : I need the intelligence for my Vaal Skeleton hence why I can't respec it to that. I can in theory get it from somewhere else but I don't really want to sacrifice strength stats for more dex and attack speed because I feel the build has more than enough. I am quite happy with the general build without adding power charge . To get to level 90 you need a mix of survivability and offense.. I choice to use endurance charges and Immortal call because I felt it was weaker on its survivability rather turn it into power charge build Última edição por ninedeadeyes em 22 de mar de 2014 10:44:21

" Yeah man,you dont have to take power charges from the tree at all,you just have to link power charge on crit on your flicker strike :P(free 150% crit chance). |
