Is Vitality actually a necessary aura? It seems like that is the least needed, I am running blood rage without it and it doesn't take a single point of my hp.

Don't see why I would add vitality to that then, anyone sees something I'm missing?

Oh vitality was only needed if you guys only managed to get 0% chaos resists. Did you manage to get positive chaos resists already nagarashi?

Sitting at +39% chaos resist atm.



Got ^ today for a fair price. Didn't even need the chaos res, was just a nice bonus.

It is a little bit sad that I just crafted this dagger and that it's better than my previous one:



The only slight problem I see happening atm is the lack of accuracy. Sitting at 69-70% is a tad low.

Second thing, do you level Warlord's Mark? I'm in doubt, I don't like higher mana costs but the radius is so goddamn small it annoys me.


edit: sorry for the double post :P

Just bought and I'm having a blast. Found a 16% quality flicker strike gem on my last map run too, once I level that up I think things are going to be going very well indeed.

Should I level Anger? The mana isnt % and the same all the time so its gonna cost more and more to use it. Should I still level it?

I'm pretty new in the game, and i was looking at build that might be interesting, and the i found the CI crit dagger shadow and i started to follow it, without knowing that CI was nerfed, so i there is only one question that i have in mind that i couldn't answer in the forums

Should i continue with this build or should i switch to this new one (that i found 3 hours ago xD), cause a friend says that CI is now useless and the other build is not more viable, and crap, i'm testing this game in default and trying to get the catch of it with this build but i don't know if should i keep aiming for CI or EB

To be honest, if you want to catch the game in default by playing shadow you should have tried one of the caster shadow builds (EK or Spork) but if you want to choose between CI and EB, they're both still very much viable.

A few pages back Invalesco posted a link to a video where he showed CI was still good to go, even after the nerf.

I was checking Invalesco buils, and before going through and investigate both and i will surely undesrtand 50% of what each says (cause of me, cause is a very explained build), are this build the same? I know they are both based in CI, but i was wondering, are this the same? If they aren't, wich one is the best for a CI-first time play (i noticed one says PVP and i'm not pretty much attracted to that option yet)

The former is from closed beta, the latter from open beta. They are practically the same.

I have some questions.
1. What is expected crit chance for this build? Are you using 80% crit chance dagger?
2. Why is LS with LMP and not fork or chain (only because of Pierce)?
3. How do you fill the mana you use for LS when you got no mana leech, and no clarity? Flasks?
4. Your Blood Rage calculations are not correct, if you have 4.6% regen even with leveled blood rage you will not be able to have 5% regen left (which is more then your base lol).

Little update, been running docks on mercy + the occasional map with little to no trouble. This is with a mediocre (well actually blatantly bad) dagger and without good links on certain parts of me gear.
Having max resists, 39% chaos resist, about 3K life and 2k armor (3k at lvl69). Using Wrath, Anger, Hatred and Haste (missing 1 reduced mana gem and a socket on my boots to use Determination).

My dps is somewhat low but that will increase when I get my sockets and links correct. Having aprox 3.2k flicker strike damage, 2.4k double strike and 2.2k LS.

Current links are: LS-Pierce-WED-LMP (lacking a green socket for faster attacks but will take care of that soon)
Double Strike-Faster Attacks-Item Rarity (changing this in 1 lvl)
Flicker Strike-increased crit damage (also changes next lvl)
Reduced Mana - Hatred - Haste

Gear:



Helm will become



once I hit lvl 69.

I have no critical mana issues as long as I have flasks and refill them with warlord's mark and crits. Having about 100-200 mana left after aura's (depends if I run 3 or 4).
Using Blood Rage without Vitality aura and still regenerating a good amount with it being turned on.

Passive Tree: Passive skill tree build

I left out some HP nodes because I frankly don't need them atm, going into some dps nodes now and maybe to Inner Force.

Conclusion: The build is not bad at all.
