Leveling
For leveling follow this guide made by Zizaran
https://youtu.be/wEdCBwoSmvo If you help Alira for the Bandit Reward in Act 2 she will give you: 5 Mana Regenerated per second +20% to Global Critical Strike Multiplier +15% to all Elemental Resistances Use Hatred and Herald of Ash until you get the 4th and last ascendancy node, then you switch to Discipline and Hatred. You can also wait to this point with taking the Essence Surge nodes and getting Leo's ES recharge on rings. Order of Ascendancy points: 1.Harness The Void->2.Weave The Arcane->3.Swift Killer->4.Specc out of Swift Killer and take Ghost Dance and Escape Artist(Same time you switch to Discipline and Essence Surge nodes and Leo lvl 3 Es recharge on rings. For Pantheon Powers I generally use Soul of Lunaris and Soul of Ryslatha.
Playstyle
Moving, always moving. Moving gives mana, moving makes harder to hit. Moving costs no mana and increases attack and cast speed. Es is life - it is a buffer from big hits, attack when on full and retreat when on low. ES recharges fast, can go over 1K pr. second. Must keep up blades, 10 is max. Stop to make blades, move and attack, stop to make blades, push all flasks for max damage, rinse and repeat. Instant life flask as emergency buttons, slam and gtfo.

Why Farrul's Fur and Farrul's Bite?
1. Free Aspect of The Cat (Like having a Aura with no reservation)https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Aspect_of_the_Cat 2. Permanent uptime of frenzy and power charges 3. Armor turns into a 200+ ES chest when using Trickster's Escape Artist node, the helmet 1K+ EV 4. Adds both offensive and defensive stats that synergize well with Trickster 5. Looks like you are wearing a Predator cloaking device
Ring DPS Combo
A very high damage from rings, and fairly cheap, can be obtained by using a Elder ring with crit. multi, and the unique ring Mark of The Shaper. I didn't use it in the video because the shaper balls from the ring makes the fight messy and more dangerous
Endgame Shield
Endgame shield can be crafted using Essences of Scorn on a ilvl 86+ Supreme Spiked Shield base. These shields can only get spell crit from essences. I spent about 200 Screaming Essence of Scorn to get a shield with high life, es, ev and spell crit. I ended up with one without life but spell damage instead, it was just too good to roll over..

I gave up on getting 5 blue and 1 green - phys 2 lightn. instead of empower would work well.
Then its possible to do go full conversion and run phys reflect maps, just swap in Hrimssorrow. Less mana cost as well. Atziri would also be easier, now I have to lower my damage to not get killed by her 1%(?) reflect. Kitty's Guide On Post Formatting - view-thread/1913874

Dont think its worth grabbing the 4th frenzy charge by shadow area for 2 more points?
also didnt get lucky enough to hit 5b 1g D: Meow meow secret mission meow

I prioritize jewel slots over frenzy charges, depends on how good jewels u got I guess.
Just test the changes in PoB and do what feels best for you. I spent a bit amount of time min maxing the stuff i put together, trying to get the best balance between damage and survivability. I think the threshold for good damage with blade vortex is around 800k to 1 million shaper dps without flasks active, after that just put everything in defense - life, es, eva, blind, dodge - u name it. I actually specced out of a life node and the power charge node I had after you made that comment, spent the 3 points on a jewel slot and gained more life and damage. Had a pretty perfect unused jewel in my inventory for it. Kitty's Guide On Post Formatting - view-thread/1913874 Последняя редакция: Dkodr. Время: 12 апр. 2018 г., 4:12:53

"Do you have Weave The Arcane node for Trickster? And lvl 3 Enlighten linked to Hatred and Discipline? And the Quick Recovery nodes with life and mana regen? And you need to use shield charge all the time, moving restores 10% mana 20% of the time. edit: AND I forgot to mention, the Potency of Will node cluster is important for skill effect duration, that again affects the blade sustain. You can also get up to 15% skill effect duration on rare elder boots. Mana regen on gear will also help. Kitty's Guide On Post Formatting - view-thread/1913874 Последняя редакция: Dkodr.
