I picked the Bloodrinker passive for 2% life leech, it doesn't show on my EK listing but it does on my dual strike, should EK be able to leech from that passive or do you pick it for the 8% life only?

It's picked for the life value only. Blood Drinker leeches physical attack damage. EK is a spell, not an attack.

Hopefully I'll find time to reformat today.

BTW, Taste of Hate seems like a very nice Flask for this build. Unlike Atziri's, it has no Leech, but it has a built-in Lightning Coil, which is nice.

I was thinking the same thing. Most of the new uniques are really disappointing to me, but the flask is a standout item.

Can't wait for this build to be updated to 1.3 really wanna play EK this league.

K, updated the OP. Lemme know if you notice anything I missed.

DPS went up to 47K, Life to 6100. AA is weaker, sure, but this build is much stronger now.

bump for 1.3

This build atziri viable? Looking for something fun to play that can also do Atziri.
Also, from reading the guide, my 5L LC will just be a waste of links then essentially?

Actually, LC is perfectly viable, and even if a 6L is best, a 5L works just fine. This is certainly Atziri viable, if you run the right auras and use flasks right. I'd imagine this build with gear on the level I have, is Uber viable, as well.

Aight, Levelled a bit, seems pretty fun, will report back in once i hit a decently high level.

I have a lvl 80+ Shadow on standard I'd like to try this on but with totems. I'm not really sure if it would work for that with the totem changes. but what would you suggest dropping in order to pick up at least Shamanistic Fury (3pts) and Totemic Zeal (5pts)? Ancestral Bond is right there as well with could make a tempting tritotem, but I haven't played anything like that yet so I'm unfamiliar with how it works.
