[1.2.x] Rampage | Life Crit Dagger Lightning Strike HoA Proliferation

I needed to make a Scion for 65 achievement. I did not see many players utilizing the excellent critical chance nodes and critical multiplier nodes on the left hand side of the tree. I decided to use endurance cry and immortal call for physical mitigation since the scion tree passes by the Potency of Will and Exceptional Performance nodes. Not sure if this is hardcore viable.

I picked Lightning Strike because I never used it as a main skill and I think it looks neat.

20% Lightning Strike is the only mandatory skill gem. However, I suggest picking up a 20% Immortal Call, and Increased Duration. Level 4 enhance is ideal. Quality on other gems is preferable.

Pros:
+High Damage
+Excellent Critical Hit Chance
+11+ second Immortal Call with 5 endurance charges
+Different than your usual Shadow dagger builds
+Can shock
+Excellent killing potential from HoA + elemental proliferation + increased burning damage

Cons:
-Can be stunned
-Okay defenses
-Can die to elemental or physical reflect if not careful

Have endurance charges up as much as possible. Use immortal call against hard hitting mobs or mobs with physical reflect. Go up to enemies and kill them. See other monsters burn from the proliferation from herald of ash. Use ST against elemental reflect if you think you will die.

Lightning Strike - Melee Physical Damage - Faster Attacks - Multistrike - Increased Critical Damage - Weapon Elemental Damage/Added Fire/Additional Accuracy (Increased Critical is 5th link, Weapon Elemental/other is 6th link) You do not need to run LMP/GMP

Reduced Mana - Herald of Ash - Elemental Proliferation - Increased Burning Damage

Reduced Mana - Hatred - Whirling Blades - Faster Attacks

Enduring Cry - Echo

Immortal Call - Increased Duration - Enhance

Spectral Throw - Power Charge on Critical - Faster Projectiles - Lesser Multiple Projectiles (Use for power charges and against large packs of ele reflect)

Oak/Oak/Oak No need for extra power charge. You have enough crit chance as is.

Weapon: Dagger will be most expensive piece. You can craft one yourself using Elreon or try and buy a good one.
Armor: Lightning Coil is nice.
Gloves: Maligaro's Virtuosity or gloves with 10% + attack speed, life, resistances, and phys damage.
Boots: Typical Life, resistances, movement speed
Helm: Life, resistances/intelligence/accuracy
Belt: You can use Meginord's Girdle, a good leather belt or heavy belt. If you have a 6 link armor then you might want to use a rustic belt with %Elemental Damage.
Shield: 1000+ defense with life and resistances (+Block is nice). Strive for at least 30% block on your shield.
Rings: Life, added physical damage (maybe %elemental damage), accuracy, resists, and maybe 2% mana leech
Amulet: Added physical damage, Accruacy, 4%+ life leech (and mana leech, but probably expensive)

6% Life Leech
4% Mana Leech

Can do most maps. Make sure you have Topaz, Ruby, and Sapphire flasks handy for big hitting elemental bosses/enemies. Half regen may be annoying. Temp chains isn't bad... longer immortal call. Ele reflect might be a problem, but you may opt to use spectral throw or skip. Phys reflect can be a problem if you forget to have immortal call or your endurance charges active.
