Too little ES which will cause you to die horribly and you used way too many points use about 91 points.

There are two main reasons why your ES would be very low the first being is that you have no shield so you loose out on that chunk of ES. The second reason why you have low ES is due to the little amount of ES nodes you have.

When compared to other CI builds that have shields you will notice that you have little ES nodes compared to them and add on the fact that you don't have the ES from a shield like those builds and you'll notice that your build has very low ES compared to other builds which imo will cause you to die alot.


If I where you I would change you build so that it looks something more like this:


Also as a last note I would like to let you know that leech caps at 20% per sec of the effected pool so it's possible that your leech could suffer due to low ES.

This looks much better. I got a question, is the ES enough without a shield? I'm hesitating about dual weapon or with a shield. THX
This is a build I'd consider trying in the future on a Shadow, but in my opinion, I think that if your life depends on your Energy Shield only, you should stack as much as you can, and use a shield. However, if you're going to run with claws and Leech your shield back constantly, then I don't see a problem with dual-wielding. If you're not going to use ES leech, then go with the shield.
