[0.10.current] IR/US tri-ele dual wield [Video added]

Awesome thanks Hyron :)

I'm not sure merc fellshrine is the pinnacle of farming anymore but the build more than holds it's own in points past that, If you do add that up hear pop in a spoiler tag and click your gear in so we can see what you are working with. I'd be curious to see your passive tree also.

(If you pull it up from your character screen at the top you just click the gear and will insert it in the post, also for build posting if you click the [_] BBcode box and name it, the entire link show up much shorter and named as you please)

also /jealous his daggers are both higher rolls than mine.

Video is already recorded, cutted, rendered and is now loading up on Youtube. Note that i couldn't add some background music because of the german GEMA.

When its finished loading up it will appear here:
Insane Eva/Armor Dual Dagger Shadow Build by DarkNRG (Video)

Youtube description:

"

Made a video of DarkNRGs dual dagger shadow build in Path of Exile.
It uses Dual Strike and Cyclone with high amound of evasion and armor combined with high DPS. Build most sets on pure physical damage. Auras and curses are really important to that build, too. More details here:
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/234920/page/1
My Gear/Stats are not perfect yet (too less mana leech and life leech (only 2% each) and resis have to be higher), but i'm on the way to it. I have to improve hitpoints too (will invest in more hp nodes soon).

Meh... i forgot to activate Grace. I first realized it @ 60% uploading -.-

Current gear (also shown in video, same to passiv tree):

Passive wise this is where I am at 62
RnG_ShaidarHaran

I plan on getting the last health node from the top, followed by the 30str nodes for my final HP boosts, I am sitting at roughly 2,000 HP and while some situations do get a little hairy it is still manageable.

As hard as the build hits as is, it could be possible to drop adders touch or the bottom L&S cluster and work your way to more HP and STR for base HP. I think of those 2 options i would drop the bottom L&S nodes and maybe the other armor node as I am already able to cap DR with a granite flask.

Those are however a pain in the ass to manage at times, the flasks i mean. Forgetting to use it at the amount of health i play with would lead to disastrous results.

Perhaps something like this for those interested in more HP
More HP for those alt-f4 core :)

VIDEO IS UP NOW! (i deactivated grace by accident -.- )

Yeah i realized the HP problem too late. Merciless is really hard at the end and i dont have enough refound points to change passives (and not able to buy regret orbs).

So i will see to catch up these hp nodes and more hp on my gear.

For a quick fix you could scale back on some of your damage gear and go about stacking health on all of your items.

I have also updated the first post with 2 other variations of the build for those interested in a larger health pool.

Lemme see your passive tree sir :P Oh wait it might be on the video, I'll have a look and update the title, thank you again for your contribution :P

Loved the video man, we have slightly varying play styles but each person will do their own thing I imagine.

Great quality, and I am glad you are enjoying the build. I will update the main post now and include a special thanks to you for your efforts.

Thanks, but remember, that in ~8 days there will be a huge german guide equal to yours.

Some rearranging of the tree is needed. Some nodes for 8% health was taken instead of one that has a 10% health (i know, not too much difference).

The problem for me, is how to play this character (and progress the passive skills). Seems the damage by dagger (well...any one handed weapon) REALLY sucks. Getting the character started is pretty hard. And when played with a group, i'm hacking on a monster for a few minutes, while others are taking down targets in 2-3 hits. And the party members are the same level or LOWER!! It's pretty sad.
Got up to lvl 18-19, and cannot stand against ONE lone monster, let alone a few when playing in a group/party. I used 2 full mana just for ONE monster! Need ALOT of help!

Where exactly did i miss a 10%hp node? Are you perhaps talking of the 1.0% regen near duelist? Any other HP nodes would cost you excess points to reach.

Also all shadows have mana issues early the fact that you are burning two entire mana pots on one monster makes me a bit skeptical could you link your weapons? Also and this important supporting your skills properly is a must, and the supports required for this build will not all come from just playing a shadow, the first thing you need to do is get the support gems before even attempting this build. You can see which ones I am using in the "spoiler tag on the first post"

I used to have a run down of how I specced for various levels, I have recreated that for those interested.

I have also included a few other points of note throughout this thread that might yield some useful information to you. I will quote them here for you.

What skills are you using, what abilities did you take to level, if you'll note that I mention this is an advanced build that requires solid knowledge of game mechanics which not to be rude but seems like you might have some reading/learning to do. That said I will try to help anyhow and get you on the right path.

A few points of note.

Shadows have mana issues. You can overcome this with mind drinker + a melee physical support on your dual strike. Some mana leech on gear does not hurt but once you get that support gem leveled it isnt needed. I simply use slitherpinch now for the life leech and faster attacks.

Your next concern after mana consumption is to do whatever it takes to get 75% to all resists excluding chaos, we will fill that in where we can later.

Large update to the main post. Including support gems and a breakdown of how to go about leveling without screwing yourself over.

Yeah I just did a large update to the main post myself, It's been long overdue and your video sparked me to work a bit harder on the guide.

I need to clean up the layout a bit and use some more spoiler tags... I would also like to know how in the hell Invalesco changed the colors... I tried BBcode coloring and I couldn't get it to work.
