[1.0.6] CI Crit Dagger Shadow (30k DPS Flicker Ninja) [OB video up!]

Level 49 and I die to anything that looks at me wrong. This build is frustrating as hell with bad gear. So bad. Cannot solo anything. Die to all ranged. Basically have to spam whirling blades to survive any ranged. Lightning strike will get me killed so fast. I'm done playing this crap and don't have any idea what to do now. Time to reroll a class that can survive for more than 30 seconds in solo.

Level 44 at the moment and having so much fun. My DPS with Double Strike is like 1.5k and LS is around 800. At act 2 cruel and having no problem surviving and everything dies in like 2 seconds. HP is at 1.2k. Just spend a little bit on some gear, it's really not that hard to get.

Can you link me what gear your using to give me a better idea of what I should be farming. My LS is like 300. I've still been dual wielding weapons as per guide said.

My gear isn't amazing either. Currently looking to upgrade the amulet and a shield with more res/stats.

hey man, you shouldn't give up so soon
act3 cruel was the hardest part of my lvling for me, I died...a LOT, I had some nerdrage and killed with party general and Piety and died and died and went to merci...I had same problems like U, I was squishy, everything killed me and my dps was extremely poor. And now? I'm lvl 58, have CI and today I completly solo most of quest in act2 without death. It's something that is for most of ppl here just boring, but for me it's a big step ahead, I'm new here and CI/GR shadow is my first spec.

I want to say, don't give up. I'm not a super skilled player, my equip isn't the best and dps is still poor, but I make it. U make it too. U can farm some xp and eq, or craft some eq...and important thing: U can improve your gameplay...it will give you more, than everything else. I was thinking that my gameplay is best I can do, but after some deaths, this game forced me to improve everything I do, use curses, use support flask with evansion/resist, use specifical buffs...there is still a LOT of work you can do on yourself and your charakter and yes it's hard, but it can be stil fun =)

Help me improve!
Spoiler

As I say above, this is my first charakter, I know that I make a lot of mistakes, but who doesn't, when play first time this game? So I will be really happy for some tips or tricks.

Right now I'm 58 lvl with CI/GR, here are my stats:
ES: 2052... ES selfbuff: 2271
29% evade, 20% fire res., 30% cold res., 20% light res.
147 mana + 542 mana reserved, regen: 32,1

1722 dps double strike (+faster attack +melee dmng on full life)
1365 dps lightning strike (+faster attacks +elemental weapon dmng)
1141 dps flicker (+increase crit strike)
666 dps viper (+chaos dmng)
...all without frenzy

Auras: Tempest shield, Clarity, Discipline, Hatred

Equip:
Spoiler


Usually is my main AoE lightning strike with fire trap (stil a lot usable), I try to have Blood rage on yourself and Warlord's mark on enemies. Agaist bosses I stack viper and double strike him to death. Whirling is main escape build and Flicker strike...I think is a quite useless for me now, because I don't have enough link to improve him (and I haven't unfusing orbs)

This char doesn't work bad, finaly is usefull, he isn't one-shot and have nice dps, but still is a bit squishy and have HUGE problems with shocked/frozen/ignite. Is some way to avoid this debuffs? I think that talents to reduce are so far to me...
and main question: what can I do better? What do you do different?

When do you start switching to ES or ES/evade gear for this build? Do you wait until 64 and CI or do you get ES gear sooner

First off i would like to say thank you for the OP For taking the time to write up this build. Im really enjoying it.

But i have some questions.

Right now im sitting at lvl 41 with 979 HP,398 ES. Flicker strike is doing 406 DPS and lightning strike is doing 338.

Right now im in act 2 cruel and im getting owned.... I can kill things just fine but if there is more than 1 or 2 mobs, im dead.

I would show you my gear but i have no idea how to do it. If i do figure out how to show you my gear Is there anyway you guys could give me some advice on what i should upgrade or try to buy so i wont get stomped?


EDIT Found out how to link my items. here they hare.




stack as much life and res on gear as you can. styay away from es gear until you're ready to spec into ci. es is shit before then. get armor, get evas, stack hp/res. get to a1 merci and farm ledge until 60+. get to 64ish and then start collecting gear for ci. get 3.5k unbuffed es before ci spec.






thank you for the help. At the moment im having trouble finding gear that i need. I have chaos orbs for sale and im willing to get rid of them for some gear. If anyone has anything that has life res,armor or evasion on it PM Me and ill give you a good deal.

I switch in act2 before all quests, +- 2k ES, about 57. lvl

Even though this isn't a pure ES chest, would this chest be considered "almost high-end" for a CI shadow build like this one ?
