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

I do like to play in parties but I was hoping that after all that goes into it that I would have the ability to solo like other builds. My single target DPS is 3700 and LS is 1700 at full buffs and 5 charges

Right now I'm using dual strike with faster attacks and mele full life. Is double strike actually better than dual strike?

You can't use Dual Strike with a shield.

So yes, you have to use double strike.

I'm not using a shield. Here is my setup with poop gear that I out lvled long ago excluding the robe that I recently bought. I'm currently trying to buy gear and wondering if dual wielding is actually getting me more dps.

Here is my gear. This is my first char and I've not had good luck. I dual wield and use dual strike. I plan to have all es gear to make up for the shield. Yes, I know the color rolls will be very hard :/

Here is my Tree. I need to grab the 30 dex nodes next

If you had a shield you could easily spec out of those 5 center ES nodes, all the dual wield nodes, and immediately pick up Inner Force plus that Agility node you're missing. You could also dump the frenzy charge duration node (do you really run out? O.o I only do when flickering or in big parties - neither of which is helped by 18% increased duration) and pick up the first Dagger Damage and Critical Strike node on the way to Flaying.

As to gear, your daggers are seriously in need of help. They're *both* worse than my old dagger that was. You could also roll your sockets to better colors without a lot of work; this can make a world of difference in how well your skills work. For example, rolling your gloves to RRGG to replace ICS with Weapon Elemental Damage, and rolling your chest to at least RGBB to get Melee damage on Full Life on your Flicker Strike. You also don't seem to have Hatred or Warlord's Mark available anywhere; they're both fantastic. Because I have a dagger with high physical damage, Hatred gives me about twice the dps increase Wrath does.

ok after 21 chromes I got the rrgg gloves then on the first chest roll I get this

A pretty rare roll but I don't think it's useful to me. Maybe I can trade it to another build that needs it.
Cures wise I've been using crit weakness because that's what I have room for. It's good quality and says 70% "more" instead of "increased" so I'm guessing thats a lot of dmg.
I'm using this unique belt over my high es belts because the leach seems to help a lot yet nothing to go vaal pact about yet.



Edit:With weapon elemental and anger over clarity I'm having problems with mana. Now instead of "bam bam ugh bam ugh ogh bam bam bam" it's "bam bam ugh bam wiff bam ugh uah".

Edit: I should get an Eye of Chayula. You think an exult or a gcp would get me one?

Hey everyone. I'm a ground slam lvl 79 mara. I sit at ~6k hp\80 all res, 18k single target and 11k aoe dps. I can do any map, BUT i'm really concerned about phys dmg scaling with no crits and very late game viability. I see maybe 25k dps with godlike gear etc.

I don't do mage\ranged and go only melee. But I am a total noob in shadow department and thus I come to #1 thread for help. I have the ability to get any gear I need so the question is: can this(or preferably the one with hp\armor) build surpass groundslam build dps\survivability\party usefulness very late game???

Single target DPS yes, survivability no, "usefulness" is open to opinion. Is this the most powerful shadow build in game? No. It is viable at end game? Yes. Do many people succeed with this build? No.

So ask yourself this, do you want a challenge? :)

For more specifics of what it's like at end game look back in the thread to a VOD iv posted of me doing high end maps. Also read the section at the bottom of the guide entitled "Additional advice from other high level players" that will hopefully give you an idea of what this spec is about.

I need some help. Ive been trying to craft a shield& belt for my shadow, and I managed to get a pretty decent belt:
Now, Ive been rolling a ilvl 75 Titanium Spirit shield hoping to get a high ES shield, and I just rolled this one:
Should I actually exalt that or just reroll and hope to get both %ES and flat ES with the first 3 stats?

Need help with mana. My LS is eating my mana and I run out if I'm not attacking large group of mobs. My max mana is 751 with 106 after reserve. I'm using Discipline(200x74%=148) Hatred(30%x74%=165) Grace(185) and Wrath(146).

my LS uses 32 mana with .37 att speed with 2100dps buffed with 0 charges

links:


I also have this unique with 2 extra mana leech giving me 4% total


Can anyone spot what my problem is?
Edit: I'm thinking it bc im not linking Mana "Leech/Weapon Elemental Damage" like first post says

I've decided to spec out of dual wield and go with double attack and es shield by the way.

Well I rolled the dice on my shield, and out of the 16% chance I had to get the mod I wanted....







I got it! it rolled a 47% out of possible 65% increased ES/Armor.
