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

For lightning thorns Take out the lightning skank that's casting it. Hold down the button for double strike on her then also press the button for flicker button for a sec. You will flicker to her and immediately double strike. Be sure to granite because of the soldiers around her. Another way is to just use Topaz Flask. It increases max Lit resist by 10%. If you are already 75% lit resist and flask to 85%, that's 40% less lit damage taken.

I'd like to share my progress with this char. I recently found a new Platinum Kris while farming docks. It's slightly better than the Slaughter Knife I was using. I also found a nice EV/ES shield in City of Sarn. My Low Life RF iir/iiq char is paying off well. My ES is now about 6k. I also got my accuracy up to 81%. Accuracy is pretty important because w/o it you are just flushing offensive nodes down the commode. I'm also using Increased accuracy support gem with LS. It adds a good amount of dps and saves on mana cost because not missing=more leech. I'm using increased increased crit and crit dmg gems with flicker strike because with 5 power charges, Flicker has a 58% chance to crit. This gives a better chance to 1 shot things to continue to Flicker. Never use Multi with Flicker because that's just suicide. Here is my latest gear and old dagger also.

why is my damage so bad compared to OP's?

gear i use:

What is your Crit Chance/Crit Multiplier? Also I notice you dagger is high DPS, but it is mostly elemental damage. On rings/ammy physical damage can't roll that high which is why we go for lightning damage on those pieces, but on daggers you always want majority physical damage since most of your passive nodes are physical nodes. Your dagger only has 142 physical dps, you want to look for at least 200+.

And your Crit Chance/Multiplier is also a giant factor in this builds DPS. Invalesco has 800% Multiplier, so yeah :]

I heard that gem and support gem quality had some kind of multiplicative bonus too. Is that true?

How I believe it works is all your "Increase Crit Multiplier" is added together and then multiplied by your base Crit Multiplier (150%) to get your total Multiplier for that skill.

I know how multi works for example 800 crit multi requires a 530% increased crit multi. I just rember Invalesco saying something about gem quality playing a big factor in the 30k dps. here is a melee gem I'm leveling in my boots

I'm just wondering if it's the same as a passive node or if it stacks differently some how.

Nope, stacks exactly the same. Here is my Q Crit Damage:

is this build any good with static blows and the passive right next to it? i have around 27% crit chance so surely this would make my dps go up loads? (since our build is like 2 points away from static blows this would only cost 4 points total)

Since we are a crit build we shock every time we crit anyway, so it'd be better to spend those points on crit chance or more damage.

This is especially true since shock duration is based on the amount of lightning damage. Static blows only works for non-crit elemental builds like ele cleave, since our only Lightning damage is Wrath we need a crit to even apply shock.

yes you need crits to apply shocks but this would make ALL my hits have a 20% chance to shock people on top of 27% more from my basic crit rolls with wrath.

Yes, 20% may seem like a good investment, but let me show you some math.

The formule to calculate shock duration is:

"

If N > L ÷ 3, then N = L ÷ 3
D = N ÷ ( L ÷ 100 ) × 276ms

Let N be the Lightning Damage dealt and L be the target's maximum Life.

If the duration would be less than 300 milliseconds, the Shock effect is not applied. The maximum, unmodified Shock duration from Lightning Damage is 9.2 seconds.

So with Arcing Blows+Inner Force+Lvl19 Wrath, I have maximum 229 added lightning damage to my attacks. Since we're talking about Static Blow non-crits, that means for the sake of example you never crit (we're just calculating the added benefit of only Static Blows.)

In a 71 map an average rare is maybe 40k-50k hp, so if we do the math above:

"

40k ÷ 100 = 400
229 ÷ 400 = ~0.57
0.57 × 276ms = 157ms

DOESN'T EVEN APPLY SHOCK :[

So Static Blows will only apply shock on mobs with less than ~200HP.

Do you see the futility now? (Forumla directly from wiki.)

Whoops I forgot to account that Static Blows increases Shock duration by about 55%, so that means you can shock 300-400HP mobs now :x
