With the changes in the patch will this still be a viable HC build?

Until we try it out there's no way to know. I'll be giving feedback with my lvl78, but you'd also want to know how hard the lvling process would be. If it's your first char and you have no ES gear in the bank then it would probably still be a no for HC.

Ok then. Is there a more friendly HC dagger build out there?

The next patch isn't out yet. How could anyone possibly know how viable any build is in the next build at the moment.

If you didn't know, this happens tomorrow.

hey guys stopped by to read the thread since I am coming back on my shadow for patch. And this dropped. Already have one so if anyone is buying pm me

I think you're going to have to change the thread title. I'm not a top tier flicker ninja but my flicker went from 10k to 15k dps. Does anyone have a 50k dps flicker now? Also I just got this from Catacomb map boss in an open party :-D good times.

Anyone play around with the new patch and reset their passives yet? I'm trying to figure out a good ES% to shoot for, previously I have 159%, not sure what would be a decent amount now.

Also with Nullification nodes at 10% now, I'm debating making the trek over to Templar area for the 16% Body and Soul nodes. If I do that I can also grab the 140% (3 combined nodes) 1H Crit and Power Charge nodes over there. You guys think that would be worth it?

Its all relative to the dmg enemies do. If they do 2% less dmg, and we have 2% less ES, its all a wash. Also, what would you give up to get over there?

I lose the little 6% ES nodes in the middle, so it adds up as maybe 20%-30% less ES total.

HOWEVER, I end up getting 140% Crit Chance (!!!), an extra Power Charge, and 16% all Elemental Resistances. On top of that 88% free Armor with my ES nodes, pretty much completely offsets the Granite nerf.

Here is the 118 point Final Build I had in mind:


I currently have 103 points to allocate that I am still deciding how to spend.

I'm running a few maps right now to try and see how much ES% I'd actually need, the final build above has 170% increased ES on top of the 20% more from CI of course.
