Had a lvl 43 Crit Dagger shadow in the making that I abandoned a while back...but I found an Abyssus Last Night and this dagger today:)

Nothing too special...but I was wondering about a few things because I've never made a CI character before...

-It seems that CI Characters don't require every piece of gear to be ES...which items/uniques should I get for this build if I don't have great gear in the other slots to begin with?
-Blood Dance Boots? Maligaro's? Rainbow? Dream?

-And I have this chest...

-Should I put my currency into a better chest, or go for other items/a better dagger?


I personally find Maligaro's to be super strong and I haven't had a super hard time surviving. I think if you can get enough ES from shield, chest, shoes, then you can run maligaro's and alpha's howl.
Been playing this build for a few weeks now and to be honest, I'm struggling... Solo maps are mostly fine apart from the few phys reflect maps.

However, whenever it comes to groups, my character seems to do jack all. For 6 member groups, most bosses pretty much 1-2 shot me, and if I'm not careful I can die very easily to rare / magic mobs... meanwhile there are duelists with nothing but BoR + WoE doing way more damage than me and face tanking everything, I literally have to re-cast blood rage every 10 seconds since I'm never able to get the last hit on any monsters either, seems a bit imbalanced...

I'm thinking of switching to Reave, but that would involve me having to rechrome everything and also makes me extremely vulnerable to phys reflect mobs.

Currently level 84 with 14k DPS on lightning strike and 26k DPS on double strike. 5k ES, maxed out res and 47% evasion.

@Above...

-Not using Discipline has lost you 300 Base ES...that's pretty big.
(You might be able to afford the mana cost if you get the aura nodes between Shadow and Ranger)

-Replace Double Strike with Frenzy...easy charges in group.

---Replace Weapon 3L with...
-Whirling Blades
-Increased Duration
-Blood Rage

-Instead of getting that first frenzy charge through the +10 Dex node...get the +18% duration.
May I ask is this build updated constantly after patches, nerf, etc to one of the best of it's stated build?

In a word, yes.

If you need additional advise and aren't finding it here you may PM me with questions, as a Veteran Shadow I've used this build since beta and may be able to help.

Sure! Finally an awesome community to be a part in. Thanks. Will let you know if I have any questions.
supposing i would go for vaal pact, what would be the shortest path to get there, i cant see any viable way really =/.
and another question, im not sure if there is an answer, would vaal pact be a solid choid for domination league? thanks.

It's still possible, but it's a real pain to get there. I would just level as usual, grab the ES nodes that I need, after speccing into CI, and only when my gear is good enough to give up the loss in damage buffer, respec a few of them into heading towards VP

i have one question: i've been using spectral thrown since ever instead of lightning strike,i even tryied to use lighntning strike for a bit but i couldnt stand the range and i felt safer using ST. so what i am asking is if spectral throw is viable in this build or if im just screwing my area dps, thanks in advance.
