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

What are your thoughts on using this build as Dual Wield with dual strike?

I'm level 43 and nearing the end of Act 1 on Ruthless. I'm starting to pick up the dagger passives, but the best I've found so far is a claw from Act 2 in Cruel.

At what point is it worth it to craft a dagger? I've been keeping my eye out for white daggers with a quality rating but I'm finding nothing.

You get plenty of Armourer's Scrap + Blacksmith Wheatstones while leveling.BW is the one that increases the quality of weapons and 3AS can be traded for another BW so you can prolly get any dagger up to 20% quality.Crafting isn't worth it in my opinion, keep an eye out for global chat, you can probably get a good dagger there.

i like this build however i feel as if its getting extremely slow to level right now. i just recently went ci and its quite fun. i know my gear is garbage but im only doing around 650 damage right now in merciless a1 with my lightning strike are others having this same experience? if im doing something wrong please help me out and fill in the gaps !

this is my garbage gear. although i just traded for this dagger which i believe should help a good amount.

Can I ask how much ES you have? I also took CI already on level 43 and my damage is really low due to messed up tree and having to equip a shield for more ES.

I only got about 1k ES. I'm adjusting to the play style and been dying a lot and losing a lot of xp. Although I think I'm getting used to the build.

Hello everyone made my shadow to about 65, what do you think I can upgrade easily?

Your gear is perfectly fine the weapon elemental damage gem will make your damage skyrocket try to get one linked to your lightning strike and use auras. I am not a trader so I forced myself to find and craft my stuff.

I ended up playing up until the ledge in A1 merciless with this build, stopping at around level 52. I think my gear is just quite bad (don't have the ES gear to go CI) and I'm having more and more problems with desync deaths due to needing to escape from packs with whirling blades.

I restarted another shadow (level 58 now) and went with the spork totem build and to me it is much much easier to survive with terrible gear and resists.

Thanks for the guide!

I love this build, I'm level 46 and I think this is awesome!

Danos' build would be a good example of a dual wielding dagger shadow :)

@Hamsterzen: Regarding daggers, what bogdan said is right. its easier to purchase one rather than craft one due to the fact that they're hybrid weapons. Start crafting when no one else has a better dagger than u :)

@amdreamer: your chestpiece and gold ring can probably be upgraded relatively easily!

Yup, this build is pretty tough and needs alot of patience to obtain the right kind of gear. Casters do tend to be easier! Hopefully when you find better gear with ur spork shadow you can use them for your dagger shadow :)
