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

I have some questions not sure if they've been asked before.

I see that you're planning on running 5 auras but you didn't take any mana nodes. Are you gonna be able to support all these especially since they raise the mana cost for auras in .10?

And would you consider using frenzy instead of double strike for single target end game? I haven't done the calculation but since frezy gain 10% attack speed and 10% phy damage per frenzy charge, it might yields higher dps.

I really like all of your guilds. They helped me a lot. Cheers!

In early game is taking the projectile damage instead of the one handed damage viable? Wouldn't this give yo lightning strike higher damage as well?

I remember in pre-beta this build used used the projectile damage, why change?

I've never taken projectile damage actually. you must have confused this with another guide! :p

4 auras are the basic. 5 auras are if, and only if you get enough mana. Most CI builds rely on dream fragments unique sapphire ring. It provides 20% increased maximum mana which is definitely enough.

I have actually done some calculations. Double Strike will provide more DPS because it's basically 140% increased damage effectiveness of your physical and elemental damage. It costs less mana as well. Not to mention that since it's 2 attacks, if you crit the first attack you will crit the 2nd attack as well and since lightning crits shock the opponent, your second attack will yield 40% more damage. Essentially it means that whenever you crit, damage effectiveness of double strike gets amplified to around 170% or so.

Frenzy will yield higher physical DPS but lose out on elemental. It also costs too much mana to make it worth the trouble.

Plus, I love double strike's animation! :)

yw!

I find myself using dual strike instead of double strike, I am now in act 3-normal. Why did you choose for double strike?

I'm also wondering where you got all your passive skill points from.. (I did do Oak right)

I hope you could help me.

I'm having a hard time completing act 3, but whatever. I'll work it out eventually. Can't wait for end-game. It's a struggle atm, but I'm sure it can be done!

Quick question, am I supposed to keep Lightning Strike at level 1? I'm a bit unsure of where to get my strength from. Rely on it to roll on items?

what about the lvl of the gems? like lightining strike, viper, whirling blades and the others? thx

omg, I was just able to acquire a Dual Strike gem with 11% quality, for a measly increased duration support gem :D

Double Strike is more useful at endgame, on normal and cruel I'd say Dual Strike is better

You can probably level it up to about 8 or so safely. Strength is pretty easy to come by from gear and also a couple of passives on the skilltree. just be wary of mana cost and such depending on what supports you stick on it.

Viper Strike and Whirling Blades should have pretty low mana costs at this stage so you can safely level them up pretty much. you can always hold off on leveling them up if your gear is lacking

Is there any advantage to rolling dual wielded daggers, or is the shield a must?

Thanks, for the builds really gives us rookies something to work from.

Hey this will prolly be a noob question but im kind of confused im 24 now and i dont have 27 skill points like mentioned in the guide did i fuck up somewhere or what dont know if i have to start over or if i missed something.

Hello, im following this build and just have one major question. If its going chaos inoculation, why are there so many health nodes in it?
