Ok guys this dagger with high attack speed is SO awesome and has completely changed the limits of how I can play, it's so awesome that I made a video demonstrating it (just a solo merciless a3 Docks run)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mefW_ZcdWt0 (nevermind the video for now, I had radio on while frapsing and youtube blocked it due to the music zzzz, I'll make another one tomorrow)
I had my doubts about this build post-CI nerf, but after seeing Invalesco's OB footage I knew that it would still be good, just need better gear. I can't consistently faceroll maps yet (some are hard) but I'm sure I would be able to when I upgrade more gear and get another thousand ES or as close to it as possible. Before buying this dagger I was using one with 249 top damage but only 1.2 speed. It was really really cumbersome. If I'm chilled right now with this new dagger, I'm still attacking faster or as fast as when I was not chilled when I was using a 1.2 speed dagger.. haha
(rest of my gear so far)
Spoiler
also I took Vaal Pact already and I'm 1 level away from finishing the 3 Inner Force nodes (I haven't taken the dagger dps nodes right under CI yet)
just bought this today for 8 exalt
it has more dps than any 300+ dagger I've seen due to the 1.75 speed (add min damage + max damage, divide by 2, multiply by attacks per second)... which has turned me into a machine gun monster with LS, Double Strike, and flicker
especially with how ridiculously fast I attack with double strike with frenzy charges up and haste aura, I just melt stuff due to crits proccing Shock so often from the attack speed on this dagger
With Wrath/Haste/Hatred/Discipline:
Doublestrike: 9k dps, 3.73 attacks per second
Lightning Strike: 4.5k dps, 3.73 attacks per second
Flicker Strike: 10.5k dps, 4.7 attacks per second (can almost use up all 5 flicker-frenzy charges on a single target within 1 second for some ridiculous burst damage)
rofl...
and even higher if I use Maligaro's Virtuosity but I need the resists on my ES gloves right now
so if any of you guys buying a new dagger, some damage on the dagger is definitely worth sacrificing if you can find a really fast one that still has decent damage
another thing I learned (with a conversation with Invalesco) is that 4linking your flicker strike helps your survival a LOT, in the dock run in my video, I was face-tanking stuff and everytime I was getting kind of low, I'd unleash the flickerspam and my ES would gain chunks back from ES steal, vaal pact, and big crits on linked flickerstrike
Can we get a link to your skill tree ?
and that dragger looks amazing ha did you begin grouping maps when you hit 70+ with friends or you waited tell you can solo?
Well, this is actually a funny build for PvP, just completed "Growing Pains" Stage 1, figured I'd queue for PvP, ended up just flicker+frenzy+flicker killing someone 5 times in a row lol.
Though I do feel it was unfair, since I'm using
But hey, that's an awesome dagger for it's level lol. Ignore the gem in it though, just leveling it :3.
Overall this build is pretty fun, I've died a ton on my other characters, but this guy still has 0 deaths. Kind of hard to catch a ninja I guess?
