[1.0.5] - Lvl 100 Blastrophe's LA Life Based Crit Shadow w Video (Lioneyes or Voltaxic)

It appears that BM will cost 4 more skill points to reach for us after patch. Any reason to skip it or still think it's the way to go?
On the plus side iron grip is now right along the path to BM

Can u add some low level tips? Because you can't use LA in low level, costs way 2 much mana.
I used LA with lmp/chain at a pretty low level and picked up BM when I had about 2K hp. I had 3 instant hp pots and 2 instant mana pots. It was a pain, but I didn't want to invest in any mana nodes and respec later. I had a bit of mana/mana regen on gear but not much.





Interesting point about BM being 4 more points a way :/ I'd hate to spec out of BM and use the gem, but if it'll save quite a few passives and allow me to run some auras I donno. Vitality, haste, purity sound kinda nice.

From the looks of it we also lose 3 passives of life so its really only 1 passive away when you think about it. Also Iron Grip won't help much with voltaxic users due to the damage gained being physical so I might drop that for BM making it 4 points :3

In low levels its best to put cheap uniques to work such as slitherpinch and that leather belt for leech only down side is that you won't be able to use LA during that period as the leech is based off physical damage.

Has anyone used Point Blank passive with the build, not using Voltaxic?
Seems to me like Point Blank with a Lioneyes may be decent vs off screen and far away reflects.
I do get carried away sometimes and just keep blasting. Not sure what "less damage" calculates too but just a thought.
Alright, quite a few gear upgrades since my last post.

Current gear:



Really need to upgrade my jewelry and belt.... and quiver. I have horrible resists right now, but it's slowly getting there.

Spoiler







I am level 74 and I'm curious where to start putting my next few points. Next two levels I was going to go for the 4% move speed so I can grab Conditioning which will put me over 5K health. Next maybe Deadly Draw node group or Heartseeker or Bloodthirst? Need more crit chance!









Oh, and sorry for stealing your skin transfer idea.... best look I've seen on a shadow so far! Take it as a compliment hahaha

Just focus on getting resists settled before quiver since the quiver should just be pure DPS with life. As for your passives I would recommend getting the 4 70% Multi passives before deadly draw and blood thirst before that also. Crit is most important especially since it will make getting power charges nearly impossible on a single target till you have a good amount so I would recommend not even going for power charges yet and just using faster attacks on frenzy for now.

Alright, I'll head that way next and see how it does. I did an ele weakness map and I had -90 res haha... I sped through the acts and didn't really pay attention to resists... I'll shop around on poe.xyz and hopefully get them a bit decent first.
