Hi do you think crit is necessary?I mean without crit LA vs crit LA which would be better?If you drop crit nodes you can get more life nodes

You need to crit to shock. You need crit.

OP, is this build viable in the new leagues, meaning no 1000 life Kaoms? Im building something similar and Im not sure if I should go for BM passive. Obviously, mana is already a problem at 4-links running an aura, but I worry about no solo dps with no auras and survivability in general. Running no auras frees up a lot skill points though.

Actually, depending on the price of the new Kaom, there's a good chance I will never get one, so Im not sure if this is viable for me at all.

You get alot of life now without kaoms since they rebuffed life so and this build gets a good amount of life % aswell.

Yea, we will have to see.

I would really like to be able to run an aura as it opens up for a ton of flexibility when youre able to run purity, grace, determination or just more dps in the form of wrath or hatred. The added mana on LG would be really handy for this, although the new bows with high crit value could make life a lot easier.

Is this a good Build for the Endgame and doing Maps alone and in a group?
Before the Patch I was playing LA/Frenzy now I search a build that is nearly the same.

Damage isn't a problem with this build and if you play with a group damamge output is pretty absurd if you look at the screen shots. Survivability also increased with 1.0 because of more life and the fact that you don't reserve any of it for auras also helps.

I must ask something..
Make_a_witch showed his/her skilltree ( some posts back) for the LA Shadow and he have in the right down corner of the skilltree picked the Heartseker node (40% inc. critical strike multiplier) + 3 of 10% inc. critical strike multiplier nodes to get it.
If one would to pick the (also total 4 nodes) Deadly Draw node instead (40% inc. crit strike multiplier with bows) and the 3 nodes around (15%+15%+25% inc. crit mult w bows + 6% inc. phys. dmg w bows) instead, will it not be a lot better?
After all he do dmg with the bow and LA, right?
Is there something i miss here and "inc. crit multiplier" is better than the bow variant?
I mean he get total 70% "increased crit multiplier" with his choice but with the "bow nodes" he gets 95% "inc. crit multilpier w bows" + 6% "inc. phys dmg w bows" for the same node points and he already have the surrounding nodes to thats no extra.
If the "inc. crit str multiplier" is better, can someone explain to me why?
I have gone with the bow nodes but if the other are somehow better i want to know plz.
Thank you
