Perz what do u think is better: 40% more ES im tree or discipline that give me 1k more ES??

i am thinking about quit 6 dmg nodes to get more ES.

discipline

Is claw's the most optimal? Even without claw's prefix life leech and vaal pact combination, our fast attack speed + instant leech should be able to sustain us no?

I am leveling and having lots of trouble finding decent dps claws, whilst daggers and other 1h weapons like swords and rapiers have so much more damage.


That being said, I am only lv 23, and thinking ahead.

He answered this in the FAQ:

also i've been asked a lot why claws are better than daggers.
the answer is: they are better, because of a) the fact that the dmg output from claws doesn't peak as much as from daggers and b) the much higher leech (12% from nodes + 3-6% from claw itself).

i.eg. if you compare an imperial skean to an imperial claw, the difference from min to max dmg on the dagger is 50 as where the difference on the claw is only 29. meaning a claw does constant "good" dmg as where the dagger sometimes does low and sometimes high dmg. on the low dmg attacks you might not leech enough to recover your es/life and on the high dmg attacks you risk dying to reflect mobs, especially when you crit with high crit multiplier. for claws on the other hand you constantly leech enough and your dmg doesn't spike that high which makes it much safer vs reflect mobs. this way you can run safely through reflect maps without having to worry about high crit dmg being reflected to yourself from time to time.

nonetheless it's up to you what weapon you decide to use but if you build your char, remember to think about reflect mobs before you do.

Well. I decided to give away nice EV/ES shield for this build.
It doesnt have much resists or + int bonus, but compensates with high ES.




It's worth few exalteds, so please, dont take it to sell it or something.
Leave it for someone who needs it.

(just quote post if you want to claim it)

*it's on STANDARD

I wouldn't mind claiming that shield :) [Didn't Claim the shield since it's in standard League's. It still available]

I just started my shadow, and aiming for 80+ before the league's end, so it would be a huge help reaching the goal.

Claws early game suck, and the requirements are high. Just skip the specific claw damage nodes early, use any weapons you can get that gives you most tooltip untill you find a high level claw. And the leech is for having all that survivability, ON double/tripple reflect maps, I have no issue unless its minus max res or vulnerability. And this build has potential of over 60k dps, you really wont need more lol.

So I am kind of confused. It says you have 114 strength but you're using lvl 15 molten shell which uses 125 strength. how is that possible =/

Not sure if you were refering to my post. But it's level 14(119 str) and I have str specced in my tree.

and if its from perz's gear and stuff you're looking at, he's probably had a gear change, and hasn't updated the pictures or something I presume.
