Im level 65 now using somewhat of this guide. The damage output seems kinda low imo and my health likes to spike up and down. Playing on nemesis so i had to take more health nodes but i still have most all of the crit nodes aswell. Just seems like the packs dont insta die like i was watching and it takes way more passes and volleys to kill stuff.

Post your gear and build. Many, many people are doing just fine with this build.

I know it might not be the best gear but the stats on my tree and op's tree are really sim except for mine has more hp and his has a couple more in crit with daggers percentage. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

You are missing a bunch of crit on your daggers and spell power. You're not looking for crit chance on spells, you are looking for global crit chance and then spell dmg. Your daggers should have at least 80% crit chance (the base global for golden/platinum kris) and 50 spell dmg.


Take a look at the gear other people have posted as well as the OPs gear. Part of what makes this build successful is the 6L. You're trying to do it with a 5L, so you're going to lose a ton of dmg that way.

Your build is also missing a ton of key nodes and crit chance.

TBH, it's not wonder why you're having difficulty with your build, but your build isn't the build in this thread.

Ok, so my daggers need to be switched out for global crit and spell dmg. The reason i dont have some crit nodes for the daggers is because i got the health nodes... Im not playing domination im in nemesis so it does me no good to have 2.5k hp. Im thinkin about gettin a 6l but id lose so much res/hp also with that. Im trying to make this build work on nemesis.

You can check page 39 for my nemesis version of this build.

Ya i think your builds pretty nice. Thing is i didnt wanna use spec throw nor do i have the mana to be able to run that build. Id have to regret a lot of my tree. Nothing wrong with your build imo.

Anyone using Vaal Pact ?

Could Chain be useful with this build (by replacing one EK) ?

It could be very efficient to improve the AOE radius of this build and to prevent Physical Reflection by lowering the base damage of EK and then applying armor reduction multiple times.

It would less efficient on single targets but could be more efficient against ennemies groups.

vaal pack is very dangerous b\c of the low life this build have, u need a strong buffer to use vaal pact effectively else instant gib once u stop attacking

this build is more dangerous against thorns then reflect b\c EK isn't being magnified by spell dmg, u can migitate most of the reflect dmg with armour

I tried using vaal pact and it only almost killed me. In this build it is not worth it. Need those health flasks.

I'm not sure why people keep saying this is a low life build. When using Tabula, 3500-4000 life is very achievable. There are more life nodes within reach as well.
