Hello everyone!

With this gear+build I'm having no problems at all, clearing 73-78 maps (Solo or with full party doesn't matter really..). We even managed to 2-man Piety from Shrine Map (Level 77 Map) in a full group (4-man watching us kill it).

I hoped this answered few players on how powerful this build really is.

Kind regards,
Dredlert

any reason your ice spear is only at lvl 1, and GMP only at level 1 also?

why not have ice spear up to required level that still works with Cwdt, and GMP maxed lvl 20?

also, you seem to only run with 2 auras

is 2 auras enough to solo high level maps 74+ etc?

ok example i am new to his build and i cant afford the gems/links yet . right now i have a 4L which i have ST-hp leech-lmp - bm . so my damage output is low atm , should i lvl st first while i get better then i swap out ?

Idk, after playing this game for a long time, I find that I just level how I want to (using whatever spells/links), and then start to get serious about build specificity once I am high enough level to wear a 5 link.

when i turn on hatred + grace i have 26 mp left. how can i even last without blood magic? if i am using ST with 5 links

Dunno if this has been asked yet, but what about switching from cyclone to whirling blades to avoid desync?

Cyclone has a greater chance to crit.

Any movement based skill will desync.

Hi, leveling with this build and loving it so far.

I have a question : The passive node (from the shadows), does the it work with ethereal knives? (18% increase physical damage with daggers). Is it 18% on all your physical damage or just from daggers? Thank you

Option 1: Put a blood magic gem in your 5 link somewhere

Option 2: only use one aura for now (either hatred or grace) until you are higher level

Does this even apply to all the reflect packs? Those were listed as a problem in the original post which I imagine is less of a problem for dagger/shield.

With a proper double dagger, what should I actually be worried about in terms of getting killed outside of desync?

Tbh I usually barely notice reflect packs, on maps with reflect as a mod I've been more careful but it's mostly because my health is not as high as it will be when I've leveled my Scion version. You definately want to keep life leech equipped at least on maps and then get used to remembering the looks of the auras. Since Cast on Dmg taken was nerfed you can as a precaution use a 4L with spectral throw and thin the herds with one or two throws if you are worried about standing in the middle of a big reflect pile.

It depends on your health pool and how much damage you take whilst in mob packs.

Would the Crit Multi from Abyssus apply to the EK crits?
Tempted to give this build a try.
