Sorry if this has been answered already, but does crit chance with daggers (like in adders touch cluster) affect spells and attacks not locally linked on the dagger?

I assumed it did but just tested it and increased crit chance with daggers doesnt affect spell crit chance. It does affect attacks not locally linked on the dagger though, as long as you're using the dagger in the attack.

What's a good amount of life to have when you are about level 60? I'm level 64 and have 2400 life. Thanks

Have you considered the Ballistic Mastery node earlier? It's only 2 points away on your 80 build, and significantly increases the range of both your spectral throw and your freeze pulse, allowing you to keep a safer distance from mobs and have increased AoE. I think it's worth the investment of points at an earlier level for the amount of utility it provides.

Why do you use a granite flask instead of a jade flask since you take acro?

Only level 38 so far, and I am finding this build to be very awesome to play! Critting a large group and sending out more Freezing Pulses than I can count is immensely satisfying.

Im a 40lvl shadow with this build and im thinking what defense should i use. I have a tabula rasa so i think evasion isnt worth it because my evasion rating would be so bad. Armor is kinda the same deal. CI would maybe work but chest piece gives around 20% of the ES so what defense should i get? Great Build btw. I just bought Berek's Grip and its awesome. No more mana problems. Thanks!

Why do u have a passive skill to max frenzy charge when u dont use frenzy charges? And btw can u do a video on how things work cos i am trying ur build and i have big issue with mana.

Sorry, but this is a pretty bad guide IMO, and here's why...

Increasing your crit multiplier with a gem is not nearly as effective as sending out twice as many pulses. Drop the crit damage support and add another freezing pulse.

PCoC is a terrible support to have linked to your main skill. You can link it to something else to build/maintain charges, and guess what? Add another freezing pulse gem.

I just like, more than doubled your dps.

I'm doing something similar here.

In an earlier post by the OP, he said he has the frenzy charges, but he doesn't use them yet. He is going to end up using Blood Rage when it is safe to use,

On his gear section he has the Berek's Grip ring. That gives 5% mana leech against frozen enemies, and a lot of mobs will freeze when you crit.

i know but what to do until u get that Berek's grip ring. How to solve mana problems when u dont have enough chaos orbs to buy it :S
