As for Atziri, I haven't tried her on this character, only a RF/Mjolner build I have on Ambush. "missuse" has done the boss a lot, and theres quite a lot of discussion about the fight on the past few pages.

Vaal is no problem, Saffell's Frame helps but honestly isn't even needed as long as you have good character control.
Atziri is manageable if you have PoLight and PoFire, and some spell block. The fight is pretty scripted so if you've fought her a few times then it's not hard.
The 3 bosses are the hard part, I cant comment much on this part because I haven't tested it on this guy (don't play PoE much currently). But you need goot End Cry + Immortal Call usage. I think "missuse" also uses a Lightning Coil, but they did it without that chest + IR.

So yeah, Atziri is fine with this build as long as you come prepared and understand each fight.

yea, when you learn atziri, she is doable with just 75 res and no spell block (if your cpu can handle it). But in case you experience lag/desync when fighting palace Dominus for instance, than better come prepared.
The trio bosses are quite doable too, with worse gear , in any spec (IR, coil or acro) when you learn them. For instance the RoA rain (vaal RoA the ranged one casts) can hit you even if the animation is not playing (there's even a funny vid somewhere on the forum where a guy did the bosses, killed atziri, went back to trio bosses room and got killed by invisible roa rain). So yea, experience means everything in those fights, and as always with PoE the fights would not be as hard, if the game would not freeze/lag/teleport you/deal no dmg than burst dmg and so on...

I started playing a different build in preparation for uber atziri, so I probably wont be as active in this thread, but I am often in game so if anyone wants, they can ask me questions.

Finally got around to fighting Atziri on this guy.
This was my first run on the character.
Had a couple of sketchy moments, I forgot I had Immortal Call during the 3 boss fights until like half way through, and I wasn't paying attention to the bleed. But it's not too hard if you pay attention.

Used a 5L Lightning Coil instead of my 6L rare chest.

Using Bino's you'll want Adder's Touch, I'd probably do the passive tree like so:

Get EB until 85ish when your mana pool is large enough and you can leech off mana no problem.

Hi Oos,

Sorry it took me so long to reply and thank you so much for the info. I ended up doing your reave build but I'm thinking of changing over to ST. Is there any reason you didn't grab the acrobatics node on your example tree? Since you go right by it I would think it's worth grabbing. Also are all the aura nodes just so you have enough to sustain the high cost of ST?

Thanks!

No Acrobatics because I was EB until high level, but i guess one you have enough mana/leech then you can unspec EB and get Acro.

Ye the aura nodes are so you have a larger free mana pool to cast a lot of ST, because the leech is delayed. and also because I ran (low lvl) Clarity, PoLight and Hatred.

All of yo0ur gear should work just fine if you decide to respec, just gotta level some gems. gl

Update:

Hi Oos. currently I'm level 83 with your build and I'm very much enjoying it.

However, my DPS seems a lot lower than the stats you have presented with a mirrored dagger.
Here's my gear: 46k DPS Reave with Hatred + 5 Power charges

And here's my passive tree so far

I'm searching for a head peace that will give me enough resistances to replace the ruby ring with with a diamond ring that has some flat phys or attack speed. And maybe a new amulet that offers some nice crit chance/multi.
I am also aware that I am missing around 10 dagger passives, as well as a few block nodes.
What gear improvement would you suggest that will result in significant dps boost?

Thanks again

Ok, that's what I thought might be the case.

I gave it a try and while it wasn't terribly bad the damage was pretty sad compared to reave. I don't think Bino's is really that good of a choice for ST, especially since the regen is much lower due to the damage being split on each projectile.

So I've gone back to reave for now. Thanks for your help. It's really cool that you're still on the thread helping us out despite not playing the build anymore. Not a lot of people are that generous with their time.

Thanks again!

Hmm interesting. Well I think the main thing is you lack all the crit multi I have on gear (neck+maligaros) and also Adder's Touch. A lot my my dps is from high crit+multi.

Your gear is really nice but I'd suggest replacing your jewelry, flat phys rolls are huge because they scale with the dagger nodes on tree. So the rolls will more than double their effectiveness.

Ideal necklace:
phys
crit chance
crit multi
hp
leech

Ideal rings:
phys
life
res
leech

Rings are a great slot for resists but can be hard to find a good one with phys roll. Pretty much the phys roll is the most important thing for jewelry, then crit multi for necklace.
Don't worry about attack speed on rings because you have such a fast dagger anyway.

Then as you level get Adder's Touch, very strong node. You should have equal or more dps than me with those upgrades. The Ambusher is better than my Plat Kris for Reave.

Yeah, no problem!

Thanks a bunch! Will try and optimize my gear according to your suggestiion. Will update.

Another question!

What if I were to invest in a shield with around 2k Evasion
Do you think the bonus chance to evade from such a shield will provide overall higher damage mitigation than the 40% block crest of perandus?

Yeah that's up to you, you can get some really crazy 1.5-2k evasion shields with life + res. If it's on a high block base 32%+ then it could be worth it.
