Hey guys,

Im planning on playing a Dagger Reaver at some point of the new league, but with a minor change:

using Volls Protector as a chest + getting 5 power charges + BM gem instead of Added Fire..

Although the sheet dps might be lower , the crits will be more consistent + i wont have to worry about mana issues.

Using Hatred + Grace and no tempest shield (because i dont want to pick aura nodes in the tree, even though i only need 3% reduction with lvl 20 reduced mana to run all three)

The tree should look something like this:

Copy it into the 1.2 offline calc or use poebuilder.com

What do you guys think about it?

no conversion trap and blind reduced from 75% to 50% are really big nerfs to existing pvp counters to this build.

I actually made the experience that this build isn't really that good in PvP. Therefore I always switch Flicker to my 6L and replace FA with Block%Reduction for PvP.

Reave was quite mana friendly before, and I assume it will be more so with the patch.
I have no investment in mana what so ever now and sustain it quite easy just with leech - 50% recovery maps are a prob but 1 mana flask solves it. I think a BM gem is simple waste of DPS for no real reason.
2nd, If you were to put PCoC instead of BM u could get the effect of Volls chest and use a a much better chest like lighning coil or belly of the beast (it will be a lot stronger now with more base life and less % lfe on tree) or even some rare pure eva chest. Vols just does not cut it later on. Furthermore with a better chest there will be no reason to use grace freeing mana for tempest and for use with attacks.
Now if you are speaking strictly for leveling in a new league, then your setup is ok up to end of merc, where I would try to do some of the stuff I suggested in the rows above.

any news as to the 120% base critical multiplier on the taiwan servers?
is this a stealth nerf or is it not going in the patch?

No-one in the office has any idea what you're talking about here, including the guy currently playing on the Taiwan server who has 150% base crit multiplier, as all our files indicate he should have.
I can find no evidence of this ever having been changed, for Taiwan or otherwise. What gave you the impression this was different there?

I think the crit multi nerf was a rumor:

Thanks, that`s great to hear! Never done a crit build before so wasn`t sure I had everything I needed. Totally agree about the amu, but looks like it`s going to cost a foot and an arm :)

About the manaleech, is the 2% from the tree sufficient?

Also, have you tried Atziri with this build? I imagine it should be very doable.

I would get an eva chest with life, I would replace maligaros with some life attack speed gloves. BM is not needed, 2% mana leech is sufficient. Replace BM with crit dmg. I prefer using crit strikes instead of added fire.

Atziri is quite doable with your gear.
