[0.11.0] Eldritch Battery/Armour Crit Dagger Shadow (Based off the CI Crit Dagger Shadow concept)

Does point blank support affect lightning strike? If yes, is it worth to support with it before i can get all needed supports?

With regards to the auras, you should keep leveling your auras but there's no point in having any other aura other than wrath OR hatred (not both!) on in the early stages.

Thanks a lot again :)
What about late game tho? How can we keep all the auras you listed on?

Yw :) In late game, it's all about having a high enough mana pool (which is where EB comes in) to support the auras and using mana leech from mind drinker and warlord's mark to sustain the mana costs of your skills. Come late game you won't even need to use mana flasks much anymore.

Am lvl 29 at the moment, just finished act 2 on normal, Vaal was a big step up in difficulty for my part, up until that point i didn't have any problems with survivability, but am starting to notice some now, my hp tends to drop kinda fast, got 630hp as of right now.

Anyway, am wondering should i focus on gear with evasion or armor?


Edit: Also the auras, was using both Wrath and Hatred until i read your post about not using both at this stage :P But these auras doesn't add any damage to Freezing Pulse? Tooltip doesn't show any changes at least...

Why not take iron grip ?

I am having major mana issues, if I take Mind Drinker at 31, how bad would it hurt me in later difficulties?

If you follow his build you mana issues go away after lvl 37 real talk
cause you will be picking up a ton of int modes on - so just have a few mana stats and
you should be ok

I had tons of mana issues but now I am lvl 40 and I spam lightning strike with hatred aura and I never run out of mana

Currently trying out on this build with exact copy of the passives and currently @ lvl 39 HC
Had no closed beta experience whatsoever other than wiping 3 lvl 20+ HC Shadow and 2 30+ HC Templar/Shadow before reaching the point that i am right now. Great job writing this guide !
Cheers.

Any particular reason to why you get EB so late into the build?

I would guess that you dont get the energy shield that you need until late in the game
unless you go out of you way to stack energy shield early but you are better off getting other defensive stats at that point in the game imo
