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

Little update, been running docks on mercy + the occasional map with little to no trouble. This is with a mediocre (well actually blatantly bad) dagger and without good links on certain parts of me gear.
Having max resists, 39% chaos resist, about 3K life and 2k armor (3k at lvl69). Using Wrath, Anger, Hatred and Haste (missing 1 reduced mana gem and a socket on my boots to use Determination).

My dps is somewhat low but that will increase when I get my sockets and links correct. Having aprox 3.2k flicker strike damage, 2.4k double strike and 2.2k LS.

Current links are: LS-Pierce-WED-LMP (lacking a green socket for faster attacks but will take care of that soon)
Double Strike-Faster Attacks-Item Rarity (changing this in 1 lvl)
Flicker Strike-increased crit damage (also changes next lvl)
Reduced Mana - Hatred - Haste

Gear:



Helm will become



once I hit lvl 69.

I have no critical mana issues as long as I have flasks and refill them with warlord's mark and crits. Having about 100-200 mana left after aura's (depends if I run 3 or 4).
Using Blood Rage without Vitality aura and still regenerating a good amount with it being turned on.

Passive Tree: Passive skill tree build

I left out some HP nodes because I frankly don't need them atm, going into some dps nodes now and maybe to Inner Force.

Conclusion: The build is not bad at all.

Looking at your gear its absolutely amazing. Is this what it takes for this build to work? Because this being my first build I am sitting lvl 54 in merc act1 , cant progress beyond tidal island


Have no mana to run more than 2 least expensive auras(wrath/anger) . 400 armor and ~1000 evasion with 1.4k HP . My dps on LS is 750 and dual strike is 850. Blood rage cant be ran without killing myself

I was in the same spot at that level. If you don't have the currency to either craft or trade for better gear, try joining groups, get some progress and farm the ledge.

I probably farmed like 7 - 8 lvls in Ledge (mostly solo, hard at first but got easier), pick 2 Topaz rings (+lightning res) and try and get max lightning res. It's an easy area with slow moving mobs. If you don't have it, get your hands on spell totem + skeleton, it's practically your bread and butter at that stage. Gives you breating room to cast LS free on those slow as fuck skeletons and zombies.

Don't use blood rage, I only started running it since lvl 66 or so. I only ran 1 aura until act 3 mercy, think it was hatred back then.

Try and get some trade deals and persist.

And I just lost my chestplate, randomly disappeared after being disconnected. Huzzaaah -_-

Hey guys, so I just hit Act 3 Merciless and I'm getting my ass handed to me, please help me make this build work :(

Build so far: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYADkgRLxGWFr8Z1xzcHhokPCaVJ6koKjBUPC09PkGHRnFJUUz_VUtabWHiZ5tte3BSf8aCx4fbiGuMNpMnlSCX_plXm2qmf6dcr2yxs7QMtUi297c-ud3AUcWKxq7Uj-OE52PtQe8O8B_yL_JF8-r-Cv-TtPk=

(Level 49, by the way)

I sure hope you mean act 3 cruel.

You should look for a better dagger and more armor (or armor/es) gear with + life and + resists. Try and get max resists across the board and get more HP combined with a better dagger and you'll have a decent time.

I've gotten 37 with this build and died (hailrake, didn't even pay attention when mindlessly killing mobs.) and now I'm level 30 again.

I'm curious, i haven't seen the "blood rage" ability yet, its a gem right? and it basically saps your health for increased damage?

Is that why so many health and health % nodes are taken? I went from playing witch where health was still important but its crazy looking at this build and seeing how many health nodes there are and how many things get passed up. I'm no expert at this game though, the highest level I've gotten to in hardcore was only 55 as a witch.

Also what attacks do I really want to be using? I haven't even tried frenzy, elemental hit but i have them.

On the level 37 I had I went with
lighting strike>increased crits>life on hit
viper strike (single target)>increased accuracy>faster attacks
skeletons
bear trap>increased crits

It worked out well but I was curious if I should be using elemental hit instead of viper strike, or double strike? Not sure which is better.. I have a elemental hit in my HC stash.

What about item stat priority?

Vitality is necessary with only 9% chaos resistance, bummer.

I really love this build its so OP and I have no problems anymore ... my gear is kind of shitty aswell but if I can do it you can too.
