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

I am lvl64 and I do have quite shitty gear. But I can solo all non boss areas and farm solo If I want

This build biggest weakness are insane mana costs and without mana you are sitting duck

On the plus side you have 2k DPS with LS
a few tips for people not so well geared :
- use only anger and wrath - hatred/haste are way too expensive
- link LS with WED and Faster attacks ASAP - that is very big dmg boost
- use warlords curse
- its probably good to pick up dps dagger nodes by mid merciless act2 , if you dont have godlike gear you cant tank anything so best defence is good offence
- panic flask+granite is very much a lifesaver. literally
- whirling blade is how u kite

RIP At level 53 to a client crash, really dont know if i wanna stay default, reroll this build or maybe reroll an EK build or something

At level 20 the survivability is so incredibly bad, really really bad.. at what level can i start holding my own without gulping down pots at all times?

I am currently lvl 49 and haven't had one issue with survivability yet. Make sure early on you are taking pure armor for almost every slot. And make sure to get defensive nodes over most of the dps nodes.

Later on you will want a good mix of armor/es gear but early on survivability you are looking for resistances/armor/life. Using a claw for life leech also isn't a bad idea.

My current build: https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYADkgRlha_Gdcc3B4aJDwmlSepKCopLjBUPC09PkGHRnFJUUz_VUtabWHiZ5tte3BSfll_xoLHh9uIa4w2kyeVIJf-mVebap2jpn-nNKdcr2yxs7QMtUi3PrndwFHBxcau1I_jhO1B7w7yL_Pq_Kv_kw==

As you see I just take some Crit nodes, and one-hand damage nodes. I do not go for any dagger only nodes and make my way down to the Mara/Temp area rather quickly.

This build is a lot of fun. Didn't have much problem in normal, but as soon as I hit cruel my survivibility plummeted. Especially once I got to the fetid pool. Those rhoas hit HARD. Probably due to bad gear. I've upgraded a bit, and it's still rough going, but I'm not dying as much, though I still have to keep on my toes.

Hey Invalesco,
I noticed on your CI video that you have about 70% piercing on your LS
How do you achieve this without a pierce gem connected to your LS?

what's a good DPS standard for level 47?

I'm at a horrid 312dps total with 800 on double strike and 400 on LS

Quality on LS gem confers pierce chance.

How expensive is a 10% LS?

About 2 GCP generally speaking. I have a 9% I'm looking to sell but only if I can get a 14%+ at about the same time.

Guys what about Inner Force because we are running so much auras?

I've been thinking about leaving some hp nodes out to pick up inner force at the end of the build. Think it's certainly viable and worth a shot on default, not sure bout HC.
