" Brayzz wrote: Thx, well I wasn't using that dagger for LS only for FZ. I was using this I know it has low physical dmg Hatred+Haste+Wrath I get only 700 DPS with it and it is unplayabe it kills nothing. LS gems are LMP+Pierce+Critical chance. How much DPS are you doing with LS? I'm currently at somewhere around 6 to 7k LS dmg I think, should check in game.

I have a question. Why don't people level gems in general, i know some gems have physical conversion. But like the auras and curses only get better right? Or am I missing something.	Posted by Rgrandx on Feb 10, 2013, 4:34:35 PM Quote this Post

Whirling Blades for example has only 1 use and that is escape, so you can perfectly keep that at lvl1 for the lower mana cost. Lightning strike's mana cost rises at lvl10, making it not usable if you can't sustain the rising mana cost. Curses, I can't really generalize. The mana cost goes up while the debuff of the curse doesn't always change too much. Depends from curse to curse though.

Hello fellow shadow players! I've been following this guide and lurking this thread for quite some time. Anyway I got a question regarding the guide, if anyone could help I'd be grateful. " Blood Rage With the regen from the regen nodes that I've picked as well as from Vitality, you will get around 4.3% total life regen per sec which after deduction from Blood Rage, will still give you a net amount of +5% life regen per sec. Can someone explain to me this ? Blood rage costs 3.8%, maybe Invalesco meant +0.5% ? I'm just finished grinding a3 cruel and I'm about to rush a3 quests and get into merciless. My biggest concern is chaos resistance. -60% is A LOT and you really need as much Chaos Res as possible since it amplifies Blood Rage's dot if it's negative or reduces it if it's positive. I'm playing default league btw. 2 thoughts have been in my mind regarding the passive skill tree: 1) Getting the +16 Chaos Res below Eldritch battery for 2 points. 2) Level 57, haven't spent a single point on dagger so I'd be flexible with my weapon. Now it's time that I do though. There are 3 "dagger nodes" that cost 4 points each: "Flaying" node (below Eldritch Battery). Focuses on crit multiplier. With 4 points you get: 34% Dagger Physical Damage and 20% Critical Multiplier. "Nightstalker" node (below Eldritch Battery). Focuses on Crit Chance. For 4 points: 28% Dagger Physical Damage and 75% Critical Chance. "From the Shadows" node (halfway from start to Eldritch Batter). For 4 points: 24% Dagger Physical Damage, 25% Crit chance, 2% Attack Speed, +20 Accuracy, +20 Dex. Invalesco in his guide jumps from none of the three to having 1st and 3rd by level 60. Later, between levels 72-85 he gets the 2nd node plus a 4th node "Adder's Touch" which is straight right of the starting Shadow point and needs 10 points and gives many things like frenzy charge, poison dot on crits and more. Anyway, I'm between the first three and I'm confused as to in what order to get them. In my mind the nightstalker node is the best of the three since crit chance > crit multiplier > Accuracy. What are your opinions on these two issues ? Also, are there specific changes you'd recommend on playing on default ?	Posted by eladir on Feb 11, 2013, 3:15:44 AM Quote this Post

I usually weigh the nodes I pick based on how quickly it would be to get them. Because nightstalker requires a int attribute before I can pick it i went for the others instead.
