[ 2.0 ] Vaal Pact Dual Claw Build Level 92 ( Atziri Viable + BOTW S: 2 EP: 9 )
" Again I wouldn't recommend because you can easily get a lot of life leech from claw anyway and being a dodge/Evasion build you will need a lot of hp for the times that the attacks gets though hence the 25% reduction in hp isn't worth it. |

Hi,
I have been playing a now level 87 dual strike Vaal Pact claw shadow for quite a while. It has been a lot of fun and gameplay is always a roller coaster with life racing up and down. For a long time I just ran Piety (which was easy) then added some Dominus (which is a bit hairier) and have finally progressed to doing maps up to level 70 so far. My shadow has 45K DPS (not using melee splash at this stage) but only 4.1K life. I am worried as I progress to higher level maps and tougher bosses this is not going to be sufficient. I am planning to restructure my tree to get more life as well as picking up the dodge and spell dodge nodes past acrobatics (something I should have done long ago). I figure I can free up about 17 skill points from damage nodes to reassign. I was hoping someone could look over my tree and I would welcome any suggestions before I start moving points around. http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYAA4cFtQyNDUkPqxPAFHUVIBc-GbQbrR4aIQMj9iaVKCoqOCpNLOkwVDB8MXsxnjIJNZI4ljrtPWU_J0BVR35KfUrITeNRR1VLVvpaSF85YeJjcGVNZfFnoGqTapVsRm17bmluqm9XcHJybHRBd9d5SH8rhNmHdofbiPGKOIw2jb-QCpKAlWaZK5lXozqmV6Z_qW6qf6q4rs-xs7TFtUi18rcXu3y9gb6nwA_KkMrT0k3TftQj1e3Wit0N3ePe9ud06NbrFOuO7UHuDu967-Pv8PzF_o__k1s9 Thanks for any help you can provide. |

Nearing the end of act 3 now, over 1k dps and loving it. have a tabula, and working on making a 6l carcass. My only question at this point is what level are we capping clarity at? I'm assuming everything else will be maxed, but with a level 7 clarity at level 32, its reserving far too much mana >_<

" Interesting non crtic version of mine.. I say 'of mine' but your passive tree is very very different this is what I'll do with yours if I had your build.. Generally took out all the faster attack nodes because that doesn't help with the amount you leech each hit and other less effective damage nodes for more evasion and hp.. http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYAA4cFtQyNDUkPqxR1FSAZtButHhohAyP2JpUoKio4Kk0s6TBUMHEwfDGeMgE1kjiWOkI67T1lPydAVUd-Sn1KyEt4TeNRR1VLVvpaSFs9YeJjcGVNZfFnoGqTbBZte25pbqpvV3BydEF313lIfyuD24TZh3aH24jxjDaNfY2_kAqSgJVmmVebJqZXpn-pbqp_qrisR7Gzshm0xbVItfK3F7t8vqfAD8aiytPOcc960k3TftQj1e3Wit0N3aje9ud06NbrFOss7UHuDu967-Pv8PxL_MX-j_-T |

" level 5 or 6 should be fine at your stage.. best to get mana leech from uniques and the tree rather than clarity and glad that you are liking my build :) |

" Thanks for that, I appreciate the time. Is dropping IAS really not going to hurt that much? What would you think about dropping the 4 increased physical damage nodes on the right hand side (50% ed total) but picking up the blinding node (12%IAS) near the shadow start. That would mean I could also drop the 4% movement speed node. With the five nodes (50% physical damage total + 4% movement speed currently) I could get 37% physical damage, 12% IAS and 2% block. Does that seem more efficient use of the points? Additionally from memory I took the extra reward point with the bandits in each difficulty (hard to remember given this was the first character I ever made). Would I be better respeccing out of them as Oaks normal an d cruel rewards look tempting. Once again thanks. I appreciate your thoughts. |

" I don't think it really matters too much as long as you get your hp, lol What I would do is try it out the way you want it and then do little experiments and twreaks for maximum efficiency. Just wondering do you use hatred .. I am assuming without crit nodes you barely freeze anyone |
|
" Thanks. I don't have a lot of currency so hoping not to have to throw any more regrets at it than I need to! Yes, I do use hatred but no I don't freeze much! I've mainly been using it for the DPS boost. Currently I run hatred plus purity of elements. I would love to be able to run both purity of fire and lightning at once but my mana doesn't stretch that far unfortunately. I could try and get Alphas howl which might let me do it but worried about losing 90+ base life from my helm. |

Hi! Your build is very amazing, I enjoy it a lot.
I just have one question- why did you get iron reflexes? it's not mentioned anywhere? It's in leveling guide 80-100 |

I use BOR, bloodseeker and essentia sanguis claws, rainbow boots, doryanis invitation physical damage belt, slitherpinch gauntlets (didn;t know how to link my items to forum :P). I use dual strike with life gain on hit melee physical damage and multistrike and whirling blades to escape difficult situations. Any advices for improvement?
