I am also enjoying this build, despite some problems getting started (I had to take a detour and grab the +30 int/str nodes at start, for example).
I am playing in Beyond and using my own version of the Drunken Berserker (max block). I fit even more block into my tree, damages nodes will come last I guess.
No VP, I have a 119% Bloodseeker. And I got a nice 276pDps offhand claw to match :)
On Auras I am really thinking about using an Alpha's Howl. Its high EV rating, freeze immunity and reduced mana may come in very very handy. After all, you can't leech if you are frozen ;(
I suck at math, so... does anyone know if it would be possible to run Grace - Hatred - Herald of Ash with a high level reduced mana gem and the alpha's? Low level clarity would run off BM, if it's needed. That would be awesome!
Otherwise just run Grace - Herald of Ash - Herald of Ice - Clarity off mana, I guess. In a party, somebody usually runs hatred anyway.
Yeah, experiment with my build and if it doesn't work just go back to what I do because my version def works :)
All of the gear here is armour or ES based, but this build is an evasion build. Acrobatics itself halves all armour and energy shield you do have. Really should invest into some evasion gear to improve defense.
At your stats you have 308-762 main hand cold damage. Where does this damage come from? You have some cold damage on your gear, but not that much, and lvl20 herald of ice only gives 53-70.
Hey guys, i'm playing a lvl 40 shadow and have been following this build. Is it normal to only have 1.276,6 DPS with dual strike (10) + multistrike (7) + melee physical damage (5) + melee splash (7), using 2 claws that have 35-93 physical damage each?
