anybody know what curse dominion uses?
So... can someone answer straightforward if this build is viable in Onslaught? Did the original poster change his build/strategy up at all?

Updates would be awesome...
yes the build is viable in oslaught but the build on this topic is old, we don't know if he update it or no, he now use in onslaught a shadow and at 67 he have this build: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYAAv4EBwx9DkgQfxEvEZYR2xXnFkAWvx8CJ6kpTyynLR8y0TN2NsU62DvhQsNDY0VHRtdMs03YUDBY9VnzWitdxl3yXvpfKmBtY0Nmnm0ZcFJw1XFNc7N713_GgpuFfYhrjDaMdo5kj_qZmprPnaOdxKKjo_KnCKcrpzS1BLb3tvq3MbiTwBrAUcHzw23GntVP2CTa3dte3fPed9-E4vfjhOQi6-TsGOw48Gvz6vem_Ks=

i think the cold point at start must be refundend if is possible

Is he going to stick to a low life build? Does he have a Shavronnes already?

Just lost my lvl 70 witch sporker stupidly, so I'm looking for shadow sporker.

I can only speak for myself, but so far this build is working fine for me on Onslaught. I'm lvl 76 by now and play quite defensive to minimize sync issues. Desync or server side position correction can be your worst enemy in my opinion. Take care when aiming at enemies inside a room when you stand outside - happens a lot to me that i get "teleported" into that room. Just set your totems and minions at the entrance when much enemies are there to minimze the occurance of this problem. I also use a mouse macro for the /oos command - I heavily recommend that!

Using Skeletons, Spectre and Conversion Trap as a meat wall helps a lot. Just keep running around and stay behind your totems/minions cause some enemies just seem to pop off on screen due to the increased speeds. I don't use any Power Charges abilities yet.

With the latest 0.11 patch the ES passives got nerfed. So you will end up with less ES. Together with low Armour, if you go for ES only items, it makes you quite vulnarable to physical damage. So i recommend playing defensive if you encounter difficult enemies. The 3 Inner Force passives got nerfed too. I don't use them since the patch. You should decide if the extra ES with Discipline is worth it to you. Elemental Adaption got nerfed too - from 5% to 2%. I still use it though. Right now I have 80% ele resistances and it feels solid. I think cause of the Inner Force nerf you can't get an extra percent from Purity now. Another reason not to go for Inner Force now.

All in all the gameplay feels quite fluent. I'm not yet into Crit so kill speed is not that high but you have the advantage of using your totems/minions as a shield. So it's quite safe to play when you know your enemies skills. Enemies for example that use Leap Slam are sure dangerous if you face them - like Blacksmith. Just spam your totems and minions at them and stay out of direct sight - makes it quite easy. Like I wrote before, sync issues and server side corrections are sometimes unpredictable and may cause a death if you are unprepared. Progressing slowly does minimize these issues for me and always have your totems and maximum possible minions around ;)

Would you mind posting your passive tree?
Around how much DPS should one have at level 60? Is there a certain amount of ES to have on each piece of gear before switching to CI?
Clarity need to max? or lvl 1

Here's my Passive Tree for LvL77:

I didn't follow Fireknight's progression to 100% but the main idea is covered by this build. As you can see i didn't go for a second curse for example. If i ever find a Shavronnes Unique I intend to go for low life/righteous fire to gain much more spell damage.

I recommend to max it. I run 3 auras - clarity, discipline and purity - linked to a reduced mana gem and got no mana problems.
