Does it matter if most of the DPS from my dagger is physical or elemental or does it all equal our on the end regardless of the type of damage on the dagger?

You want a pure phys dagger.

i have 3.5k life 600ES 2.2k armour 3.5k evasion 40block 10spell block unbuffed.[...] ur 5.4 life is pretty high, but u dont have a lot of evasion on ur gear and ur armour/block is reduced.

I was not talking about myself when I mentioned the 5.4k life, because I have more than that even though I am using a CI amulet. As I mentioned in my previous answer, a few hundred more EV on your gear does practically not matter at all, since we barely scale it in the first place.
Your 3.5k Hp is way too low and since it seems like you have already passed the levelling stage, the only reason for such a low life value can be divergences from the guide (regarding skilltree and/or items).

Edit: What is even more confusing to me than your low life values, is your energy shield pool of 600ES. The only thing what it will do is increasing your Bloodrage degen. You don't even have a reliable way to sustain your ES in the first place. This also means that you probably skipped Acrobatics, which is a core part of your defence.
You handicaped your build with this wierd hybrid strategy, while ignoring essential gear/skilltree choices and as a (obvious) result, your build is not functioning properly. Therefore I strongly recommend to completely drop the hybrid strategy and focusing on pushing your life as high as possible (which also means getting a Belly), while taking advantage of the defenvisely strong acrobatics nodes and the insane DPS boost of dual wielding.

i'm curious how u survive tougher hits as melee. Regular mobs with +dmg or vulner mods hit hard as well.

I barely get hit since the AoE of reave is incredible large.

Hey. What dagger can I afford for 10 exalted orbs?

poe.trade is your best friend

Hi I was wondering if it would be possible to do the build without acrobatics or phase acrobatics since personally I don't like going acro on melee characters

What is your mana regenaration rate? Because when I use HoA and Hatred I have to nom nom mana flasks like crazy.

Edit: Fixed, screwed up a passive tree a little, whoopsie.

Acrobatics gives you 40% dodge + 30% spell dodge for only 5 points, which makes it the most point efficient defence in the game. There are no nodes in the whole passive tree that would provide us comparable survivability with a similar point investment.

We sustain our mana costs via leech and not with regen.

i want to ask is it possible to use soul taker? because im running with soul taker and using 3 aura now.
with HOA HOI with COH and Hatred.
I want to hear your opinion.
my armor is Coil Lightning
and use head abysus.
Thank you

Your setup seems fine, but I recommend replacing abyssus with rat's nest if you want to safely level up.

Soul Taker is a decent offhand choice. It enables you to run the CurseOnHit-Assassin's Mark setup which basically gives you a 7 link. Triggering CoH is more reliable with HoT and the damage increase from shock is a nice bonus aswell, making it much more superior compared to HoI.

The damage increase from Abyssus is so insane that you will oneshot yourself to reflect.
I would just use a normal rare helmet, you can keep the Coil (instead of a Belly) if you feel like you need the phys mitigation.

So if i drop HoI and use HoT my dps will be boost?

but sir,if i drop abysus it will be drop so much damage. is that okay? i mean this build i mean to make damage isnt it? and do you think lightning coil reduce 30% is worth to keep instead change it with Belly? since i already bought it with expensive price :(

And my last question do you think we can run atziri? and would you like to upload you running atziri?

Thank you

Can a noob get a leveling guide through the skill tree? ;_;
