[2.2] Guide for Life based Crit Dagger Reave

What's the main benefit of using death's hand over say an offhand like this?

My tooltip dps ends up being lower(with death's hand) with all the buffs taken into account. Is there any side benefit to it? Sorry if my question is dumb.

hi guys me again ;), is it legal to use autoflask with autohotkey? reave is really stressful with Flask drink (Atziris Promise, Granit and Life Flask) and use reave vaal and vaal haste, is really hard to concentrate fight and drink Flask etc.

Using a "stat stick" is always superior to dual wielding daggers. I explained the reason for DH tooltip being lower in the section "Ingame Stats" > "DW DPS".

What exactly do you consider as "autoflask"? If you configure a key that upon activation uses all of your flasks at once it is perfectly fine. Bannable would only be a programm that automatically activates your potion on its own.
At higher gear levels you can also be lazy and not use any flasks at all, since the added DPS is not very meaningful anymore and you instantly leech to full life + mana.

Hi candoerfer why u use with your VP skilltree only 0,4% life leech? i tested VP and 0,4% life leech, but it makes no sense the leech is to low, but with Vitality void you comes on 2,4% life leech and it is really great and strong.

i also got a leech question to add:

Mind drinker is only for the mana leech or do we need the extra mana from the 2 point investment? There is a small 0.4 mana leech node near spirit and vitality void. It is also different from mind drinker as it states attack damage leeched as opposed to "only" physical attack damage leeched.

Edit: also have a 5-link belly, gonna drop added fire in favour of pcoc as i do not want to rely on stun power charge generation which will probably not happen at bosses or in a party

We have 0,4% from LifeDrinker + 0,4% from Amulet + 1,2% from BloodRage = total of 2% which is easily sufficient.

You can test how the leech notes in the Ranger area work out for you, however I would imagine that your unreserved mana pool will be too low to sustain WB over long distances.

Stun threshold is not affected by the party hp multiplier.

Nice Build, I love playing it.
One question though, I have 2 Binos, would DW them help me our hurt me?
I can figure it out my self.

Dual wielding two daggers is always worse than using a dagger + a "stat stick" (DH, Relentless Fury, etc.)

What's your opinion on using Shadows and Dust in place of Maligaro's for this build? They seem like they could synergise well with the clear speed of the build and would allow for Relentless Fury to be used as an offhand, so you gain both the onslaught and unholy might buffs.

You really want gloves with a life mod to make up for the lack of life nodes on the right side of the skilltree.
