2.3 Fakener (budget fake Mjölner) build - Trickster Version

Does anyone else feel like Poacher's mark is the best curse to use on blasphemy? It gives you mana gain on hit, life gain on hit(which goes to your life, vaal pact doesn't affect this).

Also having 3 frenzy charges for more damage and bigger discharges is better right? Elemental equilibrium gives them resist to cold, but the 3 frenzy charge discharge is still huge.

On top of that you get double flask charges for more uptime.

Can someone let me know the benefits of the other curses over this once your damage is high enough?

I never used purity of light, even for Atziri at lv 78 (with no volls)
My choice since lv 55 was Blasphemy with WARLORD MARKS (2%life leech + 2%mana leech), used only 2 elreon ring with. with this u get also Endurance charge to boost ur Discharge and helps on ur Cwdt setup. I just changed to Poachers after getting my Volls Devotion.

If u have problems with ur crit chance vs single target, get a Diamond flask.

Warlord is better because 2%LL (if u are CI is better than life on hit) and 2% mana leech. if u already have volls as i can see, poachers is the way, also u can go Assasin for rkting stuff way faster. But yeah im running Discharge, Arctic Armour and Poachers, leaving me 45 mana unreserved (using lv 2 enlighten) just enough to spam my 10 mana cyc.

By the way, fandabear1, why r u using cold to attack on ur ring when u have a fire to spell on ur dagger? ur Blade vortex AoE is bigger and hit more than ur cyc, making ur EE proc to fire Ress. You should get this asap :P

Will try Warlord's on blasphemy, cheers for that. Do you remember how much ES you had for Atziri?
I don't seem to have any trouble to crit on single targets, i just assume my lack of sustain comes from gem levels and spell damage for now.

By the way, what scales discharge damage? It seems like area damage doesn't affect the tooltip damage.

i did Atziri with 6500 ES, no vaal disc / purity of light (just dont get hit by dual flameblast, thunderrain)
The good thing about CI is that u can just run in the middle of the room and rape them.

And about Discharge damange, if u are talking about jewels, just go for Lighting/Spell damage and crit chance or multi.
Btw dont forget to use Energy from within jewel in the slot under Pain Attunement, with the full hp/ES wheel

Btw I want to ask from your tree I saw few of the nodes on the far most left you have 4 nodes taken but none of the nodes on the way taken, is that a mistake? Also if your forgot to tick the nodes on the way why did you take devotion which gives life only?


I'm currently using a witch build very similar to yours, I wanted to ask if the spell damage path up to the spell crit nodes from the witch starting node is worth it? Or should I ditch those nodes for other things?

P.S. Also is global crit or local crit better to craft onto the dagger?

No mistake in that node zone, i used "Intuitive Leap, Viridian Jewel" in the jewel socket (u can add any passive "unnconected" within the radius of the jewel.

"Devottion" also gives 20str (wich i needed for Increase Duration) and 3% increased buff effects (discipline, purities, arctic..)

About the spell nodes, the build already deals enough damage,i would consider taking the Flask nodes (Alchemist) first, since they are OP, and then maybe the jewel slot to use:

You can't craft GLOBAL critical chance, only multiplier, Local crit chance is the best, since u have to focus on getting crit with ur cyc as much as u can. Im at 93.72% crit chance with "Inc crit chance" in the 6L

O wow that's pretty cool jewel, I'm currently basically running into issue of low on crit, around lvl 68 right now and cyclone crit 44% or so and with 5 power charge around 64% or something. Right now thing low on crit is like one of my diamond ring is 20% global instead of 30% (coz those thing are expansive o.-) so idk how to get higher crit beside getting a 6L for increase crit (which has no money Q_Q)and my ES is around 5.1k with Discipline so it is safe to go CI yet?(got owned like by a chaos unique boss while lvling in docks, lost like 30% coz I was like damn it this is going to die o.-)

yeah as i said i think 5k ES is a good start point for CI, also u'll get an ES boost on those nodes after CI.

Try getting a high crit chance talis?

maybe a hexclaw with crit chance besides implicit.
And of course, a good dagger :P

So As much as i despise the cesspool that is standard i decided to try and pimp this build idea to the max and well the results... are astonishing.

the difference in gear to this build would that you need acuity + shavs + windscream boots.

the tree looks like this.


i mean shit im using gear ive had for years and its as pimp as you can get i guess so no its not a cheap build or something you can get in a weeks worth of farming.

but yeh if you too are just coming back from a long break and wanna try a build that cheeses its way through almost anything feel free to give that tree a crack.

dual curses are poachers and as mark.

gems are same cept PCoC instead of IC seems fine with number of power charges gen'd + you get 3 more frenzies to add to your discharge :) and its light+cold so if ur procing EE with fire its still all good.

That looks good but I'm currently using my current slot is getting me all the str/dex I need XD man time to have to try to find more stats guess need those nodes on the tree

Edit: Found 1 perfect one with ES as well and has the str/dex I need and it was gone lol XD Also this is my dagger not sure if can get anymore crit on this thing though coz on muti mod the rest is like spell damage and such

Wow, just got Vaal Pact. It made a LOT of difference, as now my ES basically never drops as long as I am attacking. Surprising, but I guess that's because I haven't used Vaal Pact for a while and before it was prior to the node buff.

Why is this posted under shadow? I see no shadow version.
