Shadow - 2.3 Fakener (budget fake Mjölner) build - Trickster Version - Forum

If I were to level though it looks like crit dagger reave would be best. Grab a mightflay at mid 30s, don't forget to level your CoC gems alongside and pick up some of the melee passives around shadow too if you'd like. You can refund them later. How about molten strike for leveling up? Then i won't need melee passives as that skill does 60% elemental damage. You could level up with spells that would make good use of the starting ele nodes. Freezing Pulse at first, Storm Call later. Then later transition to dual ungil's spectral throw coc with prijectile spells like fireball or arctic breath (I did this around 45). Somewhere in 60s you can transition to cyclone coc. " eXidus wrote: Would a Doryani's Catalyst work for this build? or is there a reason it's a dagger? It's relatively slow, it doesn't have high local crit chance and sceptre crit nodes are crap. It's not impossible to use it but it's far from optimal. Good tips. I decided to use reave because i have never used that attack before. Why dual ungil's though? Wouldn't one + shield be just as good?

Having two of them gives you 55% total block chance and 10% more attack speed (dual wielding bonuses). But there's also +90% global crit chance from the 2nd one. IGN: NNQQ, Sporkay, Rands_	Posted by kolton on Oct 11, 2014, 3:17:55 PM Quote this Post
How would you go about the passive tree when leveling as shadow? My plan is to first get all the nodes in shadow area except the power charge passive maybe then get true strike/harrier/hired killer OR go down in ranger area for ondar's guide and acrobatics grabbing all the needed passives along the way. Lastly templar and marauder areas. Inner force and ee when? Quite late i reckon. What you think?	Posted by kompaniet on Oct 11, 2014, 3:24:00 PM Quote this Post
I went for blood siphon, coordination, hired killer first (life on kill is great in normal and early cruel). After that - shock, assassination, power charge, nightstalker, blood drinker. At this point you can switch to coc if you have a tabula. You can cross over to the left side of the tree before taking acro/ondar's but since things start hitting harder in merciless I went for more defense: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYBBbUOSA-rEZYTnha_I_Yk_SaVMHw2PUV8S1dNklFHUzVVS13yYeJirGNDbIxvnnBScFZw1XcHfjN_K4MJhxOJ04w2jX2Nv5Abl5eaE5u1nKSdqqSRtDi0xcDjwuzDOspK1CPWitvU44TlGedU8bP79Q== Inner force comes later, as you start mapping. You can take EE earlier if you have a complete gear setup around 60ish.

You can take EE earlier if you have a complete gear setup around 60ish. That looks good to me. Thx for your super fast replies and help :) I don't have a tabula but i have some rare 4 links and 5 links i can colour to my needs. I think a 6 link tabula is overkill for any content in this game before 70 maps the earliest anyway. But why not just use: It has a low level requirement.

If you can comfortably use voll's early on it's fine. But cyclone+blood magic early on will drain life too quickly. Maybe try lightning strike or molten strike as delivery skill. I don't recommend recoloring Voll's to 3 green sockets for spectral throw. And disregard the part of my post about purities. You'll need level 20 gems before inner force+athleticism give you +1 max, so you might as well get inner force after 80.

Finally got my 6L volls! If anyone is looking for 5L or 6S voll, I'm selling here (shameless selfpromotion): http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/663323 „I don't give a fuck if it was his tenth anniversary with his goddamn neckbeard...“ „If they think I'm going to let them sweep this pizza guy thing under the rug...“ No mod action. Business as usual. Last edited by Odoakar on Oct 11, 2014, 6:02:23 PM	Posted by Odoakar on Oct 11, 2014, 6:02:13 PM Quote this Post
I'm having trouble with merveil in graveyard map. Anyone know how to safely defeat this boss... I just get instantly nuked with map mods such as ele weakness and more than 1 projectile (not together).... Maybe switch ice nova out for lightning penetration?

Hit level 78 recently, I'm having massive problems with melee mobs. Most of them will chunk me in one hit, and don't even get me started on freaking EK exiles/bosses. I have 4k HP and even took all the dodge node so I have like 40% dodge 40% evade. Just tried Poorjoy's Asylum and got absolutely smashed. I love this build but I don't see any way to keep from constantly dying to certain melee mobs. (having particular trouble with the whip creatures from lunaris temple and flicker strike spiders).

T_T Get vaal grace and flask with remove freeze. pop vaal grace then rush to her and nuke her down. second phase, use vaal haste to quickly kill merveil before too many tornado appears. for ele weakness and merveil, bring a sapphire flask maybe.
