2.3 Fakener (budget fake Mjölner) build - Trickster Version

I'm thinking since the multiplier gem is nerfed to hell but chance gem buffed; I think it's a solid switch. At 20/20; it's 16.7% crit chance for both discharge and cyclone. Criting more often can easily offset criting harder.

Things may well change as we go along but this seems like a decent start.

Cyclone lost its attack speed per level and has 20% less attack speed. There's no reason to level it for coc builds now unless something changes.

Hi, I just wanted to say awesome build like every other build from Mathil :). I speced into provisional tree posted by Mathil and its still awesome :D, If you have problem sustaining life don't take vaal pact . And Mathil what do you think about that 10% endurance charge on crit?
I managed to lvl my Shadow up to 92, I would really appreciate a vid of your 1.3 version!
passive tree looks good, I guess the next 4 nodes will be to reach phase acrobatics?

Wonder if Cyclone is still good and if you can do Uber Atziri with it!
Do you feel like this build with its effects has an impact on your hardware? Like, graphics card stuff

Just specced my Shadow back into Fakener and it's perfectly fine still. I lost a bit of life and a few % crit. The rest is the same as far as I can tell. Can test more on stream tomorrow.

You can free up one more point, because you dont need the melee crit multi next to the Disemboweling... :)

What do you think using double strike against single target like bosses, insted of cyclon?
- Profession?
- Demon hunter.
- But demons don't exist.
- You're welcome.
Would it break ee in some way if i added curse on hit + assassin mark + herald of ice + reduced mana?
As long as it's not lightning it should be fine i guess?
I'm ready to go, got this for 3exa lol, without the MODs ofc.

Hey what's recommended for leveling? Im 45 and trying this out after the reset. Gear is okay (not great) but with all the blood magic in the gear I can't keep any life up at all. I'm thinking I'm just not doing it right. Here's what I have


Still working on the RRRB gloves (or boots), but regardless, are you just supposed to cyclone and discharge should fire? For me nothing happens except Im running out of life.
