with your tree lvl 10 conductivity will give you about 20% lighning penetration vs bosses (other than shaper) which is about 10% more damage - it's quite alright for 4 talents, you can't get that much from any other talents.
But you'll get a lot less HP with this tree on high levels since you can't possibly get constitution node.

Hi folks. I haven't posted a lot in these forums but i want to thank Enki and all other active players in this forum for all the very usefull informations. Especially this build makes me enjoy this game. All others i've played in the past got nerfed/killed in some way.

Now i'd like to show you what i've been able to craft in the last 3 days.
It took me several exalts to get these 2 mods together (and that's for EACH Dagger). I know that the crafted mods on them still have room for improvement, but boy am i happy to have dual doryanis replaced with those 2 Daggers 😊







Should i try to sell them once i've managed to craft highest Tier crafting mods on them? On the other hand 20/9 & 20/8 are not perfect but atm there are no such Sai-Daggers in standard available as far as i checked on poe.trade


Cheers

Hello! love the guide, just have one question. Should i keep using a rare six link chest rather than Inpulsa 5 link? Until i can six link it. Essentially is Hypothermia support better than Inpulsa?

It's called inpulsa's broken heart becouse it's broken.
5L inpulsa is better than 7 linked armour.

*IMO - they should balance it to 30/20%.

Yes, it's certainly a large dps boost. I even managed to have a small dps boost on Shaper by taking out the 3 attack/cast speed nodes (I'd have to play around to see if the 10% Curse Effect is worth a 4th passive). However, right now dps is not an issue, and I'd loose out on blind. If I can find a good shaped glove with socketed cast speed and blind, then I will likely revert back to double curse. Currently however, especially with these trades damage is not an issue at all, even with a 5L Arc.

Health is considerably lower, but not too terribly so. Changes from the build's default level 100:
-1 jewel socket
-10 dextereity
-40 strength
-4% health
-20 maximum health
-16% mana
-20% mana regen
-1% life regen

+40 intellect
+20% choas res
+22% elemental damage
+12% spell damage
+36% lightning damage
+10% shock effect
+4% cast speed
+1 passive (I stopped at 99)
+25% energy shield
+12% attack damage

This is clearly an offensive trade for a defensive one. As I approach end game I may choose to revert this. I mostly created this variant to test double curses. I've considered keeping the left portion of the tree, dropping the flask nodes (for second curse), and reverting the right/bottom portions. Since I intend to take Purity of Flesh in either case, the only difference is -10 dex, +10 int for the pathing change.

What do you guys think i should add as the second suffix? Im thinking attack speed but dunno if i want to sacrifice that for something else.

Edit: Also, the lower spell damage + non chaos to chaos is better than the raw higher spell damage right?

7% chance to deal double damage as a 3rd suffix
yes, 50% spell damage + 6% non chaos is better than 66% spell damage

can someone that knows well how the build and interaction work rate my daggers ? I m still noobish are they like a 5/10? Crafting isn t a strong point of mine either so explain like for a kid, lol

Can some1 recommend me my next update?

Thanks Enki, great guide, fun and affordable build ! 2 thumbs up

Not sure how others are doing but man the Syndicate encounters in this league are one shotting me, can’t progress in XP @t11/12 maps currently at 88, so may have to just skip all syndicate content until I can reach 90. I’ve got all max res , chaos res@ 65, only clarity reserve so lots of free mana for mom, completed ascension, don’t know man...squishy !

I’ll try alternative flask selection and perhaps use cloak of defiance to bump up mom if that makes any sense.
