[3.1] RAIDER Tanky Crit Reave/Blade Flurry Dagger/Claw AR+EV+Block NO MIRRORED GEAR

I grabbed the perfect form zodiac, it's godly good. 6sock5L. Running grace and assmark ' .
Hitting tier 11 maps on HC and going well.

I specked into cloth and armour near golems blood early in build to make use of the zodiac bonus. Specced out once my gear had xtra cold res.
Overall, the armour has really given the build fair survivability.

Thanks again for the guide

I'm torn between Dagger and Claws.

I have a 6l Perfect Form and The Surrender waiting for me. Playing Hardcore and the extra leech from claws is very tempting for sustain. I know Claw passives aren't that great, but I could possibly get a 300+ pdps claw for 1/3 the price of a similar dagger. Would I just be looking at lower crit rate?

I did pick up this neck. Little low on HP, but resists and +1 frenzy with some flat damage

Mostly lower crit rate, yes. But I'm not of the impression that claws are cheaper, at least by looking at the prices on Breach. Seems pretty much the same as daggers, and it's super hard to find a high dps claw with increased crit chance anyway.

Doing Breach Hardcore. Didn't get the crit chance on the current claw I have, but 312 DPS for 40c.

Liking the build, but my damage is a bit lack luster atm. Not too surprising since I really haven't picked up any damage nodes. Got all the health/shield/defences first.

A VERY good part of your DPS is crit. A 280 DPS claw with increased crit mod will be better than the one you currently have, and I'd wager it would even give you more tooltip DPS.

The nodes are an important aspect too, ofc.

Yea, just picked up a new claw for 40c.

Faster, has crit (6% crit on Blade Flurry over my old one, still no crit nodes). I'll miss the 2% leech implicit (just picked up vaal pact). But we'll see how it goes.

Only like ~15 pdps lower too.

If only I had good RNG, exalt the max hybrid phys roll on that would put it at 400 pdps

I Started this build today, but i'm having pretty big mana issues. What did you do while leveling? Just mana flasks?

There's at least a dozen ways you can easily get mana leech while leveling if you don't want to use mana pots. Wurm's molt is the first thing that comes to mind. Other than that, you can also simply take the 1 mana node on the tree.

I'm sorry, I want to start this build in HC Breach but what would you, today, recommend:
- Reave or Blade flurry?
- Dagger or Claw?

Thank you!

I love the idea of this build especially being able to switch between blade flurry and reave. Going to give it a try for softcover breach. However I have a question if you can switch and use lacerate without changing the skill tree because that's another skill I enjoy using
