Hi There

Any reason you don't recommend an edps dagger with crit base? Seems like this might be more appropriate since you are grabbing crit nodes in the tree. Are these just too expensive?

Currently level 49 in Perandus SC and doing OK thus far...

thx!

Thanks again FoxTactic, Atziri down at level 83. My first time killing her with melee.

@LordVondrake - Your characters are not set to public, so you might want to either make them visible or post your gear/build.

Anyway, i've improved a bit, lvl 77, 4k life, 27k dps with charges, if i remember well. But still far away from the 270k, so i'm wondering how can exist such difference. Still lot to improve, but you know... time and currency ;)


If someone had any problems surviving (55-70 mostly) in merciless, i must suggest patience, you will probably die often until you get some gear & skills lvls, when you are 70+ you will start seeing a huge improvement in your survival & dmg.

My initial thoughts (and just my opinion, others likely have additional insight to offer):

Gear -
Main hand is on the slow side, might want to try something over 1.9aps, but probably not urgent.
Offhand has a number of phys stats which don't seem to scale as well with this build.
Amulet has accuracy on it, but no crit, no crit multi and no weapon ele damage.
Rings have no crit, no weapon ele damage, and the flat ele damage is kind of low.
Gloves have no attack speed or flat ele damage.
Belt ele damage roll is on the lower side, but not too bad in my opinion.
Boots, yes we whirling blades everywhere, but movement speed is very nice in moving between mobs.
Flasks, you have no damage flasks. Consecrate flask, atziri flask, onslaught flask, all are cheap and nice boosts.
Jewels could be more damage focused if you wanted.

Are you running with Herald of Ash up instead of Wrath? We do very little physical damage, so this will be a minimal increase to DPS. Wrath is worth a heck of a lot more. My opinion is either go Charisma or Essence worm and run Wrath / HoT / HoI. Enlighten may be an endgame option.

Feel free to look at my set-up, but keep in mind I'm going Wild Strike rather than Frost Blades. I very much like the feel of it. Fully buffed I'm hitting something like 170k to 180k I think.

Thanks a lot for all your improvements, i'll start replacing my stuff soon (building the currency needed for it atm)

And no, so far i'm using herald of thunder + wrath, i'm leveling the herald bcs i started at the beginning with all the 3 heralds so i'll raise it anyway. I'm considering to get the ring Fox have, Essence Worm to add add herald of ice also.

About your set-up, i must say that you have the same problem as i had, private profile :P
