[1.2.0] Life-based dagger spectral throw HC viable

Hello guys, I´m not gonna write detailed guide, but I´m going to mention some main things about this build. At the moment I´m lvl 94 on HC you can watch gameplay at Twitch.tv/AkamuTV. Some people have been asking me to make quick guide so here we go.

My current gear & links:


Few passive trees:
1. Main part - starting map (if you have mana problems take soul siphon next to shadow until you get better leech)


2. Mostly more life - for safer mapping/higher maps (if you have mana problems take soul siphon next to shadow until you get better leech)


3. High lvl verison - mostly complete build


4. Final version with abit of resppecing I hope min-maxed :)


I hope I did not forget anything important.. :)

Auras/Buffs:

I started using in this order:

Herald of Ice > Herald Of Thunder > Hatred > Herald of Ash

Using all 4 in endgame for hard maps like double reflect or ele ref -max or more than 1 damage mod I swap hatred for grace but it´s really rare. Like once or twice a day max.. :)

Bandits:
Normal skill point or Life - I went for Life. Lazy to do math if it´s still worth it after life changes with my current gear :-P
Cruel Physical or Attack speed - I went for attack speed. Since I´m not one of most ritch players here since start I planned using bino which is slow dagger also as scales better with all the ele I have.
Mercilles deffinitely power charge :)

Links on Spectral Throw:

4L - st + lmp + faster attacks + wed
5L - add pcoc if you have mana problems, if you are fine swap for crit damage
6L - add last gem pcoc or crit dmg. for me it was pcoc.

rest of links like cwdt, auras etc.. you can see in gear linked above.

Build is really cheap started with almost nothing for leveling used ungil´s & perandus crest shield and just 2 heralds ice & thunder. Did not even have coil ready when I was lvlingup attained it later.

bought this dagger for like 2 ex and was using it until around lvl 90.. :)

Atm I´m on 16 200 dps no charges and 20 700 dps with charges
crit chance capped at 95%
4700 Life
10.5 k eva in town - no grace/no flask

Did not test atziri but with saffel´s, swap heralds for PoF & PoL and right flasks usage possibly even atziri boots for more spell dodge should be easy. I´m not going to try it yet, since I really enjoy mapping with this build, but if I get bored or rip I will deffinitely give a try and let you guys know.

1. sorry for my english, not very good but I think you guys should understand :)
2. if you have any questions you can ask here or ingame for faster reply.

Good Luck & Have Fun ;-)

I wanted to try out something in the upcoming hc league, will most likely take a lot from this guide as it looks pretty solid.

I will probably give you some feedback on how it is going. Maybe I might also test it a bit in the 1 week race, depending on how much time I have to go for it. ;)
