Dual Claw CI Tank Concept

Several times ppl ask me about making my dual dagger crit shadow based on claws. I always say that claws in a crit build are half as efficint as daggers are. But Claws would be great to make a Tank.

This is a concept based on my dual dagger expirience on maps and excel calculations.

The tank we about to make will have a very high leech. 6% from two claws, 6% from blood rage, 2% from a ring and 4% from claw passives. Thats total of 21% of your physical dps.
To make full use of that we need to remove leech cap with vaal pact. And Vaal Pact is most effective with energy shield.

Here's the build i have in mind


Your main aoe attack will be: Dual Strike+Melee Splash(q15+)+melee phys damage+Melee damage on full life+Increased Area Of effect(q15+)
For single targets: Dual Strike+Faster Attack+melee phys damage+Melee damage on full life

On Bandits you will do: kill all, kill all, help oak for endurance charge.

For gear i estimate the following: 250 dps phys claws, 800ES chest, 300ES helm, 500EV boots,400EV gloves, eye of chayula amulet, dream fragments ring, ring with 2% leech, belt with high tri res.
On that gear after you cap your res try to aim for as much mana as you can, more mana equals more auras.

By my estimation you will have:
6K aoe dps/10K single target dps with Vulnerability curse. Nothing special here - it's a tank after all.
10K armor, that's around 50% phys reduction on maps, +20% from 4 endurance Charges.
80% all elem res and chaos immunity.
23% block chance.
7K energy sheild aka health pool.
1.2K ES leeched per second per target in your aoe.
Flasks with each resist to boost you elem res to 93%.
Flask that will give you +10K armor.
Flask with run speed.

This tank will cost you a lot especially because it will be extremely cosly to make BGRRR on a pure ES chest.

If someone will decide to try this build pls post here your expirience.

i will give this build a try, it might takes some time since im new at this game

Melee CI wont work w/o gear. You shouldn't try this w/o the currency to effort the gear.

To the build: I would take out 5 8% Es nodes and the swagger nodes. I would add zealot oath, enemy crit multiplier reduction and trolls blood. also you have easy acces to 15% ele res.

I thought about it but actually it cost 8 nodes.
So it's trading 700 ES for 100 ES/sec regen on a character that have 1300 ES/sec leech per target. Regen on this char would mean nothing. 700 ES is always good.

i'm sorry i wouldnt play dual claw without blast radius

taking your tree and making the 1 slight alteration

needless to say, i wouldnt sell out that much to straight dw tank.

Ive made a dual claw Ghost Reaver, CI Vaal Pact build before, but the problem is that it's virtually impossible to get the socket colors you need on ES gear. At some point you have to sacrifice huge amounts of ES or run with unlinked gems. How do you plan to get around this?

Edit: I see, you just plan on rolling a thousand chromatics to get the chest socket colors you need. Its possible, but not worth it IMO especially if you have to re roll every time you upgrade your chest.

I'm DW ghost reaver CI, and this is my build:



lvl 73 atm, no problem running maps, current es is `3.1k

My main single target dps is dual strike + melee phys + melee phys on full life + faster attacks + culling strike.

For Aoe i use Lightning Strike + Weapon elemental + pierce, and fire traps.

Currently working towards getting inner force, and I have two of the unique claws that basically have vaal pact.

Auras:
Grace
Hatred
Wrath
Discipline.

Feel free to ask me questions and/or add @TheAwkwardNinja in game.

you dont need balst radius as you will be usings aoe gem and will have +70% aoe radius on gems. No need to trade 40% energy sheild and 2 passive points to make it +90% aoe.

you dont 'need' blast radius, but gol dang even the extra 20% is WELL worth it to me.

I'd lean toward getting the increased physical damage from the cruel bandits instead of the passive. That's what, 18%? Pretty hard to pass up.

Good luck
