Hey Poutsos,

Just a quick question- With the new Spectral Throw- wouldn't that be better than LS? You would get all your dagger damage passives, also your dagger crits and so on... but the main thing is the pierce and ability to throw through things that LS won't go through like over ledges, bridges, cages and so on.

Also, Infernal Mantle- what are your thoughts on this? it has 100% global crit chance but has a 100% increased spell damage taken when on low mana (which this build is always on).
Just asking because i have seen 5 and 6 linked ones going for pretty cheap.

What are your thoughts?


I've tried Spectral Throw with my build. Here are some opinions about it:
1. Spectral throw isnt viable for farming trash mobs without LMP/GMP. Lightning Strike is.
2. With GMP/LMP DPS is too low against single target. Lightning strike is viable against single target (using direct hit). If LMP/GMP is linked to lightning strike, it's area coverage is far greater than of spectral throw.
3. Spectral throw's projectiles return too slowly, while LS ones fly fast anddeal all damage at once.
4. Lightning Strike SHOCKS, and with such high crit chance and damage, shock potential is insane, shocking even bosses with ease. With shock, even physical portion of LS become greater, than Spectral throw's (despite of 50% lightning conversion).
With such benfits of Lightning Strike, i see no reasons to use Spectral Throw for this build.

About infernal mantle - although damage boost would be nice, 100% more spell damage is too hard to sustain (just imagine you're ALWAYS running with -25% max resistances mod). It's no way you will want it, except for eary lategame, if you already have linked one.

I said "good dagger". Not a ilvl 60 double phys roll Dagger. Thanks for the feedback. The lack of depth says I did ok.

Grouping with a slow/low dps dagger will be hell on frenzy charges. So your advice is to only play solo? Glad you knew the price on bad daggers bro. I been meaning to look that up >.>

I don't know if you guys remember me. I had the 450k screenie a bit ago. I went into domination. While there, I got super lucky and a Shavronne's Vestments dropped for me. I adjusted your build a bit to go low life. Low life provides four benefits and two problems.

Using crown of eyes. It lets me run pain attunement at the cost of 2 passive points for 30% more attack damage.

I am gaining 52% more attack speed while using blood rage. I am up to 12.5 attacks per second with flicker. 52% also makes Lightning Strike super fast, since it doesn't benefit the same way that Flicker does from my 7 charges.

I am running 3 auras on life. I am running all 3 damage auras, Wrath, Hatred, and Anger. I also run Discipline and Clarity. 3 attack auras helps quite a bit when you are hitting so fast. I burn, freeze, and shock everything. Shocks help things melt even when the dps doesn't show up on the tooltip. It makes me feel like I am playing before the aura nerf.

I am running Wondertrap. My IIR is up to 275 and my IIQ is 25. Not bad for super fast flickering.

The downside is that I can't run melee on full life. That means that I run Melee Physical, Multistrike, Melee Splash and Flicker. I only have a 4l Shavs right now. Hard to get rich fast in the new league, but I will 6l it eventually and add in Crit Damage and Rarity to get up to 325 IIR.

I also can't get quite as much ES, since I had to drop CI to get pain attunement. I think 30% more damage and spell damage modifiers as well is worth the loss of Melee on Full Life, and the ES. I am only 78 right now. When I get to about 85 and get better jewelry and finish leveling my gems I'll post all my gear.

With a 4L flicker and this dagger:



I am at about 70k dps and super amazing IIR! I have about 3500 ES and am gaining it quickly now. I am trying to find a way to put RF into this build for 70% more attack damage. I just burn to hot right now to walk around. I am also looking for a phys dagger with spell damage on it, to test out how that adds more damage.

Definitely a col idea with crown of eyes, and grats on the shavs. I gave up leveling my flicker shadow on dom at 68 bc I've been so unlucky with drops. I started a crit sword duelist for pvp who is 76 with 55k dps and plays much safer. I think your build would still be better with an abyssus though especially with the high attack speed on the dagger. My ign is demiricon on dom, let's map!
Orzi - My thoughts about spectral throw are the same as MortalKombat3s.I completely agree with him on every point he made.Plus in my build,i need LS to also gain power charges.The most efficient way to do that is supporting it with Power charge on crit and increased critical strikes.This way it gets capped crit chance,and generates charges constantly.However,there is only one slot left,and since LS has already decent AoE,i can just use faster attacks.while with spectral throw i would HAVE to use LMP.The shock aspect is also greatly important.With 95% crit it is always triple shock for 90% MORE damage :D


Dolx - Wow bro,i am really amazed!Increadible videos and total ownage of Palace Dominus.This vid is getting on the build description.No better feedback than another player who did such a good job with the build.U also made the build your own,adapting your playstyle which is awasome.The quil rain on swap to gain frenxy charges from distance left me amazingly amused.I ll definetely give this a try


SirJukesAlot - Pal,no reason to get that tone.MK3 only wanted to help.Personally i beleive that a 200+ DPS with 9 crit dagger is an incredible weapon,slow or fast.Slow actually works better with flicker strike.The sad part is that i dont beleive that a such dagger will cost 5-10 ex.More like 10-20 ex or more.And if the physical DPS is over 250,then even with less crit it is definetely more than 20 ex.Daggers are expensive :/


Sblack - Hey nate! GZ on that Shavs :D.I have thought about the crown of eyes and low life for pain attunment.However with a godly dagger this build already does rediculous damage.I actually wouldnt use another red socket on my potential 6L,because i feel the damage will be too high for reflect,even with almost 8K ES.ALso crown costs something like 80 exalts in standard :P.However,if u do have these items,it is good middle ground between abyssus and non abyssus CI.Not as glass cannon as CI abysus,but not as tanky as a non abyssus high ES CI build(with higher damage of course).In the end,a high ES build with a godly dagger will always be the best option for high level maps.From my experience,in order to be able to deal with abosulutely every map mod,u will need eventually at least 6K ES(and 7 would be much better actually).

Maybe we have a different views, but i would never use word "bad" referring to a weapon, worth several exalteds. I use word "good", refering to those. And those worth decades of exalteds (or more), are "godly" in my opinion.

Yes, double phys roll + crit dagger will be enough to burst you through most (if not all) maps solo. As well as triple ES roll 6-l chest, and shield... Just 3 good rolls on certain mods are enough for endgame.

Oh, you want to clear mobs with ease in parties too using flicker? Man, you either wont be able to do that, either rest party members will be just spectators. And you will need to deal several times MORE DPS just to perform such a feat.

I already said that, and will repeat again - DONT use flicker in a party. Use lightning strike for that. You can use Lightning Strike with same 6-L colours you need for Flicker. Sorry, pal, but the truth is: flicker is solo-only.

MAybe i underestimated 200+ DPS 9+ crit dagger, but believe me, they WERE worth such a sum two month ago (considering exalted inflation, of course). Perhaps, recent caster nerf skyrocketed melee dagger's prices... i cant say for sure.

If you want an upgrade, honour razor is your choice (2-nd is too fast). However, it's base physical DPS is equal to yours, all you get is better crit chance and slower speed. I dont know, if 1.5 exa is correct price for such a weapon or not, but if i was on your place, i wouldnt buy any of those daggers.
Your weapon of choice should be a dagger with 1.2 attack speed. It provides best mana management, and best damage/crit chance (required for flicker). Heck, you can even try to craft it yourself using a new vendor recipe. You will need a bunch of alterations, some augmentation & regal obs, and a stock of Granite Flasks. Just reroll a dagger with 1.2 base speed with alts, try to get good %increased phys damage or flat phys damage (use granites for it) + high local crit chance. Then regal it, and if you get another good physical roll, it's a jackpot.
