Hi everyone, not sure if I should post this here but I'm using this build (even tho its not suggested for first characters) and I need to ask you guys some questions.

I'm currently lvl 47 and I find my LS damage a bit low. Im using a 14-57 dps sword with 1.95 attack speed and my LS's damage sits at 367 without buffs nor frenzy charges. Considering I only got a few points in crit chance and crit multiplier I was thinking about switching to daggers later, since I haven't find any good ones yet. As support gems for my LS im using faster attack speed, mana leech and LMP. It burns a sh*tload of mana and thats another problem but I still find the damage pretty low.

TL;DR LS damage is quite low (imho) shall I get some STR passive points? Shall I change support gems, if yes which ones? Shall I get a dagger by all means to get the crit chance and multiplier even if it means losing on-paper damage and attack speed ?

Other question: shall I focus on getting ONLY ES gear or you need some armor / evasion to make this build work? I have troubles understanding which is the correct balancing in defensive stats.

Final question: Clarity is worth using? Currently using it but I don't understand when is it profitable in terms of mana reserved vs mana regen. (I stopped leveling it past lvl 4 since I heard it would become mana angry, not sure if I shall level it up now that I'm lvl 47)

Thanks to those who will care answering and kudos to Invalesco for the detailed informations and the build concept, have a good day everyone.

Drop the Faster Attacks on your LS, that will lower the mana cost significantly and if you're going OOM spamming it, spamming it slowly for longer will result in more DPS over a period of time.

Clarity is always a weird one, because it requires a lot of mana reserved and if you're turning through your mana fast your see little benefit of it, because the amount of time your OOM is so small that you can't regen much through clarity, often people stop leveling their clarity at level 3 for this very reason, it reserves a fair chunk of mana but still gives you mana back.

I'm lvl 62 in HC and need gear to respec into CI, i'm trying to farm Fellshrine Mercyless but still nothing found..Should i buy them instead? Anyone who sells good gear for this build?

Hmm, Would it be viable to dual wield instead and pick up the dual wield nodes in softcore?
or are shields just *that* good :o

In the process of remaking my crit dagger shadow from CB. Currently level 48 but taking my time. Pretty excited to try out some of the new melee support gems =D.
