Sweet. That is a silly amount of ES on that shield, btw.

"Help Oak for +1 Endurance Charge or Kraityn for +1 Frenzy Charge"

Depends on what you use more often, I would say. Objectively speaking, I would say +1 Endurance is always better as it is basically a flat 5% reduction in damage taken. However, the only way to generate Endurance Charges in this build is with the use of Warlord's Mark, so it may not be as useful as the Frenzy. If you often find yourself capped at 3 Endurance Charges, then maybe it would be a good choice, but I rarely seem to be higher than 1 or 2 at a time, and if I do get up to 3 the timer usually runs out before I get to make much use of it.

You may use the curse more than I do though. I find that Warlord's it the best curse overall as far as utility goes, but in a party Elemental Weakness is usually a better choice, and I like to use Enfeeble a lot when I'm solo for the increased mitigation. YMMV.

I noticed that you dont got any life regen or life steal or what so ever how can you get hp(ghostreaver--> ES) to survive things?

Hi Guys,

I have a question.
Vaal Pact makes the life leech you get instant.
But puncture is a dangerous thing for CI builds.
When you have something to hit it's ok, but I've been in a lot of situations where the monsters are gone and my puncture timer has still 4 sec to go..

If you wouldn't take Vaal Pact, you're lifeleech is saved in a sort of queue and you get max 20% of your ES (with GR) every second.
Is this a viable way to get some sort of regen over time for this kind of situations?

And is Vaal Pact useful anyway? When you have a huge ES pool?


Another thing is Zealot's Oath.
I've searched the forum, and some posts say that ZO won't work with Vaal Pact.
Other say it should work, because Vaal Pact effects Life Leech, not ES leech (what you'll basically get when you take ZO)
Has anyway tested this and have a concrete answer?

I think it's not a really big deal because life regen nodes are hard to get with a CI shadow.
But if it does work, it's maybe worth it to take some regen on gear for puncture situations..

Hello.

Ok, I will show my current equip too, and ask some questions.

Lvl 68, build is pretty same to Invalesko's 64-74 build suggestions.



As You can see, I have chosen LMP + Fast Attack + WED + Crit Dmg for Lightning Strike. Manacost is 41, atk spd 0.4 sec.
Have 174/733 mana, 4% mana leech (with passive and curse), and 12.8 mana regen.
So, platinum question: how to solve mana-problem, without changing gems?
Please list possible solutions, what can I do.

Also, what should I buy next? Got like 5 exalts left.

PS: Must find 2 green slots for Blood Rage and Whirl, not much variants - should try to paint my shield, I guess (or buy a new one).

best way to increase your mana regen will always be increase your mana pool.
Think u r spending 41 mana per LS attack, and consider u make at least 2 attacks per second. Its impossible to get enough mana from regen alone. Mana leech from physical dmg its till low on LS.
The only solution I see its add a 6 green socket to use mana leech support gem, but that's my opinion.

Make 6L? Yeah, thanks for advice. -.-

41 mana cost its rly expensive. Maybe its no worthy to use elemental dmg support without a 6l chest. My LS its on 2.5k dps using a 4l chest and only cost 24 mana.

Warlord's Mark and Blood Rage both grant Life Leech.
