Passive skill tree build (melee, critical, dual)

Made my first Shadow passive skill tree build. Please suggest enchancements.

Target build

With that build, you going to get 1 shotted end game and the way you branch out to grab nodes are ineffective. I would assume by your choice that you want to use claw so i recommend something like this for a shadow

CI claw


or if you don't like using energy shield, you can try replacing the energy shield nodes with life nodes and grab acrobatics maybe but that is quite ineffective i think since you will be wasting a shit load amount of points.

I really do not want to use energy shield anyhow, so the point was to create a max damage, max crit (chance and damage) claw shadow.

Magic skills would be only used as supportive (m.b. auras etc). Same with HP - I try to max dmg, even if it would cost me some survivability

So in fact - melee only dual wielding claw shadow :)

Not using energy shield is fine and all but your build still need alot of work. Spells alone won't let you survive as you have little to no hp and you probably have no armor or evasion either due to no nodes taken ( except at the very end which you are probably not going to reach anytime soon). End game maps or hell just even merciless mobs will one shot you.

I drafted an hp/iron reflex one. Its probably not optimally pathed as i was in a hurry but it will give you an idea of how much survivability you need for end game

shadow

Although I got crucified during whole 1st difficulty, on Cruel level I found some new crap and started crucifying mobs, so as for now the build rules epically. It started to rule after I reached the life leech passives.

But anyhow you are correct about the question of HP. It\s level is quite low yet.

As the process goes on, here's the diary.
On the 3rd difficulty the character still kills almost every monster with 1 hit. With life leech 12% on every hand the char almost never dies (only in crowds (thieves, for example))
