Regarding the Critical Strike chance - is it affected by your global crit chance?

Global critical chance, yes.
Spell crit does not though, the same with any specific crit/damage node that isn't totem or global.

So using a Kris (or two) would probably be a good idea.

so in the new 1.2 version you don't pick up any aura nodes. What auras are you going to run?

Yeah i used to run discipline hatred and clarity and the clarity + discipline are just for casting the totems on comfortable speed and running as high arctic armour as possible

it's possible to run clarity from life or do minor fitting on the build if the mana feels its slowing down the clearspeed (maybe even get the auranodes, with lvl 20 gems the build has plenty mana for casting)


e: yeah global crit works ofc, but its 4% base and as someone pointed out spell crit doesnt work its a little troublesome to get (but comfortable as mobs get frozen when it crits and theres a lot of casts)

e: using daggers for crit is something I just wouldnt do
e: yes the Doon cuebiyari gives a good damage bonus, cast speed and life -- early in leagues i used to go for rare scepter with just 18+ cast speed and dual res (and manaregen)

e: corrupted meginords work (I also thought for longest time it doesnt but I have them right now)

e: "It's been changed to Totem Attack and Cast speed in 1.2 - this would work, wouldn't it?"
e: at least on my offline calculator i still see the spell part in that node

e: lacco your topic is pretty long so if you have something specific to ask shoot :)

Any reason why not to use a dagger?
Since spell damage is irrelevant, what's the benefit of any other weapon? Unless of course it is a unique with, well, unique properties such as in your build?

Why would you use a dagger? It's very much worse than a Doon.

Suppose you don't have a Doon.

I used a rare scepter with 18+ cast speed with dual res (and/or manaregen) depending a little what I could find from trade, ppl typically vendor all that works :)

Lots of phys node buffs, looking good.
