Help with CI Dual Claw Build
|
Hey guys, im a bit new to the game, my highest lvl character is around 50 so i habent got that much experience, i followed a copy paste build, just to get the hold of the game
And i saw a Shadow with CI and dual strike killing everything like a god damn machine, so i want to try it My idea is to have a CI build, with Ghost reaver and Vaal pact Despite hearing that daggers give higher dps, i really like the sustain and look of the claws, and i wish to use them with dual strike, whirling blades and flicker strike And here's where i need help: Support gems and auras: Using Clarity for now, need discipline and i have no idea what else thinking of using dual strike with faster atacks, leech life and melee splash and same as above, no idea what else, as im new to this whole gem system, i dont know what i should run And finnaly the skill tree, in wich ive been wondering about physical damage vs atack speed, since id like to get as much atack speed a i can to leech more My base build, for around end game would be something like this: Cut for 80 points Tell me what do you think, and how can i make it better i know i havent picked up any health nodes, but im afraid that i might struggle to respecc them later, since CI | |

You'll probably want a few more ES passives before you go CI since you will not have any armor to soak the big hits. Also, with your current build I would guess that mana is a pretty big issue for you. The 3 point mana geyser cluster would help with that immensely. Other than that, crit and crit multiplier passives will be very helpful.
For a 5link chest I would probably use Dual Strike > Melee Splash > Faster Attacks > Melee Physical Damage > Power Charge on Crit which is GGRRB if you manage to get a 6 Link then add something like Added Chaos dmg. The focus of a build like this is to hit extremely hard so shock stacking or freezing isn't really necessary. Choas Damage and Fire Damage are your best options. I would choose Chaos because it will be easier to get a blue socket in a 6 link of the armor type you will be using than it would be to get another red. Also, use a decoy totem or something to help with your survivability because you will be pretty squishy. |

I dont see any melee build without Armour, in this case, Iron Reflexes.
My shadow only shines when I catch IR. Before this, was death after death. Use daggers to do more critical (huge dmg) and leech more. Claws have leech, but lacks in critical. Still good in early game. I left Vaal Pact because the effect doesnt compensate the distance (to much passive points required to reach). Keep in mind 3 skills: 1 - for scape (whirling blades, leap slam, etc) 2 - for area dmg 3 - for single target (your face to face skill) Melee CI is hard!!! But nice ^^ |

Id really like to keep using claws, not daggers :P
Well. so far, in terms of passive tree, i got a few questions Iron reflexes, Vaals Pact aaand Unwavering Stance In terms of CI, waste of points, or should i got for the last 2? In terms of mana, im going for the cluster after the elemental ressist passive, down form CI, and for energy shield passives, i cant find any close nodes near my build And i dont really care for crits, im more in an Atack speed/physical damage claw build, with life leech Still need help :0 Updated build, with unwavering stance for stun resist Last edited by Eph_#0853 on Jun 19, 2013, 6:38:21 AM

I am trying to use evade/CI dual claw build so far it doesnt work so well .. as whirling blades are not really dependable cause of desyncs...

" Heh, well im counting on dying multiple times, in fact, im sure i will, but, ive tried other caster builds etc, and this is just what i want to play I know CI melee is viable with gear, so its more a matter of time Ive been searching around, and in fact, i am considering a change to a dagger crit build. as i can crit and leech more ES from daggers and it should be enough to keep me alive, and claw might just be overdoing it Yea desync is a big problem in this game, one of the few reasons i dont play hardcore for the moment, that and being a noob about builds |
