Topic updated, tree is unchanged (lose 5% crit multi for some more life).
I don't play the build anymore but I'll continue to keep this thread updated and reply to you guys. Maybe I'll rebuild this character in a month or so, good luck and have fun.

What build do you plan on running from here on Oos? :D

Well in Invasion I've rolled a dual totem Searing Bond character, it;s kinda boring but extremely OP. Something nice and cheap for my first build to get some wealth. Then I reroll some nice crit dagger build, probably using Lightning Coil. Although spells are pretty strong now so we'll have to see :)

You guys playing new leagues? and what build?

If you're still running daggers and not vaal pact, how do you not die to reflect+crit?

EleEq trapper (fire + lightning)

never played it before, seems interesting when I think about it. Started from shadow.

Doing pretty fine so far. And its fun.

I cover this in the main post. You can block and evade reflect. Some people use Immortal Call on CwDT, I prefer not to go over 400% crit multi in HC leagues.

Like the look of this build. I played Perz's reave shadow(Slight variations to fit my personel preference, as I will most likely do with this build) with around 70-80k dps depending on variable gear I would switch, won't beable to hit that high without raping myself with daggers and no VP. I ONE OF the best claw in dom(some guy made a claw better than what was in any other league o.O lol).

This is in a way similar to my brothers PvP build, that relies on ES Blocking with aegies and swords for block pen(also extremely viable for PvE) Neither of us really ever died on domination after the first month when we got our gear sorted, even with extremely ridiculous map mods, or unique maps.

In hindsight, should be more tank, and seems less gear orientated once I get a good dagger going.

Will have to test for myself whether I want Evasion or Armour for the build, normaly I think armour works best but with enough damage, even with high damage reduction I may just get 1shot from reflect either way, so the lower the chance to get hit might be the optimal choice. Perhaps even Vaal Pact, although not really a fan of it as a life build(Chaos over the time gives me the shits with 0 regen XD I generaly just alch a map and go forth for adventure, mods be damned)

So far only lvl 49, will be heading into merci ledge farming for tomorrows session, hoping all goes well =P

If not, reroll a nice caster or something depending on found gear and current wealth after piety farming for a bit. Plan to give this char a real go however.

How would this work with Spectral Throw, and Power Charge on Crit?

Can someone do the math for me on how you get blocked capped? Nothing seems to add up to 75%

Hey Oos, how would Romira's Banquet Diamond Ring work with this build? Seems like it would be good if you had low Crit Chance and the 2% Mana Leech would help with the recent patch to life/mana leech.

This build has been working very nicely in Ambush league. Started off using ice nova, fire trap, and spectral throw as leveling gems. All self found gear, except I bought a Mightflay and Crest of Perandus. I did have a lot of trouble from the corrupted area bosses. Literally almost one shotted, so be careful around those areas. Other than that, just need multistrike to really see this build perform.

Sorry for not replying sooner guys, I've been busy dying on Invasion!

I did a dagger spectral throw build with Lightning Coil, was probably my strongest build yet but is quite different from this build. My tree and gear is here:

If you want me to expand on this then let me know.

I get 70% block but you can cap block with Bringer of Rain or The Anvil uniques.

Romira's Banquet is really nice because this build doesn't use PCoC so the ring even outs the crits. Shame it doesn't have any defense though.

Yeah the new bosses are nasty to melee, I;m talking to someone who's just gotten lvl 72 in Invasion with this build, surprised he got this far.

Wow level 72 in Invasion! That's impressive. Kudos to him.
