Crit dagger ST Build

Hey all,

Been away for a bit, planning on coming back to mess around with the new content and play with the super fun PvP, kappa.

Last year I was working on a CI based crit dagger spectral throw build utilizing poison and bleeds, with the below weapon.



Is this still a somewhat viable build? Obviously I know it doesn't compete with the retardation of EA, BV, HoT, etc. (I'm assuming they're all still as broken as ever), but will I be able to mess around and do half-decent with it, from both a PvE and PvP perspective?

Also, any tips on new items, be it offensive or CI-based defensive that would mesh with this kind of build would be helpful! Oh and forgot to mention, was planning on going Assassin unless I get other recommendations.

Thanks for the feedback Aodui. I remember seeing those boots.. still think it's silly GGG introduces items with damage immunities. Guess I'll just have to test it out and see what 3.0 brings.

Hey man, yeah Death Door boots really rekt this build. I did an iteration influenced heavily by what Icedeal was already doing at the time, you can check it out. Keep in mind this was in Talisman and before Ascendancy:

I used self crafted daggers and a Lioneye's chest that was a BITCH to colour 5G lol...

However, (I could be wrong and things might change) but it looks like Pierce is losing it's MORE dmg modifier so it wouldn't really be worth it to use anymore. Better off with a Belly.

Vuln on hit gloves are arguably the most important part, and I would get a vuln curse effect helm as well.

Thanks Ahfack, I remember that build thread, I used it to help my own build :D. I was planning on going for a CI version of the build, I can't remember if there's a specific reason for going health on this one?

Ci's getting raped in 3.0 and you really gotta dual wield imo so no es shield is pretty hurtful

Ah yeah didn't really think about that... wish I could use my legacy Kaom's somehow ><

use 6l sword to ST with:



in 3.0, use new "60% more phys damage" gem(brutality), chance to bleed gem(new 3.0 gems both)

and ofc;




focus on phys damage more than bleed damage, bleed is just to force your enemy to swap items.

here you have a 225k pure phys ST dps build, with 9.1k life.

Thanks Rupenus, although I'm unfamiliar with pastebin - what am I supposed to do with that enormous code?
