[3.5] Say_Ten's Melee Shadow - Murder Everything Cheaply

@Pingouinmalin appreciate the advice. The amulet was bought for around 35c iirc.

The build did alot of dps. Just could not progess

I've been playing this game for a day now and found a tabula rasa. I'm a total newb in this game, but I understand that it's a pretty rare item, right?
Currently lvl 27 and wondering if it's worth wearing the tabula to have my dualstrike and lightning strike both linked with 4 support gems over another chestpiece with extra life? The tabula just gives me a 6link, but nothing else of stats..

Very lucky, tabula is the perfect body armour until you complete any build, the 6L boost you so much, you will use it in every toon you create, or you could sell it (dont recommend)look at poe.trade for the price. Even tho it doesnt have stats, the utility from it is super. You should put the most used attack in the tabula, and put the other one in a 4l boots/helmet/gloves. BTW, expect to die from bosses, dont worry.

Nice price for the amulet, Baccrox. The extra chaos damage is really good for this build.


I just upgraded my gear to 6-linked Belly of the beast + Starkonja'head : gained quite a lot of DPS with dual strike according to PoB, lost around some on frost blades (but can't feel a difference in game) and... gained a bit more than 500 life... :) Standing at 5800 now. Which is definitely cool.

However, I would recommend to stick with Say_Ten recommandation till you can get high quality and high level gems, as otherwise you would lose DPS. And the "more life" means I lose the "blind" support included in the bringer of rain.


TextmarkerUI : Tabula Rasa as said by nabilfares5 is really really good for any character levelling. If you have problems with mana (a six link can cost a lot), put mana leech support in one of the slots.

The bramble sever has 50-55 pdps increased and the brood barb has 40-50 pdps , but i lost the bino's stats, like crit chance and crit multiplier. Is worth to trade both, or mix them together? Each bino's offer 10% more crit and 16% more crit multiplier.

If bino's still offer most damage, when should i trade out the daggers? 10% crit seem to be a good chunk of crit chance and subsequently more damage. Both rare daggers offer +280 pdps, +7,5 crit but 1,45-1,49 aps, should i get +aps to outvalue the crit chance?But pdps=damage+aps, isnt the higher pdps better than only higher aps? I saw one dagger with 300 pdps, and another one with 300 pdps but higher aps and lower damage and was more expensive, is there a difference?

Edit: i did this math, (min damage + max damage)/2*crit mult*crit chance= damage, i took the stats from the character window, is this the correct math? Both bino's had the most damage, going to stick with it until someone gives me the correct math, thanks. But one combination with bramble sever and the best bino's in the dual strike damage ingame had more damage than both bino's, should i trust this numbers?

Edit2: I used path of building, the dps with both rares are lower, i think that i can trust this program, everyone uses it. Daggers better than bino's will be 1ex price plus or im wrong? not including somethings a good rare for less. Im going to stick with them for a while them.

Edit : also, why Ice Golem ? PoB says flame or lightning would be better DPS wise.

I would look to upgrade your ToA...something with high crit and overall better stats like I suggest

Ice golem to keep crit chance as high as possible, especially with accuracy

Which item i must ''upgrade'' and is my Passive Tree correct ?

Amulet could have more DPS

Right ring has low life roll

Could divine the BoR for better life roll

I've downed three of the four guardians now- Chimera killed me just now, sadly- and I can't afford another run atm. Or well, okay, his snakes did- chimera himself is easy as hell with this build. Any tips on the snakes? Staying moving is hard with 20 things spitting chaos damage and poison (Which I have no resists for past atziri's promise), and I can't really be hitting them if I keep moving. I know it's about learning, I'm just feeling a little stuck here because those snakes are murder. I would of had him otherwise. With Phoenix/Hydra, those took a few times- but im genuinely a bit unsure how to deal with the snakes- their (Presumably poison + chaos damage) outdoes my leech, as is.

Edit: Someone in-game suggested I slot a decoy totem, so ill try that.

If you are using LS you can move and kite and hit a lot of shit to get life back and whittle them down

Any tips and ideas on what I can get or replace on my character to push it further?

Character name is nakid_assassin

Your gear is pretty decent...it’s going to cost a lot to push further. You’d probably notice the most from weapons that are a lot better, but note the cost of that shit too. How much do you want to micromanage?
