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

Hello, I was wondering if it could be possible to play your build with dual swords, here is the thing: i got my hand on a paradoxia sword that i corrupted here are the stats: with a dps of 123, but the double damage makes up for it? I don't know
Damage Penetrates 10% Elemental Resistances
Attacks with this Weapon deal Double Damage
32% increased Physical Damage
15% increased Attack Speed
10% chance to Trigger Level 1 Blood Rage when you Kill an Enemy
10% chance to Poison on Hit
And on the other hand i got a rat nest corrupted +2 cold gems +1 power charges.
So i was looking for a build to play around with those items and yours good.
I would like your thoughts on it, maybe i should let go the sword?

yeah, you can use a similar tree to the dagger tree. you basically just need to decide what you want to do about leech or getting life back since claws do that for you. check the FAQ for the dagger notes but basically don't take claw nodes and go for sword nodes and also leech nodes and/or VP if you want to run that.
Is there a CI alternative to this build?

I was trying to theorycraft this, but life version always stayed superior.
I'm new this game, before first dead by lag, I got to 7 act, so build working for beginners :)

What flasks I should get first, with low amount of currency ?

I just made my shadow and am using this build, I do have a question, can you use flicker strike instead of the lightning move or is it just better?

Diamond / silver, stibnite, jade with acrobatics or granite otherwise, basalt.

You need lightning strike for clearing mobs and kitting. Whirling Blades is your mobility skill.

There is no need for flicker strike.
I shouldn't use granite and jade flask together?

It's not like a rule or smth, it's just my advice. Ofcourse you can use them and they are really good because they can carry you through the story line.

Explanation why I suggested this flasks:

Diamond / silver buffs your damage to bosses and mobs clearing speed. With low amount of DPS you will always get extra hits from enemies, which isn't nice. So you should always take atleast 1 DPS flask.

Granite is really effective during acts. Monsters' damage is kinda low, so granite actually blockes tons of damage. In maps monsters' stats are higher, consequently 3k armor isn't a big deal and you can drop it for another flask (rumi's concoction since lvl 68 for an example). Acrobatics reduces armor's value by 1/3, so jade flask becomes better in this case.

Stibnite makes enemies blind, which gives better evasion than jade flask IF ENEMY STAYS in the cloud. You are melee, so blind will be always active during boss fight.

Basalt's physical damage reduction is always nice, thats all. Since some hits can path through evasion having damage reduction is important.

You can always hit me in the discord bcs I can be late here: crown is lost#4314
