" Make sure you have cap lightning res, and run with topaz flask til you have berserker. I'm currently at lvl 70 in HC. got no problem with reflect atm. " It seam to be a cool idea, deaf worth testing out. best way dealing with reflect, would have alot of scaling as well, could even use rearguard. If I get my hands on a voltaxic in HC I'll try it out. " Crit in tree doesn't need to have global tag to apply to everything. " I've only been running crit so far. but I'm sure non crit is viable. Non crit with voltaxic might be very strong. |

Do you think a Maligaros would be worth using? What are your thoughts about Winds of Change?

I'm doing a somewhat similar build as a Shadow (assassin) and was mostly just winging it. I think if I could do it over, I'd go Scion, but it works ok and this was just a farming build for the build I really want to play but will require expensive gear. I am trying to optimize things so I can confidently handle higher maps in HC. Since it seems like you've solved these issues (albeit for a different class), I'd appreciate if you had any ideas on what I should do.
My main issues have been with mana sustain and reflect (playing on HC). I haven't been able to justify dropping my 1 mana flask because while I do fine most of the map from mana-on-kill, tankier bosses require some extra mana. If you've found out a way to make the mana work without a huge investment on tree or a mana flask, I'd love to hear how. As for reflect, the vaal pact + 1.5% leech is really nice, and the main reason I wish I had gone Scion (piercing shots can somewhat make up for lack of deadeye). Currently, I'm just rerolling reflect maps and playing carefully with a topaz flask against reflect rares, but I do worry about off-screen death. I also have phase acro, though I certainly don't rely on it. I'm mainly just in this awkward spot where while my mana and reflect are totally fine right now, I'm only using a 4-link and I only have 20k DPS. While I have around 5 ex to spend on upgrades, I can't really get much more DPS w/o having to worry about random reflect death, and I can't add more links without having to lean even more heavily on a mana flask (which I really want to be able to drop). Lastly, do you really feel the duration nodes are that important? I mean I totally understand the appeal, but the skill clears a screen so quickly that it seems mostly irrelevant whether you're killing 2 screens worth of mobs instead of 1.5. That said, you made it sound like it was a must so I wonder if it's overperformed for you? Have you tried unspeccing the points for one map to see how big the difference is? Thanks for your time, nice build (wish I had thought to go Scion right off the bat)... IGN: Jihokinetic

I'm going to run a build similar to this on a defunct scion I have a passive reset on, but I got a question for you...
How did you get that super-high ES chest and helmet so early in Parandus? Did you craft them? I've been playing 6 months on scrub and the best ES drop I've had is 505 on body and about 200 on helmet. |

" For Reflect in HC I'm using Atziri promise and a topaz flask, its not perfect but I've never dropped into hp from reflect, even when I don't use the flasks, vaal pack and the 1.5% is good enough, just scary when I'm in groups. I'm at 110 Mana regen on Gear atm, total of 9 points spend but most of those points are for pathing, and I'm now running discipline on mana and Clarity on life, I don't use any mana flask. I, do agree that I've overvalued duration to a point. Just ran a map without, was bit slower. it would clear first pack but not second, and It does hurt the ability to offscreen, I think just one duration wheel would be fine. for now i'm still going use both, its just hard to replace and i feel safer with it. |

" Got chest for 3ex and helm for 2ex. " No need for maligaros. Winds of Change are decent for hp build, they would be ok here just makes it harder to find resists/es else were. |

" If you have mana issues give a try, it helps a lot. Also Jewels with reduced Mana are a good option. " I´m Lifebased and use Winds of Change and love them, befor i got them i used FAcebreaker which gave me much more paper-dps. Both are good for dps if you can handel your Ressi. Maligaros give lesser dps then Facebreaker (for me with powercharges up). |

I'm using this build level 83 atm, clearing fast and around 7k EHP. I like it alot this is my current gear (base as on daggeers doesnt matter for whirlingblades im pretty sure only %AS on the roll itself) also since I have perma onslaught I find it fast enough.
I took out faster proj and put in controlled destruction it doubled my dps. Im at 37k in town with no 20% gems and no level 20 gems. Around 62k with charges up and auras. At 20/20 ill be around 80k with 5L |

How are you generating endurance charges with this build?
