Curse

Hey everyone,

I've recently signed up on the forums, but have been using them for a long time.

This may sound sad, but due to having Shiro's blades and never having done anything with them, I feel inclined to actually create a vampiric build, but I'm stumped as to where to start.

I'm guessing that it may need to be A/Mo, or a different proffesion but take a different set of daggers.

Here's my thoughts:

Way of the Assassin [elite]
Critical Eye
Way of Perfection(Not sure if its entirely neccessary here)

And then I'm not too sure of what to add. I'm not particularly worried if i need to go down the mending route as I can make up for the energy loss with my elite and Critical eye.

Thanks guys

p.s. purely because I love the skn of Shiro's Blades, I know vanity can be so stupid

DEAR GOD!!! MENDING!!!

seriously, stay away

and don't go crit daggers, use an attack chain, much more effective

if you want to go critspam use a different weapon (scythe or bow comes to mind)

just use your normal build, vampiric adds damage.

technically, it's life stealing

lol thanks guys, I thought I'd have that response about mending^.^

So just take any normal build, or has someone got a proposed one? I'm guessing Death Blossom would be a wise choice?

Thanks again

Take two pair of daggers: a zealous and a vampiric pair.

Sage Sanctus · Apr 01, 2008, 10:51 AM // 10:51

Ok, thanks for that Pyro, and everyone else

jonnieboi05 · Apr 01, 2008, 02:22 PM // 14:22

yep. needless to say, vamp is a 'sins left hand, and, zealous is a 'sins.... well..... hehehe... use you imagination for what zealous is for a sin. xD

Try to carry a pair without any form of degen as well. Most people would recommend Ebon. Helps no end against Warriors too.

It is certainly not bad to carry it, however I think it's redundant. zealous doesn't give you an disadvantage outside of battle (+3 or +4 regen /care).
About the warriors, with the low base damage of the daggers and the fact that most mobs are 4-5 levels above you, you won't notice a difference.
Still, daggers and elemental mods are cheap. If you like, carry an extra pair.

Weaponswaps are leet.
Go for a defensive set (Sword, Shield) for an off-spike set.

Sage Sanctus · Apr 01, 2008, 05:57 PM // 17:57

Kk, thnx guys youve really helped=)

ill keep a zealous pair and the vampiric with me and get my hands on an elemental pair

craigrs84 · Apr 02, 2008, 12:38 AM // 00:38

id have to disagree, i see no reason to use zealous daggers in this case. take an ebon pair like they said. zealous just hinders your energy regen if you are not using it as your primary dagger set.

Sage Sanctus · Apr 02, 2008, 09:06 AM // 09:06

I've always found that, although not very often, I have more energy problems when not using a zealous pair.

zealous takes away 1 pip (1 energy per 3 seconds) and adds 1 energy on every hit (roughly 1,5 energy per second with 14 dagger mastery and a 33% IAS)
This is only, of course, when you hit everything.

Tyla · Apr 02, 2008, 05:20 PM // 17:20

Switch out of your Zealous set while not attacking or doing anything to stop the energy regen reduction...?

Sir Pandra Pierva · Apr 07, 2008, 08:25 PM // 20:25

zelous are good when just attacking on a person to get energy back

yea the only dagger's i would get is shiros... and realized that it is completely useless... so i just went the alternate route and made a/d with tengu scythe (that thing is huge)
