Fun, Fast & Unique Marksman Monolith Farmer. 300+ Corruption. T4 Viable.
EDIT: This build got nerfed with 1.0.
Shadow Daggers - Now has 68 base damage (from 90) and 340% added damage effectiveness (from 450%).
is a powerful Rogue signature skill/ailment, especially used by Bladedancers. You love bow builds as much as i do? Let's make Marksman strong again!
For this build we try to apply as many Shadow Daggers stacks as possible with an efficient synergy between 's , which has the ability to shotgun with 2 additional Puncture arrows, and 's for both additional damage and mana sustain.
Why is shotgunning so great with this setup? Let's say we want to proc 3 Shadow Daggers with Puncture on an enemy. With the regular single arrow Puncture it takes 12 shots, with only 4 if all projectiles can hit the target. Most bosses or in general high hp monsters have a huge hitbox, so we pretty much permanently benefit from it.
This build technically works without any uniques and non-legendary gear but i would highly recommend to get as soon as possible. Each additional point of Dexterity will provide 6.8 flat cold damage for Shadow Daggers (3.4 melee cold + 3.4 throwing cold) because of Shadow Daggers' 340% added dmg effectiveness. So this build both scales Physical and Cold Melee+Throwing damage.
will complete this builds' concept with an additional and charge and the ability to deal more damage while helping out with the high mana cost from .
