@@kyuzo26All your damage comes from Shadow Daggers - converting the Umbral Blades damage to cold just gives you chill chance. You're converting maybe 10% of your DPS to cold, the other 90% comes from SD.
My first time playing Last Epoch and this was my first buld. Zooming through the monoliths. Very fun and beginner freindly build with awesome website (maxroll) to refer to as you level up. Thanks McFluffin!
The linked Maxroll guide talks about taking Wound Maker to deal with crit avoid monos, but the passive trees in the guide don't take Wound Maker. You'd need to move 15 passives to max out Wound Maker, though it probably doesn't need to be maxed - 50% chance seems like it should be enough since you'll hit at least 4 times before proccing Shadow Dagger anyway, so that's a 6% chance that on your first proc you haven't yet applied crit vuln and a .2% chance for the second proc. So call it 10 passives. What would you move?
The written explanation under Smoke Bomb talks about the "knives in the dark" and "eroding fumes" passives even though the actual tree doesn't have those passives allocated. Since the tree and video explanation don't reference those passives I assume that this is an oversight or was relevant pre-nerf. Can the explanation under smoke bomb be removed or updated? It was a bit confusing reading the guide as a new player. Thank you for the content and amazing guide otherwise!
Couldn't find anything related to extra points on Umbral blades. I got an item which gives me 3 additional levels, what other points should I take on umbral blades at skill level 23?
Hey buddy, maybe you can help me out. The "cinder strike" ability does more damage than any other Bladedancer ability. But nobody uses it. Why? I was looking forward to the mastery class abilities and then I realized that the old base skill still does a lot more damage and the killspeed works better with it.
Hi, I'm following this guide on Maxroll and it's absolutely insane how fun and effective it was to level and start doing Monoliths. There's a part in the guide where you mention not having to worry about Critical Strike Avoidance thanks to Wound maker, but the passive tree only goes 5 points into Marksman. Did you find that putting more points into Falconer was a better overall gain or do you still think it's worth 11+ points in Marksman? This is my second Last Epoch character after a Void Cleave/Erasing Strike VK and now I'm afraid I can't enjoy any other build as much as this one! Thank you for putting the resources together!
Just to let you know, the passives in the video is not the same as Maxroll. I don't know if it's just because you haven't gotten around to correcting it yet.
There are also some weird differences within the guide on Maxroll as well. Such as blessing being different when you look at the build right next to the introduction as opposed to looking under blessings directly. Also the stats he chooses on the gear are changing and irritating such as: On the advanced tab the Katana has 175% Chance to shred armour on hit, than on the End Game tab it hast 140% stun chance? And then on the BIS tab it has 175% Chance to shred armour again..?
Hey are you sure about the idols? I'm checking ingame and the affix "of crumbling" says: increases duration of shred armour. There's another affix named "of corrosion" that increases effect of shred armour but it's not avaiable on that type of idol.. (been searching on merchant guild)
which one is updated one ? your maxroll build and video have Differences ty for video im really enjoying build other shadow dagger builds cast umbra even it procs shadow dagger idk what's the pt i can do anything without it . It get easier once i got " weaver dagger and multi off hand "

Hey MC! I was wondering if there are patch notes for next cycle. Also wanted to know if there are any chances to the build. I've just started playing the blade dancer SD and it seems very fun so far (level 70)
Patch notes typically are released two days before the patch, so likely the 7th. There will almost certainly be some changes, but we won't have that info until after we get the notes.
people need to learn how to read and listen ignore the hate thank you for the guide, very helpful and detail JUST 1 FAVOR: please make 1 build guide without the Wings Armour, imho I dont want to use a gear which just 1 statt benefit me thank you and best luck!
Yes,I love my Bladedancer right now and still lvling like crazy and I must say, of all my lvl99-100 char, this Bladedancer feels to be the easiest and ofc, the FASTEST!!! So your tip to make me get lvl cap is necessary and Im looking forward to it. Best game so far and we DO not miss D3 (only 1500h wasted and my 1250h on LE is making it up cuz Im enjoying it more) and we didnt buy into the "scam" D4 looks to be(pay to Win) Ty and see u soon! :D
Dont shadow daggers scale with melee damage? in that case why do we need throwing damage and - throwing mana cost if we dont even use umbral blades outside of the shadows?
im using the loot filter from the guide on the video but i dont know why im keeping the items that do show can some1 explain it to me, pref some1 that has the same loot filter from this video
At first I thought this is so speed that's awesome, damage, tanky? And then I find out you don't really hit anything, you don't directly engage with anything...you just run and dash My god that sucks so hard, even if it's godly damage or super speed I`m playing an arpg to slash, punch, bash, shoot, swing swords really fast or really hard I was hooked for a second but it's definitely not for me and I hope the game opens up more options for more traditional mechanics, more rip and tear and less conditional damage dealing
the speed is great, but the clear seems really lackluster. a lot of enemies just stay behind without getting killed. Is this the purpose to just hunt rare enemies?
Idk why he doesnt use umbral blades on his ability and use more blades to clear more. Also when you come to beefy/rare enemies that dont die quickly, youre supposed to use the synchronized strike ability to kill them. I also put 1 ability point into the umbral blade ability that makes the blades slowly move towards enemies, getting better clears
This build was updated with the nerf to Shadow Daggers in place. Everything that is said in the guide still stands.
McFluff is love the build but the moment I convert my damage to cold in the skill tree i lose tremendous damage. What am i doing wrong ?
@@kyuzo26 Ya same here, feels significantly weaker. I am lvl 85 too have exactly the same gear as the guide
So what did u do ? Remove the cold damage ?

Would like to know as well@@kyuzo26

I am so hyped, hopefully the servers are prepared for 10x the population then normal, otherwise good night
The problem is that if you play this build, how can you play any other build after ?
You will be slower, kill faster, seem weaker overall
same , I played this build in 0.9 it's too smoooooooth
I can't play other build any more
Why no investment in the duelist passive? Does the damage not apply to shadow daggers?
it does apply to shadow daggers

Given how strong this was in 0.9, even with the ~25% nerf to Shadow Daggers in 1.0 I'm sure it'll still be more than viable.
Man 3 LP Smokeweaver...I finally found my first 1LP after 850 hours of playtime.
With fast builds like this (I have it with playing warpath) how do you track what loot has dropped behind you? when its not unique/set piece
There is no joy with this type of builds. Just feeding you with meaningless adrenalin. Complately useless and not enjoyable.
@@salihyesilsancak6793 What you find not to be enjoyable could be someone else having the best time.

yes, it's super fast, but all the loots are left a screen behind. I can't let that happen.😶
in the visual showcase in the beginning you just ran and used your movement skill. thats it ?
thats the whole point of the build
which one is updated one ? your maxroll build and video have Differences
ty for video im really enjoying build other shadow dagger builds cast umbra even it procs shadow dagger idk what's the pt i can do anything without it .
It get easier once i got " weaver dagger and multi off hand "
The maxroll one is the most recently updated one. A webpage can be edited fairly quickly and easily, while a video would require another recording.
@@esportbets ty mate hard part about this , capping things without using idols
Blessings especially crit avoid problematic hard to get %68+ roll same for

Do umbral blades show dps correct? Or is there some other way to measure dps for shadow daggers?
Do you ever need to directly cast umbral blades? I feel like the answer is no but wanting to ask
@@jessiebrown-rn7kp you don't, but you can if you have some down time and arent worried about getting hit.
am i crazy or did you update the gear on the guide today
So mainly shadow daggers is the skill i should check on DPS at while comparing gear?
Going fast is cool but having to go back to look at loot makes me wanna no breathe
Where is the chilling of hack and slash? whats the reason of this rush?
Hmm the loot filter I copied from the site seems too generous? Its labelling Bow skills and acid flask for shattering...
How is your shift cooldown so low? I have Smoke Weaver and it's still 2.6s for me.
General question here: Does it matter which weapon is in your offhand and which one is in your main hand? it looks weird to me to have the katana left
It does not.
How high of corruption can this build push?
Falconer Blade dancer will be OP!!!!!!
So do you actually want to cast umbral blades?

Dont shadow daggers scale with melee damage? in that case why do we need throwing damage and - throwing mana cost if we dont even use umbral blades outside of the shadows?
Shadow Daggers have the Thrown tag.
Any reason not to just run double siphon of anguish?
are passive skills identical in the low life build?
I realized if I click on the low life build, it will transfer to the planner. thanks
can't find the loot filter link. it's not on maxroll for me
It is. Under the loot filter section there's two links.
@@McFluffinGaming does it not work on opera? It just opens to a large html script for me. I’ll look again. Thanks for the response!
@@BurZerkGuch you're meant to copy all the text on that page, then go on last epoch and click "paste clipboard contents" when making a new filter
Why Critical Chance not required?
I also find this irritating as you are stacking crit damage but crit chance is super low
@@HiveProjectedshadow daggers at 6 stacks always crits
This might be a noob question but what skill is that bonded to right click at 0:43 ?
That's the default melee attack
If you are just shifting through monos doesn't it mean that you are leaving a ton of loot behind ?
You are allowed to go back if you want. or go a bit slower. I do it all the time.
im using the loot filter from the guide on the video but i dont know why im keeping the items that do show can some1 explain it to me, pref some1 that has the same loot filter from this video
Most of the gear that got orange names are gear that should be salvaged (rune of shattering).
At first I thought this is so speed that's awesome, damage, tanky?
And then I find out you don't really hit anything, you don't directly engage with anything...you just run and dash
My god that sucks so hard, even if it's godly damage or super speed I`m playing an arpg to slash, punch, bash, shoot, swing swords really fast or really hard
I was hooked for a second but it's definitely not for me and I hope the game opens up more options for more traditional mechanics, more rip and tear and less conditional damage dealing
I really wanna try this build, but youre not actually killing anything :/
Yeah he goes back at one point and... nothing was killed? ^^

What about crit chance ? it's nowhere to be seen ?
That's because you dont need it. Shadow Daggers has 100% Critical Strike chance.
@@McFluffinGaming oh wow, I didn’t know that 💀
This build cannot run through 4 difficult of dungeons and max 500 corrupt.
Yes it can. I've done all of that, easily.

This build runs blood dance passive, 5% leech. Keep that damage uptime all the time
