I played this build in its Lightning damage, without the mana/more damage node and I can do a looot of damage. The down time doesn't feel too bad and I could still get a few more items, yet, I'm unsure if it's better than the Shadow Dagger or not. Visually, I wanted more of lightning/void build, but the cascade procs feels good to watch. I'm mitigated. I think I do a lot more damage per Mirage if I use shadows, but half as much if I don't
@@PerrythePig I totally agree that it's a huge letdown that the necrotic conversion doesn't work. I'm playing a fire version of it right now and manage to get crits of 100k on the dummy (and I got the poison damage affix on the sword haha). Would be interesting to see what you could come up with!
Huh, does the mana per shadow from shadow cascade work? I thought all shadows were consumed by lethal mirage so I never bothered testing, but this is very interesting. I'm doing the max lightning damage version (but low life so at least somewhat experimental), and mana is very much in demand. Back to the drawing board I guess:D
they get consumed from Shadow Cascade if you have that spec'ed in your Shift. If you're looking for single target, you want those shadows to be consumed by Lethal Mirage, which in turn doesn't grant mana. I think I got mixed up during the video.
@@PerrythePig ah ok, I figured i was missing something since I could just about break even on mana with the LM shadow creation nodes but not much more than that. I really enjoyed this video btw, it was cool to see you break down multiple possible builds for a single items like this. Also BBC jokes.
is there any reason why you choose to ignore foot of the mountain in this build? Given that build can easily get 800 flat dodge, you easily get 800 endurance threshold. Since your play-style originally focused on stand-still and melee with puncture, I am pretty sure black blade of chaos is specific designed for you to be played as either bleed build to spam lethal build where entire build is centered around the attack function as pseudo basic attack. In other words, the entire strength of this weapon is based around text where you restore cooldown per melee swing thereby negating the need to build cooldown reduction. I think shift play-style is suppose to be used for OTHER unique dagger that most people forgot about called fulnerite shard dagger which convert your lethal into lightning automatically. It also convert shurikens to lightning damage and if you look at the nodes in shift, there are specific node to use shurikens. The weapons also come with cooldown reducation so I am almost certain that play-style is more oriented around building T7 cooldown. if your build it as 1 build that does massive damage to 1 shot, chaos blade is pointless. you want best, biggest weapon possible to do most damage. likely best weapon to go for is Event Horizon which this massive 2 handed mace that 100 LP that just has crazy bonuses to juice your LM to the moon. so you just build a ton of shadows, juice up with EH and then 1 shot everything. So in summary, i think what this weapon is suppose specialize is running mp regen and T7 melee attackspeed. The goal here is to build as much mp regen and as many attack per second to refresh lethal to stack bleed to the moon. that is likely what Dr3ad was thinking when he saw this weapon. The other way is likely to build T7 melee critical chance and Crit muti alongside dext and take backstab node which increases LM crit chance by 6% for -1 hit. Now you no longer need shift and are no longer gated by shift cooldown and therefore, you can completely ignore cooldown as statistic for LM. The only thing you have to worry about is mana. it should theory just turn LM into nearly a spammable basic attack.
Uhm, lethal mirage is basically spammable with a decent roll on the cooldown stat on BBC, no need for any other cooldown suffixes. Mana is an issue though.
@@elbjornbjorn he is not building cooldown for LM in BBC. he's building cooldown for Shift so he can get 100% critical bonus for LM but i think entire point of BBC is to NOT need to build cooldown because every melee attack restores portion of its cooldown. that is why dr3ad first impression was to play bleed because LM tree gives you 300% bleed chance for pressing the skill. I think regardless whether your playing bleed version or raw damage version, you'll always be taking those nodes related to flat dodge for the skill on BBC build.
@@dodang_9147 Ah ok, I get you now. Yeah that would probably make sense. I still feel like shift is so powerful that you want to keep the CD low anyways, there are some powerful nodes for bleed as well. Regarding the flat dodge node, I agree completely, it's awesome. I tried removing it yesterday to experiment a bit and all of the sudden trash mobs were killing me.
@@elbjornbjorn yeah but i think being able to spam twice as many LM because not waiting for Shift should in theory outpace stats for shift. i made rogue this season and i was going to play rogue to find out whether bleed stacking or raw damage was better for LM but since season reset on 19th which is 14 days from now, it is not worth building this season until update reset happens.
you ave insane mobility and it's your survivability. Idk why talking about negatives and don't taking on table how much survivability mobility gives you. i guess you know little less about games like this and doesn't understand well how balance works.
Great video and great format. Showing the lay of the land for the item is really useful for me, as a cooker
Glad you enjoyed it!
Interesting build. Thanks for showing the aberroth kill
thank you for planner
when perry makes an entire build just for a thumbnail

Very good video, tks!!
Any loot filter?
Would you do the same type of build experiment with Spine of Malatros? Thanks for the content!
take a look at this video: ua-cam.com/video/TZK88qmTshU/v-deo.html
