claw Shadow lightning strike question

Hi, i would like to get some advice about my build. If something is wrong with it or if its pretty good late game. I am currently lvl 25 dual wielding claws going for lightning strike, clarity, dual strike and the viper hit thingy. (not sure) iI have also tried elemental / lighting based claw Shadow and its pretty good with its mobility and aoe attacks but since i found out lightning strike ases on physical i switched to this build

Let me know what you think pls ! :)

I personally think it's pretty bad for a few reasons but firstly I'll post a remake of you build that saves points by simply getting to things differently.


Okay now how to make it better.

Firstly you shouldn't plan on using that many points at most I would say 91 points and that's kinda pushing it.

Secondly you don't need lightning dmg! Yes that's right those lightning dmg nodes are wasted sure you'll be using LS but you shouldn't get those instead you should be focusing on physical and crit nodes especially as a claw shadow.

Thirdly at the start those projectile nodes would be better placed into physical as physical would effect both single target and aoe moves.

Fourthly with the change I made to the skill tree the points spent into elemental status ailments can be better placed into the other spot for the same effect except greater then what you had.

Fifthly you health is low! But with the change to the skill tree you have the option to get 2 very good sections of health that should not be missed out on.

Sixthly at the start you skipped over a res node that would give you 10 res and some other stuff for only 2 nodes. I recommend getting this as your not getting res from a shield so getting some extra res from the skill tree would help especially in the later difficulty's.

Well this should help you enough that you can go back to the drawing board and come up with something new and better! I hope to see your new and improved build!

Edit: I thought I should throw this in here while I'm at it lightning strike converts 50% of your physical dmg to lightning dmg so 1 lightning node will effect the lightning part of the dmg but a physical node would effect both parts.

Edtit2: I'll post a link to POE's wiki so you know what effects LS ect..http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Lightning_Strike

thanks so much for the reply! i appreciate it! it helped me so much understand more about projectiles with lightning strike. i did a remake or (a quickie) befire i head home but just tell me if its better. & probbaly will end up contacting you more about it later! sorry if i keep asking!

this is not the final where i read through it with the knowledge you have given me. but will sure do redo this! thanks again for your time!

After taking a quick look over your build that you made on the spot I should tell you that getting evasion nodes with IR isn't ideal as for example say you have a piece of armor that has 130 evasion and 130 armor evasion nodes will only help the evasion so it would be say a random number of now 160 evasion and 130 armor due to evasion nodes adding up to 290. Now if you got armor nodes on the other hand it would go something like this 130 evasion 130 armor with IR is 260 armor then the armor nodes would take effect increasing the 260 to an unknown amount.

So knowing that it might not be the best idea to go out of your way to pick up evasion nodes as armor nodes have a greater effect.
