----------------------------------------------
you can use claws or daggers till you get the claw passives (lvl32), then use only claws.
if you are Trickster, Flame wall will give some added fire damage for early game.
Shield Charge is another option if you don't like Whirling Blades.
Normal Lab: Gathering Winds
Cruel Lab: Ricochet
Merciless Lab: Endless Munitions
ACT 1
Cobra Lash + Added Cold + Added Lightning/Faster Attacks (depending on your socket colours)
Frostblink
Sniper's Mark
Whirling Blades + Faster Attacks if you have available socket, use this for extra movement speed
ACT 2
Cobra Lash + Added Cold + Trinity
Frostblink
Sniper's Mark
Whirling Blades + Faster Attacks + Momentum
Blood Rage
Herald of Ice
Precision
Make sure that you always have more accuracy than you maximum life for Precise Technique.
Also make sure that your Trinity buff is maxed on top left, if it's not, Lightning Damage craft should fix it.
On Lunaris Temple Level 2, get the crafting recipe for "Adds (1-4) to (32-36) Lightning Damage to Attacks" and craft it on your rings, amulet and weapon
Sell unID magic/rare items to get the transmutes you need, this will increase your damage a lot
Leave Precision at level 10, as you will have a lot of mana problems.
ACT 3
Cobra Lash + Added Cold + Trinity + Elemental Damage with Attacks
Frostblink
Sniper's Mark
Whirling Blades + Faster Attacks + Momentum
Blood Rage
Grace
Anger
Precision (not necessary if you have enough accuracy)
What bandits?
Always eramir(kill all). Build requires all passive points possible.
How do i fix mana cost of the build?
there are 3 ways to fix this:
1. Non-channeling on rings
2. Watcher's eye with Non-channeling
3. Reduced mana cost wheel
Try to avoid taking the wheel, only if you can't buy rings or Watcher's eye at that moment.
Dagger or Claw?
Dagger is good because you can get +50% projectile speed mastery which makes build feel better and dagger clusters have more damage overall. Claws are better on early-mid game.
What do I need to swap to ward?
you need Ynda's Stand, Nightgrip, Crafted Dagger and Body armour to start ward setup. Faithguard is a very good damage boost, but it might be expensive on league start.
Also, don't forget to change gems!

Medium Cluster Jewel
Harvest reforge caster till follow-through and repeater.
