i believe its lvl 42 or something with circlet... might be 41, i'll check when i get home from work. why? a few pts here and there wont change much would it?

its lvl 39-40 last time i checked with gface build

ps, if ur thinkin about replacing the 32020s w/ shadows, i've considered it and its not worth it. u lose WAY too much AR and damage and life (even if it gets me 1% more CS)

i've also tested 3x 132/45s instead of the 9x 32020s. again, the loss of life and max damage (it was like 200 on screen damage or something) was a huge turn off - especially since i get "decent" AR already (however, i do carry extra 3x in stash for when i have to face high def guys)

EDIT: the most annoying thing right now is that i cant get 50% DR in my sin v sin setup with gface (im stuck at 49%) - however, thats cuz my fools claw isnt "optimized" yet... with a claw that has 300+ damage/ias/2+ sin skills, i'd be able to do not only more damage but get my needed DR as well.

Meh.... 1.5-2k AR > 1% chance more for CS (since my AR is only 7.2k AR)

I already have 37% DS (Highlords) + 23% CS (20 pts Claw mastery) atm, i dont think 1% more CS will help much

when i switch to gface, i gain an additional 15% to DS so if i build around the more shadow gcs, it'd kinda of be a waste for my sin v sin switch

im just wondering thats all
if it was only one point off you could change 3x 32020 for 20/36's and replace 3x 32020 with a shadow
life would be slightly lower ar slightly higher and dmg slightly higher with the extra CS

hm.... thats a decent point.... i might have to check that one. i forgot to consider 36/20s haha

but even if that were true.... do u think 1% extra would really do anything more or would it be safer to just go with 9x max damage (which i think is ~50-100 on screen damage 100% of the time more)

im still kinda leaning towards the "safe/guaranteed" damage route... kidna like how diamond/shadow bow hits less damage than gmb, but its overall average is higher kinda deal

imo a 1% chance of dealing twice as much dmg is > a slight dmg boost that will always be aplied
1% more crit would beat the dmg race vs 9max and make up for the 15 life lost imo
but ofc only if its the case
dont know if its worth replacing more than 3x3/20/20 to reach this 1 % --> depends on the difference at the point of dmg between shadow and 3/20/20 on your build

yea u deff bring up a good point. i will check when i go home. if i only need to replace 1x shadow, i would, but if more than 1... the trade off might not make it worth it anymore.

o btw, did you end up changing ur ghost away from gores? haha

ps what level is 24% CS?
