Gear

Strong Dagger with increased damage and crit chance/damage
Shield with high evasion and life or mana leech
stack resist, crit chance, crit damage, and evasion
Chaos resist is great because it will cut down the damage for blood rage

Guide

This build uses high evasion to buy time to build Frenzy Charges then destroy the opposition by spamming flicker strike with high crit chance/ damage.

Flicker offers some survivability in its self by constantly jumping from enemy to enemy making it hard for them to land a hit on you, Life Leech increases this exponentially. While Mana Leech helps offset the Mana intensity of the skill. I currently don't use Clarity because the mana leech gives me all the mana I need but this may change depending on gear. You may also want to swap out Mana leech or for Melee Splash which isn't a bad idea I'm just not a fan of it. Maybe because I don't have a high quality version of it.

You'll Notice I didn't include any auras in this build. This doesn't mean I don't recommend them. I just Didn't feel like including them. If you plan to using them I would recommend Hatred because of the % damage increase, Grace for higher Evasion, or any of the resist auras. I wouldn't recommend Vitality because it won't even offset the damage caused by Blood Rage, but it will slow it down. If you're having trouble dying from Blood Rage you may want to try this aura or just be more cautious when you use it.


Combat-
1. Cast Critical Weakness
2.Use Frenzy till you start taking lethal damage or you have full Frenzy Charges
3.Hold down Flicker Strike to heal and put of a lot of damage
4.You can stop and cast Blood Rage if you start running out of Frenzy Charges too early (not recommended if against elite mobs or higher)
5.If anything is left alive use Spectral throw or Frenzy to finish it off
