I spent a lotttt of time grinding to get this character where it is only to find out that it can barely clear glad cruc solo. I did in fact manage to do it once, but it required 4 buffs and 2 towers. 4! Without any buffs or towers it doesn’t survive past 154, and I can’t figure out why. It has the damage, the OA, the rr, the crit, the ADCtH, and the DA, yet kuba will slap my shit everytime. Hell with 4 buffs and 2 towers I had to kite kuba forever on 170. He and archmage are the only 2 nemesis that can actually kill me, but they always show up and I can never deal with them without buffs. I feel like my lifesteal just outright doesnt work sometimes and i get 0 health back when hitting enemies. Is 10% + Ghoulish Hunger somehow not enough? I need a way to get this character to consistently clear 170 with only a buff/tower or two.
Probably because 1.1.0 nerfs
What got nerfed exactly? I checked the notes, saw enemies got a lifesteal buff in crucible which sucks big time, but I didn’t see any nerfs to the korba set or any nightblade/shaman skills.
EDIT: nevermind I see some changes, doesn’t look like much though, and nothing that would affect my survivability.
Well, this look extreamly squishy and dps output is so low, that you cant kill stuff fast enough. Either make it tanky or increase dmg output so you can oneshot stuff. Make sure you cap slow resist. Make sure you have at least 3k armor. Make sure to cap Dual blade line for phyz resist. Use a conduit or Iscandras amulet for extra %max resistance.
Don`t stand in fumble poo(ls)
What do you mean low dps? This is probably the highest dps character I have ever made, is 400k crit not good enough?
Its enough on dummy, Sadly, your dps drop to near-zero when you are slowed/trapperd/stunned/pertified. Or run away cause every piece of trash hit you for 1/2 of life.
ok well then how do i change this build for that to not happen while maintaining my damage output? I don’t have any room in my skills gear or devotions for more armor or obscure resistances.
I can’t post my build because I’m new on the forums, but hopefully this will still help.
I think part of the problem is your devotions. I don’t think any of the devotions on the bottom right of the constellation map are worthwhile for this build. Hawk, Toad and Rhowan’s Crown.
I really like having Twin Fangs on the blade spirit, as it gives me some good health on attack on a regular basis. Also, having Revenant spawning skeletons helps keep some of the trash mobs off me and allows me to focus more on bosses.
I also highly recommend the Mythical Chausses of Barbaros pants if you can get them. They really make your damage output and armor go way up once they proc.
So you are saying that RR, Lifesteal and OA/crit are useless for this build?
I am curious to hear your reasoning behind that statement.
I was joking with the 1.1.0 patch nerfs was the reason for why your build sucks.
You have very low crowd controll resistances
have you looked at mad_lee’s korba trickster build?
All right, took a look at your grimtools, a lot of things could be improved. Will post a Crucible Gladiator compatible link a bit later.

Erm… wrong quote? 
Changed a few things, perhaps this will help, though I don´t play Crucible.
Yes it was completely wrong quote ^^ I am A n00b
Korba is the RoS set. Max RoS. The rest is a sidenote.
If you’re not maxing Dual Blades Iceskorn gloves are better than Hagarrad, same with Alkamos rings - blue ones MIGHT be better here (not sure). You might be overplaying pierce to cold conversion here, you don’t really have that much pierce to convert, it’s not a runefiltrator. OR, get that Dual Blades up and invest more in wps.
And a thousand small things. Veil of Shadow not softcapped. Odd rank number on Shadowdance. Overinvested Elemental Awakening. Execution not maxed. The Chillspike component. Prismatic Diamond is a no-brainer on the head imo (especially now). Weird pants (Tranquil Mind comes to mind, or Kuba Chausses if you can’t magic the res, or simply Barbaros). Squeezing Sanctified Bone would be nice for the res and racial. And Seal of Annihilation is a no-brainer.
It’s all my personal opinion ofc and some of it might be arguable. Also, I think skill is important. Tricksters are strong but… tricky.
I mean I would love to do all those things, but if I do I won’t have enough resists. If I had chaos resist yes I’d rather choose a seal of ann over a black tallow or a diamond over sacred plating. But where else am I gonna get the resists from? No that was not rhetorical.
All right, this should do the trick. Craft gloves and helmet at Angrim.
Could use x2 bloodied crystal component instead of runebound topaz now 
I will definitely attempt this when I get home today, but looking at it immediately, is the bleed resistance not going to be a problem? You also removed blizzard; understandable, but that seems like a big dps loss. I also noticed you left my attributes exactly the same, I have potions to respec them so if there is a better way to distribute for this build I can.
you have buffs in cruci, bleed resistance 80% is not an issue, plus GrimTools shows average rolls so your (sick sick sick) green boots might have higher or lower than 40% bleed res in game.
