Currently using Darkray's, but I'm considering moving to +1 Atziri's Steps when I link my QotF, 16% Spell Dodge, 70 life + 650Eva added onto Phase Acro + Phasing, and all the other benefits sounds pretty enticing.

I'd choose Atziri's Step over Darkray (life, high evasion, and permanent spell dodge yes please).

Rings Are Big WED/Flat Lightning, Life + Res?

Yep. Don't actively look for evasion on rings (I generally think it's a waste of a mod here). Accuracy's good too.

The one thing I've noticed with this build is because we travel so far on the tree, we have tons of spare attributes, they're barely needed on gear, if at all.

Except Intelligence. Wrath has a high requirement, and I wouldn't be able to run it without my Onyx amulet.

On jewels, I assume because we're stacking so much evasion through gear/flasks/passives that taking %Eva is a better trade-off than an extra damage prop? I guess 18% is 3/4 of a notable, so probably the most value on a jewel. Plus the Offence + Defence factor too.

I like evasion + life because it makes for a more well-rounded character, but you could do fine and ultimately deal more damage if you manage to get life and three damage mods instead.

100 fuse.

Now to scrounge the 2500 chromes for 1G, 2R, 3B.

Hi there, pretty sure I'm missing something important here but I have to ask: Why elemental damage??? We have two physical weapons and you're not even using conversion (phys to lightning). It doesn't make sense to me... Probabaly a stupid question and I'm sorry but if you could answer I'd be gratefull. Thanks!

Nice! That beats my record.

The physical value on Dreamfeather isn't great and doesn't scale as well as elemental (or chaos) damage. Lightning Strike converts some of that physical damage, otherwise it's just a little bonus on top of the elemental.

Updated for 2.5 and the Blade Flurry crowd.

Ill try a variety of this build on my BF assassin. Cool idea!

Sweet, have fun! Just be aware that elemental attack builds that don't double dip (ignite) aren't as powerful as poison/bleed builds in the current meta. And, despite all the life I take on the tree and through jewels, I "only" have about 6k life, which unfortunately isn't great these days in high tier maps no matter your other defenses when you're melee.

Would Wild Strike work with this build?

Sure. You can use Wild Strike, it's just not the best option.

By the way, I haven't been playing this build lately because poison (chaos-based) builds have surpassed it in clear speed, plus life-based evasion builds are sketchy in this meta. If you want lightning, HoWA is the way to go.
