[2.5][Assassin]Dual DoT Kondo's Pride Crit Build [HC/SC] Atziri/Uber lab/T16 viable

Hello everyone

This build is about utilizing the new unique Kondo's Pride,
which seems being hugely underestimated.



It could easily crush monsters up to T15 with gears worth 1 ex total or less.
Which makes it a very budget and newbee friendly build.

Pros&Cons

Pros:
Super strong DPS. Killing Atziri/Izaro/T15 bosses within few seconds.
Budget friendly. Dont need expensive gears to work.
Safe and easy to play as a totem build.
Scaling damage with gears and levels very well.

Cons:
A little squishy just like all 2h build.
Need more investment to make it tanker(Kaom's Heart or CI)



Mechanic explaination


Kondo's Pride is a unique 2h swords introduced in 2.4.
The pDPS ranges from 430-473 ,which is quite decent.
However,the truly shining part of this baby is the unique ability:
Causes Bleeding on Melee Critical Strike.

It makes it possible to cause bleeding with every melee skill,
even without voidheart/chance to bleeding passives.

Combines with Noxious Strike which poison bleeding enemy,
It could apply Dual-DoT.

As everyone know in last league,bleeding/poison gives sick damage because of 2dip.
And we are applying dots with critical hits,which is already huge numbers in the first place.
To makes it crazier,Toxic Delivery deals 100% [MORE] poison and bleeding damage.
The damage here is truly skyrocketed.

Mods we need:

damage/totem damage/aoe damage/critical chance/criticl multiplier/attack speed

These are the expensive stuffs which almost everyone needs.
The good news is we can also use some very niche mods:
2h weapon damage/sword damage/2h critical chance/2h critical multiplier/2h attack speed

As there are very few people playing 2h crit build,
I successfully got a few 4 damage mods jewel with 5c or cheaper.

FAQ

Q:Is Atziri's Disfavour better than Kondo's in this build?

A:Atziri's Disfavour IS better than Kondo's but the difference is very merginal.
A prefect rolled Kondo's has (256.2+474.6)/2=365 DPH*1.25 APS,
a prefect rolled Disfavour has (314+421)/2=367 DPH*1.39 APS.

The DPH are almost same.Disfavour gets more damage due to the higher APS.
But as bleeding cannot be stacked,APS would not matter so much in our dot build.

The APS,+2 support gems and +2 range does help in clearing speed though.

Furthermore,A prefect rolled 6L Kondo's cost 4-6 ex,
and a prefect rolled 6L Disfavour would cost 100 ex.
A nearly prefected rolled 6L Disfavour would cost 20 ex.

*There is only 1 prefect rolled Disfavour on sale for 100ex in both ESC and SC .
(seems no one will sell max rolled Disfavour without 6L it)

N00b questions:

- does the melee damage on full life gem rely on the totem leeching life ? It's an unusual choice without Discipline or somesuch.
- what's the role of frost wall in the build ?

Thanks.

-Melee damage on full life gives the more damage bonus as long as you are full life yourself.
Totem life doesn't matter.

-frost wall is used to protect your totems(and yourself) from ranged attacks/spells.
As the warcheif totem has a 1s delay to start attack(the time ancestor takes to pop up),
it's very vulnerable in such situation that mobs could kill the totem before it starts slamming.
frost wall helps a lot there.

Its merely a QoL setting ,not a must.Though I found its very helpful in my gameplay.
Hey i am currently leveling up this build and wanted to know what you thought about going life with Belly of the Beast and Devoto's Devotion. I am planning on mainly using this build to farm uber lab. Any thoughts?


Also what order do you recommend taking Ascension nodes? Thanks
