Assassin perks don't look great for this build.

Full life effect ruined by vortex.
Low life effect is negligible, the enemy was going to die soon anyways.
Power charge on non-crit is worthless b/c vortex.
DoT stuff is worthless
Bleeding/poison/maim? sounds worth little.

So the only good one is crit multiplier per power charge + base crit chance.

Templar inquisitor and Witch Elementalist look good for this build, though. Trickster, though, to answer your question.

I respectfully disagree. Inquisitor as well as elementalist are really not that outstanding in terms of utility AND damage. The crit multi of the assasin does probably more damage than all damage nodes from I or E ... and the base crit with 7 power charges up is also quite high (I'd even say that they gonna "nerf" those numbers prerelease because they seem really strong). Trickster is a viable option if you wanna focuse on more defensive perks.

There's btw a change coming to the increased critical strikes gem to adress the issue with controlled destruction. That might also change a few things.

The real question is whether all this crit and crit multi from assasin is even needed. It is pretty easy to reach a very high crit chance and its also quite easy to scale crit multi as well (for example with facebreaker). Thats the reason why I would choose the trickster. It gives you a lot of defensive properties. 250 ES with Shade forms and Swift killer +1 frenzy are ridiculous. Drop EE and squeeze a second curse like elemental weakness into the build and its gonna be equally strong in terms of damage but with way more survivability.

And you wanna skip walk the aether? Looks great have not to worry about mana, you can run double curse with disc, looks a lot better to me

I have no mana issue with double curse right now (with two elreon rings) and clarity. So yes I would run it without it... but you can easily drop swift killer and switch into walk the aether;)

Any tips how to kill trio on atziri? I don't have problem with duo, when i killed trio i didn't have problem with atziri, but trio kill me almost in every run. I got 1838 life (after clarity) and 3318 es (with discipline) My resists are 74%, 79%, 83% and chaos -30%.

also, which shield is better in ur opinion?

with spirit shield i have 1000 es more, but Saffel's have block chance applied to spells.

Low life for being HYBRID and probably no chaos ress, i suggest u to go CI.

On the shield side: i use ES shield for the whole cleaning + vaal / trio, then swap to Saffel at Atziri (5200ES at CI with saffel, more than enough)

what jewels do you use?

OK, i can clear atziri, i just didn't have enough skill. Now after couple of run i know which skills and when i need to use. Build is awesome. Here is my gear, i need to change boots for better ES.

You got a 6L Voll's and the Amulet but you dont even have quality on your chest and flasks...
Also get max implicit roll on those diamond rings and get a better dagger. Skeans are the best base type and multimod that.

Would it be detrimental in any way to have cold damage to attacks on say your ring, as well as having cold damage to spells on your dagger? I'm not entirely clear on the interaction would work.

I understand that each successive hits will reset EE and overwrite each other, so I suppose as long as BV is going at a reasonable pace, having cyclone and BV both available to trigger fire/lightning EE would be beneficial. Discharge cannot be cast without first being triggered by a crit from cyclone first, and with BV stacks also applying EE to mobs at a quick pace, this could only be beneficial as you would constantly have EE up, weakening mobs to fire/lightning res for big deeps on discharge. Am I correct in my assumptions or am I missing something glaringly obvious?

Here are the two versions i've been playing the whole Talisman League, after many optimizations they've come to a FINAL stage.

I would suggest everyone that want to play this kind of CoC Discharge builds to play a CI version. I didn't tried Uber with this yet, but got some ppl that done it already.

The LowLife version was just an experiment (too expensive, got a mirror of kalandra droped some weeks ago so had some EXish to throw at it), ended up being my Uber farmer xD

NOTE: if you want the build works as they do for me you have to follow the links aswell

Is it a good idea to put energy from within under melding with this build?
