2.3 Fakener (budget fake Mjölner) build - Trickster Version

Tried to update some trees for 2.2 and give my thoughts on Ascendancy choices.
No clear winner but I think I'd go Scion Berserker/Assassin.

You think assassin would work? Cyclone is doing some damage => decreasing mobs hp from full life, so crit multi wouldnot work.

This is a really good point...

Not sure if the scion is a good idea than^^


Edit:

Do you guys think this build is viable from league start on? I really do not feel like leveling a 2nd char, just am not sure IF it would work from 0 equipment

I am probably going for trickster, since we have a lot of damage already. 0 cost on movement skills and some nice defences for ES+Evasion. Also a shit ton of attack speed.
U can do basically whatever you want:
cyclone+added fire+increased critical
cyclone+coc+arc+incresed critical
Maybe swaping trickster for assassin later on

Inquisitor is a really good choice for DEEPS

It seems like Assassin isn't the most popular choice because we can already get plenty of crit chance and power charges. That being said, if you go for Assassin, would it be possible to use something like Marylene's Fallacy?
imo trickster is the best option... first of all you wont need elron rings anymore... secondly you will get a really hughe buff es wise... + attack speed/movement speed etc...
im still undecided on what class to go for between trickster or inquisitor.

are elreon rings that big of a pain in the ass? because inquisitor seems like a huge dmg boost against bosses and high res enemies. also, how does this build get defense? blasphemy+curses? running blasphemy+warlords+assassins mark or elemental weakness might be good.

You know, there is Elemental Equilibrium, I think -50% res is enough.

I think for Scion the best option is going to be berzerker+slayer, so you can Leech for days, but I am going for trickster anyway

hmmm thats a good point. the free leech from berzerker and having slayer will be real good. ugh, so hard to choose. so if i do go trickster, that means i can get better rings and not deal with mana. what does that give me? more dmg on cyclone? do i need that? itll make gearing easier and cheaper, but still. hmm... dmg wise, its probably not the best, that would still lie with inquisitor or scion, or assassin if your gear is crappy.

i also need to check out what flasks there are. berserker+pathfinder could be decent if theres a flask that we can just keep up all the time, but always stun on full enemy life+15% increase AS for more crits/dps probably wotn be beat.

Trickster is for 100% mana reservation and many defences and attack speed and movement speed on full es.

If you want for damage I think inquisitor is the best choice, free 100% increased critical is very good.
