Anyone got advices on what I should try to upgrade next? (playing an assassin shadow)

Hey Damier, any advices on my gear?

Thanks

Hallo Gorrath,

You are on standard so your itemiziation can be quite different to ours since you have access to legacy items (like your maligaro's, quiver and amulet' crit multipliers are). I dont know how the stats compare to each other precisely, so testing it out will be your task on this.

Anyway, some of your slots are simple to comment on and are the same as previously mentioned in other posts.

First of all, i dont see a real reason to use Qotf, it's a nice to have if you can stack incredible amounts of Evasion. Other than that, the life and the overall resists on it rather blows. You could think about getting a good assassins garb with 100+ (or even T1 with 110+) and 100-120+ Resists instead, any evasion above 1k is bonus. It will make it easier to get a decent lifepool and juggling your resists while choosing/gearing other slots.

I agree, the only reason I'm using QoTF is because I had one already and was too lazy to get something else since I was able to cap my resists anyway. I've been shopping for a new chest recently, was about to buy something with high life and 3 40+ resists and 1000ish evasion, but changed my mind and started looking for something with a bit less resists and about 2000 evasion. Those are damn expensive so haven't bought anything yet.

Quiver: Your Quiver seems strong to me due to the legacy Multiplier. The base is terrible, as are The Life(roll) and the fire damage. If you happen to run across an affordable spike point quiver (Crit base) with the forementioned stats in my previous post i think (i'm not 100% sure) you will get more damage. I can lend you my quiver on std. so you can compare the stats to yours:

True, but since I'm playing an Assassin, I can cap my crit chance when I'm at max power charges. More life would be nice though and if I upgrade my chest, I won't need the fire resist.

This is what i could share on std. with you to test it out:

Boots: Get T1 Life (80+), 30% MS (MS is crucial for us) and 100%+ overall resists. Also try to get the iAS or Lightning damage enchant depending on what you want to do with the build.

Yeah, more evasion would be nice as well, but it's starting to get expensive lol
Is the lightning damage really useful? It says: "If you haven't killed recently", that's not happening much lol
I'm not a huge fan of the labyrinth so haven't farmed it much, was thinking about getting the refelction enchant on my gloves and the IAS on boots.


Rings: Damagewise they both look solid to me though Blood loop is missing the flat lightning damage, HOWEVER, try to get rings with 31+(t2) or 37+ WED(t1, goes up to 42), flat lightning damage life and solid resists. Mind the craftable options as mentioned lot of times already.

Amulet: Phew, thats a hard one again. Yours got decent life and Multiplier, Rest is meh. If you re on standard and you can get your hands on a legacy version or a normal version of a quadfecta amulet WITH life, you re more or less in a sweet spot. Again i can offer you to try out my amulet i transfered from Talisman to standard being

It has no Life but the 4 Damage stats you'd want.

Belt: Your resists on this one are strong. The WED is very lackluster, in terms of life you def. still get somtehing better. T2+WED (31+) should be the minimum you want on your beltslot. Life is second priority. Note that strength also counts towards life. The total possible Life on a belt is 40(base)+ 99(T1 Life Maxroll) + 27 from T1 Strength.

Your helmet got the Lightning arrow enchant, you can try to take out Chain in that case, it will HEAVILY increase your damage per projectile which makes harder maps and mods easier to counter. I dont see your ascendancy class though to really make a statement about it.

Playing a Shadow Assassin since my Ranger has already another build and didn't feel like leveling another Ranger. Removeing chain without having access to ricochet would probably be bad?

In case you want to really start gearing up, this is how you should proceed:

- Get a Chest piece as mentioned above, try to get as many resits as possible (And 100+ Life and some Evasion)
- Get Boots with as many resists as possible (alongside with 30%MS and Life)
- Note the resists you re missing
- Start searching for options and try to juggle the missing resists
- if you come across an option which leaves you with - say - 4% fire resist missing, try to counter that with a jewel instead for example
- Keep blessing the implicits of your items in mind

Hope that helped mate.
