[2.5 Video Guide] Assassin Blade Vortex End-Game Build & Uber Farmer! [HC/SC]

Made the switch to CI at lvl 70 and it works very well. Leech is more than sufficient. Got 7.7k ES and propably start mapping soon. When did you guys do merc lab btw? Love this build.


edit: also went with assasin as trickster doesnt generate power charges really and crit is very low compared to assasin.

Very good build. Level 89 (12Kes, 68K DPS) at the moment with good gears (charac SmoothPimping if u wanna see). Just having some trouble sometimes with bosses alone when u have hard time to stack power charge.
One can do Hexproof map but it's really to avoid. Juste went through Volcano map T14 hexproof with 2 deaths (my fault going too fast). Therefore u need to switch added fire damage for life leech and warlord marks for herald of ash and be very careful.

PS: For those who doubt the build (I did it too). The flasks (except maybe Kiara's flask that I don't have) and Vaal discipline are REALLY ABSOLUTE NEED if u want to survive high maps!

Just one question for those who plays this build high level. I have decoy totem but never spawn it because it dies too fast. Is it really mandatory? Was thinking of including another CWDT+Molten shell/Arctic armour or Ice Nova (to freeze every mob around). What do you think?

Decoy is so good, I got al lvl 19, 20 quality(important) totem with ele resis and it works well.

The build has almost 400 crit multi from power charges and assasin nodes.

The build has 75% multiplier, 40% multiplier if enemies are full life (which isn't super usefull considering you hit fast rather than super hard on the first hit) and 30% multiplier for spells

that's about 105%,

you get 8% crit multiplier per power charge, with a void battery that's 56% at full charges.

So the build has about 156% bonus.

Your total crit multiplier from the tree listed here is 312. Picking up those 4 nodes gives you 366 total multiplier from tree. 366/312*100% = 117%,

I'm not saying his build is wrong. I'm just wondering would you consider picking up these 4 nodes to get the 15% bonus (at 80% crit, Not considering items) or do you think it's not worth it :P

Sure i ll do exactly as u do. This is because i skipped the life nodes and one cluster with energy within, because i picked up a 8% es jewel with resis. So I can afford some nice crit then!

Why cant i get Hatred aura in my worm ring ?
my warlords has 44% reservd and dicipline has 62% reservd
and i have the Charisma node in tree for total 12% reduced mana reservation... any tips ??

I started an assassin and I am really enjoying the built thank you!

Though I was talking with my friend and contemplating, if an occultist witch, besides a more tedious leveling process, would actually outclass the assassin?
*Besides the harder leveling and transition process maybe

what do you guys think?

She has Powercharge on Crit +1 Power Charge 100 energy shield an insane recharge speed etc.

The occultist would be a very nice defensive approach that's for sure. Just keep in mind that gearing will be harder as you will need more crit chance/multi on gear and jewels :)

Just a question, how to deal with no regen mod?
