[2.5 Video Guide] Assassin Blade Vortex End-Game Build & Uber Farmer! [HC/SC]
|
I have removed Facebreakers as recommended gloves, but other than that the build guide remains the same. The "nerf" is mostly noticeable for pathfinders Assassin's are completely fine. The only thing you may feel to be different is the power charge generation. It might be a bit slower, but not by much.

The cruel preparation node, and the hybrid life/mana nodes in the witch area in the final tree are intended?
Why not go for throatseeker or force shaper? do you think the damage is good already and focus on more defense? |

" You could. You could also use Valyrium, to make stun based on ES, though, I would only recommend that if your resists are good already as it does penalize your cold resist. This would allow you to get an amulet that has crit chance, and crit multi. You may even find one with ES, multi, and your resists. I think it's entirely up to you though. Chayula is nice for the fact that its mods have no direct downsides to CI. But amulets are the most powerful jewellery socket. Take the cheapest route, don't sink a bunch of money into things that you don't know how effective they are. Chayula dn Valyrium are generally cheap, so those are worth grabbing and testing with. Pick the one that's most comfortable for you, and get a rare amulet/ring for your last slot. |

" They are intended because you convert the life to ES, and you need mana. This makes it a hybrid node with maximum efficiency. The ES boost it provides may not be as much as other nodes, but it has the mana, and it's also right there. Might as well grab it. As for the Force Shaper node, I'm thinking of grabbing it at the very end. Extra damage is nice. It would also mean that those initial nodes in the shadow area get double use. In my opinion, follow the guide as close as possible, and when you feel you have extra points, throw 1 or 2 in that direction once in a while. |

can someone please tell me how i can get over 30 blades |

" Its no longer possible to get over 20 stacks. Its a character wide limitation. It doesnt matter what you try to overcome it it jsut wont go past 20. That guy is eaother trolling you or he means the use of "utility" blade where u use one stack to generate charges or what not. I actually have no idea how that works now that the hits are sorta joined together. (i am no expert on BV so take the above with a grain of salt ... not much salt though) Anyway how exactly does this compare power wise now after 2.5. I had no idea the additional blades add "increased" dmg. I thought they just add base dmg. Thats like ... a big deal. Last edited by platonicx#7891 on Dec 6, 2016, 7:45:02 AM
