[2.6] THE NEW FAKENER | DISCHARGE | SUPER FAST STRANDS | Cospris Malice | 9k+ ES | STILL GREAT AOE

I'm new to crafting, can I get a quick rundown of what kind of rings I should be looking for and regalling? I get confused as to what's worth it to multimod and what is a waste of time.

I don't see how vortex in malice is gonna help our DPS. With the above setup you will be adding another aoe cold spell to the setup instead of a damage support gem like CD. If you really wanna use vortex a better option for it will be in your cwdt setup.

Best ring option for this build as an assassin are -mana cost Diamond Eleron rings. Top preferred mods are accuracy and ES. Any resistances are also always good.

You cannot proc more than 1 spell in Malice per trigger event, so this won't work. Even if it did, elemental equilibrium would make the Vortex deal only 75% of its damage.

You don't necessarily need 2 Elreon Rings. If you manage to get the leech boot enchant, you can likely run the build on 1 elreon ring, and then just use Vinktar against bosses - you won't need more than 1 activation vs T15 or lower bosses except for the T15 multi-stage bosses, but then again running any T15 is not cost effective anyways. Having a regular ring can potentially be huge, since you can load up on resists and accuracy, along with dexterity. I run my assassin on 1 Elreon Ring just fine, and only swap in the second one on no regen maps (with 1 elreon ring SC is 2 mana).

If you opt for two Elreon Rings, you're primarily looking for accuracy, dexterity, resists (particularly cold resist if you're running purity auras), and ES. You want to definitely craft at least %ES, and only multimod to fill out resists/dex requirements.

Just wondering, my Single target damage is really low, I mean I can kill most of the mobs around, but in high tier maps (10+) I cant even kill most of the Rare mobs around, it takes a few seconds even.
And when trying to kill a boss, Vinktar's duration isn't even enough to kill it, It takes from 20 to 1 min or even more sometimes to kill a high tier map boss.

Can't really solo Engame Lab, nor some of that kind of content due to lack of single target damage. I do swap my IAOE for Conc. when it comes to boss fights but even still I'm missing a lot of damage comparing to your build.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?.
you can check my character in my profile.

P.S. My crit multi is currently at 350% for spells. Is there any way to improve that? Aside crit multi jewels which are really expensive.


You only have a level 18 Discharge, and you run a Life Leech gem, both of which lower your dps significantly. Replace your leech gem with Controlled Destruction, and buy a 20/20 gem (they are very cheap). 21/20 is even better if you can spare a few exalts.

If you're concerned about leeching, you can use vinktar vs all the bosses in T15 or lower maps, and you should be able to kill every boss in one vinktar activation. When mapping, you can always put a Warlord's Mark on CWDT or on Blasphemy (I prefer CWDT), or get a Death's Door with the leech enchant.

Getting the 40% discharge damage helm will help quite a bit too - they are much more affordable than the 30% to not consume charges. You're also running a discharge in your chest, which is a complete waste since you don't use the 30% helm enchant. This means your chest discharge will basically do 0 damage. Replace the discharge in the chest with something that will proc more power charges from voll's protector and PCoC, such as BV or Firestorm.

I would advise against running HoI/Ice Bite - it doesn't address your single target damage problem vs bosses. You'd be better off running a curse on blasphemy (elemental weakness for instance, or even assassin's mark). Even with 60% curse effectiveness reduction when fighting bosses, elemental weakness still gives a pretty considerable damage boost.

Regarding your crit multi - you don't need to stack crit multi, since you'll typically get more damage from spell damage and area damage. Expand your jewel search to include those damage mods.

Finally, check your attacks per second on cyclone (with and without the boot enchant procced). Is is slightly over 4? If so, you're likely gimping your single target dps sigificantly.




I changed Discharge on chest for Firestorm until I get a 30% charge helmet.
I removed life leech and got a 20/20 Controlled Destruction
I changed HoI + Ice Bite for Elemental weakness on Blasphemy.
I'm looking for 21/20 Discharge Gems as I'll need em for damage output.
I'll start looking for Area Damage + Spell damage gems alongside with atk speed if possible.
My Cyclone attacks per second unbuffed is 4.02 and with the Atk speed proc from my boots is 4.46, reaches 5 when I pop my Onslaught flask. is that good or it needs improving? If so what do I need to look for in order to get more atk speed? Perhaps some tree change or atk speed jewels ?
Hey guys,

just wanted to know which is the best and strongest 6L gem setup because I see different setups when I check various profiles?

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if you could critique my gear and maybe help me achieve higher DPS/Damage.I switch between HoI with Ice bite for more clear potential vs Purity of lightning and enlighten for my survive-ability. I can't afford the 30% discharge hubris ATM, im waiting for it to drop in price.

Right now i'm having crazy mana issues with the set-up shown below. Please help me!

Guardians: I killed all guardians except Hydra (Didn't try yet) without a problem. Further, i got a few deaths on those runs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

You skip out on some major ES nodes - I would suggest actually trading some of your dps for ES. You also pour a lot into your accuracy, presumably so you can run fortify in your SC set-up. That's a lot of points invested that could also be redirected to the massive %ES witch nodes.

You're also very close to two jewel nodes. You might consider dumping alchemist for now (which gives you largely meaningless Rumi boost and an extra 5% penetration for the duration of your Vinktars) in favor of another jewel slot. To boost damage further, flip many of your jewels, get a 21/20 discharge, get a spell damage/spell crit shield, and get a 40% discharge helm (which are much cheaper - I think whites run around 4ex on standard). You can also replace the Rumi's with a strong dps flask - Atziri's or a Sulfur Flask. Also, get a better Quicksilver Flask - freeze protection should be replaced by more movespeed. Alchemist of Adrenaline is what you're aiming for. Get 20% on those flasks too, and Blessing your belt too!

Finally, if you're up for it, do some lab runs and get a penetration enchant (1/60 chance) to really boost your single target dps. Or, if you want more clearspeed, get the 16% attack/cast speed enchant. If you're having mana issues, get the leech enchant.

4.02 is not ideal for single target - try to reduce it to 4 or slightly below. That way you time the cyclone hits so that they only occur after Malice cooldowns of 250ms. With your current set up you are literally whiffing on every second cyclone hit.

Alternately, you can just pump attack speed to very high levels via your jewels if you feel your single target is good enough.

The strongest set-up is believed to be the one with the discharge in the 6L along with the 30% helm enchant. However, that's only really relevant if you want to work on your single target vs guardians/shaper. For general mapping, one could argue that the set-up with Fortify is the best (on assassin at least), because assassin already deals so much damage the second discharge in the 6L is complete overkill. Might as well go more defensive then.
