[2.5 Video Guide] Assassin CI Blade Flurry End-Game Build! [HC/SC]

Hello, I recently went to try out the minotaur I managed to deal with the map real easy but the minotaur itself I couldn't sustain my life with warlocks + atiziri's flask and did almost no damagae with 4 portals (Like 1/10 of his life)

This is the gear that I went there

Sitting at 9,100es, any tips to do guardians?

I'll probably change the speed flask for a taste of hate and get a 20% phys reduction flask maybe that will be enough (?)

Spoiler

well you dont have a 6-link, that itself is alot of damage

Also Bino is not really end game material, does not help on bosses only trash

try to get a 300ish dps dagger with decent crit and attackspeed and a 6-link, taste of hate can't hurt the dps either :)

remember the more dps you have the more effective your leech will be

Ok, what just happened!?
Tooltip says avg. dmg 3k with only Bino, when I dual wield with Death's Hand tooltip says 2.5k avg. dmg.
And when I reach max power charges bino = 3900 while bino+death = 3200 (except when I've killed recently for Unholy Might, at which tooltip says 4100). Is Death's hand only useful when I kill recently? useless against bosses? or is tooltip retarded?

Knowledge much appreciated, I'm autistically UPset right now.

EDIT: also, I noticed that whirling blades is horrible to use with bladeflurry. After a whirl there is a cooldown before bladeflurry can be used, leaving you standing there like an idiot doing nothing for 0.5 seconds. Very clunky gameplay compared to shield charge.


yeah the tooltip is wrong with bino's and death's hand (or rather every offhand that isnt dagger, 1h-sword or claw), because it also calculates the average damage of your Death's hand, but you actually don't attack with

There you have to look at the damage and attackspeed of your dagger (or claw/sword) in the tooltip, it is much higher than with shield, because you get the 20% more damage and 10% attack speed from dual wielding + with death's hand you get unholy might on critical strikes, which is an additional 30% chaos damage and this is huge

With whirling blades you are right though; shield charge feels better, but with enough attackspeed whirling blades also gets quite ok
Hey nice guide!

Sorry to ask a very noob question but is there any way to put Herald of Ash into this build?

If I was to stay as a life based, what would change on the trees, please? I'm only up to level 36 so far! Just got my blade flurry and dropped ancestor totem and like how it plays so. I'd like to keep the build, but probs wont be able to buy all the expensive stuff.

Also, could you please recommend an alternative bow build for the league? thanks.

There's pros and cons to life and CI. With a higher budget CI generally performs better at endgame content, but you'll need many exalts in gear to reach that point. My main gripe leech is harder to come by on a CI tree. Mathil made a life based version which performed very well. Look at his characters BreachMyFlurry and BreachAroundPls (Assassin) if that's the path you want to take.

As for bow builds... Mathil is currently making one around Xoph's but it's fairly atypical of most bow builds. Some other options are: Inquisitor Doomfletch Prism, Ranger/Shadow Voltaxic, or a standard Ranger/Shadow phys bow (Reach of the Council). Plenty of guides out there for these builds. Neversink has a decent guide on a purely physical bow build.

I wasn't a fan of the warchief totem either. I'm considering:
1. Wither Totem
2. PCoC, Orb of Storms, Curse on Hit, Warlords Mark
3. CWDT, Molten Shell, Tempest Shield, Vortex/etc
4. Culling MF Totem


I'm working on my bow build for now, probably end up being split shot/ blast rain or tornado shot or something.

I've been trying to color this chest, and 1k+ chroms in landed me on this 5 off color setup. I'm unsure if I should try selling it or 6 link it and stick in poison support. Really have no clue how useful poison support would be.
Hey awesome guide! Working on this char right now. Close to 28, are there any good uniques that anyone can tell me are good for this build while leveling?

I have a tabula so I'll most likely just use that until I get too squishy or I change to CI.

I'm also HC so I'll most likely be using sword and board.

Thank you!


Doing this build and have this setup at the moment, what would you guys recommend upgrading? Find myself attacking a little too slowly and in general feels like the damage is not quite there.

If you're not playing HC replace shield with Death's Hand which gives Onslaught for good pack clearing. As for bosses, especially those without mobs to give you onslaught buff, it is suggested (by others here) to use 300-ish dps dagger with crit+attack speed (maybe dual wield that for x2 rape).
Improvement on tree path for 8% increased mana without changing anything.


EDIT: as story said 10int=2%ES. I haven't played for 1.5 yrs so I'm rusty :))
