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

The missing es nodes are compensated by the increased defences from shield nodes.
I run lvl 2 enlighten with hatred discipline herald of ash (or a blasphemy enfeeble if needed) and i have 9.800 es and 106 free mana (or 70 with blasphemy i think).
Leech is constant everywhere and feels better than depending on warlord's.

Your setup looks pretty awful. You aren't scaling your poison damage at all. Hatred/HoA without WED, no Vuln, and you're missing a power charge. You should have been a Duelist or Ranger since you don't seem to care about your poison damage. A Diamond Flask does most of what you want in the ascendancy.

You dropped dual curse for the leech wheel and herald of ash. 2% physical attack leech instead of 2% pure leech. You did so much travelling on the tree for those nodes and they only apply to the physical part of your damage. You can get 2-3% physical attack leech on jewelry, jewels, gloves, and Blood Rage without resorting to that wheel. A good chunk of our damage is chaos through Toxic Delivery and Atziri's so you're missing out on that. I get that your build doesn't rely on curses or flasks to leech, but it's going to be a lot less overall leech.

Block nodes are questionable. They only make sense with a Rumis and you'd want the Alchemist nodes and/or a different ascendancy to make use of that.

Question, only done 1 es char before this build, I was lookin to get a bit more auto leech, I have a +3 es per enemy hit gem right now, would a % phys damage to life work better? Or what would be better or worth it

ES per hit is worse and much worse when you have Vaal Pact. It doesn't scale at all into endgame. LGoH is for low levels, low damage supports skills like Vengeance, or builds that don't do any damage such as Ghost Busters.

What do you mean i have 2% of physical leech? The nodes are "attack damage leeched as life" so it applies to all damage by attacks,not just physical.
The shield nodes are not for the block but for the es they give (increased defences) and it's a lot.
That makes up for unnatural calm loss.
I also take mana going down for deep thoughts loss.
There is accuracy on the way down too but i'm at 90%.
I can run hatred discipline and blasphemy vulnerability together just fine.
The character is still 87 and i propably won't pick the witch power charge since i'm at 87% with 5 charges. Going to the cap will hurt my unstable infusion procing.
Still missing my fourth ascendancy.
I'm not saying this is better than dual curse,It's just a different approach if you dislike not leeching at hexproof mobs or can't do hexproof maps or reduced effect of curses on bosses.
I leech 2% of damage on all times,everywhere.
It's not like no dps no leech approach. Everything melts and facetanking just fine.

My bad. I didn't remember those being all Attack Damage. Literally all other leech nodes are Physical Attack only.

any problem against lightning thorn?
Hello to everyone,

I am running this build also, but what I didn't understand, on the heretic's veil I have both gems vulnerability and warlord's mark but mobs can't have 2 curse same time. How can you keep up the leech ? and also having deodre's damning solve my this question but I don't want to run without voidheart because I paid a lot for it :)

Thanks in advance if someoen replies.

Ps: I am new in this game .
In the witch tree, look at the top left hand corner. "Whispers of Doom" is what you want to get in order to run double curse.
