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

I made some videos for those who want an idea about Guardian fights with the build. Somebody PMed me for tips so hopefully this helps. I could easily afford better gear but I figured people want proof that endgame content could be done without a rare dagger. I've farmed 7 Shaper sets so far and failed twice to Chimera and once to Minotaur due to mods. I've stopped running corrupted maps because it's not worth the risk. Here's a list from easiest to hardest.

Phoenix (5 mins, hard mods)
using Inc AOE support

Hydra (5 mins)
Conc Effect, PCOC Orb of Storms

Minotaur (7 mins, 1 death)
Inc AOE, PCOC Orb of Storms

Chimera (11 mins, 1 death)
Inc AOE, PCOC CWDT Firestorm (burn prevents boss from regenerating ES)

I tried Shaper for the first time ever and it didn't go so well. It's probably just a learning experience like Atziri. I can soak his teleport slam with a sliver of life left. All of my deaths came from his golden balls and most happened in phase 1. Chayula might be preferred over Valyrium for this fight.

Just to make sure I'm not missing something, this pdps 316 dagger:



should be superior to this Bino's:



Right? My avg damage per use has gone DOWN with the 316 pdps dagger, but I should be outputting more dmg overall since I attack faster. Is this true or is the Bino's better?

You need to consider, that BF skill doesn't count APS in the tooltip. Dont know why.
Ignore the tooltip damage when comparing daggers. Just go with the pdps of the dagger itself.
I had 800 damage less with a 300 pdps 1.7 aps dagger than with binos but i was really stronger in game.
GGG works in mysterious ways.

Nice runs,a rare dagger is in no way required. It just makes things a bit easier.
I had a really bad experience with shaper last league when zana died. Too much happening at the same time for me.
Since i don't run blasphemy i think some gloves with vulnerability on hit might be the only upgrade worth it other than a 40 ex dagger.
I don't want to lose hatred or herald of ice since it helps oneshot packs and i love the sound.
I dropped voidheart and got better clearspeed with a steel ring,maybe with vulnerability it will be worth it.
Just some random thoughts.
why not bloodlust on the warchief totem? We always bleed
Hello.
I mean following this build and I'm now at level 63, but I don't really know what the next stop gear wise and skill wise is.

I have about 4 exalted to spend on upgrades.

Can anyone help me, check my gear and say what's up?

It doesn't quite work like that. I haven't tried swapping in Void Manipulation, Added Chaos, or Chayula yet. This would probably make a bigger difference with a faster dagger. Perhaps you're thinking of builds such as 2x Scourge or 2x Hand of Wisdom and Action (HOWAA)? I definitely should swap in Fortify on my shield charge. I could try Death's Hand, but that's too risky for Chimera. There's videos of Loath Bane but that's not an affordable dagger.

Dual Scourge 2 minute CI Chimera for comparison. As squishy as wearing a Death's Hand and 3x the leech of this build. He melts Shaper and facetanks the laser, though.

I can't find a good HOWAA video/guide to compare. I have seen a HOWAA Spectral Thrower video facetanking Shaper as well. I don't think the DPS was as solid as Scourge.
