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

Amazing build thank you. Question:
I'm coming back to PoE after like 2 years, I'm way out of sync with everything (so much has changed), anyways I have this 6 link Shavs that I can use (don't have many 6links)

How would this build change other then not taking CI if I was going to use it? (Should I keep focusing solely on ES?)

I would highly recommend against against playing lowlife. If you do want to play it then you should get a ton of chaos resistance and wear this neck when it comes to standard.
Pros:
You get 1-2 extra auras. If you use a Crown of Eyes then you get double dipping spell% nodes to scale your poison damage and you can get Pain Attunement to scale it further.

Cons:
You would end up having 2-3k less ES than a CI build with a vaal regalia and you be extremely weak to chaos damage. Status effects like stun/shock/freeze last much longer than CI builds.

I've Been using this build and having a lot of fun. I think I found a potential solution to the "Heaxproof maps" issue. In my Heretic's Veil, I have Hatred slotted with the Determination, Warlord's Mark, and Vulnerability gems. With the leech I have on my gear, I can survive Hexproof Zana maps as long as I take it slowly and carefully.

Wow thank you! this was exactly what I was looking for,

All in all it would be better for me to go CI then and still use the shavs until I came upon a better chest armor that could replace it? ( though I do have a crown of eyes, so that was an interesting thought)

It depends on the content you're doing. If you're just farming mid tier maps then Shavs is fine but if you plan to do Gaurdians/Shaper I'd say no. Yes, you can wear a 6L shavs as CI until you can afford a Vaal Regalia. It's debatable if you'd be better off wearing an 750+ ES 5L but it depends on the price.

Can someone explain me how is it possible for him to use 2 curse auras in his build?I don't spot anything in his build or gear that raises the cap 2 curses.

It's in the Passive Tree link... Top left node Whispers of Doom...

Edit:
Hey there ffhighwind...

Could you take a look at my passives and gem setup? I know that I should get better ES gear, belt, and 6L chest ... so yeah..

Do I have too much mana/life leech?

Thanks in advance.

You look like you read over quite a lot of my previous posts, and I appreciate the effort :). I would recommend putting move speed on your jade/silver and anti-freeze on your quicksilver. 40 charges is too much for anti-freeze. Get a Valyrium or Chayula. You shouldn't need life leech on your gear as long as you're running Warlord's Mark, but 0.25% mana leech goes a long way. "Physical Attack" leech is much worse than "Attack"/pure leech. I would recommend getting the leech on your gloves or jewels, not jewelry. Crit chance is not worth getting on gear since we're an assassin. I bet you're 90-95% crit chance with power charges up without the 60% from gear. Buy a physical Doriyani's belt immediately as it's extremely cheap and way better than what you're wearing. Your amulet and helmet look like the worst pieces you've got, so I recommend upgrading those first. Aim for flat physical damage or crit multi on the amulet with high resists. Your helmet should have 250 ES at least. Your rings should have 40 ES or 15% es ideally instead of leech.

Just hit 10.5 k ES for my first CI build this has been fun! running maps now and it has gone great! Thanks. My current Gear on Breach.

Are Death's Door Crusader Boots worth 150 chaos.It will let me use a witchfire brew instead of a bleeding flask.
