[2.5] The DoT'ssassin Hybrid | SC (WIP Help Welcome)

The reasons for assassin are pretty obvious I assume.
-Noxious Strike and Toxic Delivery are just crazy good for dot builds
-Unstable Infusion allows us to sustain power charges
-Deadly Infusion gives a really nice boost in DPS once you get your charges up
and is a better than Ambush in my case, since I am stacking up 5+ Power Charges

Why those Claws ????:


As you see most of my gear is quite wonky in this cluster**** of a build. That's due to not having done the optimizing for it yet.
Most of it acts as placeholder currently, for example the
are just in there, because they were a cheap way of acquiring stats 30% movement speed and ES in one.


Got me a cheap 6 Link early which fit the sockets I needed and had some decent stats over a Tabula/5L that I had before.

Enchants on gear are not done yet too, which means, there is a good amount of damage missing.
On gloves I would prefer Edict of Spite for the nice slow counter meassure. And the additional Blade Flurry stacks on the helmet would allow for some more poison stacks per use.

For jewels I've been focusing on
Damage
Damage over Time
Attack Speed with Claws
Physical Damage

and I got that sweet 8% Chance to Knock Back Enemies on Hit.

For defensive jewel options you can try to get some
Increased Maximum Life
Increased Maximum ES
+ one mod from the ones above.

They are surprisingly cheap for what they do in this build, keeping it alive on harder maps
or if you suffer from micro lags, that make you take hits that you can't dodge sometimes.
You can even throw in some more attributes, if you got the currency/luck, prefer STR to make one more point free on passive tree or DEX for the damage bonus on your bleeds.

Blade Flurry:
Links for clearing:
Increased Area of Effect + Item Rarity + Melee Damage on Full Life + Melee Physical Damage + Faster Attacks

For Bosses:
Concentrated Effect + Added Chaos Damage + Melee Damage on Full Life + Melee Physical Damage + Faster Attacks

Counterattack:
Vengeance + Riposte + Fortify

Decent combination for a big counterhit, that leechs you up a bit and gives you fortify.

Random Countermeassure (WIP):

Cast When Damage Taken + Vortex + Blade Vortex + Bladefall

This came together after I was talking with a member of the guild. It works good as leechup countermeassure and with the slow of Vortex (and maybe Edict of Spite in the future) you get a good slow on the enemies around you allowing you to disengage fast with Whirling Blades

Immortal Call:
Immortal Call + Cast When Damage Taken

Just your average Immortal Call setup. Combined with the endurance charges that you get through Warlord's Mark, you have good ways of dealing with huge physical damage hits.

Mobility:
Whirling Blades + Fortify + Faster Attacks

Whirling Blades is just a really reliable Mobility-Spell and combined with Fortify you get a decent amount of survivability.

Aura/Curse:
Discipline + Blasphemy + Warlord's Mark

As for Aura's and Curses I wanted to run a dual curse setup with Vulnerability and Warlord's Mark, for the right amount of Survivability and Damage.
