[2.6] [SC] Siege Ballista Critical MF Culler Assassin [Get rich - Pure damage version added]

Like the build so far. Yes, like some people said leveling is cancerous but leveling is all about items and skills. Level 77 right now idk why but i couldnt level this fast lol. Couldnt done my uber lab and with fully linked siege ballista i got 4.3k dps in ho and got 3.8k hp without Fatal Toxins , Heart and Soul and Shamanistic Fury clusters. Besides some situations it's safer than i expected even with 3.8k hp.

Just one question tho. Do you think Revenge of The Hunted cluster could be better than Heart and Soul cluster or we need that 4% hp and those manas and skill point?
With heart and soul we got 20% life and 32% mana with '4' points.
With RoTH cluster we got 16% life, 12%phy, 34% evasion with '5' points.

I mentioned ''some situations'' before. One of those situations is breachs. I'm not using any breachstone cuz of that. Its just an instakill for me or i ran away luckily. I dont know what to do about it.

Again, thanks for sharing this build. Good luck.

Edit: done my uber lab with help. I went for Deadly Infusion with 4 power charges right now. Got 79.29% crit chance and 8527k dps.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this but your dps calculation is wrong. You added the total dps to the total dps inc poison, which is reduntant. You really only have like 40k dps total with 3 totems which isn't a lot.

I dont tested, but testing here I,m running purity of elements, herald of Ash, AA and level 2 clarity with only 100 of free mana in the pool, then probably Heart and Soul is important. :P

I may even be wrong (I did several tests in the Path of Building with several different builds), but "total dps" from what I understood the program is totally separate from the poison, bleed and ignite dps. Total dps is the average damage of your hits over 1 second. Then comes the other calculations, if you create a build using poison gem and remove it, it will not change the "total dps", only the following values (poison this case).

Double.

Nice to see another assassin totem build. Im not itemfind but i think ill try adapting this to my warchief setup. I have a build in standard using scourge that i didn't put rampage on yet. Using scaeva and lycosidae now in legacy.

Have you considered going for power charge ascendancy instead? Im using orb of storms pcoc every now and then to get power charges, although shield charge is also good

I'm lazy, then I prefer thw Assassinate's path. :P

But you can try this that probably it will work. :)

On path of building if you use poison the bottom line you should look at is Total dps inc. poison value. The total dps value doesn't include poison at all which is why it doesnt change if you remove the gem and is only there to give you some idea of what short term dps looks like.

I searched for information and yes, you're right. I have corrected the initial topic and put the correct information, thank you Aggnog. :)

It's still a very decent damage build for a mf build. I think that after I accumulate 20 exalteds (I want to buy some specific items for another build) I will convert this build to pure damage version, I think that I get around 100k dps.

Ps.: I'm currently with 4 exalteds and have not played the last 8 days, I'm traveling and I'll be back tomorrow. :)

Progress Report:

I am level 84 after 7 days without playing (I was traveling - playing since Saturday afternoon) and the build has been very efficient overall.

Toxic Delivery is better you pick up with the initial 4 points of ascendancy than Assassinate. The efficiency and damage is much better and visible, take Assassinate only with Uber Izaro. This made me so much stronger that I nearly killed an Abaxoth on tier 8 map (Bog) with Elemental Weakness and Extra Cold Damage. I just did not kill him because he had no more portals (I had died 2 times for other things and I left the map twice to sell items).

I killed alone at level 79 merciless Izaro. It was not difficult.

I tested Deadly Infusion and this is very bad, I discovered in practice (I did not know) that totems can not generate charges (same with Instable Infusion), in other words, you have to generate the charges with some skill (in case, Frenzy). I'm going to change and use with Frenzy, PCoC in 5L.

I also changed the tree. I'm not going to get King of the Hill (Frenzy + PCoC will compensate for this) or Thick Skin. Instead I get Discipline and Training (in the heart of the Templar), gaining more life base and 5% increased attack speed. With the shortest distance to walk, you saved up points to invest in more damage and they will be spent to catch Deadly Draw. The tree in the level 91 would be this:
Level 91
From this you can get 4 sockets in the tree with this tree:
Full tree

My current gear is this:

With Divination Distillate:
IIR = 336%
IIQ = 46%

I'm in a bit of bad luck, I've spent more than 500 jewelers in a Lioneye's Glare with good rolls and nothing 6S so far.

I'm also thinking of removing Faster Attack gem and using Void Manipulation in 5L, seems to compensate more according to the Path of Building.

i have been playing this build and is very fun, i remember when they added the siege ballistas and everyone whined about the gem being useless gj =)
also you should add/modify some parts like 4L: CwdT (Level 1) + Immortal Call (Level 3)+ Increased Duration + Arctic Breath (Level 4) and clarify that clarity must be a certain lvl
