[3.0] The Azure Knight, Assassin version (Blade Flurry/Frost Blades/Life/Crit/Conversion)

Thanks for the reply, OP. Since my char is in Standard I guess I won't be getting back to it anytime soon, just decided to drop a post cause the build feels great, Im not exactly following every step and die a lot but Im having fun, clear speed is insane. Still, nowhere near what the build is supposed to be yet, just grinding for xp when I have time and farming curr for uniques. It feels dumb to say but this is my first character too. Loved the FB gem and wanted to make a char that uses it. Many, many respecs were wasted.
Was referring to the plumed chimeral gardens map boss, maybe I need frost bomb for that. Made so many mistakes with this Assassin...over 600 deaths. Anyway, Im not giving up and will try to work it up a bit more. Im gonna throw in Catalyst now, see where it goes.
Edit: Checked the thread once more before going shopping, glad I did. Thanks again!!

First of all, good luck and I hope that even with VP needed you will have a lot of fun with the character. Unfortunately I didn't realize you we're using Frost Blades, since most people chose the Blade Flurry version. With that being said , Doryanis won't be worth buying since Frost Blades alternates weapons unlike Blade Flurry. I hope you read this in te before buying one :)

Should i go for Vaal pact, it's different in this season looks like, or try to put some more dmg.

With this build, is it more beneficial to get a physical damage claw, or an elemental damage claw? I see that it scales elemental, but also converts physical to elemental. Is there a benefit to one or the other, or do they pretty much balance out in the end?

With the new 3.2 Assassin buffs, would this build be good again? Would it work as a decent league starter?

I will definitely see what I can do to update it for 3.2, but I'll wait for the patch notes first, Assassin changes do look great :)
