[3.1] The Lightning Assassin - Everything Viable - ClearSpeed/Endgame
" Theoretically, your Life/mana ratio should be at least 0.43, (Life : Mana = 1 : 0.43). And if the ratio reaches 0.5, it can be considered "comfortable to use" . So it might not be a good idea to run a Blasphemy curse, plus, if you're using the Essence worm, your mana reserving will be increased by 40%. |

" True, i forgot about essence worm... So far I'm having fun playing this build. I wanted to give a try on a spell caster build cause I mainly play with melee/bow and I got bored of them already on this league. Played lioneye's bow crit, slayer pure phys cyclone, slayer with reave/bf and tried a poet's pen build but things that moves too fast on my screen gives me headache Haha All of them were solid and was able to kill guardians and t15 maps with ease, except poet's pen cause i stoped before getting to guardians, etc The only thing is I feel this build lacks some faster leech/regen, compared to the other ones I played in the past weeks. Maybe i'm not used to spell caster builds yet... Can you give me some hints on how to beat guardians, etc? I mean flask setup for each occasion (like when fighting minotaur). I feel vessel of vinktar doesn't make too much sense on bosses, since it will go empty with only one use. Will post my gear, I tweaked some gem setups to my play style. I just got to 70~ and didn't finish the story yet.. Will start mapping tonight, I hope xD ps.: will buy vaal grace and put it on the boots |

" Hey, glad you're having fun. Vessel of vinktar is just for the burst damage, you can get another diamond flask for more sustain damage or basalt/jade for defensives. Well as for the guardians and end-game bosses....first you need to level up, this matters a lot, and upgrade the items, etc. While fighting them, there are not that many of special tricks to defeat them tbh. Basically, if you're well geared, you face tank the normal hits from guardians/elder/shaper, and all you need to do is position yourself using lightning warp to run away from those deadly slams like shaper's slam, elder's slam, minotaur's slam.....lol And don't be afraid to face tank then if needed, or you'll run out of mana. (the lightning warp is quite comfortable to use in my opinion, you just need to get used to it and you'll find out it's the best movement skill in the game). Anyway, not much to say, your gem setup looks fine. Feel free to ask or give me some feedback, happy leveling :) |

Whats your opinion on replacing bereks with something like this ring and getting a +1 curse on the passive tree or amulet?

" This is actually a very good idea, nice one, might try it myself! The only problem is that it might not be easy to get a good amulet (life and res) with +1 curse. |

How did you lvl up this build? Looks fun ^^
| |
" it should be easy. just get every rare item you can with life and res, don't go Mind over Matter unless you got all the items. Before that just feel free to use blasphemy-warlord's, Arctic armour or others. and Storm Barrier is nice. As for the items, divinarius is nice, and sigularity, or just get a rare one. annnd don't forget your life nodes in the tree. Have fun :) |
|
" Thx =) was more thinking in terms of skills u used while leveling up. I got all the items needed for endgame. Only got a 5 link Inpulsas atm tho. | |
" ah....skills for the 5L to level up, I recommend : Lightning tendrils + CWC + A lightning sill(shock nova, arc, ball lightning, etc.) + Storm Barrier(if you want some defensives) + Lightning penetration + Controlled destruction(if you're not using storm barrier) |

Hello again,
Used the hint about the eldered ring with warlord's mark on hit and a corrupted amulet with +1 curse. It seems that it got alot better (for me at least). I am now lvl 86 and running T11 maps without the need of any life/mana flasks. I got 4.5k HP, 700 ES and 2.3k MP right now. My resistances are all cap. But when I try to push T12+ maps I end up dieing alot, even with a hybrid mana/hp flask, maybe I need to level some more or maybe i was unlucky with the mod rolls on the maps i tried (280+ crit chance, enfeeble, etc) Oh, also the elder guardians appeared on T10 maps. I managed to kill one of them with 1 death. But "the eradicator" just raped me, couldn't even get him to 70% hp, wasted all portals lol Maybe bcz he has high ele resist? idk Anyways, i'll keep up leveling and see what happens next :) |
