[3.11] Poison Blade Vortex Assassin (Carried me to level 100 / delve 600+ / Aul / Sirus A8 viable)

How did we generate endurance charges for immortal call my friends?...

Why no blood rage btw? Amazing for maps, and for bossing you can get the new version with 2% chance on hit to give frenzy

"

nc Area on Plague Bearer can be dropped, Herald of Purity can be put in the Diadem and a low level Vitality can be put in the free slot, where Inc Area was before. (Which should obviously not be linked to Empower!)

Can you explain please?

So what do we use instead of empower? As the links would be low level vitality... plague bearer and ...?

Also no portal gem? Should really include that in the build imho.

Or is that the spare slot in gloves?

Here is my links and gems, can you check it's right please? Just saving for amulet and helmet but wanted gems ready for end setup



Edit: Ah you didn't include withering step for some reason on POB.

Also - Withering step shares cooldown with flame dash.. for bossing is having flame dash shared with withering step safe??

Do you still go for poison support if you are over 100% chance to poison? Void manipulation gives better pob damage (until 20/20 at least, haven't gotten there yet)

Thoughts on coralitos flask?

YOu got whispers of doom in amulet, but I only see the "Despair" curse, what other curse we got?...

realy my poisen bv die so often and the single target is realy not good dont know what i make wrong realy have a good gear in my opinion have tried many things

This is an assassin build... you are a trickster that might be why?

Also OP i think Whirling blades is much better than flame dash... flame dash shares cooldown with withering step, whirling blades doesn't..

so? it doesn't matter at all. You mostly use it to get over obstacles or dodge during sirus fight. And whirling blades is absolute shit for these two.
Personally i dont see why you would ever use whirling blades over withering step+flame dash with this build. I am not even sure good attack speed fixes it nowadays (i've played like 10+ maps with minimal AS from gem+ some from the tree - very slow and isn't smooth), and this build doesn't have enough as anyway. The only upside of WB - fortify. But when you get enough damage survivability is good enough to play without it.

All movement abilities have their specific situation.

Roughly, it can be summed up as:

Withering Step as general movespeed increase plus applying Wither during any normal situation. Also I like the manual trigger of Elusive.

Shield Charge, since I leveled to 100 with this build, triggering Fortify helps a lot and it is always ready, but it can get stuck at corners. Despite the downsides, I like shield charge. Somehow Whirling Blades feels a bit off, even if it is supposed to be similar.

Flame Dash is for getting over gaps and as a instant move. Mostly I use it for map layouts where I need to gross gaps and during fights like Sirus, as it helps extremely for properly playing the last phase.


Of course those can be modified by personal preferences.
