I wonder if dropping the CWDT setup for an Animate Guardian could be a good improvement for the wealthy (Credit to Ziz for the idea). Immortal Call is inconsistent at best, and the Chaos Golem's buff is pretty pathetic in the grand scheme of things. However, a well equipped Animate Guardian running a Kingmaker, Garb of the Ephemeral, Mask of the Stitched Demon (with appropriate Grave Intentions passive, only a 2pt investment for us) and Victario's Flight would give us:

Nearby allies have Fortify
Nearby allies have Culling Strike
Nearby allies' action speed cannot be reduced below base
Nearby Enemies Cannot Crit (Even though we are assassin, criticals can still inflict deadly ignites/freezes/shocks)
+50% to Critical Strike Multiplier buff
10% increased movement speed for you and nearby allies

I have not tested it, but theoretically it should be quite a huge bonus defensively and offensively. With all the items listed, plus Southbound, the Animate Guardian should have around 50k life and 10% hp regen/sec, so it shouldn't die to anything except super rippy content. It would replace the 4L CWDT setup using a 21 Divergent AG, Minion Life, Divergent Meat Shield, and lvl 4 Empower.

The only iffy part is whether or not the AG will be able to keep up with our characters, as the Kingmaker buff is only 30 units. Still though, if someone has a spare AG setup on another character and is willing to try, I think the build could stand to gain a lot from it.

Thanks for the build.

I'm really enjoying it so far and I'm still starting.

I just have one question, how do I generate frenzy charges? Do I need to have more block? I'm just a bit confused if I'm supposed to use blood rage or just get more block

Any tips for Sirus with this build?
Everything was pretty well until spinning beams appeared - not beams exactly killed me (clones + beams pretty avoidable), but I believe that single "DIE" beam after that and it happened to me like 4 times

I really can't see him in that mess :\

PS Everything else was superb so far

Just a quick heads up, AoE corruption implicit on Poet's Pen would greatly improve clear. The mod is global, so both Blade Fall and Blade Blast overall AoE would get increased (you'll reach a point where you can spam the trigger skill on the middle of the screen and everything in a really big radius will just melt away). You also remove the issue with lingering blades from Blade Fall falling awkwardly too distant from each other, leading to Blade Blast's explosion not overlapping.

problem is you really don't want bladefall to have more aoe. Getting Asenath's Gentle touch will drastically improve clear if that is your concern.
