[2.6] 1.3M Tooltip LL EK Crit Assassin (Shaper/Uber/Trio) 10ex+ [ETHICAL]
  DPS with 9 PC, 5 flasks up. (No HH Buffs/aurabots etc.) Shaper/UAtz/Chayula/Trio all cleared Hello, This is my first forum post build, and by far the most powerful build I've personally played since I returned to PoE; my other end game character is max block dual striker and it doesn't come close to this clear speed. This build can be made on a budget of 10ex, and it only goes up from there. I personally have not spent more than 15ex (+ another 10 or so on flasks) or so as I have not felt the need. I have so far cleared all end game content except Chayula (about 50 splinters short) including Uber Atziri, Shaper, Vaal Temple trio on this character without much issue. I can clear any tier maps with most mods at the same speed most people run through Strand. (This build is definitely a tier below the Vfireball clearspeed builds I've seen). +/-
Spoiler
+ Great clear speed, not quite T1 but definitely close T2 + Only 1 gem change needed and only for Guardians/Shaper/etc bosses + Lazy...stun immunity, freeze immunity, just warp around and spam right click + Ethical (as ethical as LL can be), no double dipping whatsoever + Competitive with HoWA + Absolutely insane for breaches - Can't do phys reflect (disable hatred for ele reflect) - Effectively on a 5L due to required Life Leech gem - Somewhat pricey for that true end game feel - Relatively low MS, some rare 'OOM' issues vs bosses with no adds but clarity solves it fast. - Game is trivialized. T16 rare maps feel identical to t10 maps. Bandits
Spoiler
Normal: Kill all Cruel: Kill all (or cast speed) Merciless: +1 Power charge Skill Tree
Spoiler
Before level 80 just go for what you feel you need depending on gear...snagged a GG jewel? Get the extra socket. Dying too much? Get the ES nodes, and so on. If you have the currency just level with firestorm and then regret to this build, otherwise you can do EK from lvl 20-30ish once you get the jewel but it feels rather mediocre. lvl 80 lvl 91 Unique items
Spoiler
REQUIRED:
Spoiler
Shavronne's Wrappings; obvious for any LL build and we want the following BBBGGR links We want two Void Batteries for insane damage...we are playing with 9 power charges up most of the time which means we get (2 * (9*25 - 80)) = 290% Spell damage from these two, on top of the great cast speed and crit bonuses, these are the heart of the build. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED:
Spoiler
Presence of Chayula, stun immunity, gives us some much needed ES, overall great ammy but a bit pricey. If you are short the money you can avoid this and go with regular chayula amulet, or if you are really rich and can get high stun recovery then you can swap this out for another higher damage amulet. These boots were literally created for EK; cheap, high damage, good MS, and some resists to boot. I've got a pair of skyforth's and I use these + chayula amulet over them. Note the enchant; it is basically required for this build and .4% is enough I'm lazy, cbf dealing with freeze i like just afking and mapping while watching TV so this ring is great for me, and we have 4 rare spots for resists anyway so we are good. Strongly recommended, especially how cheap it is. Gem Links:
Spoiler
6L : Ethereal Knives + Faster Casting + Controlled Destruction + Life Leech + Spell Echo + Faster/Slower Projectiles 4L : Lightning Warp + Rapid Decay + Less Duration + Faster Casting 4L : Clairity + HoA + Enlighten + Discipline 4L : Orb of Storms + Curse on Hit + Warlord's Mark + Power Charge on Crit (for bosses) 3L : CWDT + Immortal Call + Summon Lightning Golem 3L : Blood Magic + Hatred + Vaal Lightning Trap Swap out Faster for Slower on bosses, use VLT on bosses along with OOS for power charge upkeep Enchants:
Spoiler
Required: Life + Mana leech on boots (preferably Brinerot Whalers). As EK is a spell getting sources of leech is a huge pain, and this is what allows us to map without going OOM. Optional: Helmet EK Damage (good) or EK Projectile Speed (better). 40% damage isn't that much, proj speed is definitely noticeable but with faster projectiles you are clearing the screen anyway. Jewels:
Spoiler
Required: Ring of Blades (EK Nova is now AoE, this goes in the southern most slot by Ranger area) Recommended: Energy From Within (Standard slot between witch and shadow areas) As some have complained about PC generation, user poupouf has solved this using a Blue Nightmare jewel in the right most jewel slot. Rare jewels: Crit multi is king, cast speed is second if you get dual multi mods + any other two that is a great jewel  Ascendency:
Spoiler
Deadly Infusion -> Assassinate Offense/Defense Screen Shots
Spoiler
Offense
Spoiler
With Faster Projectiles (general mapping)  With Slower Projectiles (bosses...really only Shaper/uber atz, etc.)  Defense
Spoiler
 relatively low ES (<8k) but I have not noticed it to be a problem running all content) My Gear
Spoiler
My next upgrade is replacing my diamond ring (Crit capped anyway) with an Essence of Scorn crafted one, however that will be a pricey upgrade and at this point I don't really need more damage so unsure if I will go for it. I will also be on the lookout for an EK proj speed hubris to craft. Update
Spoiler
Chayula down, thanks to vhmencario for the splinters; had over a minute left when the clock stopped and killed her in ~4 seconds.  Tried HoTG; can't run blood magic due to culling strike gms, and the caustic arrow guys wreck me and my 0% chaos resist; I don't think I can do this anytime soon without getting some CR Video

Have you done Atziri or Shaper yet?
Looks like an awesome and fun build to play, if I can afford it I might try it |
|
" It's ONLY 290% not 490%... |
|
" Yes; as of right now all end game fights completed: Chayula ✔ Shaper ✔ U Atziri ✔ V. Templer ✔ Rigwald 75+ ✔ 4/4 Guardians ✔ I don't have any videos as my computer is not the best, but I will try to take SS if/when I run next time. Only uncompleted map is HoTG and I will try it today. Last edited by BigNoseMafia on Apr 24, 2017, 6:53:11 AM

" Good catch, I must have made a mistake and am now correcting it. |

Whats your damage in hideout with auras and no PC on ?
|
|
|
Post your jewels please
And what's your damage without flasks |
|
" Damage no flasks, no buffs, no PC: 60,500.1 Damage with auras, no flasks, no PC: 116197.2 Damage with auras, no flasks, PC: 544,137.7 due to dual void batteries 9/9 PC is very important and the core of the build; keeping up 9/9 is very easy and at most requires an OOS every 15-30 seconds while mapping Last edited by BigNoseMafia on Apr 24, 2017, 12:08:39 PM

" Don't know how to link jewels from skill tree, my best jewel atm is: 15% inc phys 11% global crit multi 12% proj damage 15% crit multi while dual wielding |
