What defence mechanic should I invest in with a Spectral Throw Assassin?

Hi guys,

Going for a spectral throw assassin build. So just wondering what type of defence should I invest in?

I'm playing SSF so won't have access to godly gear.

Will I be best going full evasion and taking Acrobatics or Iron Reflexes?

I will us a sheild as well.

Thanks for any advice :-)

I'd say evade+dodge is a good option. You can easily farm yourself some atziri's steps once you reach that level of play, and evasion is pretty powerful with stibinite/jade flasks, dodge, blind etc. Acrobatics and phase acro add nicely to the mix as well, giving you high defenses even with relatively low life pools of about 6k

personally I would use basalt flasks with evasion rather than jade flasks, your weakness with evasion is physical damage 1 shots, jade wont help you with that.

You can still use Jade + Stibnite + Basalt flask together though unless you have the Taste of hate flask or smth like that.

Add enfeeble + fortify (on movement skill) to the top and you will be fine even with 5-6k life (big boss attacks dodge manually).

Like you have any other meaningful option different than eva/dodge, as assassin...

With eva/dodge chars, most important are the secondary sources of damage mitigation.
It's mostly basalt flask (high roll chemists/ample), endu cry (even without extra charges), IC, enfeeble (with blasphemy if setup allows it).

There are also extras like kintsugi and lightning coil.

Some good ideas, thanks guys :-)
