[3.24] 🗡The Nightblade🗡 Unholy Might : 100% phys converted to chaos
|
Hey rahsaan, thank you for your commitment to this build.
I am trying it out now in Scourge league and I like it a lot :). There are a few differences between the image and the PoB link you posted. For example the PoB build does not take life mastery or physical mastery (the whole node). Would it be possible for you to make those two references (image, PoB build) compatible with each other? That would help a lot to avoid confusion :) Once again, thanks for this awesome build! | |

Hey,
I have the impression there are some mistakes in PoB atm, with Spell suppression calculations and Master of Blades cluster. I'll wait for some update. While waiting, here is a beginner's tree in PoB, with the essential nodes and masteries : https://pastebin.com/8eGRUe2F I'm not sure about Magebane, so I'd rather not advise it for beginners.

" This one should work : https://pastebin.com/Fj24n0ZM There was actually a problem with the other PoB. Maybe because there was only the tree and no stuff ? I don't know. And now, I can't get another Pastebin link for 24 hours ^^ Rahsaan's Workshop, a post to showcase a dozen of my home-made builds : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3432443 Last edited by rahsaan on Oct 25, 2021, 10:53:00 AM

Hey Rahsaan,
I've decided to play your build as my League Starter on Scourge and I gotta be honest - the violence, speed and momentum of the Nightblade are insanely addictive. I'm speeding through maps with the crazy Elusive movement, high crits, and the Spell Suppression and high evasion seem to be working well. I also really enjoy all the Status Avoidances we have, it's just great. I'm scared of using Petrified Blood atm but I plan on doing it when I get better gear. I have a few questions and was wondering if you could help me please: 1) Do you have a PoB link available with Budget gear on it? I'm struggling a bit with my elemental resistances, strength, intelligence, and accuracy. Anytime I try to upgrade my equipment, I end lacking something again. My profile is open in case you want to check my character too. 2) On the main PoB link you provided for this build, with near 5m DPS, we have a dagger called Loath Bane Ambusher (571.1 DPS) and it has +249% increased Physical Damage on it. I was wondering how such a high roll number is possible? Are those different mods stacked together or influences or something? Thanks for this glorious in-depth build guide my dear Assassin friend. Kudos! Last edited by Nensei on Oct 26, 2021, 2:45:59 PM

Hi,
thx for your kind words. I will add them in the appreciation section of the first msg ;) The Loath Bane is only available in Std (for 90ex +). For a long time, it has been the #1 dagger of the game. Some mirror-worthy daggers have been crafted thx to Harvest mechanisms ever since. You will never find a similar one in league. Honestly, it's more of a luxury item that I've bought after 6+ years of playing PoE ;) My off-hand dagger is still expensive but more "realistic". It gives about 80% of the Loath Bane dmg. For budget stuff, you can browse this "Uber-PoB" : https://pastebin.com/AriYAFF0 It has several stages of the build from level 17 to 95 (but it still has the old 3.15 tree). I've checked your char. It's true that your stuff lacks some elem res. I'm sure you can find better amulet, rings and belt for a very cheap price (like 5-10c apiece) on the official trade. For exemple, you seem to be overcapped in fire res, so you can search another belt with a lot of cold res instead. Also, try to get some chaos res here and there, to be closer to 0%. Good luck and have fun :) * While I'm at it, Exiles, you can check my new guide on the forum : Energy Blade Hierophant - The Jedi ! It's very tanky thx to ES and MoM. But it lacks dmg for the moment, even with strong scaling of Energy Blade. On the other hand, you get to fight with a lightsaber, so there's that ;)  Rahsaan's Workshop, a post to showcase a dozen of my home-made builds : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3432443 Last edited by rahsaan on Oct 26, 2021, 3:03:17 PM

Hi! I've been league starting this build and I just got to act 9. I feel like I'm lacking damage though, like quite a bit, and I just got my first corrupted 6 link as recommended by the guide. If it ain't too much trouble can you look through my pob to tell me what I might be doing wrong? Naiirii is the character in question
Also question about bloodthirst support, wouldn't it be better to have maim, or even cruelty support or something because low life doesnt seem to synergize well with this build from what I'm seeing, plus one of starkonjas mods reduce damage while on low life, so I don't see why we'd use the gem. Of course I'm still kinda new to poe so please enlighten me as to what I don't know! Last edited by Nariod14 on Oct 26, 2021, 9:49:21 PM

Hi Nariod14,
you are right about Low-Life and the Starkonja. Going low-life is more of a endgame mechanics for this build : it allows to resist bigger hits and to reserve more auras. (I need to specify that in the first msg btw.) It is worth using Bloodthirst support when you have enough max life, because this support adds physical dmg based on your life. For the moment, you don't need this setup. To improve your DPS : I think almost all of your mana is reserved. You must run out of mana frequently, preventing you from using your skills. You should remove Herald of Ice for the moment. It doesn't bring much dmg (like 3%) and you already have Hatred to freeze enemies. Also, your elemental resistances are way too low ! I'm sure you die too often. The idea is to get 75% all elem res, and then, close to 0% chaos res. For the moment, your res are like 18/14/9. Search the trade for rings with 50+ life and two 30% elem res mods. For instance : https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Scourge/9klBmSK As you can see, you can find good stuff for 1-2 chaos. Do the same for the boots (the Victario's are insufficient at your stage in the game), amulet and belt. Take 30mn to buy stuff and get your elem res capped and it will change your gaming experience for the best ;) Then, do the Cruel Labyrinth, get Ambush & Assassinate ascendancy. It will improve your DPS a lot. Cheers !

" Firstly, thank you so much for the informative reply I really appreciate the time you took to type all this out for me, really. Currently I'm using Cruelty instead of bloodthirst and it feels really nice to get chunky hits before the release. I've also learned that in terms of dps you're definitely right, I gotta do the labs, but also the totems man. The totems add SO MUCH POWER. Before I'd get overwhelmed by Scourge in maps but as long as I shit 2 totems out before hand and put down the banner it's all good. They add so much to the survivability-by-dps its insane. Thanks for the advice on items, I'm currently doing the chaos recipe to afford the early gear for maps. Question though, where does the chaos damage come in for the build? is it just from daggers that add it? Are we poisoning somehow? I'm curious about that, cuz it seems the withering effect of withering step doesnt doo much rn Thanks for your continued dedication to this build! Nari |
