[3.24] 🗡The Nightblade🗡 Unholy Might : 100% phys converted to chaos

I really enjoy the idea that you're going for! It's a shame the changes made to Withering Step, hopefully there's a way to make up for the utility loss.

Do you suppose there's a way to make Dual Strike work with this build? Every time I see "Nightblade" I think of some kind of stabby guy.

Ambush + Dual Strike with daggers?

i love BF and assassin looks like something fresh i havent played BF with yet .

one question , does this build work in a scenario like :

day 2 ~4500 life , 5link and some 300 pDPS weapons

before you get like low life / petrified blood , legion jewel etc

or will yellow maps crush my soul

Yes, the build will work in yellow maps without endgame stuff.
Brutal Restraint, Petrified Blood etc. are for red maps.
You can go into yellow maps with a pair of unique daggers. Taproot is good, the reworked Bino will be good too (if the drop is not too rare). A rare dagger with 1.7 aps and 300 phys is not expensive.

A friend has theorized the idea of a big alpha hit against enemies on full life. Can be good but Pinnacle bosses take reduced dmg for some seconds at the beginning of their fights.

I have briefly tested Dual Strike some years ago. With the new melee splash dmg on the tree (maybe as an anointment), it could help for clear.

Atm I have the impression that Ambush works better for a slam skill, for a big "slambush" :D

God, that would be hilarious! Sounds like the normal BV is going to be better in every way than a dual strike/big damage at full life hit, so I'll just consider using that one!

Last video for 3.19 :

The Nightprowler

A tough Al-Hezmin fight then a 80% Delirious Vaal Temple.
With the usual greetings to my subs, as is tradition since 3.10.

Hope you like and see you tonight in 3.20 !
Can't wait to test Vaal BF :)

I'm currently working on a thorough demo video for Vaal BF. It's gonna take some time but it'll be worth it I think.

Good luck and have fun :)

I have just started Sanctum.
I was ready to go full meta slave with a Seismic Trap Saboteur. So I've started with Explosive Trap. When I reached the Ledge, I was already so bored of it, that I've bought Ethereal Knives ! And it feels so much better ! Even in the Sanctum.
With Viper Strike for rare enemies.
In this game, they should add a mechanic where you deal more dmg if you can backstab the enemy !
As soon as I can, I'll get Holy Flame totem to help for clear, then I'll get Reave, then BF at level 28.

I have gathered some early levelling infos in this video made during the Atlas invasion event last year.

I'm late into the league because I was working on a long demo for Vaal Blade Flurry with my character in Standard. It involved testing different setups to calculate the time it takes to reach max radius and release.

So here it is :

Vaal Blade Flurry

There is more than your dose of channelling and green bubbles explosions. Hope you like :)

Last update for this week-end

Current PoB in Sanctum :

Level 25. Viper Strike and Reave.
Just passed the Vaal Ruins.

My first Sanctum runs have been bad, but I'm slowly improving.
I think this build can fare pretty well eventually, because we can play it the sneaky way. We can deal with medium monsters with the Ancestral totems, blast the room bosses from a distance with BF, then go back into hiding behind a wall. Maybe use a Stibnite flask for the smoke cloud. Maybe use a special set of equipment with lot of Evasion, as the monsters seem to deal way less dmg than in the rest of the game.
I'll keep you in touch.

Good luck and have fun :)

PoB level 42 in Sanctum :

100% cold conversion with Hrimsorrow gloves.
2 Mightflay daggers
Prismweave belt

Next upgrade will be the Widowmaker daggers (+13% dps per dagger).

Was able to go to the second flood of the Sanctum. Failed just before boss.
I'm teaching some bosses what it means to play blade dancer.
