[3.8] Assassin 5-12m Shaper DPS / LV 32 BV Poison /5.5k+ HP

how would i go about leveling this build?
and what is the ascendancy order

Do you think it's viable to pick up MoM either from Cloak of Defiance or the tree (while still keeping EB), go hybrid with ~2k-ish ES, put energy leech in the 6L for better sustain ? Maybe add endurance charge gen too.

I'm very intrigued by the build, but the sustain needs some work.

This build sucks, i cant even do t10 maps with it. Either im missing something or it just sucks.

Less than an EX invested , i'm currently in the process of setting up maps so i can get uber elder to spawn.

With only a tabula and one or two cold iron point daggers, t10 should be very manageble. (At least I did)

Here's my variant. Mind you, it's still very WIP.

Anything in particular you're struggling with?

Can i ask something fast how you can open all Auras
I mean Malevo/Despair/Agony/Aspect of the spider?

You reserve 100% of your mana:
Malevolence = 50%
Herald of Agony = 25%
Aspect of the spider = 25%
Despair/Temp Chains reservation is free when you use solstice vigil/impresence(chaos)

You use eldritch battery for casting stuff.

Apect says it is 35% to me

Nevermind i found it thnx.I had the cast on damage on gloves thnx m8.

Just go classic ele/crit bv. don't get any poison nodes until you get 3rd ascendancy. Go mistwalker -> opportunistic for the movement speed while leveling. Finish off with the the poison tree.


General comments. I've been delving with this build quite a bit recently. I use a cyclone - cwc - cold snap - fortify and threw an unleash in the main bv links so i can just click it once in a while to get 4 stacks. Lower dmg but fortify is super nice + cold snap chilled ground stacks nice with the other slows employed by the build. Frenzy charges always nice too. Ideal would be to craft fortify boots so I can also use infusion.

I use a phasing flask currently as it basically caps your dodge (70/60) but i will probably swap out for a bassalt. Also pretty big fan of plague bearer currently. Spin a few blades up, hit plague bearer + withering step and just speed through mobs. Could definitely make a variant with decay for speed farming.

dirty techniques annoint is also super cheap. might swap to solstice vigil + witchfire brew with double curse chest mod eventually. I like maddening presence though

edit: put cold snap in CWDT with steelskin. now using cyclone - infused channeling - withering touch - main (for the slow) in fortify boots.

Seems cool - but BV duration is rather low?

build has 50% increased skill effect duration so it's not that bad for me personally. helm enchant would be nice probably
