What are your thoughts about Assassin's Mark? At first it seemed like an incredible strong curse. The Power Charge generation effect allows you to drop PCoC for an additional dmg support gem (e.g. added fire), significantly bossting your dps as a result. Over the last days however I noticed several shortcomings of this gem:

1) Strong bosses that can 2-shot you:
Since normally can't kill trashmobs during boss fights, you will not have access to power charges. With only ~64% chance to crit, striking with a non critical hit 2 times in a row is quite likey, locking you in for 6 attack animations without leech which can be very dangerous.

2) Party play:
We all know that this game almost forces you into grouping for late game content (since sustaining high lvl maps solo is almost impossible). When you are in a party, you often will not be able to get the last hit and sustaining PC with Assassin's Mark will almost be impossible. Ofcourse the argument can be made that your DPS will probably be through the rough anyway with all the auras, but that does not change the fact that you want to play your character to the fullest potential in parties aswell.

What are your thoughts on this topic? Drop PCoC for Assassin's Mark or rather keep it in the 6L (and don't use curse at all)?

nice uber atziri kill.

which gems you use, doesnt rly matter, you can choose whatever you like, in the end, if you are a endgame mapper, you wanna do the least amount possible, so my build is around holding right mouse down until the map is clear.

The dagger that dani used in his budget video is really bad. You can get far better ones for ~12-15 ex. With that you not only have more DPS but also considerable higher leech making you alot more tanky. CI builds can easily be done with 200ex, you can't expect to reech those insane ES numbers of players with top CI gear though.

exactly i wanted to showcase the build with gear that basically "can just drop", remember no master crafting was used. the dagger is everything for this build, otherwise your leech is sooo low, that you just dont survive shit, as showcased. basically i would invest all ~200 ex in axn's loath bane dagger, and buy jewlery for 1 ex each and the rest of the gear can be purchased for a few chaos, he already got a 6l ci chest, so he doesnt need to buy that.

everything is explained in the guide and showcased in the videos.

if you got axn's dagger setting up a character is a piece of cake :)

some unqiues you might wanna look into

1. maligoros gloves
2. dream fragments/auxium belt
3. rainbowstrides

your chest is fine you only need to change the color to 1g 3r 2b

btw your chest is trires.

I personally would prefer Rumi's flask for block cap and nice spell block synergy with Rainbowstrides.

The problem is recharging rumi on atziri fight unlike a surgeon mod. with that said I am a big fan of rumi flask

Np yeah man was so happy when they finally put the reave mtx. I don't know how many times I would wsp Dan GGG over the past year and troll Chris every chance I got. So they must be sick of me by now :)

Cando I like the assassin curse a lot to help crit chance but for power charges if you are not the lead in a map party you might really want to use lightning strike with pierce since you can of screen to build charges and Reave or flicker in.

Also looks like Empire is selling his whole reave set if anyone has tons of exalts.
