[2.2] Acrobatic Knives - Assassin - Ctri EK/MoM/Phase Acro/VP, Ascendancy skill tree updated.
" I guess I was fooling around to see the fight pattern of Malachai. If you take this as a dodge build, then you must consider about what would happen to those hits you may not able to dodge. Well I think it's not a pure dodge build, I listed 'LC + AA + Chaos Golem + CWDT-ImmortalCall + VP leech' for a reason. Savour these moments, for they may never return.

Do you convert EK's damage to elemental damage just to avoid physical reflect? When you do that, you're horribly gimping EK's damage, because physical mitigation is far rarer than elemental resists.

" That's only partially true for a Crit build, since he gains Shock. And not dying to Reflect is a BIG DEAL. I actually approve of his idea for Crit EK. I still prefer non-crit, but this is how I'd do Crit EK, probably (at least some of it). One thing that would push this build into "amazing" territory would be Berek's Grip, what with Freeze+Shock, removing the need for Life Leech gem, and most of the mana concerns.

" Sweet, thanks for the explanation. | |
" I think I had made the point clear in the title, but everyone has their own style, you can play without damage conversion. For me, I'm just sick of dying to reflection and willing to give up some dps for survivability, that's all. Savour these moments, for they may never return.

Two questions: Do i need those gloves that you have? and can i do level 66 maps at level 62?
|

" In most cases, you don't need certain gloves for the build, I use 'Maligaro's Virtuosity' just for more dps. For doing maps with physical reflection mod, you'd better have 'Hrimsorrow'. And I'm not sure about doing lv66map at lv62, are you leveling up? why not docks? Anyway, here is the tree what it would look like at lv62 for my build. If I have a 4L chest, decent gear to support resistance/life/mana regen, I think I can do it. (fyi, many players finish act3 in merciless(lv68 maps) around lv60 or even lower lv.)

So I have been using this build and its been great so far. Another question I have is instead of Phys to lightning is added fire a good substitute? Only reason I ask is I got a 5l chest to drop off koam but cant get the colors to match what I need. Any suggestions? EK dps is around 15k at lvl 74.
Here is the chest

'Added fire damage' is a nice choice for dps, just be careful with the reflection. And you can always replace 'faster casting' to 'physical to lightning' in case you can't/ don't want to skip the monster with reflection.
And here's another option if you can't get the right colour for your armour. 'Iron Will' is also one of the enhanced skill gem in 2.0. by The Awakening Patch Notes: Iron Will no longer penalises cast speed. Instead, it grants 2% increased spell damage per level. It now grants 0.5% increased spell damage per 1% quality. Savour these moments, for they may never return. Last edited by shghostell on Jul 16, 2015, 8:02:23 AM
