Bleeding assassin build possible?

Hi there

I'd like to make an Assassin build base on bleeding/poison effect with the unique Rive claw ( http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Rive ).

Main skill would be cyclone in a life base build with hight life leech.

I think of a tree like that:

Base link would be cyclone + increased phys damage + increased aoe + rapid decay

I didn't look for the defensive part yet. I'd like to know first if this kind of build can work or totaly not?

I feel that a classic cycloner is stronger but i'd like to make a bleeding melee build works =)

Thanks for reading.

Fly safe

You´re late, doing it on PropHC atm, using REAVE with the RIVE however.

It´s pretty good, tho u really want atleast 1 flask with knockback for singeltarget and for late-game one would use a dagger with Vagan bleed mod crafted on it instead.

>But i wouldnt recomend doing it, one chould just as easily make a COC build and be better at everything,

Thanks for the feedback i'll maybe give a try =)
