Dual curse, dual Ancestral Warchief CI Assassin

Introduction:
Spoiler
This build relies on the Assassin ascendancies to apply poisons on crit with our Totembro and scale damage over time with some poison double dipping.


Mechanics:
Spoiler

-Get 100% more poison and bleed damage
-Vulnerability and Temporal Chains for some more poison and bleed damage
-Assassinate or Culling corruption on dagger for bosses
Optional:
-Crown of Eyes
-Voidheart so you cause bleeding poison and maim on every hit



Defenses:

Spoiler
-CI + Discipline
-Totems get the worst of the beating
-Temp Chains
-Flasks



Pros and Cons:
Spoiler
Pros:
+ Rather tanky because of Totem frontline es and Temp Chains
+ Good clearing speed because increased AOE and Bino's poison Prolif
+ Rather cheap but scales very well with gear
+ Leveling is a breeze
+ Destroy T15+ bosses in a couple of seconds
+ Can get really cheap 6-Links with rather low ES
+ "Good" mobility with Whirling Blades

Cons:
- Totems need about 0.5 seconds until they start smashing skulls
- Ele Damage can be annoying if it kills your totems before they oneshot the whole screen
- Needs much strength and dexterity

You will most likely need stats, so throw in an Efficient Training gem in the right jewel slot, and a 30 dexterity note. If you have capped resists drop Faith and Steel for Alchemist or Throat Seeker.




Links:

Chest:
Spoiler

High ES, but keep in mind that for a 6L you would need upwards of 4k Chromes for a high ES base. So you might want to settle with a budget es / armor hybrid.

In order of Importance
Ancestral Warchief
Melee Physical Damage
Melee Physical Damage on Full Life
Faster Attacks
Increased AOE / Concentrated Effect for bosses
Less Duration(0% Quality!)
Conc Effect and Less Duration for some great poison double dipping.


Weapon:

Spoiler
Godlike Rare Dagger 300+ dps 70+ Spell Damage, Culling Strike Corruption. Or go with Bino's (as I do)

Whirling Blades
Faster Attacks
Fortify


Shield:
Spoiler
Rare ES shield with spell damage
Cast When Damage Taken (if you play with Enlighten drop this and add Discipline Vaal L.Trap)
Immortal Call (drop as well if you play with Enlighten)
Rallying Cry


Gloves:
Spoiler
Rare Gloves(for defenses) or Facebreaker
Vaal Haste
Vaal Discipline / Vaal Lightning Trap if needed
Increased Duration
Ice Golem



Helmet:
Spoiler
Preferably Crown of Eyes. Cheaper alternative: Rare ES Helmet with some resists and accuracy.

Orb of Storms
Power Charge on Crit
Faster Casting / Curse on hit
Increased Critical Strikes / Enfeeble

If you are lucky and have 3rd Curse on Amu go for Curse On Hit and Enfeeble.


Boots:
Spoiler
Rare boots with movement speed and resistances
Temp Chains
Vulnerability
Blasphemy
Enlighten or Discipline(if you want)



Rings, Amulet:

Spoiler

Rings:
1-2 Rare Rings with Physical Damage > %ES > resistances > +ES > Str, Dex >Spell Damage
While it is a bit expensive Voidheart would be BiS here
Amulet:
Citrine ( Str, Dex) is nice. +1 Curse would be BiS.

Physical Damage > % ES > Crit multi > resistances > +ES > Str, Dex >Spell Damage

Your link to char - you have many chars, you better write a name of char
You have forgotten your place, Karui slaaave!
What's your tooltip dps, just curious am trying out the same build
Hi, anyone still playing this build ?
I want to try out a ll or ci warchief totem char and this was the only 1 I found.
I'm pretty new to the game so I don't really understand how the spell dmg from the shield helps with the damage since the totem seems to be phys dmg?

Haven't played the build but thinking about it for the next league. The helmet seems to have a mod which says "Increases and reductions to spell damage also apply to attacks", so that is why spell damage scales the totem damage.
lol he didn't even made it to level 80. Why even bother people with low builds
