[2.5 Video Guide] Assassin CI Blade Flurry End-Game Build! [HC/SC]

My profile should be open to the public, that's weird, I'll check that. If you can see I currently don't have a totem anymore because I don't have chromatic orbs to modify my gloves, i just got these with more ES. For the tree i just follow the one already made. I try to go ES.

Hardcore viable? but.. you died several times in that video... maybe you use a diferent setup or something?

14k ES right now with



I made it a point to get a nice phys leech amulet, and it makes a huge difference in face tanking more things. And high rolled rumis is a must imo. The knockback flask adds dps but its knockback, ewww.

That's some high budget gear.

1. No stun immunity. That's pretty important.
2. You should get better DPS with an Inc Crit Multi gem instead of Crit Chance. Try comparing damage at max power charges. If it gives less then maybe you need the other power charge on the tree.
3. I would put Inc Dur instead of Inc AOE on Wither Totem. It will help with both the duration of totem and the wither debuff. The AOE size isn't as important.
4. Freeze Immunity and Anti-Bleed would be better on opposite flasks. Freeze is more common and dangerous than bleed. Considering your budget you could consider using Death's Door and swapping in Lion's Roar, Dying Sun, or Sin's Rebirth for the Stibnite.
5. Shield Charge would probably be faster than Whirling Blades if you used a Quicksilver.
6. Your Atziris is low rolled. You can find a better rolled one by incrementally boosting the price range. You should find a perfect one for under 3c.

Stun Immunity boots (Or rather stun avoidance) which is pretty noticeable. I want to give up my amulet for chayula, but I need those stats bad plus its a nice amulet. I was thinking of dropping voidheart if possible for the stun ring.

1. Drop Force Shaper and Deep Thoughts and get the double curse nodes. Vulnerability gives way too much damage to pass up. You will need Enlighten level 2 when you do this.
2. You have Vortex in your 6L Blade Flurry links. Put Inc Crit Multi there instead.
3. The gems in your gloves make no sense. Blood Rage needs to be in your weapon/shield so that you can disable it by weapon swapping. Switch the gems in your shield with the ones in your gloves.
4. The gems you're leveling in your weapon swap are all useless. Start leveling 6 Disciplines in hopes of corrupting a level 21. I personally level Empower/Enlighten but they aren't valuable enough anymore and take too long to level.
5. No stun immunity. Valyrium or Chayulas.
6. You aren't CI yet. Make the change and get the Energy From Within jewel. Your healthpool is going to be low but it frees up your flasks.
7. Get a tiny bit of mana leech so you don't need that mana flask anymore. This can be crafted on your gloves or you can buy a jewel that has it.
8. Get better flasks. You shouldn't need a life/mana flask. Ideally you would would have a Lion's Roar but if you cant afford that use a Granite and Silver Flask.
9. Master craft your gloves/amulet.

I would say this build is hardcore viable until red maps, but pretty much any build is. The main reason I wouldn't play this in hardcore is Blasphemy Warlord's Mark. I would definitely play something with reliable leech instead. It's also a high budget build so dying will be even more costly.

I see. Well Chayula gives some stats too. I would recommend dropping some gem levels on your red gems if you can't get the stats on other gear. Death's Door gives quite a bit of STR.

Ok. Dropped Voidheart, and using stun ring, as well as Crit Dmg gem. Very good setup now. Also rerolled flasks an d put inc duration on wither totem. When I get some funds from selling, I wonder if a 320+ dps dagger would be better than binos.

A rare dagger will definitely feel better if it has high APS. The problem is they're way too expensive to be worth it. I wouldn't drop Voidheart when using Binos personally. Red gems don't need to be max level. I realize yours are corrupted, though. You should use the 30 str node instead of that 8% flask node instead. A Quicksilver instead of the Stibnite might be better since you're running Shield Charge now.
