Depends if you need ES/resists or wanna use Skyforths instead. I would use a Dying Sun, Sin's Rebirth, or Rumi's Concoction instead of a Witchfire though.

Hey again ffhighwind,

I was checking your Blade Flurry Assassin and I noticed... You have Immortal Call, but not much in the way of generating Endurance Charges? I see you have the Claws of the Magpie passive, but that's stealing from an enemy... Like for PvP...

Where exactly are you generating Endurance charges from since you don't use Warlord's Mark? Or you kill so quickly that you don't need the extra protection? I was thinking of switching to something similar to your build, but I'm not sure.. Just need some clarification on a few things..

Thanks again in advance.

Edit:
Any suggestions as how I can increase my DPS? Throatseeker passive?

Immortal Call works without endurance charges, it just doesn't last as long. It's especially useful for reflect.

Your passive tree is fine the way it is. You could run Etup's build with the leech wheel instead of dual curse Heretic's Veil. I'm unsure if 2R would be better than 2G. Make sure and keep Blood Rage, flasks, and Vaal Haste up as much as possible.

DPS improvements:
1. High quality Vulnerability and high quality Blood Rage. You can roll over to 20% quality from level 20 using the vendor recipe. Use Vulnerability on Blasphemy with Heretics Veil. This will make your dps much better.
2. Voidheart will make your poison much more consistent and act more like Herald of Ash.
3. Death's Hand (Dual Scourge is better and cheaper)
4. Dying Sun (highly recommended for clear speed), Taste of Hate, Sin's Rebirth
5. 6 link (expensive)
6. Abyssus (not recommended)

Use the vendor recipe to make 20% quality gems. It's WAY cheaper and better than using 20 GCP on a gem. Sell a level 20 gem + 1 GCP to an NPC and it should give you a level 1 20% quality gem. Unless you're rich you should only use GCP on gems that are already 10%+ quality or Empower/Enlighten. Always do this for your gems except damage based spells (Flameblast/etc). Do this because it doesn't take much time to get level 18-19 and the levels don't matter very much except for spells.

Your resists seem low. Don't overdo it with uniques like Timeclasp. You want to be at least 15-20% overcap.

Thanks for all of your advice/help, ffhighwind. I was having fun with Timeclasp. Having high attack speed was fun... Yeah I wasn't thinking when I used up my GCP's.. So now I have to wait until I get one before changing my Blood Rage.

Any suggestions for my weapon gems? What exactly does Orb of Storms do really? I've seen a few people using it against bosses. Is that with PCOC?

Thanks again.

Here's some ways to get more attack speed. Craft/buy some Insanity Essence gloves and hope they don't suck (1ex). Buy a rare dagger with high APS that beats Binos (10-20ex). Respec to Dual Scourge (1-2ex).

Level 6 Disciplines in your offset because it's the only gem worth corrupting in this build.

I used Orb of Storms for Culling to farm Guardians/Shaper. It's not necessary but it helps a lot with Shaper since the fight gets hard when he's low life. I think PCOC is better on shield charge or whirling blades but you can put it on Orb of Storms as well.

Yeah I was thinking of maybe respec'ing to dual Scourge, but my gear isn't great for me to lose an ES shield.

I only have 15 more days for this league, so I dunno if it's worth it to do that now.. If I find a few Exalted Orbs, maybe... :)

No. ES builds are not newbie friendly. I recommend playing a life based build as your first character. Mathil played a life based version of this at the start of the league. However, I would recommend a spell build instead since it's a lot easier for a newbie to level up. Try a flameblast/firestorm Elementalist build. If you want it even easier then play a totems based version (a.k.a. pizza sticks). If you would rather play blade flurry then I recommend using blade vortex or bladefall when leveling up. When you get to level 35 or 60 you should buy a Mightflay/Marking Doubt dagger to use blade flurry.
