Not struggling with map bosses or rares, but definitely need more damage to do bigger bosses.

Any advice on what to upgrade next is appreciated

Your stuff is very good, the DPS is high.

It seems you have only 71% lightning res.

You should gain two levels. Going to level 94 is not that hard if you play safe and steady.
Then grab two small nodes in Revenge of the Hunted for life, or get Assassination notable, or a jewel socket.
Your main hand dagger is a bit slow (1.55 APS, my advise is 1.7 minimum).
After that, you gain DPS with some level 21 gems.
You can also find a source of Frenzy charge generation.

* Brittle ailment is nerfed :

"

The Brittle Ailment now grants up to +6% chance to critically strike afflicted enemies (previously +15%) and now has a default value of +2% (previously +5%).

It's probably time to consider removing Secrets of Suffering. We can reach close to 100% crit chance anyway and Chill/Freeze is an excellent defense.

* Buff to Spell Suppression on the tree
Also, it will be easier to reach 100%.

"

The Inveterate Notable Passive Skill now grants +15% chance to Suppress Spell Damage (previously +12%). The small Passive Skills in this cluster now grant +8% chance to Suppress Spell Damage (previously +6%).

This is +12%.
Another +3% on Intuition notable. Total : +15%, nice !

* Buff to Reave, a skill we can use before BF while levelling :

"

Reave now has 170% Effectiveness of Added Damage at gem level 1 (previously 150%), up to 250% at gem level 20 (previously 225%). Vaal Reave now has 250% Effectiveness of Added Damage at gem level 1 (previously 200%), up to 350% at gem level 20 (previously 313%).

3.19 Balance Manifesto

Thanks for your updates, was waiting for this to keep going on crafting better daggers. Im loving the build so far.

Hi Exiles,

Here is a last video for 3.18, with the usual greeting to my subs. This is a very tough fight against...

The Feared !

I have always failed this fight since my first attempt in 3.13. So I had to use legacy flasks and the Loath Bane Ambusher to finally down them.

My next objectives will be the Uber Pinnacle bosses. I think Uber Cortex and Uber Shaper are doable... with a bit of patience and luck.

I'll also check the 100 buffed unique items that Bex announced for next patch, to see which ones we could use. I hope my dear Bino's Kitchen is in the list :)

Take care Exiles and see you in 3.19 :)

Reworked uniques in 3.19

Recently, I have replaced Lori's Lantern ring with Ming's Heart, which I have used to defeat the Feared.

But in 3.19, Ming's Heart is changed :

"The Ming's Heart Unique Ring now has 25% reduced maximum Energy Shield (previously 5-10%), 25% reduced maximum Life (previously 5-10%), and Gain 40-60% of Physical Damage as Extra Chaos Damage (previously 20%). Existing versions of this unique can be updated with a Divine Orb."

IMO, it's way too dangerous to use it now, unless maybe for levelling, so I'll probably go back to Lori's Lantern.

*

For levelling, I think the reworked Death Rush ring is great (5% life recovered and Adrenaline for 3sec on kill).

I also like the reworked Hrimsorrow gloves, with its full phys to cold conversion. Some players have already talked about a 100% cold dmg Nightblade and I like the idea (whether for max freeze or max Brittle).

Does anyone have an up to date POB for 3.19 ? Really love to try out this build for the upcoming league.

I will post a beta PoB before launch if I'm back home early enough.
Expect no major changed compared to the current one :

I will probably remove Secrets of Suffering and make some adjustments related to Spell Suppression.

Cheers.

PoB 3.19 beta :
https://pastebin.com/WJJZ2j46

* Secrets of Suffering removed
* Lori's Lantern ring replaces Ming's Heart. I've also included Le Heup of All, with max Attributes.
* On the large cluster, Hit and Run is replaced by Feed the Fury.
* One With the Evil cluster.
* Mind Drinker for more mana (a player told me on YT that I lacked mana to reach the 7th stage of BF during the Feared fight)

I'll probably do some updates next week.

Have a good league start, Exiles ! :)

Would you recommend league starting this? I'm gonna SSF assassin no matter what.

What is the Gem setup?
Enlighten, or Assassin's Mark?
(This guide's text contains Enlighten, the attached PoB build contains Assassin's Mark.) (How comes that we do not need Enlighten? In what circumstances we do not need it?)

Also: Infused Channelling or Energy Leech? (Energy Leech "for bossing"? What is the difference exactly? Bossing is more offense, or more defense?)

(Please try to make a PoB that matches the build. Or, write a text that matches the PoB.)
