Reap?

You won't be getting past 1M DPS with this travesty.

You can get elemental / physical leech from influenced amulets and delve rings.

I'm league starting with Reap and will make the most optimal version of the build as I can.

Oh no! Someone might use something that's not optimal! Stop them!!

Agree with Orbaal that Heiro looks fantastic for those reasons followed by Elementalist, Inquisitor, and Trickster in some order.

I would understand you if it would be an item which provides a new interaction but it's just a stat stick that you could replace with something interesting or strong while you can easily get that single stat you want from other equipment.

Nobody is stopping you though.

Crit bleed assasin seems more doable

As of now that's the way I'm leaning. Also going to up to date on KissMeQuicks Assasin Crit Reap build guide in the PoE forums.

So spell damage is only is going to scale the damage over time correct for reap? Will have to scale hit/ physical differently?

It scales the hit damage as well, because the hit deals Spell damage. Damage over Time is distinct from Spell damage, so most spells which deal DoT directly (but not all, see Righteous Fire) apply Spell damage Modifiers to that DoT so that it can be scaled properly.

Personally, since Reap is a slow, hard hitting skill with a juicy 180% damage effectiveness, I'm running it on mines with Arcane Cloak, scaling only the hit damage, with a self-cast Reap supported by Less Duration to build blood charges. Since mines don't actually have your charges, they can't lose them, so you can kill with Reap all you want while still maintaining max blood charges.

it would be cool if we could use Perfect agony and Dire torment to scale the phys dot. Crit hits + dot multiplier

Unfortunately the DoT isn't an Ailment, because it doesn't scale off the hit damage.

My only hope is that reap can be used with mines otherwise it's gonna be a reflect nightmare.

Reflect nightmare because? As it is a half dot then it's certainly more lenient on reflect than every other skill that is purely hit and not a dot.

There are also new essence rings that mitigate reflect. Going to be easier than ever to deal with it.
