[3.22] Self Cast Discharge Assassin: One shot guardians

Hey there!

Playing your build in 3.21, and it's really strong!



Bosses are super easy. A bit squishy but i can live with that.
Reviving this build for 3.22 with a bit of a twist

The new tattoos are so good for this

Mapping video for 3.22

Build still incomplete but I believe my mock POB saves about 20 divines (not needing +1 PC rings) and actually increases overall DPS by about 5M
I see your using Anathema ring and Asenath's gloves, should i use the same, or surgebinders?

I lean towards Anathema ring right now as a 6L Bane is the same if not more damage than a +1 power charge ring which is significantly more expensive at 15+ divs right now.

I think Aseneth is better for mapping

But for Uber bossing, I'll be using Surgebinders (corrupted with temporal chains on hit)

That said I'm also experimenting with
and having a good time with the Discharge+Aspect of the Cat rotations

Brother I see that you min maxed it last league, glad you enjoyed it. Going to add your version to the OP.
3.22 UPDATE

POB: https://pobb.in/4mnldU1I-6Uj

I played this build in 3.19 and it's stronger in 3.22 thanks to the +1 PC tattoo: https://old.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/x5e1ux/319_discharge_assassin_cast_on_alive_1shot_baran/

*Mechanics/Improvements: *

Divergent Discharge + Crest of Desire to reduce chance of spending charges

Stack cooldown recovery to get more dischages. Have less duration + SA with Cat of the Aspect to increase refresh time of chages.

Stack frenzy and power charges through Badge of the Brotherhood, 2x Void Batteries, Assassin ascendency and Elixir.

Defenses are basically 100% freeze and Blood Notch + Petrified Blood shenanigans. Need to be a bit tactical on when you unload your Discharge bombs. I also map with Aseneth Gloves instead.

Why it's better in 3.22:

Cheaper and stronger - This setup cuts 20 divs from the 3.19 build thanks to new Sabotuer nodes and Anethema ring (basically the equivalent of a 15 div power charge ring when all Bane curses are applied). I think overall, there is a 5M DPS increase.

I just started doing maps after tidying up some of the gear.
Is Bane just for cursing bosses, or you are using to clear too?

my current gear:



Only have 34 mana left over with all aura's active at level 77, bit of a pain atm, maybe it will get better

Yes it will get better.

Do you have the 2x 35% mana efficiency jewel?

Discharge are mostly used for clear, I apply Bane when I see a blue/rare/potentially dangerous mob.

Frostblink is also really good at clearing white packs when you get used to the playstyle.

No, I don't even have Grace activated, as no mana for it, not got any grace jewel yet, assuming that is what you meant, as I see Grace mana reduction activated on small cluster on the updated tree, what 35% mana jewel do you mean?
